Episode 79

Jaken's Plan To Steal The Tetsusaiga is the 79th episode of the InuYasha anime.

Plot
Envious of Inuyasha's sword, Jaken tries to steal it for Sesshomaru, without his master's knowledge. He wants to do it, to repay Sesshomaru who once saved his live (killing a demon who was in his way). Jaken's henchman turns out to be too innocent to successfully steal anything, so Jaken goes for it himself. After a failed first try, posing as a sharpener, he manages to lure Inuyasha and his friends into a hot spring, and takes the Tetsaiga while they bath. He entrusts it to Rin, who as a human can touch it, while he tries to delay the pursuit of Sango. But Rin, worried about him, comes back to catch him. However, she inadvertently lets go of the Tetsaiga, much to Jaken's grief. While Jaken and Rin are separated from Sesshomaru, Kagura comes and takes Rin with her.
