Yura's comb

"It's probably got powers cause it was once used to comb the hair of the dead."

- Inuyasha

was Yura's true form. It turned into her from brushing the hair demons for so long. This made Yura to immune any physical attacks. She occasionally used it to help her manipulate her hair. She hid it inside of a red skull. It was destroyed when Kagome continuously hit the skull it was hidden in with her arrow.

Powers & Abilities

 * Using her red comb, by making a sweeping motion, Yura can unleash a torrent of flames which can be channeled down her hair for a better attack. She uses this attack on Kagome, claiming that it would incinerate her body, and that "not even her bones would be left". This would have happened, had Kagome not been wearing Inuyasha's fireproof robe.

Manga vs. Anime

 * In the manga, Inuyasha never mentions that Yura's comb was used on the dead. Rather, she started out as an Oni, who then managed to transfer her soul into the comb to make herself immortal.

Trivia

 * Due to originally being nothing more than a comb that eventually came to life, Yura's comb is most likely a reference to the "Tsukumogami" from Japanese folklore. Which are objects and tools that came to life and evolved into Yokai after being kept around for 100 years.
