Sesshōmaru tells Inuyasha to leave while he can and to remember his past that he lost his heart to a mortal (Kikyō) and under a spell for years and no right to come for a battle. Then Hachi had arrived as he brought Myōga. Inuyasha learns from Myōga, the story of how his father and his allies with Sesshōmaru battled and defeated the panthers in the Great War eons ago, but he told them it was long before that it was Inuyasha's father still in the, as the panther tribe attacked the west and tried to conquered all other demons, the Panther King is an enmormous leader, as two daiyōkais fought and as the Great Dog Demon emerged victorious as the Panther King defeated, but then the panthers angered and cursed Dog General and his family for all eternality and sworn one day want get their revenge.
