Episode 17 (Hanyō no Yashahime)

"Trap of the Two Perils" is the seventeenth episode of Hanyō no Yashahime.

Synopsis
Moroha, Towa and Setsuna set off to slay Totetsu, but the man-eating demon's fellow peril, Konton manages to trap them inside an endless valley leading to the gateway of death. As they try to find some way out of this, Riku decides whether he should use this opportunity to snatch the red, gold and silver Rainbow Pearls from them.

Plot
Riku approaches Konton, who is preparing a spell against the girls and offers himself to lure them to his trap, as well as Toutetsu, who will be used as part of their plan. He then informs Moroha about Toutesu's location and suggests that Kirinmaru must be involved with the Dream Butterfly, which also piques Towa and Setsuna's interest. The three stop Toutetsu from eating another monk and chase after him to the field of Konton's trap, where they are separated. Trapped inside Konton's magic, Towa realizes his trick and together with Setsuna, they break free and pinpoint the enemy's location.

Trivia

 * Riku is confirmed to be a vassal of Kirinmaru. He appears to be close to his master as Kirinmaru remembers his name.
 * Zero is the one who wants Towa, Setsuna, Moroha and Inuyasha dead. Kirinmaru has no interest.
 * It seems the Spirit of the Tree of Ages might have gotten timelines confused, given it can see all of time; it's possible she may have gotten Kirinmaru of the main timeline confused with Menōmaru with the first movie's timeline.
