Episode 177

Naraku is irritated that there is still a speck of purity remaining in the Shikon Jewel, which could be exploited. Inuyasha and his group arrive in a village of beautiful flowers and the demon Kaou traps Inuyasha in an illusion created by his sorrow over Kikyo. Kagome saves him and defeats Kaou, purifying the village which removes the flowers. Meanwhile, Naraku orders Kanna to lure Inuyasha and his companions into her mirror. When the group arrives, a demon emerges from the mirror that appears to steal Tetsusaiga's power to use it against him, forcing Inuyasha to flee.
