Musō (monk)

Muso(無双, Musō) is separated from Naraku in an attempt to remove his human core, Onigumo, and thus also Onigumo's love for Kikyo. He is the sixth detachment of Naraku. Naraku cares so little for this incarnation that he gives it no name or face; Muso takes both of those for himself from a wandering monk that he kills. Muso ventures to Kikyo's former village, where he runs into InuYasha's group and battles them quickly after their encounter. Soon Naraku quickly realizes, however, that he cannot abandon Onigumo when demons try to gain their freedom from his body, and Muso is absorbed back into Naraku.

Meeting Naraku
The posinous insects take Muso to nearby forest where Naraku is waiting. For the first time ever Naraku and Onigumo come face to face with each other. In the manga Muso instantly attacks Naraku and is absorbed almost imeditally. The anime goes into further detail with the encounter. Naraku tells Muso that Kikyo is alive again and she is as he remebers her. Before he can question Naraku about Kikyo InuYasha and Miroku appear. As InuYasha starts a fight with Naraku, Muso runs away. Still angry at Naraku for his imprisonment he decides to go back to kill Naraku. He stabs Naraku in chest however doing this allows Naraku to reabsorb him. Naraku reveals that he still needed Onigumo's heart as a connector for his body, which why he needed to reabsorb him.

Abilities

 * Facial theft - Having been created without a face, Muso can take on facial identities of others by apply faces to his head after ripping them off.

Trivia

 * Muso's faceless depiction seems to contribute to Onigumo's severely crippled condition as his body was coated with bandages with only one eye and his mouth being visible, thus leaving his undamaged face a mystery.
