Episode 146

The Fiery Bird Master, Princess Abi is the 146th episode of the InuYasha anime.

Plot
Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Myoga discuss the last jewel shard over a campfire. They arrive at a village filled with bodies drained of blood.

A group of bandits are burning a village when they are attacked by a flock of demons. Naraku approaches Princess Abi as she oversees her demons drinking the blood of the bandits. Naraku offers her a weapon made of his bone, but during their conversation they are interrupted by a group of demons. Naraku destroys all the demons, leaves some Saimyosho with Abi, and departs.

Inuyasha and companions arrive at a village that fears it is to be the next victim of the demons attacking local villages. As the sun sets, the flock of demon birds arrive. As the battle ensues, Princess Abi arrives surrounded by Saimyosho - effectively preventing Miroku from using his Wind Tunnel in battle. Inuyasha joins battle with Princess Abi, but she quickly retreats - after discovering the barrier created by the weapon Naraku gave her.

Trivia

 * Abi could be a reference to one of the Four War Gods from the 4th movie. As one of them controls fire and he also looks similar to Abi.
