Goshinki

Goshinki (悟心鬼) The third detachment of Naraku, Goshinki was a large horned ogre yōkai with the ability to read minds. He was extremely agile, very powerful, and had teeth so strong they ultimately broke the Tessaiga in two,.

Goshinki's task was to slaughter an entire village to lure the badly wounded InuYasha there. Using his ability to read minds, he countered InuYasha's every attack, eventually seizing the Tessaiga in his fangs and shattering it into pieces. Though InuYasha was near death, the absence of the Tessaiga allowed InuYasha's yōkai blood to take over, making it so Goshinki was unable to read InuYasha's mind and allowing him to be easily killed.

In a later chapter, InuYasha's half-brother Sesshomaru has an evil sword named Tōkijin crafted by Kaijinbo from Goshinki's fangs.

Abilities

 * Superstrength - Goshinki typically possesses enhanced strength for someone of size, able to easily defeat Inuyasha and fling him about whilst causing serious injuries


 * Superspeed - Despite his size, Goshinki wields surprising agility, effectively dodging and countering Inuyasha's attacks. He leaves afterimages in his wake, much like Sesshomaru.


 * Mind reading - Goshinki's most terrifying technique is the ability to invade other people's minds and read their most inner thoughts and discover their weaknesses. He was unable to read Inuyasha's mind when he first became a full demon for the first time due to his savagery and his absolute lust to kill.
