Chapter 235

Kyōkotsu is the 235th chapter of InuYasha manga.

Synopsis

 * Kōga knows that Kyōkotsu is the ghost who smells of dead humans and graveyard soil, and is neither human nor demon. Kyōkotsu admits he still stinks like a corpse, so he needs to eat some more flesh and blood and start to smell more living. He tries to eat Kōga, but the wolf easily beats the giant in speed.
 * Kōga and Kyōkotsu fight, and eventually Kōga is able to twist the giant's face, snapping his neck. The un-dead man pretends to have died, but then grabs Kōga by surprise.
 * As Kyōkotsu is about to devour him, Kōga jams his arm into the giant's forehead, pulling out the sacred jewel shard, causing Kyōkotsu to die. All of the giant's flesh melts away and turns into but nothing bones. Kōga gets trapped in the huge rib-cage of bones for a moment and reaches out to try and collect the jewel shard, but a Saimyōshō appears at the last second and steals the shard. Kōga then realizes it was Naraku who was manipulating Kyōkotsu.
 * In a battlefield full of corpses, Jakotsu asks Kohaku if Inuyasha is handsome. The boy says that Jakotsu will just have to find out for himself. The chapter ends with Jakotsu wondering what color Inuyasha's blood is.
