Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language, as well as violence, though this is only when it is present in the original Japanese version. Page 1 1 [Inuyasha (in his human form) looks grimly at the blade of Kaijinbou's sword.] Title: Toukijin ( "Toukijin" is the name of the sword, and the kanji ("tou-ki-jin") loosely translates as "fighting-Oni-god" (or "fighting-fierce-god").) Page 2 1 [View of the swamp near Kaijinbou's place.] Fx trees: rustle... 2 [View of Sesshoumaru walking along.] Fx Sesshoumaru: *feet over ground...* Page 3 1 [View from above of Jaken's body inside the hut.] Fx sound: *stillness...* 2 [Closeup of Jaken's face.] 3 [Sesshoumaru looks in from the entrance.] Sesshoumaru: ...... 4 [Closeup side view of Sesshoumaru.] Sesshoumaru: Kaijinbou's doing... huh. 5 [Sesshoumaru takes out Tenseiga.] Fx Tenseiga: shing Page 4 1 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru's face.] Fx Sesshoumaru: *sharp look...* 2 [Sesshoumaru sees the pall-bearers over Jaken's body.] Fx pall-bearers: *glare* 3 [Sesshoumaru cuts them.] Fx Tenseiga: *slice* 4 [Closeup of Jaken, looking a bit creepy.] Fx Jaken: *stir of power...* 5 [Jaken opens his eyes.] Fx Jaken: (heart) *pulse...* Jaken: ...... 6 [Closeup of Jaken, looking a bit confused.] Jaken: Huh...? Jaken: I'm sure I was cut by Kaijinbou... 7 [Jaken sees the bottom half of his body in front of him, still seperated, and has tears in his eyes.] Jaken: hey, I did...! 8 [Black frame.] Sesshoumaru: {off} Let's go Jaken. Sesshoumaru: Hurry up and attach your body together. Page 5 1 [Jaken looks up at Sesshoumaru who has turned to leave.] Jaken: ...Sesshoumaru-sama...? 2 [Closeup of Jaken.] Jaken: Ummm, could it be... Jaken: that you saved my life with Tenseiga...? 3 [Closeup side view of Jaken.] Sesshoumaru: Apart from me, is there anyone else who can do that, huh? 4 [Jaken seems to have gotten his body back together and is looking at Sesshoumaru with tears in his eye. (It kinda seems like Tenseiga will repair very serious injuries and can even bring seperated body parts together. Rather like what the full Shikon no Tama can do, though Tenseiga seems a bit slower.)] Jaken: Sesshoumaru-sama... Fx Jaken: *be moved deeply...* Jaken: .oO(I'm quite deeply moved.). Sesshoumaru: Did Kaijinbou finish the sword? 5 [View of Jaken, having stood up.] Jaken: Th, that's right. Jaken: Kaijinbou forged a sword from the Oni's fangs... ( Sesshoumaru more literally says "Did Kaijinbou finish the 'katana'", and Jaken says "Kaijinbou forged a 'tsurugi' from the Oni's fangs". "Katana" is quite general, though can also mean "blade" (in the Japanese style). "Tsurugi" is perhaps more general though older, and Jaken is implying that the new sword is a two-edged sword - in full this would be "moroha no tsurugi". There are lots of words in Japanese that mean "sword" or "blade" in some way, or a particular make or style of sword. Two-edged swords became rare a few centuries before the Sengoku Jidai - after making Katana was perfected.) 6 [Closeup of Sesshoumaru who turns slightly back to look back at Jaken.] Jaken: {off} Also, for some reason he looked strange, and... Jaken: it's as if... Page 6 1 [Murky black frame.] Jaken: it's as if he was being controlled by the sword... 2 [Scene change to a view of stars in the night sky.] Fx leaves: rustle... 3 [Closeup of Inuyasha look up at the sky.] Inuyasha: .oO(Dammit...). 4 [View of the campsite - Inuyasha is sitting with his back against a rock looking up. To his left is Miroku, who seems to be asleep while sitting up. On the other side of the fire from Inuyasha is Sango, asleep on the ground with Kirara. To Inuyasha's right Kagome is (mostly) in her sleeping-bag with Shippou in her arms.] Inuyasha: .oO(The night is long...). 5 [While in his same sleeping pose, Miroku talks.] Miroku: Inuyasha, how about sleeping a bit. Inuyasha: Miroku... Page 7 1 [View of Inuyasha turning away, looking annoyed.] Inuyasha: Bah, leave me alone would you. Inuyasha: When I have a human appearance, I don't sleep. 2 [Miroku gives Inuyasha a look, and Inuyasha gets annoyed.] Miroku: Too scared to sleep huh? Inuyasha: _Wha_... 3 [Inuyasha looks away.] Inuyasha: Humph... 4 [Inuyasha turns back to glare at Miroku.] Inuyasha: So I'm scared, well excuse _me_. Miroku: At least you're honest. 5 [Closeup of Inuyasha looking more serious.] Inuyasha: After all, there's all sorts who hate me. Inuyasha: If I was attacked at a time like this, I'd be helpless wouldn't I. 6 [Miroku is looking off at something, seeming serious.] Miroku: Well... maybe that is worthwhile after all. Inuyasha: Hm...? 7 [Sango has her eyes open, and Kirara is alert too.] Sango: Houshi-sama... you noticed? Miroku: Sango... 8 [Sango sits up.] Sango: A terrible evil aura. Miroku: It's nearby. Page 8 1 [Near the camp, a figure with a sword appears in the distance.] Fx figure: *walking over ground...* 2 [Closeup of Kaijinbou holding the sword, Toukijin.] Fx Kaijinbou: *walking over ground...* Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy...* Kaijinbou: Gugugu... Kaijinbou: Inuyasha... where are you...? ( "Gugugu" is a rather monstrous chuckle. I was doing this as _kukuku_ before, but this was a mistake. Goshinki used this chuckle.) Page 9 1 [The group are rather shocked by this.] Fx group: shh Miroku: !? 2 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: Who the hell are you. 3 [Kagome and Shippou wake up.] Kagome: Ah...? 4 [Closeup of Kaijinbou.] Fx Kaijinbou: (breathing) rasp... Kaijinbou: Gugugu... I am Kaijinbou. Kaijinbou: The swordsmith... 5 [Inuyasha and Miroku look on.] Inuyasha: A _swordsmith_...? Page 10 1 [View of Toukijin in Kaijnbou's hands, wisps of energy flowing around it.] Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy* Kaijinbou: The sacred sword I forged, "Toukijin"... Kaijinbou: It's weeping that it wants to suck up Inuyasha's blood... 2 [Closeup of Inuyasha, getting the point.] Inuyasha: .oO(This swordsmith...). Inuyasha: .oO(Why is he after _me_!?). 3 [Energy crackles around the sword.] Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy* 4 [The sword moves and is now pointed at Inuyasha.] Fx Toukijin: *stop* Inuyasha: ! 5 [Closeup of Kaijinbou.] Fx Kaijinbou: rasp... Kaijinbou: Oh-ho... Kaijinbou: So you're Inuyasha huh...? Page 11 1 [Kaijinbou is pointing the sword right at Inuyasha.] Kaijinbou: Well well... I was thinking you'd be a Youkai... Kaijinbou: You're just a human brat, aren't you... 2 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: Kaijinbou... is who you said you are, right. Inuyasha: Who put you up to this!? 3 [Closeup of Kaijinbou.] Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy...* Kaijinbou: Gugugu... as I already said... Kaijinbou: This sword is longing to cut you... 4 [Closeup of Miroku thinking.] Miroku: .oO(What's with this sword!?). Miroku: .oO(It's covered with a bizarre evil aura...). 5 [Off-scene, Kaijinbou continues, surprising Inuyasha and Miroku.] Kaijinbou: {off} Gugugu... You know, Toukijin here... Kaijinbou: was forged from the Oni's fangs that bit apart the sword Tetsusaiga, made by that old fart Toutousai. Page 12 1 [Inuyasha and Miroku look surprised, with a drawing of Goshinki above them. (actually it's kinda two seperate frames, but it makes more sense as one)] Inuyasha: .oO(The Oni that bit apart Tetsusaiga...). Inuyasha: .oO([That sword's made from] _Goshinki's fangs_!?). 2 [Inuyasha and Sango look on.] Sango: Meaning that sword has Goshinki's malice has confined in it, huh. Inuyasha: Bah, Inuyasha: anyhow, that won't do you any good. 3 [Inuyasha charges forwards angrily.] Inuyasha: Come and fucking get it Kaijinbou! Inuyasha: I'll beat ya again!! Fx Inuyasha: *dash* Page 13 1 [Sango and Miroku rush ahead of Inuyasha.] Fx Sango: swish Sango: Get back Inuyasha. Inuyasha: _Wha_... Miroku: Leave this to Sango and I! 2 [Shippou and Kagome are holding back Inuyasha.] Shippou: You have no chance to win at the moment. Fx Shippou: fwip Kagome: Be patient Inuyasha. 3 [Sango throws her mega-sized boomerang.] Sango: Hiraikotsu! Fx Hiraikotsu: whizz Page 14 1 [Hiraikotsu turns around in an arc.] Fx Hiraikotsu: whizz 2 [Without even looking behind him, Kaijinbou swings Toukijin back at Hiraikotsu (which was coming at him from behind) cutting it in two.] Fx weapons: (striking) whack Page 15 1 [Sango's rather surprised.] Sango: Ah... 2 [Inuyasha and Kagome are surprised too.] Kagome: Hiraikotsu was... 3 [The two pieces of Hiraikotsu fall to the ground.] Fx pieces: *fall with a thud* Kaijinbou: Gugugu... futile. 4 [Miroku rushes forwards while reaching into his clothes.] Miroku: .oO(Since that sword is Goshinki's fangs, which bit apart Tetsusaiga,). Miroku: .oO(then it would cut Hiraikotsu in two easily... ). Miroku: .oO(In that case...). Fx Miroku: *tug* Page 16 1 [Miroku throws out a bit of paper at Kaijinbou.] Miroku: I'll have to use this instead! Fx paper: vwip 2 [The paper, which is a Ofuda talisman, hits Kaijinbou on the forehead and delivers a massive shock.] Fx Kaijinbou: sizzle Kaijinbou: Gwhaa! 3 [Miroku swings his staff right into Kaijinbou's forehead at great speed.] Miroku: Face your judgment! Fx staff: (Kaijinbou) wham Page 17 1 [Kaijinbou falls to the ground, blood streaming from his forehead.] Fx Miroku: shh Fx Kaijinbou: *fall with a thump* 2 [Shippou, Inuyasha and Kagome look on, surprised.] Shippou: Gottim. Kagome: .oO(You'd think Miroku-sama had no tricks up his sleeve other than the Air Rip, but he does have his Buddhist powers too.). ( Kagome is actually addressing the readers with this - ie reminding us that Miroku doesn't just have the Air Rip.) 3 [View of Kaijinbou's cracked head.] Fx grass: rustle... 4 [View of Toukijin, still in Kaijinbou's hand.] Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy* 5 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: !

Page 18 1 [Miroku dives to the side as Kaijinbou makes a slash with Toukijin. Kaijinbou has blood (and brains?) coming from his forehead.] Fx Toukijin: wham Miroku: {dodging} Hah! 2 [Closeup of Kaijinbou.] Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy...* Kaijinbou: Gugugu, you're amazin'... Toukijin... Kaijinbou: You're the greatest sword.... 3 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: .oO(The enemy isn't Kaijinbou...). Inuyasha: .oO(It's that sword.).

Kaijinbou: [Is that why] you're cowardly hiding behind those weaklings you're with? 5 [Shippou speaks to Inuyasha worriedly.] Shippou: Inuyasha, don't get provoked by him. Inuyasha: Bah!

Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy...* 3 [Closeup side view of Inuyasha dripping some blood and looking determined.] Inuyasha: It's too bad, Kaijinbou.

Toutousai: A way in which to be able handle heavy Tetsusaiga, that is... 5 [Inuyasha stares at Toutousai up-close, and Kagome has turned up too, looking a bit surprised.] Kagome: Eh... Inuyasha: There is a way? Toutousai: It's simple. 6 [Inuyasha continues to stare at Toutousai.] Inuyasha: ...... Page 12 1 [Quite a comical scene with Inuyasha patting Toutousai on the back, with a smile.] Inuyasha: ...You're not seriously going to suggest "train your body", are you? Fx Inuyasha: (Toutousai's shoulder) clap Toutousai: *gulp* 2 [Inuyasha has whacked Toutousai on the head.] Fx Toutousai: clunk... Inuyasha: So it was that. Miroku: Have you finished your conversation? 3 [View of Toukijin, with dark energy swirling around it.] Fx Toukijin: *pulse of energy...* 4 [Miroku and Toutousai approach the sword.] Miroku: The sword's evil energy has decayed.

It seems to be a made-up word (or very rare) and literally means "sword-force" or "sword-pressure". Both Tetsusaiga and Toukijin can cut without even physically hitting - Tetsusaiga's top-end "kenatsu" being the "Cutting Wind". Kaijinbou got cut apart by Tetsusaiga's "kenatsu" in the previous chapter, and it also kept back Toukijin's "kenatsu" that time - Inuyasha won that "kenatsu" battle.) 3 [Miroku turns to Toutousai.] Miroku: Has Inuyasha now got no chance!?

His eyes are almost vacant looking, but look human.] Fx Juuroumaru: rasp... 2 [Full view of Juuroumaru, now that he's outside the cage.
