Ryukotsusei, Father's Old Enemy
Inuyasha sneaks off on his own to see Toto-sai. He asks Toto-sai if there is anything he can do to make Tetsusaiga lighter and easier to wield like it was before Goshinki broke it. If the sword is like it once was Inuyasha will not have to worry about it becoming a hinderance in battle and thus making him discard it and unleashing his full-demon blood. Toto-sai tells him of the dragon Ryukossei who his father once fought, but could not kill. If Inuyasha can kill the entrapped demon the blade should become lighter because Inuyasha will have done something his father could not, and the weight of his fang that is inside the blade will loose it's heavy weight. Naraku sees this using Kanna's mirror and then sends one of his puppets to the site where Ryukossei is imprisoned before Inuyasha arrives. As soon as he does, the fake Naraku melts the seal keeping Ryukossei asleep and tells him that Inuyasha is the son of the demon that sealed him.

He manages to knock Tetsusaiga away from Inuyasha, who begins to transform just as the others arrive.

Inuyasha finally manages to retrieve Tetsusaiga and reverts to his original half-demon form. He manages to shove the blade into Ryukossei's heart, but even that does not stop the incredible dragon. Only completely destroying his body will put an end to him. Suddenly Tetsusaiga returns to it's original lighter weight and Inuyasha is able to wield it as he once was. With the new power of the blade he unleashes the Bakuryuha attack, which combines the power of the Scar of the Wind with the attack of an enemy making for an ultra-devestating technique. Ryukossei dies and Inuyasha regains the power of Tetsusaiga and no longer has to worry about his demonic side emerging as long as he possesses the sword.
