She name drops Kikyo, instantly convincing her, so they ride together on Kagura&#8217;s giant feather to meet with Naraku. He promises Tsubaki eternal youth, and she&#8217;s ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as she arrives back in feudal Japan, Kagome is bitten by a ghost-like demon serpent, a familiar of the dark priestess. Tsubaki uses Kagome&#8217;s blood to darken the Shikon jewel with a curse that also turns Kagome&#8217;s jewel shards black. The curse takes over Kagome, so Miroku and Sango take off on Kilala to find the dark priestess and stop the curse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50 years before, Tsubaki tried to use a similar curse against Kikyo, but Kikyo reflected the curse back on her. LOL, you tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetripfiles.com\/contains-spoilers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/inuyasha-s3e6-reflected-e1645160715328.png\" alt=\"Kikyo reflects Tsubaki's curse\"\/><figcaption>I&#8217;m rubber, and you&#8217;re glue&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kagome fires enchanted arrows at Inuyasha, with Tsubaki urging her to kill him, but she fights for control and warns Inuyasha to run. Kilala crashes into Naraku&#8217;s protective barrier, but Kikyo draws near.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"episode-score-card\">Episode Score Card:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Iron Reaver Soul Stealers: 1, <em>extremely<\/em> effective against a paper silhouette.<\/li><li>Wind Scars: 0<\/li><li>Backlash Waves: 0<\/li><li>Wind Tunnels: 0<\/li><li>Swarms of Naraku&#8217;s Bees: We got Naraku but no bees.<\/li><li>Jewel Shards Recovered: 0, but the 3 they have turned black, which seems <em>quite bad<\/em>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"did-you-miss-it\">Did you miss it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kagome&#8217;s family remains supremely chill about her travels to and from feudal era Japan.
