Some men at a camp encounter the purple, fleshy lump and poke it with sticks, but they are only slightly more fortunate than Can Man from <em>The Blob<\/em> (1988). Instead of the shapeless mass climbing the sticks and consuming the men, a faceless, chiseled specimen of a man bursts forth and screams despite having no mouth with which to do so. All of the men are dead, their faces stolen.<\/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\/03\/inuyasha-s3e15-not-the-blob-e1646195303901.png\" alt=\"The demon emerges from the purple blob\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The naked, faceless demon is trying on the faces, trying to pick one he likes when a cute monk tries to eliminate him.

This incarnation of Naraku is utterly insatiable. Even Naraku thinks he&#8217;s the most abominable creation yet. The Adonis demon decides to take the name of the monk whose face he stole: Muso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inuyasha removes Muso&#8217;s arm with Tetsusaiga, but a swarm of Naraku&#8217;s bees shows up and turns into a new arm. The battle quickly escalates, and Muso handles the gang without breaking a sweat.<\/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\/03\/inuyasha-s3e15-bee-arm-e1646195081364.png\" alt=\"Muso admires his new bee arm\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Muso recognizes Kagome, who just returned, from Onigumo&#8217;s memory of Kikyo.

Kagome is finally doing poorly in school. It&#8217;s remarkable, really, that she was able to hang so long since she&#8217;s always running around feudal Japan fighting demons. Her friends still hate Inuyasha, but they have a lengthy and funny talk about all of the guys she&#8217;s been running around with in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new incarnation springs forth from Naraku without a face, but before long, he finds a great one and steals it.
