Inuyasha Eng Dub Season 1 Episode 10 Collision of the Demon Blades! The Lightning Blade vs. Tetsusaiga
- December 18, 2000
Kagome is trying to study for her upcoming exams, but Inuyasha is too noisy outside. He is loudly practicing with Tetsusaiga, his powerful demon-slaying sword. Kagome decides to go out and tea Inuyasha to stop, but she finds him battling with a stranger - a demon called Raikoh, who wields a lightning blade similar to Tetsusaiga. They seem evenly matched, and Kagome and other witnesses are stunned by the intense power on display.
The two swords clash in a shower of sparks, and the impact sends shockwaves through the nearby buildings. Inuyasha is able to dodge most of Raikoh's lightning strikes, but his sword seems to be struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, Raikoh is able to absorb Inuyasha's holy power, which comes from the Shikon Jewel that Kagome possesses. Raikoh mocks Inuyasha for relying on a mere human for his strength, and Inuyasha becomes enraged.
Kagome tries to intervene, using her bow and arrows to separate the combatants, but Raikoh emerges unscathed. He is determined to claim Tetsusaiga for himself, believing it to be the only sword worthy of his superior skills. Inuyasha challenges him to a duel, and the two prepare for another round of intense combat.
The fight is brutal and intense, with each blow hitting harder than the last. Kagome is worried that both swords may shatter from the force of the collision, and she desperately searches for a way to help Inuyasha. She recalls a piece of advice from her grandfather, who tells her that the power of Tetsusaiga comes not from the sword itself, but from the heart of its wielder.
With this knowledge, Kagome encourages Inuyasha to trust in his own strength and to be true to himself. She reminds him of his past successes and of the friends who believe in him. Inuyasha pauses for a moment, then roars with all his might. This burst of energy powers up Tetsusaiga, and Inuyasha charges forward with renewed vigor.
The final battle is brief but dramatic. Inuyasha lands a solid blow on Raikoh, shattering his lightning blade and revealing the true demon hiding inside. Inuyasha and Kagome are able to vanquish the demon with ease, thanks to Inuyasha's newfound confidence and strength. Kagome congratulates Inuyasha on his victory, and they return home, satisfied with a job well done.
In the aftermath of the battle, Inuyasha reflects on the lessons he has learned. He realizes that his strength comes not from his sword, but from within himself. He also realizes that he is not alone; he has friends who support and believe in him. Kagome shares Inuyasha's reflection, grateful for the opportunity to have witnessed such a powerful display of loyalty and determination.
The episode concludes with the two friends laughing and teasing each other, enjoying each other's company in the aftermath of the intense battle. Inuyasha vows to continue growing stronger, not just for the sake of Tetsusaiga, but for himself and for his friends. Kagome smiles at this thought, confident that Inuyasha will continue to surprise and impress her with his strength and bravery.
