InuYasha special items and attacks
Encyclopedia : I : IN : INU : InuYasha special items and attacks
This is a list of special items and attacks in the InuYasha manga and anime series.
- Kotodama no Nenju — (necklace of subjugation)
The necklace of subjugation is introduced in the very first manga as a spiritual device to control InuYasha. It was made by Kikyo, and later invoked by Kaede, intended to keep InuYasha from killing or hurting Kagome. When Kagome says "Osuwari" or "Sit Boy", InuYasha is immediately thrown violently to the ground. InuYasha is unable to remove it. The Kotodama no Nenju consists of a number of round beads (estimated at between 42 and 49 in number) and between seven and ten magatama beads which are often mistaken as claws. The magatama is an ancient comma-shaped bead imbued with great spiritual and mystical powers. These beads have been found as far back as the Jomon period (jo-mon-jidai, about 10,000 BC to 300 BC). (The most famous Magatama are the Yasakani no Magatama - one of The Three Sacred Treasures of the Founding of Japan).
- Sankon Tessō (Exorcising Claws of Steel) — InuYasha's basic attack, he slashes opponent with his claws. Known in the English anime as "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer", or just "Iron Reaver".
- Hijin Kessō (Blades of Blood) — InuYasha's special attack. By dipping his claws in his own blood he is able to use a similar attack as Sankon Tessō (Iron Reaver) and fling the blood which forms flying razors, cutting his enemies from a distance.
- Tessaiga (also known as "Tetsusaiga" in the English version) — InuYasha's sword, made from one of his deceased father's fangs. Tessaiga has four attacks:
- * Kaze no Kizu (風の傷 Wind Scar) — Special attack that can kill 100 yōkai with one strike. InuYasha learned it by himself while fighting Sesshomaru, but it was first used to save Miroku from yōkai.
- * Bakuryūha (爆流破 Explosive Flowing Wave) — Tessaiga's ultimate attack, caused by trapping the enemy's spirit in the Kaze no Kizu & making it flow the opposite way. InuYasha discovered this ability while fighting Ryūkotsusei, a giant dragon yōkai who even InuYasha's father was unable to defeat completely. Also known as "Backlash Wave" in the English anime.
- * Kongōsōha ((金剛槍破 Diamond Spear Wave) — This power was given to InuYasha by Hōsenki to defeat Naraku in the boundary between this world and the next.
- * Ryūrin no Tessaiga's technique — A currently unnamed technique from the manga that allows the Tessaiga to absorb a yōkai's energy. InuYasha learns this technique after breaking the Datsuki, a weapon forged from a dragon scale. However in the later manga chapters it is revealed by Totosai that because InuYasha's fang was used to reforge the Tessaiga, it can only absorb a limited amount of yōki. If InuYasha were to absorb too much yōki then the blade were to turn black and it would cause him immense pain.
- Tessaiga has five forms:
- * Rusty Tessaiga — Tessaiga's basic form. It has no special power at all. InuYasha can't transform it into any of its other forms when he is in his human form.
- * Transformed Tessaiga — When wielded by a hanyō (like InuYasha), Tessaiga transforms into a larger version of itself, roughly resembling a large falchion. First used against Sesshomaru, it wasn't until the following battle against the yōkai Tsukumo no Gama that InuYasha learned how to control the Tessaiga's transformation. After being repaired when it was broken by the yōkai Goshinki, for a short time it was too heavy for InuYasha to wield. When InuYasha defeats Ryūkotsusei not only does he gain the ability to able to use the Kaze no Kizu at any time, Tessaiga becomes light as a feather.
- * Red Tessaiga — When InuYasha saved Shiori from her grandfather, she gave him an orb that, when cut, gave Tessaiga the power to break any yōkai barrier. Naraku eventually is able to create a barrier that cannot be shattered by this after becoming a yōkai at Mount Hakurei.
- * Diamond Tessaiga — By killing Hosenki (Hōsenki), InuYasha got the ability of turning Tessaiga into diamond in order to use Kongōsōha. It is able to bypass Naraku's stronger barriers as well.
- * Ryūrin no Tessaiga (Dragon-scaled Tessaiga) — By breaking the Datsuki, a weapon forged from a dragon scale, the Tessaiga has gained the ability to absorb yōkai energy. The blade looks like the regular Tessaiga except it has a few dragon-scales on the non-sharp side of the blade.
- Hama no Ya (破魔の矢, Purifying Arrow) — Kagome's and Kikyo's weapon. They concentrates holy powers on their arrows and is shot at yōkai to destroy them. Kagome almost destroyed Naraku in his powerful form (after Hakurei) by using an arrow Kikyo had mixed with Onigumo's burial soil.
- "Osuwari" (literally 'Sit!' (a formal command as given to a dog), but for dubbing reasons often rendered into 'Sit, boy' in English) — A voice command that causes the rosary around InuYasha's neck to take effect and brings InuYasha crashing down into the ground. Although this can be useful for controlling InuYasha, Kagome has been known to often abuse this power.
- Shikon no Tama (四魂の玉 Jewel of the Four Souls) a.k.a. the Shikon Jewel — The Jewel that started the whole story was embedded in her body at the start of the series. This Jewel was the item that made Kikyo seal InuYasha to the Tree of Ages 50 years ago. When Kagome arrived in the feudal era, she accidentally shattered the jewel into hundreds of shards. It holds tremendous power inside it and, one shard inserted into a yōkai increases their power considerably. The Jewel is what brings InuYasha's team together and keeps them together for so long.
- Hiraikotsu (Boomerang Bone) — A huge boomerang used by Sango as a weapon. It is made from the bones of yōkai. It seems that Sango is the only one who can lift and throw it effectively.
- She also carries a sword that she occasionally uses instead of the boomerang in close combat.
- Sango can also produce blades from the armor on her arms. She seems to only use these in desperate situations or for extremely close combat.
- Foxfire (Kitsune-bi) — Shippo's foxfire, used to burn really really really weak enemies, though it has absolutely no effects on stronger enemies. Shoots green/blue colored fire when used. Not used as much as his illusion attacks.
- Leaves of Illusion — Shippo uses his magical leaf to create illusions and change his shape. Also notorious for his giant bouncing mushrooms, chestnuts, and other oddities.
- Shape-shifting- Shippo has powers of transformation, though he often gives himself away because his tail does not morph most of the time. Though they can be quite helpful, his transformations often look completely ridiculous.
- Kokoro no Kizu (Heart Scar); An attack that allows Shippo to see a yōkai's energy and release it by biting it on the neck
- Kazaana (Wind Tunnel) — Kazaana is a powerful vortex in Miroku's right hand which sucks everything in the vicinity into itself. It is a curse given to Miroku's grandfather by Naraku, and eventually it will grow to consume him, as it did to Miroku's father and grandfather. This attack's weakness is in Naraku's poisonous insects called Saimyōshō, which, when sucked in, poison the attacker. Miroku won't use this ability if it endangers innocent lives.
- Staff of Hōshi — With his staff Miroku can create a small protective barrier for a short period of time.
- Sacred Sutras; Sacred and powerful scrolls that can emit flames or stun their enemies.
- Tenseiga (Natural Fang) — Sesshōmaru's sword. Rather than killing 100 people, like Tessaiga's Kaze no Kizu, it can resurrect 100 people. It is a blade that cannot cut the living, but it can slay creatures related to the afterlife. Sesshōmaru resurrected Rin with it when she was murdered by Kōga's wolves. Sesshomaru genuinely hates this sword, though its usefulness has been proven. He would have preferred to have inherited the Tessaiga, which is destructive rather than constructive. After his other sword, Tōkijin, was broken, Totosai reforged Tenseiga to be used as a weapon. Its one attack, Meidō Zangetsuha, is supposedly capable of dragging a foe directly into the underworld (and therefore instantly killing it) when Sesshomaru fully masters it.
- Tōkijin — Sword forged from Goshinki's fang. It possesses a strong yōkai and the sword was forged from the very teeth that broke Tessaiga. Tokijin itself was broken on the armor of Mōryōmaru, one of Naraku's detachments.
- Dokkasō (Poison Flower Claws) — Sesshomaru's right hand can release deadly poisonous gases and acidic liquids.
- Whip of Light: A very handy weapon that looks like a whip made of pure energy. It is summoned out of his pointer and middle finger and has no boundaries of length.
- Jintojo — Sesshomaru gave this useful two-headed staff to Jaken when they first met to detect the grave of Sesshomaru's father. The heads are of an old man & woman. It can blast fire at enemies. In Buddhist legend, the jintojo is used by Enma Daiō ("king of hell") to measure the weight of sin in the dead.
- Hama no Ya (破魔の矢, Purifying Arrow) — Same as above with Kagome, only Kikyo's bow is longer.
- Fūin no Ya (封印の矢) — Arrow of sealing. She used this arrow to seal InuYasha to Goshinboku after Naraku tricked her into believing they had betrayed each other.
- Shinidamachū (死魂虫 Soul Collector or Soul Skimmer) — Soul collecting insects used to collect the souls needed to help Kikyo sustain her life.
- Shikigami — Kikyo can fashion shikigami to serve her. One was a partial image of herself as Hijiri-sama that she used to attract the attention of InuYasha and help him defeat Abi-hime's birds. She also created 2 servant shikigami, Kochō and Asuka, who led Kagome to her to help purify Naraku's Shōki and continue to help her by acting as messengers. Tsubaki also uses Shikigami.
- Shikon no Tama manipulation — Kikyo (and presumably other miko, as well as Naraku) has the ability to take shards of the Shikon no Tama and combine them into a whole piece. She also has the ability to purify it (much like Naraku has the ability to corrupt it).
- Shōki (沼気, Miasma) — Naraku's special poison gas.
- Kugutsu (傀儡, Puppet or Dummy) — Naraku makes a clone of himself to attack his enemies by distance. A small wooden doll with a strand of Naraku's hair lies at the center of the puppet and when destroyed, the clone is destroyed. A similar wooden doll is kept with the real Naraku and controls the puppet.
- Mimicry — This ability does not have an official name. Naraku copies someone's body and voice, becoming an exact copy of that person. He used this ability to breed hate between Kikyō and InuYasha and to curse Miroku's grandfather with the Kazaana.
Kagura uses a special fan to summon her wind attacks:
- Fūjin no Mai (, 風刃の舞 Dance of Blades) — Fires off multiple spinning blades made of wind.
- Shikabane no Mai (屍の舞 Dance of the Dead) — Allows Kagura to manipulate dead bodies or bodies whose souls have been drained by Kanna's mirror.
- Ryūja no Mai (竜蛇の舞 Dance of the Dragon) — Creates many small tornadoes.
- Kagura also has a feather that can increase in size and is used as transportation.
- Magical Mirror —
- * Allows her to steal someone's soul and keep it inside her mirror so that Kagura can take complete control over their bodies. When her mirror was filled by souls from Kagome's arrows, it began to crack and Kan'na had to release the souls to save the mirror.
- * The mirror will reflect an enemy's attack back at them, whether physical or made of yōki.
- * The mirror can also used as tool for scrying, an ability employed usually by Naraku and once by Kagura.
- Hama no Ya (破魔の矢, Purifying Arrow) — Kagome's and Kikyo's weapon. They concentrates holy powers on their arrows and is shot at yōkai to destroy them. Kagome almost destroyed Naraku in his powerful form (after Hakurei) by using an arrow Kikyo had mixed with Onigumo's burial soil.
