Inuyasha (2000–2004): Season 5, Episode 1 - The Truth Behind the Nightmare: Battle in the Forest of Sorrow - full transcript

Here we come!

It's the start of Inuyasha!

We're going to gather all the shards
of the Sacred Jewel...

and I'll destroy Naraku
with my Tetsusaiga!

We're on a journey in search of
Naraku who has disappeared.

Together, we've managed to
overcome many hardships,

but a dark shadow will cast over
the hearts of my friends.

Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara...

travel back in time!

To a Feudal Fairytale!

Inuyasha!

Aiiro ni chirabaru nanatsu no hoshi yo

Scattered about are seven purple stars.

Sorezore ni ima omoi wa tsunori uchikudakarete ai wo sakenda

Thoughts are brought together by each, crushing our cry out for love.

Nigedasu koto mo dekizu ni yume ni sugaritsuku

Unable to escape from it, we cling to our dreams.

Ikasama na hibi nado ni wa mou makenai

We won't lose anymore to the everyday trickery.

Mezameyou kono shunkan wo

Wake up right now.

Yagate bokura wo torimaku dearou

Soon we seem to be surrounded

Musekaeru you na riaru na nichijou

by the REAL world choking us

Taisetsu na mono wa ... nanda'?!

Your important person...is who?!

Zeitaku na sekai no naka ni miekakure suru eien no kakera

In the luxury world, shards of eternity are appearing and disappearing.

Sawatte tsukande bokura no ima wo kicchiri aruitekou

Touch and seize it, now let's precisely walk this way.

Saigo ni, warau tame bokura no ima wo kicchiri aruitekou

In order to smile in the end, we now walk precisely this way.

Well, Inuyasha?

Have you found the way out?

Shaddup! I'm trying to concentrate!

You've been at it since morning
and it's getting dark.

Why're you shaking?

Miroku, this forest must be...

Yes, there's no doubt about it.

This is a demon's nest.

Shucks! Did it again!

Damn! Get rid of a useless
thing like that!

No way! My mother bought it for me.

It's coming... something evil.

At last! The master of this forest
makes his appearance.

A demon or an apparition?

If I can see it,
I can get rid of it!

Quit stalling and show yourself!

Welcome to my Forest of Sorrow.

T-That's...!

Kagome, that demon is...!

Yes, it's Gatenmaru.

Oh? You know Gatenmaru?

He's the bane of my tribe.

I hear he banded together with
lowly humans,

then got himself killed
by a half-demon.

Now that's a sharp sword.

That half-demon... was me.

That was such a stupid ending
to the fight.

Why?
The smell of demon blood?

You pesky moth!

If you wanna avenge Gatenmaru's death,
I'll gladly take you on!

Avenge?

Whatever for?
He deserved to die!

I could care less about him.

Whatever!

I hate moth demons like you
and him!

Inuyasha!

W-What?!

What is this?!

I was careless!

It won't come off!

It's entering my body!

My power...

...is being sucked out!

Damn!

Kagome!

Kagome!

Tetsusaiga isn't working!

It's so uncouth to suck out
human blood...

These days, my tribe likes
to devour

the heart and soul, shaking
in fear and despair.

Dammit!

Miroku!

Hey! Don't be so weak!
Hey Miroku!

Sango!

Hang in there!

Whatever you shout,
they cannot hear anymore.

Shippo!

Hey! Answer me!

Shippo!

By morning, a part of me shall
take hold of their hearts and bodies.

Wind Scar!

Shall I test it?

It's useless!

The only way to break this curse
is to defeat him!

Now then...

I shall create nightmares for you...

And you shall pour out your
ultimate fear and despair for me!

Hey! K-Kirara!

Are you all right, Kohaku?

If Kirara can handle him like that,

maybe it's too early
for him to face battle.

No such thing, Father.

Kohaku is very skilled
with his sickle and chain.

If you say so...

He'll be fine!

And if anything should happen,
I'll be with him.

Kohaku!

K-Kohaku!

S-Sister...!

I'm scared...

It's okay.
I'm with you...!

Kohaku...

How fun! How fun!

Well, Miroku?

Don't you forget all your cares
when you're here?

Master Mushin, why isn't
my father here?

Master Mushin?

Your father did not want you to
see him part from this life.

Part from this life?

By now...

Father!

F-Father...

Pa!

Look, Pa!

See?

So many acorns.

Pa!

What's the matter, Sota?

Buyo went in here.

This place is creepy.

It's too late to say that.

Sis!

This miasma...

No! No way!

Sota, run! Hurry!

Sota! Snap out of it!

What's the matter, Kagome?

What's all the fuss?

Don't come!

Suffer!

Beyond that suffering awaits
unfathomable despair.

I shall get an ample taste of
your fear and hopelessness.

What'd you do to those guys?!

Just letting them dream.

Dream?!

Humans and demons alike...

all have fears that they suppress
deep down in their hearts

which dreams can release.

We feed on that.

You bastard!

Release Kagome and the others now!

A half-demon!

I can see your fear
so clearly.

What?!

Without your comrades,

you're so lonely,
you can't bear it.

Shaddup!

I can fight alone!

However...

I just don't like you making
my friends your fodder!

All talk.

The unbearable fear of
being alone...

I shall devour it!

Shaddup! Take this!

Wind Scar!

He's the one who's all talk.

Think you won?

What?!

Even if you destroy me,

I'll devour their souls

and with their bodies...
I shall grow another self.

And that will spell YOUR end!

Being devoured by your
former friends...

that is the fate that awaits you.

And at that moment,

you will be truly released
from the fear of loneliness.

The cocoon won't disappear...

What can I do?!

Just what?!

Dammit!

Why you...!

Kagome...!

Shippo!

Miroku! Sango!

Kohaku!

Sis! Rejoice for me!

I did it!

I exterminated demons
all by myself!

Exterminated demons?

You...!

Father will praise me, won't he?

Sister...!

Kohaku!

It's your fault, Sis.

You didn't praise me.

Master Mushin!
Let me go!

Please let me go!

Miroku!

Your Wind Tunnel has
reached its limit.

Don't go anywhere!

I'll find Naraku!

One more step...

Miroku, what's the matter?

Don't come near!

Miroku...?

Miroku!

Don't come!

I-Impossible!

It's not exposed!

Monk... did you want so much
to be saved?

At the expense of
your friends' lives?

It's all your doing!

Cursing my grandfather
with the Wind Tunnel...

Help!

Oh... I've been dreaming.

What's the matter, Kagome?

It's unlike you to be dozing off.

You were sleeping so soundly.

You've been cramming too hard.

No such thing...

This can't be!

Everyone, run!

It's dangerous to stay here!

Damn!
Blades of Blood!

Kagome!

Kagome!

Is that all there is
to your powers?!

Was it so weak that a mere dream
could devour it?!

I misjudged you!

If you're gonna give up
so easily,

I'll defeat Naraku alone!

Don't come crying later!

Wake up!

Don't let a moth demon
eat your heart!

Kagome!

You're not a weak girl
like that!

Tell me...

Tell me...

To Sit!

Kohaku!
Forgive me!

I must kill you,
or you can't return to me.

Why?

Why is that, Sis?

I'll kill you, then kill myself.

This is the only way to get
you back from Naraku!

I'm sorry, Kohaku!

Don't kill Kohaku.

We must get him back alive!

But... with me around...

It only causes everyone trouble.

Quit rambling!

It's better to stay together!

You're good at fighting.

Inuyasha!

What're you afraid of!?

Inuyasha!

If you expose that hand once more,
I'll cut it off!

Don't you want to defeat Naraku
and break the curse of the Wind Tunnel?!

This is no place to be
wasting time!

You're absolutely right, Inuyasha.

Hang in there, Shippo!

Fox fire!

All right!

Hey Shippo, you've been
trying hard.

Yeah!

Kagome!

Inuyasha!

You smell nice.

What a thing to say
at a time like this...

Run, Inuyasha!

You can't win in your
human form.

Fool!

As if I'd go without you!

I'll...

...I'll protect you!

That's right.

I have Inuyasha.

As long as I'm with Inuyasha...

As long as I'm with everyone...

I can overcome any adversity!

Guys!
Atta way, everyone!

That's what MY friends
are made of!

Inuyasha!

Hey!

We're leaving this forest now!

Over there!

Take this!

Wind Scar!

The forest disappeared.

So it was all an illusion
created by Garamaru.

We wasted so much time
because of him.

I'll say!

Uh-huh...

But y'know...

Without me around,
you guys are nothing!

What? Any complaints.

Well, that's exactly true.

At least today,
we'll let it go.

What a way to put it!

Never mind, Inuyasha.
Everyone acknowledges what you did.

No, I DO mind!

If you really believe I saved you,
at least say, "thank you."

Well then, Kagome, as our representative,
please say a word.

All right.

What?!

Tell me... to SIT!

Inuyasha...

Th-ank you!

Whoa... it wasn't "sit."

Well now, shall we proceed?

Yes.

I'm hungry.

Hey! Hey Kagome!
What'd you just say?

Say it once more!

Not anymore!

C'mon! Say it!

Such a bother!

What?! Kagome!

Say it!

Sit!

The crimson-stained sun

Is what I have imagined within this twilight

more than my own hands can accomplish?

Please teach me how to live

a little more vulnerably than I do now.

Won't you taint me just a little?
