InuYasha [Inu-Yasha] #16
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVolume 16 of Viz's InuYasha manga series continues the epic feudal fairy tale as InuYasha and Kagome face new threats in their quest for the Shikon Jewel shards. This collection deepens the conflict with Naraku and introduces pivotal character developments, including the tragic backstory of the demon slayer Sango. The volume compiles chapters from Rumiko Takahashi's original serialization, maintaining the blend of action, romance, and supernatural drama that defines the series.
In "The Human Shield," Inuyasha faces a critical choice as Totosai prepares to mend the Tetsusaiga—knowing the weapon’s power to suppress his demonic nature may be lost forever. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru moves with cold precision, delivering Goshinki’s severed head to a new smith to forge a weapon from one of the fallen demon’s fangs. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Mari Morimoto, and Gerard Jones, with art and inks by Takahashi, this 2003 issue captures the escalating tension between brother and rival, with a cover by Takahashi and Yuki Ameda.
In the midst of a fierce clash, Kagura uses terrified villagers as a human shield to block Inuyasha’s Wind Scar, forcing him to hesitate. Meanwhile, Kanna stares in confusion as her mirror fails to capture Kagome’s soul, leaving her unsettled by the unexpected resistance.
In the quiet moments between battles, Mioga’s revelation shakes Inuyasha to his core—his beloved Tetsusaiga isn’t just a weapon, but a seal holding back his true nature. Now broken, the sword’s absence leaves Inuyasha vulnerable, and only Kagome’s presence seems to keep the darkness at bay.
In "The Ogre's Sword," Inuyasha faces a pivotal choice when Totosai agrees to repair the Tetsusaiga—though at a cost: the sword will no longer suppress Inuyasha’s demonic blood. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru seeks a new weapon, commissioning a blade forged from a fang of the slain Goshinki, setting both brothers on paths that test their identities and resolve.
