- Takemaru: The night of a lunar eclipse. Excellent. It is the perfect time to slay a demon.
- [Goes to Izayoi]
- Izayoi: Who is it?
- Takemaru: It is I, Takemaru of Setsuna.
- Izayoi: Takemaru... oh, thank goodness you've arrived. You must gather the men standing guard outside and leave the grounds at once. Please do as I say. I fear there is no one strong enough to challenge him.
- Takemaru: My lady... I have long felt a deep connection with you, as I'm sure you are aware. Even though I realize full well that your heart has been captured by a demon.
- [Izayoi screams in pain as Takemaru fatally stabs her]
- Takemaru: My feelings for you will never change, my lady.
- Inuyasha's Father: Izayoi! Izayoi!
- Takemaru: At last you've come, demon. A little late though.
- Inuyasha's Father: What?
- Takemaru: Lady Izayoi is beyond your reach now. I've dispatched her myself.
- Inuyasha's Father: Damn you, fool!
- Inuyasha: Don't you trust me?
- Kagome Higurashi: Sure, I trust you! I just don't want you running off by yourself again!
- Takemaru: I have no regrets about fighting you to the death. Let us journey together into the netherworld.
- Inuyasha's Father: Live long!
- Izayoi: My dearest!
- Inuyasha's Father: Inuyasha...
- Takemaru: What is that?
- Inuyasha's Father: The infant's name... the child shall be called Inuyasha.
- Izayoi: Inuyasha...
- Inuyasha's Father: [Getting ready to attack Takemaru and turns to Izayoi] Now GO!
- Izayoi: Yes.
- [Izayoi runs out of the palace as it collapses completely, killing both InuTaisho and Takemaru]
- Inuyasha's Father: [Voiceover] Izayoi, you must survive. Live a long life. Live long and well with Inuyasha.
- [Izayoi looks at the newborn InuYasha in her arms, who is still crying. The opening credits begin]
- Sesshomaru: Are you going, father?
- Inutaisho: Are you going to stop me, Sesshomaru?
- Sesshomaru: I am not going to stop you. However, before that, I would like the fangs Sou'unga and Tetsuseiga to be handed over to me.
- Inutaisho: If I say I won't give them to you... would you kill your own father?
- [Sesshomaru is silent]
- Inutaisho: Do you desire power that much? Why do you seek power?
- Sesshomaru: I must travel the path of conquest... power is necessary in order to walk that path.
- Inutaisho: Conquest, huh? Sesshomaru, is there something you want to protect?
- Sesshomaru: Something to protect? I have no need to pursue such an endeavor.
- [Sesshomaru raises his hand to attack, but Inutaisho transform into his demon form and runs off]
- Sesshomaru: Father, do you insist on going?
- Inuyasha's Father: Do you intend to stop me, Sesshomaru?
- Sesshomaru: I will not stand in your way. However, before you go, you must entrust the swords Sounga and Tetsuseiga to ME.
- Inuyasha's Father: And if I refuse, will you kill me, your own father?
- [Sesshomaru is silent]
- Inuyasha's Father: Do you desire power so much? Why do you seek power, my son?
- Sesshomaru: The path I walk is the way of supreme conquest, and it is power that will reveal the way for me.
- Inuyasha's Father: Supreme conquest... tell me, Sesshomaru, have you someone to protect?
- Sesshomaru: Protect?
- [Long pause]
- Sesshomaru: The answer is no. I, Sesshomaru, have no need of such.
- Myoga: Please, master, I beg you not to be so rash! You must reconsider, my lord. The wounds from your battle with Ryokotssei have not yet healed! This is sheer madness!
- Inuyasha's Father: That doesn't matter, I cannot afford to lose her!
- Myoga: Please my lord...
- Inuyasha's Father: Besides, I'm not long for this world.
- Myoga: Master!
- Sesshomaru: That left arm...
- Takemaru: Oh, that's right. It used to be yours. You want it back, I suppose?
- Sesshomaru: No thanks.
