Description:

The demon-slayers' village turns out to be the source of the Sacred Jewel, the key to this adventure series. With some help from Sango, Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and their friends are able to enter a vast cavern and learn how the Jewel was created long ago in a battle between hordes of monstrous demons and Midoriko, the greatest priestess of the age. The Shikon, or Jewel of the Four Souls, embodies the qualities of courage, friendship, wisdom, and love. When they function together, harmony and happiness are the result. But the Jewel is also a miniature battleground between good and evil: a metaphor for the world--and for Inu-Yasha's heart, as he vacillates between selfishness and kindness. To his credit, director Masashi Ikeda presents all this information without losing the tempo of the story's ongoing comedy and adventure. (Rated: 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity) --Charles Solomon
