InuYasha states that Banryu has the same aura as Sesshoumaru 's Toukijin. Bankotsu says:. Bankotsu, thinking that he had won because of his new, improved Banryuu that was a lot more powerful, twirled it around making a huge amount of ki and fired it at InuYasha , unknown that InuYasha could unleash a Bakuryuuha attack.

InuYasha , of course, used Bakuryuuha and blasted the whole thing back at Bankotsu who tried to deflect it with his Banryuu but was unsuccessful in doing so. Banryuu shattered and fried in the heat as well as the lower half of Bankotsu's body.

His upper half survived because he still had Shikon jewel shards in his left wrist. Bankotsu, at the brink of death, is confused as to why InuYasha didn't die. InuYasha explains that he was too greedy for power. Suddenly the walls of Mt. Hakurei turn into flesh and Bankotsu's body becomes engulfed in tentacles. Naraku turns into a full demon and the Shichinin-tai become extinct forever.

Bankotsu says: I was not born a demon. I was not blessed with the powers of the divine. That's where I placed my wish in my Banryu.
