"The demon blade is called Bakusaiga!"
Tōtōsai's expression was solemn. As a Swordsmith, he had used a special method at Sesshomaru's birth to learn the name of the demon blade within him.
Miroku clearly knew this as well. He had followed Tōga for many years and had been present at the time.

Sesshomaru murmured. He could feel the thing within him surge with excitement when he spoke its name.
It seemed to want to burst out of his body, but could not, giving off pulses of helplessness.
"It can't break free..."

Even Fengxue of the White Tiger would ultimately fall a step short of Sesshomaru with his potential fully unleashed.
Once Sesshomaru understood all this, the anger in his heart finally subsided.
He no longer gave Tōtōsai any trouble. As for
