Demon Wolf Tribe

Biodata

Power Progression

The tribe’s documented growth concerns its leadership, inherited powers, cultivation methods, and assembled fighting strength rather than a single shared cultivation realm.

Background / History

Former Greatness and Decline

The Demon Wolf Tribe once possessed great demons and strength comparable to the Dog Tribe. As later generations weakened and no true king remained to unite them, the race fragmented into countless branches across the demon world 1 20.

At Bluestone Mountain, Mingye’s father, Fengxue, had served as chief before dying in battle shortly after Kōga’s birth. The subsequent chief was only a little over four hundred years old, but accumulated injuries had severely weakened his body. The settlement depended on comparatively weak warriors and accompanying wolves, leaving it vulnerable to stronger demons 1 2 3.

Its decline also involved the loss of historical knowledge. Records concerning beings above Greater Yokai had disappeared, and the Western Country branches no longer remembered Ice Wolf Valley or its claim to be the ancestral home of the wolf race. When Ice Wolf representatives appeared, Akamaru had never heard of their purported royal lineage 54 59.

Mingye’s Succession and the Ancestral Trial

Mingye spent two years cultivating and eliminating demons within dozens of miles of Bluestone Mountain. He then defeated the chief in a brief duel, winning the tribespeople’s recognition and promising to restore their prosperity 3.

The former chief entrusted him with a map to the Demon Wolf Graveyard, where the Three-Headed Demon Wolf guarded the Five Thunder Finger. Mingye passed its trial through his unusual combination of demonic power, blood and vital energy, and martial force. The ancestors awarded him the artifact and placed their hopes for the tribe’s revival in him 3 6 7 8.

War Reaches Bluestone Mountain

Despite the branch’s neutrality, evil spirits serving the Leopard Cat Tribe attacked while Mingye was away. The former chief killed their concealed commander using Mingye’s Force-Energy Method and routed the horde. The victory cost five hundred demon wolves killed or wounded and several dozen tribesmen dead 9.

A subsequent Leopard Tribe force of around three thousand demanded submission to Michinaga. The tribe refused, choosing to defend its families rather than surrender. Mingye returned as battle began and destroyed the invaders with sword energy 18.

Michinaga retaliated by ordering the Leopard King to mobilize his entire tribe. Mingye and Chongli intercepted the eight-thousand-strong army before it reached Bluestone Mountain, killed the Leopard King, and annihilated the remaining troops. The fallen leopards supplied food and cultivation resources for the wolf tribe 19 22 23 24 25 26.

Gathering of the Branches

News of Mingye’s victories and acquisition of the Five Thunder Finger drew numerous branch tribes to Bluestone Mountain. Possession of the sacred artifact identified its wielder as the Demon Wolf Tribe’s king, giving Mingye a basis for uniting the scattered race 26.

Within three days, twenty thousand Demon Wolf Tribe members had gathered, with more still traveling from distant regions. Before leaving for the Dog Tribe base, Mingye appointed the Five Demon Wolves to defend the settlement and left the Thunder Rage Sword as a contingency against Greater Yokai 26.

By the time of the Ice Wolf confrontation, almost all the Western Country’s Demon Wolf branches had already gathered under Mingye. Wolves from the Eastern Country also traveled to the Bluestone Mountain range 56 60.

Alliance with the Dog Tribe

Mingye’s intervention in the Dog Tribe’s war and his defense of Dog Castle brought the two tribes into a formal alliance. Tōga announced that they would jointly govern the Western Country and granted half its territory to the Demon Wolf Tribe. The proclamation established the wolves as a powerful tribe whose enemies would also have to consider Tōga’s support 46 55 56.

At Bluestone Mountain, the Old Chief and the gathered wolves celebrated the news as the fulfillment of generations of hopes. Although several of the Five Demon Wolves wished they could have fought beside Mingye, Akamaru directed them to continue training and guarding the settlement 56.

Conflict with the Ice Wolf Royal Lineage

Discontented Western Country demons spread rumors that Mingye intended to become king of every wolf tribe in the Demon World. Unable to challenge him openly because of his alliance with Tōga, they sought to provoke conflict between wolf branches instead. The rumors reached Ice Wolf Valley in the Northern Country, whose ruling lineage treated Mingye’s rise as an affront to its ancestral authority 60 62.

Bing Jiling attacked Bluestone Mountain, shattered its Guardian Barrier, and demanded that its inhabitants submit and help capture Mingye. Akamaru refused. The tribe’s improved warriors and battle formations overwhelmed ordinary Ice Wolf troops, while the Five Demon Wolves fought the invading commanders. Akamaru was severely wounded by Bing Jiling and called upon the Thunder Rage Sword left behind by Mingye 59 60 63.

Bing Jiling’s Ice Wolf Ancestor Shadow imposed bloodline suppression on the defenders. Nevertheless, the tribe refused to surrender its Battle Formation Secret Art or abandon Mingye. Mingye returned in time to shield them, defeat Bing Jiling, and end the immediate attack. He praised the defenders’ growth and rewarded the Five Demon Wolves with complete cultivation methods 64 65 66.

Hyōrinmaru subsequently led nearly ten thousand Ice Wolf warriors toward Bluestone Mountain to avenge his younger brothers. The deaths of all three sons of the Ice Wolf Valley leader and the near-annihilation of their expeditionary forces forced Western Country demons to reassess the wolves’ strength 72 80.

The conflict escalated into an invasion by the Ice Wolf King and thirty thousand warriors. The Demon Wolf Army’s layered formations, supported by Chongli and the Five Demon Wolves, broke the invading army while Mingye overwhelmed its king. More than thirteen thousand Ice Wolf warriors were captured rather than killed, becoming laborers for the construction of Demon Wolf Castle 83 84 85.

War with the Northern Country

Mingye warned his commanders that Ice Wolf Valley was not their greatest opponent: the Northern Country’s White Tiger overlord, Fūzetsuga, represented the larger threat. The tribe continued cultivating, forging weapons, and practicing formations in preparation for war 81 82.

Fūzetsuga approached with seventy-one thousand yokai drawn from several tribes, including only one thousand White Tiger warriors. By then, the wolves could field one hundred thousand elite troops under the Five Demon Wolves, with additional defenders remaining at the castle. Mingye regarded the enemy coalition’s divided loyalties and inferior coordination as weaknesses 97.

The Northern Country’s powerful tribal chiefs recognized that the wolves’ rapid collective advancement implied a secret beyond Mingye’s individual talent. During the battle, the Demon Wolf Army maintained its position even under Fūzetsuga’s oppressive aura, linking its own auras together rather than retreating. Sesshomaru also intervened, acting to repay Mingye for previously saving his life 100 104.

The wolves won the war. Mingye praised the army, declared that the entire Western Country belonged to the Wolf Tribe, and warned that resisting tribes would share Fūzetsuga’s fate. The Five Demon Wolves and Chongli suffered serious injuries, but their victory established the tribe as a military power capable of rivaling an entire country. In the Northern Country, the defeat shattered the old order and left the surviving powerful tribes vulnerable to revenge 109 110.

Consolidation and Eastern Expansion

For the following year, the tribe refrained from outward expansion and concentrated on absorbing the Western Country’s resources. Its reputation became so fearsome that some yokai fled to the Eastern or Southern Countries to avoid becoming its food. The Five Demon Wolves and Chongli recovered and improved, while Mingye cultivated in seclusion toward his Greater Yokai transformation 112.

When Kir inmaru later challenged Mingye, the Wolf King took their battle away from Bluestone Mountain to protect the castle. Chongli and the Five Demon Wolves fought the Four Great Calamity Beasts and Roku within separate battlefields created by the castle barrier. Mingye returned with the defeated and frozen Kir inmaru to find the accompanying enemies already overcome, then ordered a three-day feast 115 117.

Afterward, Mingye visited the Demon Wolf Tomb to report the tribe’s success to its ancestors. At the entrance, he discovered that the two stone statues were cracked and that the ancestral spirits within them had vanished 117.

Mingye’s King of the Underworld clone subsequently returned to Demon Wolf Castle with Chongli. The tribespeople did not recognize that he was a clone; only Akamaru briefly sensed something unusual. The clone ordered the Five Demon Wolves to lead their armies into the Eastern Country and claim its resources, terrifying tribes that no longer had a Greater Yokai capable of checking the wolves 120.

Rule of the Four Great Demon Countries

After Mingye’s true body entered the Underworld, the King of the Underworld remained to guard and govern the tribe. He attacked White Tiger City alone, crushed its legion, and severely wounded the Snow Emperor. Guigu prevented the clan’s destruction by teleporting its surviving forces away through a prepared formation. The White Tiger clan then remained hidden for more than forty years 122.

Guigu also attempted to turn the Southern Country’s Phoenix Tribe against the wolves. His use of Yakan initially created hostility, but Emperor Yu’s investigation established that the Wolf Tribe was not responsible. Yakan was a forest-guarding wolf demon, not a member of the Demon Wolf lineage 119 122.

Emperor Yu eventually visited Demon Wolf Castle and negotiated with the King of the Underworld. After a fierce battle, she paid a price and secured an agreement: the Phoenix Tribe would be left alone, while the wolves could take resources from the Southern Country. This established the Wolf Tribe as the ruling power of all four great demon countries. Over the following decades, it continued absorbing their resources and strengthening its position 122.

Izayoi, Inuyasha, and the Later Human War

Before his death, Tōga arranged for Izayoi and Inuyasha to live under Mingye’s protection. Mingye brought them to Demon Wolf Castle and ordered the tribe to treat Izayoi as one of its own, expressly forbidding discrimination against her for being human. The tribespeople obeyed despite their initial puzzlement 85 86 96 97.

Inuyasha grew up safely at the castle before leaving to seek his own path. The King of the Underworld permitted his departure, believing that hardship and life-and-death struggles were necessary for growth, and also authorized Kōga to go out and gain experience. Chongli, who had helped care for Inuyasha, worried about the dangers facing him 122 125.

Kōga and Inuyasha initially traveled separately but reunited during the later upheaval involving humans. Both participated on the yokai side, and the King of the Underworld noted their improvement 138 139.

During that war, the White Tiger Legion, Leopard Cat Legion, and Demon Moth Legion appeared together and attacked the Wolf Tribe rather than the human army. The King of the Underworld, Sesshomaru, and other participating yokai reacted with anger, while the humans welcomed the division among their enemies. The immediate outcome of this intervention is not established in the provided account 140.

Organization & Membership

Leadership and Succession

• Combat-based succession: Chiefs are chosen through strength, not inheritance. Although Mingye was a former chief’s son, he had to defeat the strongest living member to claim the position 2 3.
• Race-wide recognition: Obtaining the Five Thunder Finger marks its wielder as king of the Demon Wolf Tribe, extending recognition beyond an individual branch 26.
• Restricted teachings: Ordinary members receive simplified cultivation methods. Complete versions are reserved for the chief, exceptionally talented members, and those who make major contributions 21.
• Former chief’s continued service: After stepping down, the old chief continues defending the settlement, distributing Mingye’s teachings, and calming the population during attacks 9 21 22.
• Merit-based rewards: Chongli receives complete methods after protecting Dog Castle. The Five Demon Wolves receive the complete Blood Energy Method and Breathing Method after defending Bluestone Mountain against the Ice Wolves 66.
• Loyalty to Mingye: Bluestone Mountain’s wolves reject the Ice Wolf Royal Lineage’s demands and recognize Mingye as their only king, even when faced with ancestral bloodline suppression and threatened extermination 60 65.
• Government through the King of the Underworld: Mingye leaves his clone to protect the tribe while his true body enters the Underworld. The clone continues commanding its armies, confronting rival powers, and directing affairs from Demon Wolf Castle 120 122.

Notable Members and Retainers

Demon Wolf Army

• Five-army command: The Five Demon Wolves each command an army. Together, these armies contain one hundred thousand elite troops by the time Fūzetsuga approaches the Western Country 97.
• Separate castle defenders: Additional soldiers remain to guard Demon Wolf Castle; the hundred thousand elite troops do not represent the tribe’s entire military population 97.
• Shared training: Warriors practice Mingye’s cultivation methods and Akamaru’s formations, giving them coordination that contrasts with the competing tribal interests within the Northern Country coalition 60 97.
• Battlefield spearheads: Chongli and the Five Demon Wolves personally break enemy formations, allowing the army’s smaller formations to encircle and destroy disorganized opponents 83.
• Discipline: By the victory over Fūzetsuga, the army acts and halts in orderly obedience to Mingye’s commands 109.
• Captive labor: More than thirteen thousand captured Ice Wolf warriors are enslaved and assigned to build Demon Wolf Castle 84 85.

Territory & Sacred Grounds

• Bluestone Mountain: The principal settlement shown in the story. Initially composed entirely of caves, it has neither houses nor city walls. Its inhabitants wear animal-pelt clothing 1 4.
• Demon Wolf Castle: Realizes Mingye’s early intention to build a vast city for the united tribe. Construction proceeds rapidly under more than thirteen thousand Ice Wolf prisoners, and the city becomes the tribe’s capital and military center on Bluestone Mountain 4 85 97.
• Cultivation cliff: Mingye’s customary cultivation site overlooks Demon Wolf Castle. During his year-long transformation toward Greater Yokai, it becomes effectively forbidden ground that no one is permitted to approach 97 112.
• Western Country: Tōga initially grants the tribe half the country under their alliance. After defeating Fūzetsuga’s invasion, Mingye declares that the entire Western Country belongs to the Wolf Tribe 55 56 109.
• Eastern Country: Targeted by the Five Armies after Kir inmaru’s defeat leaves it without a Greater Yokai capable of checking the wolves. Its tribes fear extermination and avoid openly resisting 120.
• Northern Country: Contains Ice Wolf Valley, the ancestral homeland revealed during the royal-lineage conflict, and White Tiger City, later attacked by the King of the Underworld. The White Tiger survivors escape into hiding 62 122.
• Southern Country: Its resources become accessible to the Wolf Tribe through an agreement with Emperor Yu. The Phoenix Tribe retains its separate existence and protection from Wolf Tribe interference 119 122.
• Demon Wolf Graveyard: A mist-covered ancestral valley, also called the tribe’s burial grounds. Wolf tribe members can follow guidance felt within their souls to navigate it; other demons lose their bearings 5 6.
• Ancestral guardian: The Three-Headed Demon Wolf is formed from countless ancestors’ souls and bonded to the burial grounds. Destroying its physical body does not prevent it from reforming 6 7.
• Cracked ancestral statues: On his later visit to the Demon Wolf Tomb, Mingye finds cracks in the two entrance statues and discovers that the ancestral spirits within them have disappeared. The discovery does not by itself establish the fate of every spirit in the burial grounds 117.
• Protected knowledge: The sacred weapon’s location is traditionally known only to chiefs. Mingye memorizes the route and burns his map to preserve the secret 3 4.

Abilities & Skills

Wolf Senses and Pack Warfare

• Members possess a keen sense of smell useful for recognizing arrivals and detecting danger 2.
• Tribesmen fight alongside thousands of demon wolves, directing them in mass charges before following with weapons drawn 9 18.
• The accompanying wolves initially possess only slightly more spiritual awareness than ordinary wolves and are not individually formidable 1.
• The tribe is not traditionally distinguished by exceptional physical strength. Tōga treats Mingye’s powerful body at his young age as unusual rather than an ordinary racial trait 30.
• Later warriors display markedly improved individual strength, ferocity, and coordination as a result of shared cultivation, battle experience, and formation training 60 81 83.

Cultivation Arts

Mingye’s teachings make systematic strengthening a foundation of the tribe’s revival 21.

• Demon Power Breathing Method: One of the fundamental methods behind Mingye’s rapid increase in demonic power 21.
• Qi and Blood Circulation Method: Strengthens blood and vital energy alongside demonic power 7 21.
• Force-Energy Method: Used by the former chief to kill the evil-spirit commander; its effectiveness requires demanding control that he has not fully mastered 9.
• Resource requirements: Training requires abundant food and herbs. Mingye warns that obtaining sufficient supplies may force the tribe into deadly conflicts with other demons 21.
• Recovery potential: A breakthrough in demonic power could heal the former chief’s internal injuries and extend his life; this is presented as a possibility, not a confirmed recovery 21.
• Complete methods: The Five Demon Wolves initially practice lesser versions before receiving the complete Blood Energy Method and Breathing Method as rewards for defending the settlement 66.
• War-supported cultivation: Victories supply yokai flesh that nourishes further advancement. By the period of the Ice Wolf wars, the tribe explicitly sustains its growth through successive wars and the resources taken from defeated enemies 82.
• Long-term foundations: During periods without outward expansion, the tribe continues strengthening through the resources of its existing territories. After establishing four-country supremacy, it follows this pattern for decades 112 122.

Elemental Powers

• Mingye possesses ice demonic power, while Kōga has an affinity for wind 1.
• The Five Demon Wolves collectively wield wind, fire, earth, lightning, and water. Mingye’s secret arts deepen their access to these innate powers 26.
• Akamaru uses flame against Bing Jiling’s ice, while Raiga uses lightning to defeat an Ice Wolf squad captain 63.
• Elemental ability varies between individuals; the tribe is not shown possessing one universal elemental affinity 1 26.
• The Ice Wolf Royal Lineage regards ice power as a royal bloodline trait and is shocked by the purity of Mingye’s ice power. Mingye’s existence contradicts its assumption that descendants of the exiled branches cannot possess such power 61.

Battle Formation Secret Art

• Developed by Akamaru after Mingye distributes his cultivation methods 60.
• Links participating warriors’ auras and allows them to increase their strength through coordinated use of the secret methods 60.
• Uses five wolves as the basic small formation; these formations overlap into a larger encircling network capable of surrounding and slaughtering an enemy army 83.
• Proves effective against the Ice Wolf armies, demonstrating that the tribe’s military rise extends beyond Mingye’s personal strength 60 83 84.
• Becomes valuable enough that Bing Jiling demands its surrender along with the tribe’s submission 65.
• Allows the army to maintain a united front under the oppressive presence of a Greater Yokai, although the soldiers’ auras do not by themselves eliminate the disparity in individual power 100.

Royal-Lineage Powers and Limitations

• The Ice Wolf Royal Lineage traces its origin to Northern Country Ice Wolf Valley and identifies the Eastern and Western Country wolves as descendants of exiled branches 59 60 62.
• Its members can return to enormous white-wolf forms that increase their physical strength, speed, and demonic power. The Western Country’s Demon Wolf Tribe members are expressly described as unable to undergo that transformation 61.
• A royal-lineage fighter regenerates a severed arm, a feat distinguished from the capabilities of ordinary demons 61.
• Ice Wolf Ancestor Shadow: A forbidden royal technique that consumes bloodline power to summon a trace of the Ice Wolf Ancestor Demon’s shadow 62 64.
• The ancestor shadow exerts suppression reaching back to the ordinary wolves’ bloodline origins. Neither the Five Demon Wolves nor the other defenders of Bluestone Mountain can overcome it through demonic control and willpower at that time 64 65.
• These royal techniques are not shown becoming general abilities of the united Demon Wolf Tribe 61 62 64.

Guardian Barrier

• Acquired from the Hundred Demon Bats after Mingye destroys their tribe and extracts the Barrier Secret Art from Tsukiyomaru 13 14.
• Generated through Blood Jade Coral placed within Bluestone Mountain and supplied with demonic power 21.
• Requires a specific activation method and substantial demonic reserves to sustain 21.
• Usually remains concealed rather than fully deployed while Mingye is present; it rises during an approaching attack to prevent a diversion followed by a raid 22.
• Together with the Five Demon Wolves, it is initially considered sufficient to secure Bluestone Mountain against attackers below the Greater Yokai level. The later Ice Wolf attack demonstrates that this protection is not absolute, as the invaders shatter it 26 59 60.
• Remains in use afterward: Akamaru activates it to protect the tribespeople from the dangerous heartbeat accompanying Mingye’s transformation 113.
• The castle barrier can divide an enemy force into separate small battlefields, as demonstrated against the Four Great Calamity Beasts and Roku 115.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Five Thunder Finger: Sacred claw-shaped artifact formed from ancestral soul power and originating in the Underworld. It unleashes golden lightning and can kill demons of both the living world and Underworld, but cannot resurrect the dead 8.
• Thunder Rage Sword: Forged by melting down the Five Thunder Finger. Mingye later leaves it at Bluestone Mountain; he can sense its use and return quickly if a Greater Yokai attacks. Akamaru summons it by hand seal against Bing Jiling. After returning, Mingye commissions further improvement using the Netherworld Stone 21 26 63 66.
• Blood Jade Coral: The medium used to generate the Guardian Barrier. Mingye also promises to preserve its refining method for the tribe 21.
• Three secret-art scrolls: Contain the Barrier Secret Art, Qi and Blood Circulation Method, and Breathing Method; entrusted to the former chief for transmission 21.
• Demon flesh: Collected after victories as food and cultivation material. The defeated leopards’ flesh retains spiritual energy that members can absorb through Mingye’s methods. Later victories over the Ice Wolves and Northern Country coalition provide further substantial supplies 18 25 26 82 109.
• Sword-Forging Pool: Hairinbō’s facility at Bluestone Mountain. Captured Ice Wolf leaders are taken there as materials for reforging Mingye’s demonic swords 66.
• Army weapons: Hairinbō continuously forges demonic weapons for the Demon Wolf Army, supporting its collective growth in strength 82.
• Tiger Soul: Demon blade later wielded by Kōga during his travels and the upheaval preceding the war against humans 138.
• Chongli’s staffs: Chongli initially obtains a heavy Bone Club after requesting a weapon from Tōtōsai. He later fights the Four Great Calamity Beasts with the Ruyi Jingu Bang 55 56 66 115.

External Relationships

• Dog Tribe / Tōga — Initially respects the wolf tribe’s neutrality. Tōga later seeks Mingye’s support against the Leopard Cat Tribe, and Mingye accepts an invitation to visit the Dog Tribe base. His subsequent defense of Dog Castle preserves the castle and allows Inuyasha’s safe birth. Tōga formalizes an alliance, grants the wolves half the Western Country, and later entrusts Izayoi and Inuyasha to Mingye’s protection 9 20 25 46 55 56 85 86.
• Sesshomaru — A rival of Mingye despite the intertribal alliance. Mingye’s defeat of him adds to the wolves’ reputation, but Sesshomaru later aids the tribe against the Northern Country coalition to repay a personal debt for his life. He also reacts angrily when rival yokai legions attack the wolves during the human war 80 104 140.
• Leopard Cat Tribe / Michinaga — Attempts to compel submission and then orders the Bluestone Mountain branch’s destruction. Repeated defeats make Mingye and the tribe an obstacle to Michinaga’s conquest of the Western Country. A Leopard Cat Legion later joins the White Tiger and Demon Moth Legions in attacking the wolves during the human war 9 18 19 140.
• Leopard Tribe / Leopard King — Serves Michinaga and attacks the wolves twice. Its expeditionary force and later eight-thousand-strong army are destroyed by Mingye and his allies 18 19 25.
• Hundred Demon Bats — Exterminated by Mingye to obtain their barrier technology for the wolf tribe’s protection 13 14 21.
• Ice Wolf Royal Lineage / Ice Wolf Valley — Claims to be the ancestral and royal lineage of all Demon Wolves and treats the Eastern and Western Country branches as exiles. Its attempts to force submission lead to repeated wars, the deaths of its ruling family’s sons, the defeat of its king, and its eventual destruction as an independent Northern Country power 59 60 62 80 84 110.
• White Tiger Tribe / Fūzetsuga, Snow Emperor, and Guigu — Regards the wolves’ rise as an obstacle to Northern Country expansion. Fūzetsuga’s coalition is defeated; the King of the Underworld later crushes the White Tiger Legion and severely wounds the Snow Emperor, but Guigu evacuates the survivors into hiding. The White Tiger Legion eventually reappears to attack the wolves during the human war 87 97 109 110 122 140.
• Snow Leopard, Snow Monster, Ice Demon, and Ice Bear Tribes — Powerful Northern Country tribes compelled into Fūzetsuga’s invasion. Their leaders also covet the secret behind the wolves’ rapid collective growth. Defeat leaves their surviving home-country remnants exposed to retaliation by former victims 100 110.
• Kir inmaru and his followers — Mingye defeats the Eastern Country overlord while Chongli and the Five Demon Wolves overcome the Four Great Calamity Beasts and Roku. The removal of the Eastern Country’s Greater Yokai enables the wolves’ subsequent expansion there 115 117 120.
• Phoenix Tribe / Emperor Yu — Initially refuses Guigu’s proposed anti-wolf alliance and expresses no interest in defending Southern Country territory beyond its own home. After a false-flag scheme is exposed, Emperor Yu reaches an agreement preserving the Phoenix Tribe’s autonomy while allowing the Wolf Tribe access to Southern Country resources 119 122.
• Moth Demon Tribe / Menomaru — Avoids challenging the wolves during their Eastern expansion. A Demon Moth Legion later participates in the coordinated attack on the Wolf Tribe during the war against humans 120 140.
• Humans — Mingye shelters Izayoi and prohibits discrimination against her within the tribe, but this protection does not amount to general peace with humanity. Kōga and Inuyasha later fight human opponents during the larger war led on the yokai side by the King of the Underworld 97 138 139 140.
