Ep 1. Naraku's Heart

Inuyasha - The Final Act is the long-awaited sequel to the original anime series, continuing the storyline from where it left off. The first episode of season 1 is called "Naraku's Heart".

After the defeat of Naraku, Inuyasha and his friends continue their journey to collect the remaining shards of the Shikon Jewel. Kagome, who has been living in the modern world, returns to the feudal era to help her friends in their quest. Along the way, they encounter various monsters and enemies, including Naraku's incarnations and other demons.

In this episode, the group receives a message from Kikyo, the priestess who once loved Inuyasha. She tells them that Naraku's heart is the key to his ultimate defeat, and instructs them on how to find it. However, they are not the only ones searching for it. A new enemy appears, claiming to be a demon hunter named Magatsuhi. He is after Naraku's heart as well, but for different reasons.

The group splits up to search for the heart, with Inuyasha and Kagome going in one direction and the others in another. Along the way, they encounter obstacles and have to fight off demons. Inuyasha and Kagome face off against Magatsuhi, who reveals that he is actually an incarnation of Naraku's heart. He possesses Kagome and uses her body to attack Inuyasha, who is unable to fight back.

Meanwhile, the others continue their search and come across a village that has been heavily damaged by demons. They meet the leader of the village, Totosai, who informs them that Naraku's heart has the power to control other demons. The village was attacked by demons under Naraku's control, and Totosai fears that others will suffer the same fate if they do not stop Naraku.

Back with Inuyasha and Kagome, Magatsuhi seems to have the upper hand. He boasts about how he has taken control of Kagome's body and uses her powers to create illusions and attack Inuyasha. However, Kagome's love for Inuyasha breaks through the illusion and frees her from Magatsuhi's control. Inuyasha is able to defeat Magatsuhi and destroy Naraku's heart.

The episode ends with the group reuniting and discussing their next steps. They know that Naraku will not give up his quest for power so easily, and that they will continue to face challenges on their journey. However, they are determined to see it through to the end and protect the people of the feudal era.

Overall, "Naraku's Heart" sets the stage for the rest of the season. It introduces new enemies and challenges, while also resolving a major storyline from the original series. Fans of Inuyasha will enjoy seeing their favorite characters back in action as they continue their quest for the Shikon Jewel.
