NARAKU SPOILER!
NA
A shifting, parasitic collective of thousands of minor demons born from the corrupted, lustful soul of a crippled bandit named Onigumo. Naraku is the ultimate, unmitigated heel of the entire franchise—a master of psychological gaslighting, tragic identity theft, and elaborate multi-decade plots designed to turn loved ones against each other for his own amusement. Safely hidden away behind impenetrable miasma barriers while wearing a creepy baboon skin pelt, he handles fights by generating grotesque physical spawn to do his dirty work, effortlessly escaping in a cloud of purple smoke whenever the Z-Fighters get too close.

Miroku opened his Kazaana (Wind Tunnel) to absorb Naraku's demon army, but Naraku deployed Saimyosho, deadly poisonous hell wasps from the underworld.
The Breakdown
Knowing the venomous wasps would poison his bloodstream and kill him, Miroku pushed through excruciating pain to suck in the hive to protect Sango and Kagome, forcing Inuyasha to step in before the poison reached Miroku's heart.
Final Act Episodes 25–26 · Black Shikon Jewel Core · Total Victory

The Breakdown
Sesshomaru unleashed Bakusaiga to disintegrate Naraku's flesh barrier, preventing regeneration. Inuyasha struck with Meido Zangetsuha, tearing Naraku's body into the underworld while Kagome fired a sacred arrow through the heart of the Shikon Jewel, purifying Naraku's soul forever.
