In the popular
anime and
manga series
InuYasha, the
Blade of
Heaven and Earth is a
halberd forged by
Kaijinbo from 222 demons. In the English dub of the
series, the weapon is also known as the
Naginata of
Kenkon.
The weapon was wielded by the yōkai ninja
Hoshiyomi, who had commissioned the blade in order to protect his
lover, the priestess Tsukiyomi. The weapon itself is forced of many
many yōkai so that it possesses a demonic aura of its own, enough
to possess Hoshiyomi.
Fearing that Hoshiyomi would destroy all
that they had fought for under the blade's possession, Tsukiyomi
sealed him away with the intention of fearing him after dealing the
the weapon. Unable to destroy it, she broke the weapon into two
parts: the Ken blade, placed under the protection of the
Hōjō family on Mount
Fuji, and the Kon blade, which was sealed in Hakurei-Zan. Tsukiyomi
died shortly afterwards, unable to free Hoshiyomi. Hoshiyomi would
return decades later to reclaim the two blades and seek revenge for
Tsukiyomi's supposed betrayal.
The blade is eventually
destroyed, along with its demonic wielder, when the powers of
Tessaiga's
Bakuryuha and
Kagome's
Hama no Ya (sacred arrow) combined to combat
it.
