8 Interesting Facts About Naraku in the Anime 'INUYASHA': A Villain Born from the Hatred of a Special Needs Bandit

Naraku originates from a human named Onigumo, a bandit who was severely injured and harbored a desire for Kikyo. Onigumo, who had physical disabilities, offered his body to a demon, which then united and formed Naraku. His existence symbolizes hatred and lust that transcends boundaries.

Naraku has a complicated relationship with Kikyo. Although Onigumo initially loved Kikyo, that feeling turned into a destructive obsession. He even devised a scenario to destroy Kikyo and Inuyasha's relationship in order to possess her, even though he knew it was impossible.

Naraku is known as a master manipulator. He often exploits the weaknesses of others to achieve his goals. From tearing apart Kikyo and Inuyasha to using Kohaku against Sango, his cunning plans always make it difficult for his enemies.

Naraku is nearly indestructible because his body is made up of many united demons. In addition, he has regenerative abilities that make him hard to kill. This power makes him a very formidable enemy for Inuyasha and his friends.

Naraku is very obsessed with the Shikon no Tama, a sacred jewel that can grant the wishes of its owner. He desires the jewel to become a perfect and invincible being, although this ambition ultimately accelerates his destruction.

Naraku creates many "descendants" from his body to serve him, such as Kagura and Kanna. Although created to serve him, some of them, like Kagura, rebel and desire freedom from Naraku's control.

Naraku is the one who cursed Miroku's family with the Wind Tunnel technique. This curse becomes a heavy burden for Miroku, as every generation of his family must live with the threat of death from the wind tunnel.

Although he seems invincible, Naraku is ultimately defeated by the cooperation of Inuyasha and Kagome. In the final battle, Naraku is defeated when Kagome uses the power of the Shikon no Tama to end his evil ambitions. His destruction becomes a symbol of the victory of good over evil.
