Kagome shattered Shikon no Tama with her arrow in chapter five, roughly eleven years ago. She, Inuyasha, Sango, Kirara, Miroku, and Shippou have been searching for its fragments for more than five hundred chapters. =O

Now it's whole again!
That's a page from the latest chapter of Inuyasha. In it, Naraku has Shikon no Tama under his control and will use it to buff himself for (hopefully) his final confrontation with Inu-ikkou and Sesshoumaru-sama!
I've mistaken many chapters for immediate precursors to the final battle between Naraku and Inu-ikkou, and the dissolution of Shikon no Tama, but this chapter really stands out; Kohaku finally lost his shard, and Kagome actually advanced to a new grade.
This is a thread about Inuyasha manga. Keh!
