InuYasha: Kuroi Tessaiga
犬夜叉 黒い鉄砕牙
Synopsis
Sesshoumaru has long felt resentment toward his half-brother Inuyasha for inheriting their father's legendary Tessaiga, while he himself was left with the healing blade Tenseiga. This bitterness deepens when he discovers that the single destructive ability of Tenseiga, which he has already mastered, was originally intended to be part of Tessaiga, reinforcing his belief that he was cast aside in favor of what he views as an inferior half-breed. Seizing on Sesshoumaru's anger, Naraku, Inuyasha's main adversary, offers him a way to claim Tessaiga's power. As the two brothers clash in a battle that could either expose Naraku's treacherous plot and earn Inuyasha his brother's respect or lead to a deadly confrontation with his own sibling, the stakes of their struggle rise to a dangerous level.
