The band of seven part one

First, I have an excuse for not posting in six days, I was sick, really sick.  This post is about the band of seven from Inuyasha.  These people are a group of wonderful humans that are nice and wonderful.  They killed for fun.  Each of them has a weapon/power/ability but first, I’ll introduce them.  Bankotsu is the leader,  then there’s Renkotsu, Ginkotsu, Suikotsu, Mukotsu, Jakotsu and Kyokotsu.  I’m sure you noticed all of their names end in the sound “kotsu” (cote-soo), that translates to “skill”.  The band of seven had no preference for who they killed, it was completely random however they did go after the people that bothered them first.  The band of seven were eventually caught and beheaded.  They were brought back to life by Naraku with the help of one sacred jewel shard each.   Also, this post will be in  seven parts, one post per member of the group.  Enjoy!

Let’s start with the leader: Bankotsu!

  

I have two pictures of Bankotsu. The second one is just to show you Banryu, his weapon, and how big it is.  When he went back to the palace to retrieve it (the palace people that cut off his head took it) he picked it up without trouble with one hand while the guards murmur to eachother: “it took three of our strongest men just to drag it in here and he can lift it in one hand without trouble.”  Bankotsu then killed them!   Bankotsu is the leader even though he is the youngest of the group at only seventeen years old.  His name translates to “Barbaric/Brute Skill.”  There isn’t much more to say about Bankotsu so I shall leave now, but look forward to more of the band of seven!
