NAME OF ITEM Hiraikotsu
ORIGIN OF ITEM Created from the bones of numerous demons by the forger of the Demon Exterminators.
DESCRIPTION An enormous boomerang that is taller than Sango.
WHAT DOES IT DO? Sango hurls her Hiraikotsu at demons and splits them in half with the force of the weapon.
IMPLICATIONS Sango's primary weapon is the Hiraikotsu. The blade is damaged in her fight against the Coyote Demon, and again later when she faces a family of Bone Demons. In this encounter the boomerang is thought to be beyond repair, but Sango is able to come in contact with the demons that Hiraikotsu was created from. She strikes a bargain with them and thus Hiraikotsu is recreated with the ability to disperse a powerful poison.
