Moroha will negotiate with Root Head to pass through the rainbow corridor in "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" Episode 4. The new episode is titled "The Gateway to the Past."

The official preview trailer for "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" Episode 4 shows Moroha trying to convince Root Head to let them pass through the tunnel of time.

Moroha, Setsuna and Towa are looking for the Dream Butterfly in the feudal era. The trailer reveals that they will run into someone in the corridor. A mysterious woman welcomes the twin daughters of Sesshomaru, but she has a request for them.

In the previous "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" episode, Moroha, Setsuna and the centipede demon, Mistress Three Eyes, enter the present world through the rainbow corridor.

The Mistress Three Eyes reveals her plan to snatch the last remaining silver pearl from Towa. A battle ensues as Mistress Three Eyes attacks Towa. When Towa’s Kikujumonji sword breaks, she is able to use her pearl to create a demon energy blade.

Meanwhile, Towa is shocked to see her sister, Setsuna, but the latter cannot recognize her. She tells Setsuna that they got separated in the forest fire ten years ago.

However, Towa is unaware that Setsuna’s memories were wiped out after the forest fire incident. Moroha tells Towa, like Setsuna, she is also a half-demon being.

Moroha adds that Towa’s father is the great demon Sesshomaru. It seems like Towa doesn’t know who Sesshomaru is.

The episode shows a flashback sequence from 14 years ago. Kaede, the village elder priestess, reveals how Sesshomaru came and took his newborn twins with him.

In the present day, Setsuna wants Towa to prove that she is her older sister. However, Towa declines and announces that she is not wrong and has nothing to prove to her or Moroha.

Setsuna continues to provoke Towa after the former attacked her. Toward the end of the episode, it is revealed that Setsuna’s dreams were stolen by the Dream Butterfly.

The cast of the anime series includes Mikako Komatsu as Setsuna, Azusa Tadokoro as Moroha, Sara Matsumoto as Towa Higurashi, Takehiro Urao as Hisui, Ai Fairouz as Takechiyo, Ryohei Kimura as Kohaku, Cho as Jaken, Haruka Terui as Mei Higurashi, Eriko Matsui as Moe Higurashi, Hitomi Ueda as Gyokuto, Hisako Kyouda as Kaede, Junya Enoki as Sota Higurashi, Kappei Yamaguchi as InuYasha, Mamiko Noto as Rin and Makoto Yasumura as Miroku.
