faceless Muso
Muso(無双, Musō) is separated from Naraku in an attempt to remove his human core, Onigumo, and thus also Onigumo's love for Kikyo. He is the sixth detachment of Naraku. Naraku cares so little for this incarnation that he gives it no name or face; Muso takes both of those for himself from a wandering monk that he kills. Muso ventures to Kikyo's former village, where he runs into InuYasha's group and battles them quickly after their encounter. Soon Naraku quickly realizes, however, that he cannot abandon Onigumo when demons try to gain their freedom from his body, and Muso is absorbed back into Naraku.

In the manga Muso instantly attacks Naraku and is absorbed almost immediately. The anime goes into further detail with the encounter. Naraku tells Muso that Kikyo is alive again and she is as he remembers her. Before he can question Naraku about Kikyo InuYasha and Miroku appear. As InuYasha starts a fight with Naraku, Muso runs away. Still angry at Naraku for his imprisonment he decides to go back to kill Naraku. He stabs Naraku in chest however doing this allows Naraku to reabsorb him. Naraku reveals that he still needed Onigumo's heart as a connector for his body, which why he needed to reabsorb him.
