Summary Sesshoumaru rationalizes his failure after he teamed up with Naraku
He should have known better. Borrowing a jewel shard and a human arm from a man in baboon pelt. Who runs around giving away such things without an ulterior motive?
Nothing went right. Although the arm allowed him to seize Tessaiga no one had alerted him to the fact that it was detachable or that it would spontaneiously combust. Not what you expect from human arm.
He was lucky to rip the arm and its jewel shard off his body before he was burned to a crisp. This Narakau had tried to kill him in order in ensure that the jewel shard was returned to him.
The arm was useless. Without he would never be able to Tessaiga. He had a bone to pick with Tessaiga. Sesshoumaru did not like being played for a sucker.
Even Jaken had seen that Naraku was a crook He thought he was smarter. Naraku wanted him to kill Inuyasha. He wanted to kill Inuyasha. If he killed Inuyasha they would both end up ahead.
Thinking only of himself, it had never occurred to him that Naraku would try to kill him with the arm after he killed Inuyasha. Now the arm and the Jewel were gone Without the arm and the Jewel he could never use Tessaiga.
What had he learned from this fiasco?
to trust hanyous in baboon pelts offering human arms. No, He had never trusted Narkau. Somehow he thought that he would take what Naraku offered to accomplish his goal. Instead, what Naraku offered almost cost him his life.
2. That Jaken was right about Naraku and he should listen to him next time? Ridiculous.
3. That he should have simply used the windscar to kill Inuyaha instead of demonstrating it first.?
How would Inuyasha know how great he was before he died if he had done that?
4. That maybe he did get distracted when he used the windscar to destroy the dead oni and attack the miko, but they did deserve to die since they interfered with his fight with Inuyasha.
5. That next time he would simply take Inuyasha's head off If he did that Inuyasha would not suffer as he should for taking Tessaiga and cutting off his arm.
In the end he concluded that his plan was perfect. Everything that went wrong was simply dumb luck.
