MIROKU
MI
A smooth-talking, deceptively spiritual Buddhist monk who travels the countryside performing holy exorcisms (and scamming wealthy villagers out of free lodging). Miroku harbors a terrifying, generational curse inflicted by Naraku: a literal black hole torn into the palm of his right hand called the Wind Tunnel (Kazaana). Capable of violently vacuuming up entire swarms of demons, the tunnel expands over time and will eventually consume him entirely. Driven by this existential ticking clock, he spends 50% of his time hunting the villain and the other 50% hitting on every woman he meets with his iconic, unblushing pickup line: "Would you please bear my child?"

Miroku opened his Kazaana (Wind Tunnel) to absorb Naraku's demon army, but Naraku deployed Saimyosho, deadly poisonous hell wasps from the underworld.
The Breakdown
Knowing the venomous wasps would poison his bloodstream and kill him, Miroku pushed through excruciating pain to suck in the hive to protect Sango and Kagome, forcing Inuyasha to step in before the poison reached Miroku's heart.
