"Inuyasha" is a hugely popular manga and anime. It has been loved for such a long time that it's probably a work that "everyone knows!" It's full of intriguing elements, from quietly watching over Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship to keeping you on the edge of your seat as intense battles unfold. "Inuyasha" has also been adapted into a stage play, and has become a hot topic, but did you know that an anime sequel is actually scheduled to air in the fall of 2020? It's called "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon," and the surprising tagline is, "Sesshomaru has a daughter." We can't wait for it to air, but what exactly is the story about? This article will introduce the synopsis and give some spoilers.
"Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" Synopsis ①
Let's start with a brief synopsis. It's the Sengoku period. Twin girls Towa and Setsuna were caught in a forest fire when they were young. They were separated, but Towa ended up passing through a tunnel that transcends time and space in the Tree of Eras, and somehow time-traveled from her Sengoku period home to the present day! There, Towa was raised as the daughter of the Higurashi family, which has ties to Higurashi Kagome, the heroine of "Inuyasha." As a result, she grew up to be a brawling middle school girl skilled in martial arts.
What will happen to Setsuna?
So, what happened to Setsuna, the other twin? She was left behind in the Sengoku period and worked as a monster hunter under Kohaku, the head of a monster extermination company.
Who is Moroha?
Another girl who appears here is "Moroha." At the age of 14, Moroha works as a bounty hunter, exterminating monsters. She earns money by selling the heads, fangs, and bodies of the monsters she exterminates to Shikiya Jubei. Her nickname is "Moroha the Monster Killer." Having lived alone since she was a child, she knows very little about her parents.
"Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" Synopsis Part 2
Ten years have passed since the twins Towa and Setsuna were separated. At this time, the time-traveling tunnel of the Era Tree re-opened. This is where Setsuna and Moroha traveled back in time to the present day. Finally, the twins Towa and Setsuna were reunited, but Setsuna had forgotten about Towa.
Why Did She Forget?
Why did Setsuna forget about Towa? While the exact reason for this is unknown, it appears to be the "Dream Butterfly." The "Dream Butterfly" has robbed Setsuna of not only her memories but also her sleep. What will happen to the three characters from here? The "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" girls run wild as they traverse the Sengoku period and the present day!
Spoiler alert: Who are Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha's daughters?
The catchphrase for the anime "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" is, "Sesshomaru has a daughter." As the phrase suggests, Sesshomaru does have a daughter, and that daughter will appear in the story. Sesshomaru is a very popular character in the "Inuyasha" series, so this may have surprised many people.
Sesshomaru's daughters are Towa and Setsuna
As many of you may know, Sesshomaru's daughters are Towa and Setsuna. They are twin girls born during the Sengoku period. Incidentally, since Sesshomaru married Rin, these two daughters are the ones he married. Speaking of Sesshomaru and Rin, they also had a deep connection in the series.
Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter is Moroha
In that case, Moroha is Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter. Now that you mention it, all three of them resemble their parents, or rather, they look alike. Moroha is a girl living during the Sengoku period, but because she has spent most of her time alone, she doesn't know much about her parents.
Towa and Setsuna's parents! What is the relationship between Sesshomaru and Rin?
Sesshomaru is one of the most popular characters in "Inuyasha." When the anime adaptation of "Hanyou no Yashahime" was announced, there was a lot of buzz about who Sesshomaru's wife is. Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's half-brother and the eldest son of Inu no Taisho. He bears some resemblance to Inuyasha. He's a handsome man, but he's actually over 200 years old. He far surpasses other demons in all abilities and is indifferent to the Shikon Jewel that everyone is fighting over. She also seems to be very proud of her father and her lineage, and has a tendency to look down on half-demons and humans.
About the Girl "Rin"
Surprisingly, Rin is a girl much older than Sesshomaru, but she later becomes his wife. She lost her ability to speak due to the trauma of seeing her parents and siblings killed in front of her. However, she has a kind and innocent personality. They formed a bond after caring for Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru's smile healed him, reviving him and regaining his ability to speak. From then on, Sesshomaru changed and developed a compassionate heart.
About the Higurashi Family? Whose house is "Towa" staying in? Spoiler alert!
"Towa" traveled back in time from the Sengoku period to the present day at the age of four. She was raised as the daughter of Kagome's younger brother, Sota, and lives in the present day.
Who is Sota Higurashi?
Kagome's younger brother, Sota Higurashi, was only 9 years old when he first appeared in the "Inuyasha" anime. He eventually grows to 13 by the final episode. Since "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" is set in a world that has passed considerably since the original, it's exciting to see how Sota has grown up.
[Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon] Summary and Spoilers!
That concludes the synopsis and spoilers for the anime "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon," scheduled to air in the fall of 2020! What did you think? As this is the first new installment of this hugely popular anime in 10 years, many fans are eagerly awaiting its release. With the unexpected appearance of a daughter and a time-traveling plot, there's high hopes for the story. The cast also features a reunion of past "Inuyasha" voice actors, making it even more exciting.
