The hugely popular anime "Inuyasha" has been loved for so long that there is probably no one who doesn't know about it. The Inuyasha anime ended 10 years ago, but a new series is set to air in 2020, which has fans excited. The title is "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon." What kind of story will it be? In this article, we'll take a look at the appeal of "Inuyasha" ahead of the new anime! Check it out before the new anime airs.
Inuyasha will also be appearing!? "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" Synopsis
The tagline for the new anime "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" is "Sesshomaru has a daughter." This keyword alone was quite shocking for Inuyasha fans, sparking a lot of discussion about who his wife might be. It turns out it's Rin, who has always been by Sesshomaru's side. "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" also features daughters of Kagome and Inuyasha. It's surprising to see characters who have been at the forefront of the story so far become parents.
Synopsis
The twin girls, Towa and Setsuna, are Sesshomaru's daughters. When they were young, the two got caught up in chores in the forest and were separated at the age of four. Only Towa managed to pass through the time-traveling tunnel of the Tree of Eras, traveling back in time from the Sengoku period to the present day. She was raised as a daughter in the home of Higurashi Kagome's younger brother and lived her life as Higurashi Towa. Ten years later, the tunnel of the Tree of Eras opens again. Towa is reunited with Setsuna, but for some reason, Setsuna has lost her memories from her childhood... With Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter, Moroha, joining the group, the adventure of the three "Yashahime Half-Demons" begins!
So, what kind of character is Inuyasha?
Here, we'll take a closer look at Inuyasha, the protagonist of the original anime. We can't discuss this work without him.
Basic Information
Inuyasha is the second son of the great demon, Inu no Taisho. Inuyasha is a "half-demon" born to a demon father and a human mother (of noble descent). His actual age is a whopping 200 years old, but in human terms, it translates to 15. His past has left him with a rough and foul-mouthed personality, but he is kind at heart. He has a violent side, slashing mercilessly at his enemies, but he also goes easy on humans. He also has a strong sense of curiosity, taking an interest in Kagome's textbooks and even helping her practice riding her bike when she's not around. Because he was once ostracized because he was half-demon, he behaves with concern for fellow half-demon people. He harbors intense anger towards Naraku, who, despite having a human heart, chose the path of a demon.
What does Inuyasha look like?
Inuyasha is known for his long silver hair and dog-like ears. However, he gets angry when people treat him like a dog. Also, like a dog (?), he has a keen sense of smell and can detect enemies from even the faintest scent lingering in the air. However, he also has a weakness for strong smells. Incidentally, a black pearl is hidden in his right eye, leading to the location of his father's grave.
Inuyasha is a "half-demon"
Let's take a closer look at the existence of "half-demon." As the name suggests, "half-demon" refers to a mixture of human and demon, a so-called "half-demon." As a half-demon, Inuyasha was shunned and ostracized. He was even treated like an outcast by his father, a demon. In this world, simply being a half-demon tends to be viewed poorly by both demons and humans.
Demon State, Human State
Inuyasha's demon blood is so strong that when his life is in danger or he is exposed to strong evil spirits, his demon blood takes over his body. At that moment, Inuyasha temporarily transforms into a complete demon, taking on a terrifying appearance. The demonic aura he exudes is so intense that even Sesshomaru was frightened. In this state, his fighting ability increases significantly, but he also loses his rationality, and he seeks to kill any living being other than himself, friend or foe. At this time, Inuyasha is consumed only by the joy of slicing others into pieces, and he is completely incapable of feeling pain or fear.
Inuyasha's consciousness
If Inuyasha repeatedly transforms into a demon, his mind will be corroded by the strong demon blood, and he will eventually lose his mind. Furthermore, Inuyasha himself does not remember the transformations he has undergone. To prevent this transformation, he must possess the Tessaiga, or Kagome may calm him down by "sitting."
I'm curious about Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship! How the two met
What's interesting here is the relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome. In the latest anime, it's revealed that they're married and have children (!), but what was it like when they first met and what was their relationship like? They truly are a couple bound together across time.
Kagome and Inuyasha's Encounter
Inuyasha's heroine, Higurashi Kagome, is the daughter of a shrine priest. One day, she travels back in time to the Sengoku period (1467-1576) down a well, where she encounters Inuyasha, a half-demon who had been sealed in a tree. Inuyasha senses a resemblance to Kikyo, the shrine maiden of the past, in Kagome, and the seal is broken.
Kagome, Kikyo, and Inuyasha
Back in the Warring States period, demons and humans fought over the "Shikon Jewel." Kikyo, a shrine maiden who protected the Jewel, was in love with the half-demon Inuyasha. However, the two fell into a trap and hated each other, eventually betraying each other. Kikyo then sealed Inuyasha, who had stolen the Jewel, away from her own strength. It turns out that the shrine maiden, Kikyo, was reincarnated as Kagome. Inuyasha reunites with his former lover, who has now been reincarnated. However, this is where a love triangle between Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo begins.
At first, Kagome and Inuyasha were at odds, but
When Inuyasha and Kagome first met, they initially bickered. However, as they overcame each other's battles and spent more time together, they soon fell in love. Inuyasha, gradually drawn to Kagome's cheerfulness and kindness, has a side to him: he becomes faster when she's around. Kikyo actually dies midway through the story, but Kagome deeply regrets not being able to save her, and her relationship with Inuyasha is in jeopardy. However, she later resolves to stay by his side. When the story concludes and the battle with the Shikon Jewel is over, Kagome returns to the present day. However, even after three years, she is unable to forget her feelings for Inuyasha, and ultimately chooses to live with him in the Sengoku period and marry him.
Kotodama "Sit"
Inuyasha has a Kotodama prayer bead placed around his neck by Kaede. He is then slammed to the ground by Kagome's "Soul-calming Kotodama" (Sit).
Does Inuyasha appear in "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon"?
A hot topic among fans is whether Inuyasha will appear in the upcoming anime, "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon." After all, Inuyasha is the main character of the series, and his and Kagome's daughter appears as the heroine, so it wouldn't be surprising if he also appeared in "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon." However, there's one thing that's bothering me: Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter, Moroha, has always lived alone and barely remembers her parents. Where are Inuyasha and Kagome? Will they appear during the anime? The story will be interesting to watch.
