A sequel to the hugely popular anime "Inuyasha" has been announced. It's called "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon." Sesshomaru's twin daughters and Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter will appear as heroines. Fans were excited about this unexpected anime sequel. The tagline was "Sesshomaru has a daughter," sparking speculation about who his wife might be. So, Inuyasha and Kagome are happily married. Moroha is the daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome in "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon." She hunts down bounty hunters and wields the cursed sword Kurikaramaru. While there's still little information available, this article will introduce the cursed sword Kurikaramaru.
Moroha's Sword! What is the Demonic Sword, Kurikaramaru?
This is the sword possessed by his daughter, Moroha. It is a demonic sword. Incidentally, the "Kurikara" in "Kurikaramaru" refers to the undulating dragon pattern. Kurikaramaru is known to unleash the "Kouryuha" technique, transforming into dragon flames to attack enemies. A color illustration of Kurikaramaru was recently released, and it's very cool.
Moroha's appearance looks like this
By the way, this is what Moroha, the owner of Kurikaramaru, looks like. She's cute, and she's inherited some of Inuyasha and Kagome's characteristics. In Inuyasha: The Final Chapter, Kagome decides to stay with Inuyasha during the Sengoku period. Of course, Moroha also lived during the Sengoku period. However, for some reason, she has always lived alone and doesn't know much about her parents. It will be interesting to see where Inuyasha and Kagome are and when they'll appear.
Does Kurikaramaru have an origin?
The original source of the Kurikaramaru is a sword, and it's said that the Kurikaramaru carried by Moroha originates from that sword. Kurikaramaru is a treasured object that appears in the kabuki play "Gion Festival Faith Record." It's a famous sword that was once owned by a descendant of the painting genius Sesshū, and is said to have a dragon motif that appears on it. Incidentally, "Kurikara" refers to a pattern designed with a undulating dragon, and this pattern was engraved on many swords and spears in addition to Kurikaramaru. Sesshū's granddaughter, Yukihime, is ordered by Matsunaga Daizen, who is aiming to light the fire, to "hang a picture of a dragon on the ceiling of Kinkaku-ji Temple." However, when she replies that she cannot paint it without using the dragon on Kurikaramaru as a reference, she is tied to a cherry tree.
Swords Engraved with "Kurikara"
Another famous sword engraved with "Kurikara" is the "Okurikara." Okurikara also appears in Touken Ranbu, so many people may be familiar with it. Originally known as "Okurikara Hiromitsu," this Japanese tachi sword is believed to have been made during the Nanboku-cho period and is designated as an Important Art Treasure. The blade is engraved with a Kurikara dragon entwined around the Kurikara sword. The Kurikara dragon is said to be a transformed form of the dragon god or Acala. It is said to represent Acala's supernatural powers, calming and eliminating all worldly desires and anger, and even subjugating evil.
