YASHAHIME THEORY TIME

So, I am rewatching Hanyo no Yashahime (I guess just to torture myself) and I’ve noticed something that I haven’t seen before and I saw no one talking about after the show finished...

During the first episode, we see the only appearance of the old cast together in this season and it happens 6 months after Kagome came back to the Feudal Japan to live with InuYasha. They were living normally without big issues, until Yotsume appears and watch Kagome and Sango hanging out. This episode was portrayed in the manga, being the last chapter updated years later after the story was over.

When I’ve watched it for the first time, I’ve thought it was nostalgic and did not pay attention to the details, but now I’ve realized that I missed something very important: WHO WAS THE PERSON THAT UNSEALED THE ROOT-HEAD?

More than 50 years ago, during the time Kikyou took care of Onigumo, she sealed the youkai Root-Head with one of her arrows in a nearby village. Exactly 6 months after Kagome came back, the arrow was removed, releasing Root-Head, that just like InuYasha in the OG series, did not know he was sealead for ages and mistook Kagome for Kikyou.

The curious part of it is that the arrow was not destroyed and left near by the resting place that the youkai was sealed. We know that the sacred arrow can only be removed by a HUMAN with high spiritual power, but we’ve met no one like this during this season.

Also, we can guess that Yotsume was the one that told this holy person about Kagome, because it happened just after Yotsume left the tree where he was watching Sango and Kagome talking.

However, Yotsume was working for the Four Perils and they were searching for half-demons and we’ve seen they fighting: no one had spiritual powers and neither of them would use minor a youkai to fight against InuYasha.

Another interesting point to observe during this episode, is the first time Sesshomaru appears. He stands next to Kohaku and says that Root-Head is an insignificant youkai, but Jaken points out that they sensed a strong demonic energy coming from the village. If Root-Head is a minor demon, then who is the owner of the powerful demonic energy? Oh, it appears that Sesshomaru already knows who is the person, because while leaving Kohaku, he says: “Nenokubi is an insignificant yokai... However... You are being annoying” (free translation of the portuguese version).

In my opinion. it would be too out of character for Sesshomaru to call someone he doesn’t know annoying, because it is like a compliment coming from him. That is why Jaken thinks he is the one Sesshomaru is talking about.

Also, if Sesshomaru really knows this person, then it would explain why he didn’t help the InuGroup to kill the Root-Head and just kept standing in the rooftop of the house the kids were hiding.

After watching this episode and noticing these things, I don’t think that Sesshomaru was going to the village to visit Rin that day, he was just following the powerful demonic energy he felt.

Perhaps I am totally wrong about it, yet I think that this person is the real villain of this anime and not Kirinmaru. I even think that this is the powerful youkai that Miroku fought against before entering the seclusion. However, I don’t think this person is a youkai, at least not a full one, due to the fact that he/she can undo a sacred seal.

ROOTHEAD vs ONIGUMO - VISUAL COMPARISON 

#Inuyasha #Yashahime #roothead #onigumo #inuhime

[born-for-eachother]

Roothead is so rude, if that is truly Kagome inside the tree, she looks like she’s wearing a gown for sleeping...you mean to tell me it straight up snatched her when she was sleeping next to Inuyasha? 

#im fighting #roothead really is That Bitch #inukag #hanyo no yashahime spoilers #yashahime spoilers #hanyou no yashahime spoilers

[mustardyellowsunshine]

Kagome anon. I got that impression precisely because of how drawn out the attacks on her very identity were getting, the characters acting ooc to her constantly and her also constantly having to defend herself about it but being made to constantly question herself while kikyo wasn’t, rumiko saying she apparently didn’t know what to do with kagome until satsuki yukino told her, her powers being nerfed by magatsuhi and kaede still saying her real power was “borrowed” in the charity chapter (with roothead)…sango is also treated horribly but the distinction is that she isnt a protagonist character and her bad treatment is a rant for another time. And sunrise…well.

Thanks for popping in again! I can totally see where you're coming from now. I actually had no idea that Rumiko Takahashi said she didn't know what to do with Kagome's character. That's so interesting. (I'm really uninformed about "word of God" things that RT has said in interviews -- I'm only aware of a few that I've read on Tumblr. 😅)

Yes, I agree that Kagome's insecurities around identity dragged on beyond the point of usefulness for character development. I mean, I do appreciate Kagome's struggles with that stuff in the earlier parts of the series—it's only natural she would struggle with it under the circumstances—but eventually it becomes a narrative crutch that just doesn't fit anymore. It doesn't fit her own character growth, or the relationship development that occurs between InuKag. I peg it as lazy writing tbh.

With the inconsistencies around Kagome's powers: I blame that on the fact that InuYasha was such a long-running series, and RT has apparently claimed she doesn't go back and read her own work once it's published. I'd almost bet money that RT literally forgot her own canon, hence that weird line from Kaede in the "epilogue." But I hear you: I'm not wild about the epilogue chapter in general, mostly because of how it nods at the "love triangle" that should've been well behind them by that point. I recently saw good analysis on that chapter from @shinidamachu and @inukag about how the epilogue demonstrates character regression rather than progression. It's worth a read, especially because @inukag specifically addresses that line from Kaede.

And MAN, can you imagine what the series could've looked like if Kagome's powers hadn't been nerfed?? (I mean, she's already pretty badass even with nerfed powers.) Seeing Kagome with her fully-realized powers right at her fingertips? God. I want it.

With the latest YH timeline retcon Rin isn’t even 15, she’s like 12/13, kagome says it’s been 14 years since she saw her family, meaning during the first episode of Yashahime with the roothead incident that takes place 6 months after she comes back, both she and Rin were already pregnant. (Eugh 🤢🤢)

That hack Sumisawa can't even stay consistent with a timeline he created himself.

I believe the April interview came with a timeline - I've only seen the Japanese scans, but what I heard is: it's unclear/evasive about the amount of years Kagome was away (we all know it was 3 years), and doesn't specify how much time passed between Roothead's attack and Inuyasha getting the pearl (thanks to Kaede, we know only a month went by). Basically the latest timeline tries to make it seem like enough time could have passed for Rin to be 18 by the time she gives birth...contradicting what was stated in the show. Embarrassing.

[loveyou-x3000]

Because I'm bored, I wanna compare Sunrise's bizarre Inu no Taisho timeline to the one that might actually make sense.

[The Sengoku Era year for the Inu-Yasha manga is estimated here. I picked a middle number.]

Going off of what has been purported in movies 1, 3, the Inu-Yasha anime and Yashahime:

"Heian Era" — Tessaiga and Tenseiga are forged. The Inu no Taisho fights Shishinki, because he has the Meidou Zangetsuha in 1019. Both of these statements are out of sync with manga/anime canon and only exist in Yashahime. This also implies that InuYasha might have been born at this time, which means the Inu no Taisho could've died then, but this event would be out of sync with most canons, including Yashahime.

1019 — Kirinmaru and the Inu no Taisho destroy part of the Grim Comet.

1310-1311 — The Inu no Taisho prevents the mongol invasion and fights with the moth demons; historically incorrect. The Inu no Taisho fights the Panther King. The Inu no Taisho meets Izayoi. Izayoi becomes pregnant. Tessaiga is forged (again?). The Inu no Taisho fights Shishinki and obtains the Meidou Zangetsuha (again?). Tenseiga is forged (again?). The Inu no Taisho fights and seals Ryukotsusei. Sesshomaru appears as a teenager; InuYasha is born. The Inu no Taisho dies. Zero creates rainbow pearls with the Shikon no Tama.

1461 — Inu-Yasha is sealed to the Goshinboku.

1511 (1996) — Kagome arrives in the past.

1512 (1997) — Naraku defeated.

1515 (2000) — Kagome returns to the past. Roothead attacks.

1516 (2001) — InuYasha receives second black pearl.

1519 (2005) — Towa and Setsuna are born. The Grim Comet reappears. Moroha is born later in the year.

2019 — The Grim Comet reappears in the modern day.

Now, going off of what was purported in movies 1, 3, and the Inu-Yasha manga, while also assuming that Myoga is very bad at recalling exact lengths of time, this is a more cohesive timeline:

1274 or 1281 — Toga prevents the mongol invasion and fights the moth demons. Historically compliant.

1349-1350 — Toga meets Izayoi. Izayoi becomes pregnant. Tessaiga is forged. Toga fights Shishinki. Tenseiga is forged. Toga fights and seals Ryukotsusei. Sesshomaru appears as a teenager; InuYasha is born. Toga dies.

1500 — InuYasha is sealed to the Goshinboku.

1550 (1996) — Kagome arrives in the past.

1551 (1997) — Naraku is defeated.

1554 (2000) — Kagome returns to the past. Roothead attacks.

~~~

So. Yeah. What the fuck, Sunrise? 🙃

Which one do y'all like more?

[lady-of-disdain]

I can excuse yashahimes bad animation because I know the animators are most likely stretched thin, extremely overworked and underpaid, but I don’t understand the writing team messing with the timeline so much, first the timeline started 18 years ago after the final act ended and Rin was 14/15 when she gave birth, then she was retconned to “she’s 18 I swear bro” then kagome and Inuyasha finally get speaking roles in the present and kagome makes it clear that by the time the roothead attack happened in the first Yashahime episode both she and tiny 11 year old Rin, who was running around in her kimono she had at 7 waving to Sesshomaru were pregnant. (She said it had been 14 years since she last saw her family after the well closed) sunrise wants to have their pedo cake and eat it too.

I can’t and don’t excuse the bad animation though, because what produced that over worked and underpaid environment is Sunrise themselves. They had the ability to put the money into decent animation, and didn’t have to rush it out, but they chose too.

Granted I don’t blame the animators, the blame falls fully onto sunrise, and I’m still going to make fun of how terrible hny looks lol.

Everything else you’ve mentioned about the rest of this show’s flaws is 100% true too though. Yashahime is the biggest “fuck you” I’ve ever seen done to a fandom. And I was in the A:tlab fandom.

If I had the attention span and time I'd write an AU to Yashahime. KAGOME would be in the tree of Ages and Inuyasha caught up in saving her leaves Moroha alone. He checks up on her, but in his misguided attempt to not be alone forever he inadvertently leaves her alone. Moroha sets out to find her father and rescue her mother and her bounties provide her with information on both. She grew up with the Mirsan kids.

Setsuna would be the only child of Sesshoumaru and a dog demon. She ends up in the village and becomes a demon slayer (ironic) and begrudgingly helps her cousin find her family. Her goal is to become strong and a worthy successor to her father. She also comes to love humans the opposite of her father.

Sesshoumaru is still aloof, but has softened a bit towards humans due to Rin. He has a cold nature around his daughter, though he continues to look out for her wellbeing and leaves her in the village when he is away for long periods. He knows where his brother is headed and is helping in his own way. He

Kohaku is still a demon slayer along with his sister. Hisui travels with the girls. He is married to Rin and they end up being Kagome's ancestors.

Zero is still there but her story is about the cultivation of power and righting the balance Kagome upset by having a child out of time. She is more cunning than Naraku and like him she uses underlings (Riku) to do her bidding. She has a connection to roothead and the Tree of Ages.

There is no dream butterfly, Rin isn't shelved and actually is a character vs self insert/ plot device. The well does come unsealed and Moroha can travel and her grandmother automatically thinks it's Kagome, and Moroha asks about her mother.

Edit: Sango and Miroku are still the same but older and mature. They raised Moroha and have been looking into how to save their friend.

Kagome has been in stasis since Moroha was around 2 or 3. She sacrifed herself to save her daughter.

Rin is a healer passing on Kaede's traditions. She is an older sister figure to Setsuna and even explaining Sesshoumaru's motivations to her. She is grateful for Sesshoumaru and looks forward to his and her and Setsu's visits.

Towa is related to Zero. Idk how but she is. I'd like for her to either join them or be a wildcard. She could help or hinder them to her heart's content.

[fathersfang-mothersarmour]

Okay guys. Episode 8 preview. I’m so anxious to see InuYasha and Kagome again, but I have a feeling this scene is going to make me tear up!

Firstly, baby Moroha! 🥺 InuYasha seems defensive, but not terribly on edge. And Kagome doesn’t look too concerned, moreso like she’s questioning. I think Tessaiga is drawn because of Kirinmaru, not Sesshomaru. That, or maybe InuYasha had just fought off a lesser demon before these two showed up:

Here we see Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru. They don’t look like they’re here to attack, but perhaps to gather InuYasha and Kagome to help a larger battle (I’m suspecting RootHead/The Tree of Ages).

THIS. This is why I think I might tear up. It looks like they’ve passed baby Moroha off to a trusted friend while they join Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru in battle. And whoever the friend is. They look to be in the air. Kagome looks like she’s pleading for Moroha’s safety, and InuYasha seems like he’s giving his slightly saddened “please take care of her” look.

Now, the reason I think they’re off to battle RootHead, or the TOA, is because it is a common enemy of Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru (which explains why they are there together), but also InuYasha and Kagome. In the “since then” chapter, Sesshomaru refers to RootHead as “a nuisance.”, like he’s dealt with it before, or at least heard of its troubles. But also it doesn’t look to me as if Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru plan on attacking InuYasha and Kagome, and vice versa.

That’s just my take on it, but what do you all think? The next episode is going to be intense by the looks of it!

[dogs-over-people]

So I’ve been inspired by @loveyou-x3000’s bullet point Yashahime rewrite.

I currently have an Inuyasha fanfic on hiatus called “Stuck in Time.” It focuses on Inuyasha and Kagome being stuck in the Modern Era for three years after the final battle with Naraku. I already had an idea to turn this into a trilogy, but since Yashahime is so abysmal, I will be incorporating the elements I think could have worked had Surise went a different route with their writing.

1. Stuck in Time

Summary: Inuyasha and Kagome appear in the Modern Era after defeating Naraku and wishing away the Shikon Jewel. Upon trying to return to his era, Inuyasha discovers that the well has stopped working. Trapped with no way to return, Inuyasha and Kagome must work together to find a way back.

Pairings: Inukag, Mirsan, Sesskagu, KohRin (Future), Suikik

Inuyasha and Kagome get stuck in the Modern Era for 3 years.

Older modern Sesshomaru, resurrected Kagura

Inuyasha goes to school and helps defeat Entrance Exam.

Kagome gets proper miko training with reincarnated Kikyo.

Timey-wimey shit

2. Towards Tomorrow

Summary: Armed with knowledge about events to come, Inuyasha and Kagome return to the Feudal Era after the well reopens. Can Inuyasha and Kagome protect their friends, raise their family, and help save the future?

Inukag raise their family. Moroha is the oldest of three.

Mirsan Family is the same, except the twins and Hisui are closer in age. Sango and Miroku get married after the battle, but do not become pregnant until Sango is 18. The twins are born 9 months later. When Kagome and Inuyasha return, the twins are one and Sango is in her earliest stages of pregnancy with Hisui.

During the three years Inukag are in the Modern Era:

Sango is still an active demon slayer even though she has young children. Sango and Miroku live in Kaede’s village. Sango trains the villagers. Miroku and Kaede work together.

Kohaku continues his training. He lives with Sango and Miroku and their kids. Kohaku wants to rebuild the Demon Slayer Village. Sango wants to as well, but thinks it would be better to wait until both Kohaku and her children are older.

Rin lives with Kaede and is learning to be a midwife and healer. Rin has expressed desire to learn how to be a Demon Slayer, but Sango, Kaede, and Sesshomaru believe it would be best for Rin to wait until she is 11 or 12 to start training. In the meantime Rin will focus on healing, midwifery, and learning how to be a normal child.

Sesshomaru looks for ways to resurrect Kagura. His pride was severely injured when he could not save her from death, and he hates the feelings of guilt, regret, and remorse that have consumed him ever since. Sesshomaru visits the village every few months to check up on Rin and Kohaku. Sesshomaru provides Rin with new kimonos as she grows, and helps train Kohaku when he visits. Sometimes, Sesshomaru will leave demon bones at the entrance to the village for Sango to use to make weapons.

Kagura is resurrected. She is a half-demon with a human heart, the heart she had at the time of her death. She and Sesshomaru travel together. Kagura does not visit the village with Sesshomaru, but helps Sesshomaru pick the best kimonos for Rin from the ones Jaken retrieves. 

Sesshomaru and Kagura get secretly married. The twins are born around the same time as Moroha, about a year after Inukag’s return. Sesshomaru brings the twins to visit Rin and Kohaku. Everyone is surprised except for Inuyasha and Kagome who know. Sesshomaru doesn’t know that Inukag knows, and they must keep this knowledge to themselves.

When Inukag Returns:

 Inukag gets married. They spend a year readjusting to the Feudal Era. During this year they become pregnant with Moroha. Hisui is born. Kagura becomes pregnant with the twins (not in the village). 

Kohaku starts to go on extended training trips with Sesshomaru, and sometimes on his own. Kagura remains with Inukimi when Sesshomaru visits the village or helps Kohaku train. Rin is continuing her healing and midwife training, and now that Hisui is born, Sango will begin to teach her the basics of Demon Slaying and self-defense.

Shiori and her mom move to Kaede’s Village. Shiori and Rin become fast friends. Kaede’s Village becomes a safe place for Hanyou children and their families. 

The Roothead incident happens during Kagome’s early stages of pregnancy. They defeat Roothead. He doesn’t attach himself to the Tree of Ages.

Moroha is born. Towa and Setsuna are born. KIRINMARU/ZERO/RIKU does not happen at this time, and there is no dumb comet.

When Moroha is two, Kagome becomes pregnant with her second child. When Moroha is four, Kagome becomes pregnant with her final child.

EVERYONE GETS TO GROW UP AND BE HAPPY FOR 14 YEARS.

During this time Sango and Miroku move to the Demon Slayer Village where they live during the busy season. During the winter months they return to Kaede’s Village. Kohaku and Sango rebuild the Demon Slayer Village and recruit and train new Demon Slayers.

Rin joins the Demon Slayers. She leaves Kaede’s Village at age 16 to live with the Demon Slayers. She works as Kohaku’s partner.

Shirori helps Kaede protect the village while Miroku and his daughter Kin’u go on a two year training. Gyokuto works as a healer with the Demon Slayers, and Hisui is training under his mother and Kohaku to be a Demon Slayer. Upon his 16th birthday, Sango gifts Hisui Hiraikotsu.

Moroha and her siblings grow up with Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha and Kagome know that Zero has been accumulating power during these years, that she has awakened her brother, and that Riku is working as a free agent of chaos. However, Inukag can do nothing. They must accept the fate that befalls them.

Rin and Kohaku eventually turn from partners to lovers, and get married.

When the twins and Moroha are 14, Zero attacks. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kagome are sent to the Dream Dimension. Riku, who can manipulate time, sends Kagura back to a time when she does not possess a corporeal body. Kagura returns to her original form, the wind, but retains her consciousness and memories. Rin and Kohaku lead the Demon Slayers in a fight while Sango and Hisui go help protect Kaede’s Village.

Rin is injured in the battle. To help her heal so that she does not die a final time, Keade helps Kohaku place Rin in the Tree of Ages.

Koga and Ayame (yes Ayame is in here) take in Inukag’s second child, and Inukag’s youngest child goes to Miroku and Sango. Inuyasha and Kagome knew this would happen so made the proper plans to assure their youngest children were protected.

Moroha, Towa, and Setsuna need to team up to defeat Zero and Riku to free their parents and fix time so that Kagura can regain her corporeal body.

Cue Yashahime start without the bullshit of parents being absent FOR REASONS. No Towa going to the Modern Era for no reason? OG characters still have important roles and aren’t OOC. Rin ins’t a child bride or fridged in a tree for 14 years (more like a few months at most), Rin has an actual personality, goals, and agency. Kohaku and Kaede aren't dumbasses for “mystery” purposes. The girls’ powers make sense and no random power-ups because they’ve been with their parents for 14 years. Riku is still manipulative but for a reason other than what it’ll probably be in Yashahime. Kirinmaru is tired and just wants to sleep. He wants nothing to do with anyone or anything and is mad Zero woke him up. He’s unproblematic and I stan.

Zero is the big bad. No she doesn’t care about Toga. No there are no rainbow pearls. She just noticed the power vacuum Naraku and the absence of the jewel creates and makes her moves. She has to remove Inukag and Sesskagu because they’re her biggest threats. The Dream Realm is the nightmarish realm where everything is an illusion. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Kagome are battling their worst nightmares trying to escape as their daughters try to save them.

3. Winds of Change

Summary: With Zero and Riku defeated, Inuyasha and Kagome can relax with their family and friends. Rin and Kohaku have decided to start their family, and are pregnant with their first child. All of a sudden, the well reopens. Called to the Modern Era once more, Inuyasha and Kagome learn of a threat that has the power to alter time and fate. With Rin and Kohaku’s future child the key to everything, Inuyasha and Kagome must protect them at all costs.

KohRin are Kagome’s ancestors.

Ok

Ok

Ok

I get it. Y’all think that the entire franchise exists on the real-time axis. Well. Sunrise does not.

What they/you (because I’m dropping this in the sessrin tags) is that Inuyasha started the year the manga dropped in 1996 then went from there and now it’s 2020 so then:

Kagome= 15 in 1996

Kagome = 39 in 2020

Which would mean she was around 25 when Moroha was born.

Rin= 8 in 1996

Rin= 32 in 2020

Rin = 18 when the twins were born.

Come close so I can tell you something...

None of these characters exist in real space and time.

What the studio did give you though was a solid fucking timeline:

Here is Rin during the roothead incident. Next to a 14 year old. She’s a child.

Here’s hisui during that same timeframe.

Here is hisui 4 years later.

They gave you a timeline. Solid. Perfectly laid out.

But again these are animated characters not real people so what does it even matter:

These are grown ass folks in an animation studio romantasizing the relationship between a character they depicted as a child. With an adult. Real live children will watch it. Real life adults are out there romantasizing this. Normalizing.

Bare minimum they need to raise the rating. Bare minimum folks are spending a lot time making a timeline so they can celebrate the ‘canonization’ of this ship so they can be stoked about it.

[yashahime-theories-archive]

Fate, Time and Spinning Wheels

We all know about how changes in fate and time are themes in Yashahime. But there was also a VERY interesting conversation on the topic in the OG that they might be referencing in YH. 

Here, Naraku is talking to Kikyo right after coming out of Mt Hakurei

A spinning wheel of fate, you say? Which spins and weaves a red thread? 

Haven’t we seen THAT exact same visual in Yashahime? Yes, we have

The red threads are everywhere in Yashahime. They’re in the windmill of time, in the twins’ hair

And even in this new advertisement

In the original series, this is Kikyo’s view on fate and destiny, from that same conversation.

Which Treekyo seems to have inherited, since the tree wants to maintain fate as it should have been, even if it takes eliminating Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru, those who are actively trying to interfere with time for their own purposes.

Meanwhile, this is what Naraku has to say about fate and destiny.

While Kikyo believes that fate cannot be changed, Naraku believes that the strong are able to make their own fate. This is the approach that Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru seem to be taking, using their POWER, their STRENGTH as demons to literally alter time and fate.

In the newest episode, episode 25, we also have a similar speech from Towa, on the topic of strength and weakness. Like her uncle Inuyasha before her, one of Towa’s goals is to protect those that matter to her.

But it also has to do with fate. Here, Towa falls into despair because she believes that she cannot change Setsuna’s fate (to die), and she wasn’t even able to avenge her death. However, Towa is given a tool that allows her to change Setsuna’s fate and resurrect her. Therefore, Towa has been able to surpass Sesshomaru as he was in the original. When Sesshomaru was faced with Kagura’s fate, he tried to avert it using Tenseiga, but he was unable to use the sword on Kagura due to her body dissolving as she died. Tenseiga needs an intact body to work on, and Kagura didn’t leave one behind. 

This time, Tenseiga cannot work normally either, not because Setsuna’s body is too damaged, but because the blade is broken. However, Towa is able to use a power THAT SESSHOMARU DOESN’T HAVE: Her ability to make energy blades, in order to use the broken Tenseiga to successfully revive Setsuna. 

And at that point we can clearly see that th twins absolutely have demonic powers that they didn’t inherit from Sesshomaru. Because Sesshomaru ABSOLUTELY CANNOT USE ENERGY BLADES. He’s unable to use the broken Tenseiga to save Setsuna. Towa using her energy blade to make Tenseiga work is not a test, it’s a last resort. So if she didn’t inherit this power (energy blades) from her father’s side of the family, she must have inherited from her mother’s side. Rin didn’t have any powers of her own, being a normal and untrained human girl without any power of her own, but Kagura’s brother, Byakuya, could create energy blades. Therefore, it makes sense for Towa to inherit the ability to create energy blades from her mother’s side if her mother is Kagura, which would make Byakuya her uncle on her mother’s side.

So, regarding FATE, we are being given different perspectives and viewpoints:

Kikyo, who believes that fate is unchanging

Naraku, who believes that fate can be altered if you have enough power

Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru, two great demons who have altered the timeline, causing many paradoxes and anomalies to sprung forth.

Towa, one of the anomalies created by Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru’s altered timeline, who combines several viewpoints regarding fate. At the beginning, she starts out like Kikyo, believing fate to be UNCHANGING, that there is nothing she can do to save Setsuna. However, when given A TOOL that would allow her to revert Setsuna’s fate and bring her back to life, Towa takes that change and she is able TO USE HER OWN POWER in order to succeed. 

Another point regarding the theme of FATE in Yashahime is severing fate, which is probably going to be relevant regarding Zero’s curses, which tie her own lifeforce to her tagets’. This episode has tied it to Setsuna’s blood blade

And talking about time and fate, in YH, the Tree of Ages is another big symbol of those concepts. And, like the Shikon Jewel before it, it has acquired a light side and a dark side. On one side, we have Treekyo, the spirit of the tree that has taken on Kikyo’s visage

On the other, we have Roothead, the demonic parasite

That looked like Onigumo did after being burned.

However, Treekyo is looking rather threatening in the latest trailers

But she’s been subtly menacing before, too

And we should remember one important rule about Kikyo. In the original, the real Kikyo was never a villain. However, THE ONE WHO WASN’T KIKYO, BUT TOOK HER VISAGE, definitely was one. 

Treekyo may have taken on Kikyo’s appearance, but IT’S NOT THE REAL KIKYO. And the last time someone else took on Kikyo’s face, it was Naraku in his plot against Inuyasha and Kikyo to take the jewel for himself. 

Something is definitely going to happen with the tree and its spirits in S2, and Treekyo may not be as benevolent as she made herself look like. Because it was never the real Kikyo to begin with. She may not even have to be “evil” per se, just completely dedicating to her goal of preserving the Tree of Ages and fate without caring for factors such as the continued survival of paradoxical existences that would never have existed if it hadn’t ben for Kirinmaru’s and Sesshomaru’s intereference.

People out there claiming Rin gave birth at 18+ are idiots.

The bitch takes place 4 years after the roothead incident, Rin was 11.

11+4=15 it’s simple math.

Your really gonna claim that this Rin is older than 14. Use your damn brains people.
