bakasaiga:“Lord Sesshomaru. I’m not alone anymore.”- Rin Decades later… "…But now I am.“- SesshomaruAlthough Yashahime doesn’t seem to have the same dark tones as its predecessor does (upbeat OP, cheerful heroine, etc). I can’t help but think about how Sesshomaru is one of the most depressing characters in the sequel. No wife, no kids, not even his brother to banter with. He probably blames himself for a lot of things— jeopardizing the Inuyokai power dynamics, the comatose Rin, separated daughters, even the fates of InuKag & Moroha. How does all the guilt not eat up at him? It wasn’t even for a few months or a couple of years. Over a decade. How has he not regressed? He used to be so closed-off, stoic, lonely. Then he let Rin into his life & he started a family, repaired relations with his brother, & protected countless humans. And now all of that is taken away for him to just watch from afar as a spectator in the darkness. When Rin died in TFA, he was really beating himself up over 1 little girl’s death. But now? Everyone’s fate is all twisted. How much baggage is that for over 10 years? No wonder I dreamt about his guilt just fully consuming him & how he’d think about ways to punish himself.Twitter @bakasaiga PIXIV @bakasaiga Vocal.Media @bakasaigaInstagram @SesshomaRinThis is my own personal opinion. Please feel free to respectfully disagree.I LOVE Sesshomaru. I LOVE that Sesshomaru’s character arc was redeemed, I fucking LOVE that he is with Rin, and I am glad he is the protagonist, now-BUTHe has only been a good guy for a fraction of time compared to the rest of his life where he was more than likely a spoiled rich kid used to getting whatever he wanted, and would quite literally KILL if he didn’t get it.Just look at the first thing that we ever saw him do. He emotionally manipulated Inuyasha into believing he was torturing his mother- when it was actually a soul sucking demon he pounced on Inuyasha in order to kill him and get what he wanted.Bro.He deserves everything he is getting.Rin does not.Their kids do not.Inuyahsa, Kagome and Moroha do not.The demon slayers do not.Sesshomaru? Well…..He has a bit of a debt to pay for the shit he has done and the heartache he’s caused, and I like to think that he would fit the image up above perfectly and go about it like it’s another work day.Should he? Perhaps not.BUTI also like to think he will be able to actually learn everything he needs to learn, while somehow making this mission work. If anyone can figure out how to fix everything and save everyone, I think Sesshomaru can do it.But he definitely deserves 100% of what he is getting. This is only opinion, of course and this is coming from someone that ADORES Sesshomaru. -- source link
