And you? You are basing the shit on the fact you believe they were romantically involved when she was a wholeass child back then. If that's the case him bringing her presents and 'courting' while seeing her grow up is even more gross and disgusting. It basically means he fell for a 8 year old child. But thankfully non of their interactions screamed, 'imma fuck you in the future'.

What else is she? Explain your narrative, what is it that we don't see? Bc so far it's getting worse and all you do is talk HOW OUR NARRATIVE IS WRONG.


There is a thing called "Growing to love someone", Sesshômaru protecting and taking care of Rin doesn't mean he loved her when she was 8, it doesn't mean he loved her when she was 11, and it doesn't mean he loved her when she was X years old.
However, he seemingly started to care about Rin the more the time passed, so he could have developed his feelings into love for her, who knows.

There is also a thing called "Getting kids without 'romantically loving' the partner".
We are talking about Sesshômaru, and he's a Demon, so I say it's purely and utterly speculative to claim we know exactly how he's feeled towards Rin. The Mindset of a Demon could something completely... out of this world.

However Rin is a Human girl,
and what do we know about Human Girls?
They have a tendency to develop feelings for older guys.
Especially if they're kind to you, protective and well... Sesshômaru is Sesshômaru, what else do you need?

My speculative guess is that as the years went by and Rin got older, she started to realize what kind of feelings and love she had felt Sesshy.
And Sesshy either being more indifferent in terms of "Romantical Love", just happening to "be there"/ going with the flow when it was time for the act.
Or after being long time in this "long distance relationship" he started to notice that something was missing.


While it makes me sick, yes that's definitely a possibility, I can see Rin falling for him but him after everything just doesn't seem right. He never treated her in a romantic way and if he did, it'd be weird (cue modern standards, morals, he's a demon and what not. Well there is that scene where fans claim he's 'courting' her towards the end but she's only 11 by then.

My bet is on Rin too tho. It's the most obvious choice and he wouldn't just sleep with anyone.

It's been 20 years since this franchise started, and one of the shows that defined my childhood growing up with Rumiko Takahashi material.

Hopefully this'll be good, even for a spin-off.

Please, PLEASE, don't let this show be another Boruto (or otherwise we can label it Inuyasha: New Generations).

Since all the kids are of the same age, would that not imply that Rin (if it is actually her) had kids at a pretty young age?

I am honestly rather flabbergasted right now. Don’t know what to say.

To this and everyone who is afraid this will just end up like some Boruto generations.

This new Inuyasha will be done by Sunrise, and honestly speaking, Sunrise is one of the top studios out there. They're very consistent in their animation quality and originals, so on that department there should be no problems.

However I do see this could turn out to be somewhat generic Shônen show, and will be decent at worst.

I have extremely high trust that this show will be enjoyable, and could actually even be very good.

Intelligent gets through situations which wise avoids.

This announcement feels like a fever dream. I would have preferred a new adaption of the manga without any fillers, but being the huge Inuyasha fan that I am, I would accept anything Inuyasha related they give me. I just hope it’s a 26 episode series and not a long runner like Boruto.

If it is Rin okay, if it’s not, okay. I never saw Sesshomaru assume the role of a dad, personally. Him leaving her in a human village already says a lot about how he put value in what's best for her. If it is Rin, I think she'd be the one who developed feelings.

Another reason why I'd be okay with the reveal is due to the story not being an example of anything in the first place. I mean- I love Miroku x Sango but he constantly sexually harassed her + others. It’s weird to be mad at one thing and glance over the other.

Who knows, maybe they won't even address it at all.

Inuyasha holds a special place in my heart so I’ll be checking this out. Dunno how I feel about Rumiko not being involved in the story though. It’s cute how their kids are all girls, especially since this is in shounen. Things are refreshing again.

Edit: I just noticed! Kaoru Wada returning for music!! Wouldn't have it any other way :')

Well, holy shit. It took me a while to process the title. Like, what!? An Inuyasha sequel!?
Guess I'm gonna have to restart the series now!

edit: So, it's Boruto-next gen type... I don't know how to feel.

This is the sort of thing where no matter what the actual synopsis and show to follow entailed and consisted of, I would still watch it even if it was 200 more episodes of them just hanging out and doing nothing of consequence, since as one of my first, most beloved, and longest-running anime I've seen to date in purposeful order, that's how invested I am in even the tiniest details and moments of this story and this world and these characters and all the facets of their lives.

I cannot emphasize enough how glad I am that it will be a sequel and not a remake/reboot. For that alone, upon hearing this news I feel like such a bullet was dodged and feel twice blessed.

It was long thought even by those of us who reiterated constantly that anything is possible that in the unlikely possibility that Inuyasha were to return it would almost certainly be a reboot/remake/abridged version so they could make it super fast paced to cater to the modern audiences who refused to watch a now older show or always complained about repetition or slower pacing. That they're letting the older show stand as the magnificent accomplishment it is and confidently continuing from there is such a beautiful and unexpected turn of events.

Also, I am getting a distinct The Legend of Korra vibe.

The only thing I am looking forward to in regards to this sequel is probably all of the incoming fandom discourse on Sesshomaru's kids tbh. Seeing people lose their shit over a mediocre childhood show is way too funny to me.

how about giving the Ranma anime a proper ending? Inuyasha already got enough and a proper ending


Ranma 1/2 doesn't really need a proper end. It's renowned as a classic either way. Would it be cool to have the final chapters adapted, totally I would be for it. But the overall series is more about becoming content with how some things are that you can't change, I think that it ended well with the Nadoko Saotome arc.

11* And even then, the man more than likely didng try anything until she got a bit older anyway

And wow, look at you projecting your own personal morals, ideals and head canon again, is that all you can say at this point lol?

There's tons evidence to prove you wrong even and yet you're still out here spouting the same political shit xD But then again, when you're agreeing with someone who's argument is literally

"Buying her things, protected her, cared deeply about her and visits her = Shes like a daughter to him"

Then Idek why I'm even bothering responding to you all


Bring it, where is the evidence? What's the narative you want us all to agree with? You hear some? I don't, I hear 'YOU'RE WRONG, REALLY REALLY WRONG BOOHOO' but else absolutely nothing. No argument, nothing just a waste of space XD
Look at you trying to act like you even remotely have a leg to stand on, but since you want to act all high and mighty, I'll deal with you properly

First of all, I dunno what anime you were watching/what manga you were reading, but this whole notion of "Sesshomaru raising her" is just asinine (And this is where you guy's skewered head canon has blinded you all to the facts). The only thing this man did for her (And Jaken for that matter) is protect them when they were danger, other than that they just constantly followed him around pestering him and more than anything, it was Jaken who took care of her via feeding them all etc but in short, he pretty much left them to fend for their own

Secondly, Sesshomaru only REALLY started to feel strongly about Rin near the end of the series when she died and he begged his mom to bring her back because as I stated earlier, she was the first human to show him that humans are worth keeping around and caring about...His love for her was LITERALLY the catalyst for him becoming the great and powerful demon that he is now - In his own mother's words, and I quote "Did you think you were like a god or something? That as long as you had Tenseiga there was no fear of death? You were to be taught a lesson about the desire to save the life of a loved one and the sorrow and fear that accompanies that loss"

And this was then followed by him LITERALLY caressing her face once his mom brought her back to life lol.

And lastly, in the CD drama, its blatantly stated by both Kagome and Sesshomaru that hes in love with her...The whole point of him leaving her with her kind was so that she could learn what it's like to live amongst them so that *WHEN SHE COMES OF AGE* she can chose whether or not she wants to be with him or stay with the humans (So no, this man was not grooming her or taking care of her, stopping by every now and then and bringing gifts is neither of these things)

Imma need you and everyone else spouting this father-daughter nonsense to get your head out of your ass and rewatch the series with your eyes open and your politics out the dang door lol

I wish I could still get excited by announcements like this one, but experience taught me not to. There's absolutely no way a sequel like this is going to be any good. The best I can hope for is that it doesn't retroactively make the previous adaptations worse (by making seshomaru a total creep, for example).

I will try watching a couple episodes, sure, but like with that new season of Basilisk, my expectations will be low and I still expect I'll be disappointed.

Ranma does need a proper ending. Even Rumiko admited she was pressured by publishers into that rushed open ending.

Towa : sheshomar daughter, very similar to inuyasha (sword user)

Setsuna : seshomaru daughter, very similiar to sheshomaru (cold, calm and did not use weapon)

Moroha : inuyaha daughter, similar to kagome (alchemist /herbalist, archer.

I really hope moroha can fight at close range and will moroha will have miko power like kagome?(but she is 1/4 yokai), and Towa not always use sword like inuyasha just like boruto can't use thousands shadow clone

Well, the doubt around such things can be understandable. It even served as intrigue for Minnelli's Gigi.

@soul-nugget Original character-designs* Obviously, someone more versed into animation has been tasked with streamlining her style for animation (and maybe for visual continuity with the previous TV series, since no adaptation of her work ever tried to approximate her style).
As for the story? It's an original project made for TV and she has never been involved in adaptations (except for some initial designs) so she won't bother with that (was she even asked, apart from maybe one or two ideas of how she envisioned characters later? I doubt it.)

@nightcrawlercyp Apart from Inuyasha, I don't know any rumiko Takahashi series with a narrative made in a way that it required an actual ending. Her thing is usually to just have things happen with a very thin and faint background storyline

Maison Ikkoku had an ending, Urusey Yatsura had a kind of ending and considering the child of Lum and Ataru boy visits them from the future is pretty much set in stone. Rinne I am not sure what happeed to it as it was still on going last time I heard. Ranma is the only one without any typeof ending.

That love was never explicit stated as romantic love within the manga or the anime and his true thoughts remain unknown.

Now onto the drama CD it's not canon, it had a satire label on the cover, was made as a gag from the anime staff. Rumiko had no involvement in it in any way and it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Heck, Inuyasha and the rest have a tongue twister contest on his dad's graveyard? You think they'd do smth like that in canon? No. Her opinion on them is unknown, wether she approves or disapproves.

Hence it's completely up to interpretation and fine if ppl took it as father/guardian/child dynamic bc so far nothing has confirmed it's romantic in any way. Even the Japanese fanbase is devided into two with some saying it's romantic (in the future)/some it's a father/daugther dynamic.

Honestly, I do think it's Rin, I despise it and yes, Sess is cancelled for me once it's confirmed. It's perfectly valid to feel uncomfortable by it as the 'love' he shares was never stated as Ai. If you viewed it as romantic well so be it, I did not. YES I KNOW POLITIC GLASSES bohoo but even back then a grownass man (demon) wouldn't have been interested in a non pubescent child (in some who is not at least 14) or courted her. They needed kids, not raising kids and girls married young bc they died young.

Whether you feel a healthy dose of aversion at Rin very likely being the mother or not, what makes me more curious is the question of why Kagome and Inu Yasha left their daughter alone and she grew up without them??

Seeing as basically most people on this forum disagreed, I need to comment just to state that I very much agree with everything @lov3lymj has said.
I think the chances of Rin not being the mother are very slim, since Kaguya was the only other valid option and very obviously can't be the mother.
But I consider it a very healthy response to question a possible romantic-sexual involvement between the two.
It's not about the age gap or the hundred year old demon aspect by itself, there's nothing wrong with a big age gap, provided that they met when she was an adult (or at least almost an adult) but having him groom her this way since she was a small child inevitably implies a really frightening unhealthy predatory angle.
Not to say that it couldn't have developed naturally and isn't as creepy as it sounds at first, but I don't think the sequel will go into any details concerning how their relationship came to be, so the only ground we'll have to go on will be the main series which depicts her as a small child (being almost treated as his daughter/ little sister)...
(Not to say that there weren't enough hints that foreshadowed their romantic involvement...)

So while I'd be wildly out of place for it not to be Rin, there's nothing wrong with people being dissatisfied to see the relationship take this turn.

her design for the inukag daughter is great, far better than any fan version i've seen over the years, i'll admit to that, but takahashi not being involved in the story creation...? that....

I am glad to see that people on MAL are not obsessed with the fact that this can be an all-female show, unlike ANN. It seems that nowadays people are more obsessed with the potential of title for fanservice than anything else.

Heck, Inuyasha and the rest have a tongue twister contest on his dad's graveyard? You think they'd do smth like that in canon? No. Her opinion on them is unknown, wether she approves or disapproves.

Hence it's completely up to interpretation and fine if ppl took it as father/guardian/child dynamic bc so far nothing has confirmed it's romantic in any way. Even the Japanese fanbase is devided into two with some saying it's romantic (in the future)/some it's a father/daugther dynamic.

Honestly, I do think it's Rin, I despise it and yes, Sess is cancelled for me once it's confirmed. It's perfectly valid to feel uncomfortable by it as the 'love' he shares was never stated as Ai. If you viewed it as romantic well so be it, I did not. YES I KNOW POLITIC GLASSES bohoo but even back then a grownass man (demon) wouldn't have been interested in a non pubescent child (in some who is not at least 14) or courted her. They needed kids, not raising kids and girls married young bc they died young.
That shit was heavily implied my guy, you dont go around throwing strong words and performing actions and facial expressions like that to have it all be taken as lightly as you want it to be

And in term of canoncity, the author doesnt need to always be heavily involved in order for something to be canon, things such as this are a staple for shounen series, look at Boruto, Kishimoto doesn't write that series anymore and simply just overlooks what's going on, but that doesnt make the series any less canon

I'm gonna leave the rest of this alone because it's just your personal bias and morality talking so you're entitled to feel however you want about it

I don't have high hopes for more nostalgia driven anime that destroys the original canon of the history.
But i hope is good.

Inuyasha is one of my favourite series of all time, but I think this is a bad idea for a sequel. The series already had a great ending, so having a sequel like this (without much screen time for Inuyasha likely) doesn’t make sense to me, especially when a terrible series like Boruto has shown what could be the result of such a case. I’m also not a fan of the all-female cast, and the fact that Rumiko Takahashi isn’t involved in the story seems troubling to me. Overall, this series just doesn’t seem interesting, and that’s a huge let down as I would’ve loved an Inuyasha sequel that went down a different route.

I'm glad I came here to read the responses after seeing this all over Twitter and Instagram, a lot of valid arguments and points have been brought up that I surprisingly haven't seen anywhere else.

Yes I'm super happy that InuYasha is returning with a new chapter in the story, yes I'm hyped to follow the daughters of the beloved characters I grew up with but I still have plenty of concerns and reservations.

This has so much potential to surprise us with a quality series and yet it can go wrong in so many ways and become another Boruto. The absence of the original characters, their whereabouts being up in the air, the fact that Rumiko herself isn't in charge of the story (c'mon, really? I know you're busy with Mao but you don't have to spend another 12 years on the story).

But regardless of all these things, it's encouraging to see so many of the original crew returning to make this happen and I trust that they'll spin an engaging story for our leads and will give the old heroes the return they deserve. All we can do is sit tight and wait.

Last we saw of Kagome and Inuyasha, they told us they were ready to race towards tomorrow. Well, tomorrow is here. Let's hope it has treated them kindly.

As much as you may dislike Sessrin... at least its still a better love story then seeskag XD

And? They met when she was 8, after everything he dropped her off but still frequently visits, protects her and brings her gifts. Idk waiting for s/o to be a legal or ready to bear their children.. is just weird and ruins Sesshomaru for me. It raises the question when he fell for her?

If people are getting that antsy over it, wait till they learn how old Kagome is.

I'm soooo looking forward to this anime since I'm rewatching the old series right now. I'd really like to the see a direct sequel of what happened to everyone, especially InuKag. I know we got an epilogue, but nothing really happened there.
And the fact that Moroha grew up all by herself without knowing her parents?? I really can't imagine that especially Inuyasha leaving his only child behind when he knows how difficult growing up for him was. There certainly must be some kind of circumstance. Hopefully, it's not too sad. I honestly don't see any reason to have this turn into a tragedy or something like that.
Also looking forward to how everyone's gonna do in the modern era and what kind of demons Sesshomaru's daugthers are and who their mom is (sure everyone thinks the same but who knows. Rin could have perfectly ended up with Kohaku as well).
Anyways, so many open questions and so excited for this show. Hopefully, InuKag will make an appearance<3

Is it really Rin the mother of Sesshoumaru's twins? This is heartbreaking for me because I always admire Sesshoumaru being a good father to Rin. It will ruin my good fantasy about Sessh! I hope it is not Rin. I prefer Sessh with another youkai girl or if only Kagura is still alive. 💔

I wish they can bring back Kagura. Please Rumiko,use Dragon Ball and bring back Kagura in this sequel.

-Edit-
Is Rumiko Takahashi going to write the story or someone else?
