I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| So Rion now is basically Kikyou 2.0. Her soul is inside a temporary body but since her soul was not "split" like it was with Kikyou and Kagome, she won't need to be collecting souls to keep herself "alive". Riku saying he shouldn't even look at Rion at first and then taking her away was weird. Sesshoumaru destroyed the dream butterfly and now Setsuna can sleep and Rin is free. Always love how his character is portrayed. His emotions are not easy to read, but you can feel that his "I see" means somehow him feeling relieved that, even for a moment, Moroha was able to see her parents. They being separated its all his fault after all. So we have two objectives from now on. Saving Rin's life and stopping Kirinmaru. Next episode seems to be a filler to slow down the tempo. Well, Setsuna hasn't slept for years, so it's fair that she will be sleeping/sleepy for a while. Hoping for a fun episode and that this time, they don't repeat the mess it was that S1EP19. By the way, I'm starting to like Towa a bit more, even though she is still annoying sometimes. |
| A really cool episode, glad to see a Moroha / Sesshomaru interaction, it’s the first time they actually talk even if it’s really quick because Sesshomaru love to cut conversations short as always. Rion is a touching character, it’s nice to see more backstory about her past with her father. Plus, Riku part was funny, I like his interactions with Towa haha Tbh, I think i’m gonna skip the next episode because the most annoying character even Princess Aiya seems to be back and I think I can’t bring myself to see this mess, it’s kinda sad because the anime was finally getting good and interesting T_T |
 Sorry, my english may not be the best, I am french. |
| This whole anime feels like a loosely designed filler. With every episode it's getting worse. |
| As expected, Kirinmaru's daughter Rion's spirit situated at Mt. Musubi, and awaiting upon the half-demon princesses to come collect the Kyuyokon root while Riku fends off against the lower-class demons, the children sure want their parents dead to save the world from becoming this "Degenerate Age". Rion, like Rin, is attached to the Dream Butterfly "Red Thread of Fate" that beckons from their controls of both Kirinmaru and Zero, and since Setsuna is able to sever the Dream Butterfly with her Yukari no Tachikiri naginata, Rin should be the same, and Sesshomaru shortened that process for Setsuna in order to get some sleep. The Star-Slicer Flute a.k.a. the Zanseiken though, amassed together with the Kyuyokon root makes it look and feel like Sesshomaru's Tenseiga, if a bit underpowered. I have to admit that Towa using Riku as a mouthpiece to get her point across to Kirinmaru is funny though. With both children Rion and Riku out of Kirinmaru's grasps, at least that mission is complete, and we can move on. |

I like how they're reusing concepts so it doesn't seem like things are being pulled out of nowhere. The whole Rion being in a body made of her bones and graveyard dirt is exactly what happened with Kikyo so we know it's possible. If a demon sorcess could do it why couldn't a power daiyoukai like Kirinmaru? Also it makes sense that a daiyoukai like Kirinmaru would have powerful swords too. Of course made a different way than Inu no Taisho's. Gotta keep things fresh somehow. Then there's the whole Riku and Osamu-sensei origin. They're incarnations from Kirinmaru like Kagura and Kanna were from Naraku. I could've done without the whole rainbow pearls thing replicating the shikon no tama tho. |
| So Rion is this generation’s kikyo. Nice. Ok so this is a nitpick I know but how the hell would Kirinmaru and Rion have flown near the Taj Mahal when it wasn’t built until the 17th century?? Towa’s new sword looks really cool. Definitely going to take more than that to defeat kirinmaru tho. I love how sesshomaru drops by to give tough love every now and again. Releasing Setsuna from her curse, even though he doesn’t explicitly say things, his actions prove how much he cares about his girls and his woman. His development from the original series is unparalleled. Anyone else lowkey get kinda sad because it feels like we’re nearing the end of the series? Really don’t want it to end. |
 |
| sesshomaru sucks yashahime sucks |
| Oh okay so Rion got Kikyou'd basically. Also Riku is the king of simps. lol New sword for Towa goes brrrr. |
| Was the scene with Kirinmaru traveling and crossing the world in several different directions and locations with his daughter meant to imply that he can already in some capacity cross spacetime and therefore navigate time travel? Because the world of Inuyasha is set in the 1500s and this is only a few decades later (if Rin was eight in the original series, had her daughters Towa and Setsuna 10 years later when she was 18, and now they're both 14 years-old) - it's 24 years later to be precise then where the events of the original series left off. They depict flying over several famous historical, cultural, and natural sites in their journey. There is the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Wall of China, some mountains and a forested river region that kind of resembles the Rocky Mountains mountain range and something like Rocky Mountain National Park (in Colorado) or Yosemite National Park (in California) in the United States, and something that looks like the Parthenon or another comparable ancient Greek temple. Yet the Taj Mahal was constructed in 1631, which would be years still from the future of when this series is set. Even moreso because it looked in the scene like Kirinmaru was flying with Rion when she was still alive as a human and not a ghost/spirit. So if she died 600 years prior to the present day (present for the series), that would be sometime in the 900s A.D. (10th century). Considering some corners cut on the series in general (especially the first season), it's a minor gripe which just can be chalked up to an inconsequential oversight which doesn't really matter or hold any deeper meaning. But considering Kirinmaru already exists in the present present day (modern Tokyo, Japan that's presumably around the same year as ours where Towa was living with Sota) in some form in some alter ego/disguise or separate entity carved off from his own body or consciousness (like Riku) - the teacher from Towa's private school - it doesn't seem totally implausible or impossible that he already gained this ability that Rion was warning the gang about this episode. But if he already gained the ability or exists in the future...is it really something which can be prevented in the present (1500s feudal age present)...due to the mechanics of time travel everything can be happening concurrently and it's very unclear. |

The sword attacks for example, looks more like DBZ attacks married with Naruto jutsus. The story feels very loosely connected, it feels very episodic and unconnected sometimes. The villains look a lot cartoon-ish when compared to the ones in Inuyasha. Overall, as a standalone anime, Yashahime could've been okay, but as a sequel to Inuyasha it just sucks. |

Ah, I see what you mean. I agree. I’m a die hard Inuyasha fan but Yashahime definitely doesn’t live up to its predecessor. I can’t get over the shitty villains as well. Those random ogre demons were cringe. |
| My god, this show is getting worse by the minute. I'm still rooting for Kirinmaru. |

Elior21 said: aoishiteru said: at least he is good dad cutting rin butterfly in order for setsuna to sleep even if it puts rin on time limit againsesshomaru sucks yashahime sucks didnt ask and i dont care |
| So Sesshomaru....you aren't winning husband of the year either. Why release the curse? To give your kid a time limit? |
 |
| Nice Setsuna can finally sleep again, Towa's reaction was hilarious. |
 |
| Soooo Towa gets her power-up plus learns how to play a flute ? Along with Setsuna and her violin, I wonder if Moroha's going to get a weapon upgrade plus an instrument too. I'm calling it now, this show is building upto to the girls forming a band called the Half-Demon Princesses and saving the world with the power of music and family. |
| Nice, Rion is here to stay. I was hoping Towa would kiss Riku. I wonder how Kirinmaru would've reacted to that. |
| I kinda like those 3 chara.. They r unique n not bad.. IK the power they had is OP and OP so fast w/o progress, but the story keep my interest.. And I liked the ED song too, kinda cool and fit for those 3 👍 |
 |
| So mahou shoujo have katanas now. |
 |
| Rion is already dead?! I bet it was Kirinmaru's fault. That's why he felt guilty and kept her daughter's spirit instead of letting her go. Anyone would be sick of sticking with their parent for 600 years... Kirinmaru wants to make a "Degenerate Age"? Seeing the state of the world now, I think he won. I thought Rion would become a permanent member of the Yashahime group but guess not. Too bad, she could've spiced up the main cast. She's a lot like Kikyo, her physical body is already dead but her soul is still hanging on an artificial body out of resentment toward someone who wronged her in the past. Towa got a new weapon I guess. What she really needs is a new personality. She's still bland but I guess there's a small improvement from Season 1. Daddy Sesshomaru got rid of Setsuna's insomnia by killing the dream butterfly. But as a result, Rin is in massive danger. If I were him, I wouldn't trust my 14 yo daughters so much. The next episode looks fun. |
| Sesshomaru: "I'll do everything to save Rin. But I'll be as vague as possible with my daughters, who should do all the work, so the risk of Rin dying is as high as possible." Genius! |
| Sesshomaru really just cut the dream butterfly and put Rin's life on the line. Aside from restoring Setsuna's ability to sleep and dream, I guess it's to get his daughters and nephew to get more of a sense of urgency and further motivation to save Rin. |
