| If you were in his position, taking in a child, watching it grow up and raising it, would you actually be able to see it in a romatic light? Or not even romantic but sexual? Just the fact that he has children, does not mean he had feelings for the mother. Especially because he just took the twins after their birth and basically abandoned them in a forest as a test. But also age-wise, it would just be wrong if Rin were the mother. In Hanyou no Yashahime we encountered both, Kohaku and Hisui, where we can kind of calculate Rin's age when the twins were born. In my opinion Hisui looks like he's 15-17 years old at most, which means the twins were born 1-3 years after his birth. We know from the final act that at the time of Hisui's birth, Rin was 11 years old. So people really trying to say a 12-14 year old child gave birth to Sesshoumaru's kids? Or that Sesshoumaru even dared to have intercourse with a human child of this age? If it actually gets confirmed that Rin is supposed to be the mother, I really don't know what to think of the people who thought of this bullshit. |

LoneWolf said: Hikaru Genji approves of it and Genji Monogatari is a Japanese classic, so it's all fine and dandy.but like ethically its kinda weird cause Sesshy like raised her. |
| Well......? It's pretty much all but spelt out that Rin is the mother of Towa & Setsuna. Rin's age isn't an issue but Sesshomaru going there with her doesn't make sense with is character. There better be an episode all about why in a 6 years gap, he would change enough to go there with someone who was more like family to him (and then apparently abandon his kids in the forest). |
| The only issue I have with it is her Age. The anime mention that the accident that separated them from their kids took a place 15 years, so basically roughly a year after Kagome came back to the Sengoku era which would make Rin 11 - 12 at the time of having her twins since Hisui doesn't look that much older than them. which sound ridiculous. Some time travel is possibly involved. But yeah it's Rin more than likely. Japan doesn't really care for the west "but she like his daughter tho" aspect of things since they literally a cultural story about a man raising a girl to his wife. Still surprising that he is actually willing to have sex with a human and have kids though. |

I guess we should blame their father for this then lol. |
| I will laugh like hell because I want to see all the SJW babies CRYYYYYYYYYYYY xD so hilarious how mad people get about cartoons nowadays, idn't it? Sesshoumaru IS. A. YOUKAI. Do you think he gives two fucks about human ethics? Hell, the humans in FEUDAL JAPAN don't seem to give them either; people married their blood-siblings in the Heian period.... |

Because they're not THAT stupid. I don't think you know what "grooming" is. You are not applying it correctly. "Child abuse" WHERE?? If you mean "violence against children", every anime with action in it is guilty. Don't act like an idiot. If America didn't cancel Game of Thrones for incest and rape, they sure as hell won't cancel Yashahime lol. |

Tamakisuhoeee said: Ot drives me crazy when people say he's a father to her or that he raised her. Sesshomaru did NOT raise Rin. They traveled together for MAX 1 year then she stayed with Kaede. Fans usually get confused with the timeline since we grew up with the show, but she did not grow up with him. He never provided her food or shelter nor did he guide her through life or teach her anything. She did whatever she wanted, even joining them on the journey was HER choice. All he did was protect her. They did not have romantic feelings for each other during their journey, that would've been weird, BUT they do love each other. They are the most important being to one another. He literally doesn't care about anyone but her (or at least not nearly the same amount) and she has great respect for him. It makes perfect sense that they would eventually end up together. Sesshomaru despised humans before Rin and even after everything he still didn't really like them. If he married some other random human it would make no sense with his character. And demons age differently than humans so the "age gap" is really a nonissue. If you have an issue with Sesshomaru and Rin then yall better have an issue with Inuyasha and Kagome because Inuyasha is technically wayyy older than Kagome. Very well said, so quoted for emphasis. |
HE DID IT! THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN MARRIED THE LOLI! My new fave character |

Deknijff said: man is still funny people mad Rin could get Sesshoumaru to get physical with her when she old enough to have kids down the line when she older But they cool with Inuyasha x Kagome when he like 200 years old and she 18 only after time skip  I think they are mad because Rin was still a child in the prequel. The image of Rin as a child hanging around Sesshomaru makes them look like a parent or child (rather than lovers). Although Rin has already grown up by now. Kagome was already in high school by the time she meets Inuyasha. That's when they discover she looks a lot like Kikyo (who she is the reincarnation of). But pairing Sesshomaru with a random new female character was unlikely too for the producers. Well Japanese anime culture doesn't really stress as much with incest, and underage romances. They make quite a lot of anime with it. |
Leronera said: i hate loli shit as much as most people but this is not that. this franchise has always focused on historical mysticism from japan and attempting to make the social aspect of the feudal era a part of it. it's pretty evident he didn't help raise her just to marry her and have kids with her, the relationship quite clearly changed over time. Is there anything that suggested he groomed her just to marry her, when his relationship with her was nothing more than looking up to him as a king to defend in the original series? Takao_Bl00driver said: For me, "grooming" is just western word. Couldn't care less over some western concept. You can just pretend this sequel doesn't exist. Stay healthy and don't get mental issue just because some anime show. im an arab not a western and grooming is actually a thing that exists all over the world it's not a concept its a sick behavior i dropped the show anyway but it's really sad cuz they ruined a pure relationship that i adored for more than 12 yrs Back on the historical aspect, her age was not at all rare for the time. Portraying that in a story set in the feudal era isn't weird at all. You're asking for what's essentially historical revisionism and pretending that this stuff wasn't happening back then. What we should do is acknowledge and show that younger relationships happened at that period of time, and come to terms with it in a way that we prevent it from happening in the modern era. Simple, easy. This isn't loli fetish crap. |

| @Tsuyu_no_Inochi, well you two? |
| so your now dragging religious people beliefs for a fucking ship?? do you know anything about japans history or in general mother around the world or even basic fucking biology cause your entire post screams no. Life expectancy was lower yes, cause of famines, war and infant morality not cause people would just croak really young if they were otherwise healthy. You might wanna check out Susan B. Hanley, a japanologist and professor for history she wrote an interesting piece on women in feudal japan and surprise most of them had their kids after 20. Furthermore are you really this uneducated? Teens are more fertile and survived birth more? Are you dense? Teen pregnancies are incredibly risky and if not for modern medicine would and do result in the deaths of the baby and/or mother. Literally just google it. So no it wasn't more common since those women would have died. I am extremely fed up with the “historical accuracy” discourse. This is a fantasy series written and promoted by real people on today’s day and age, so whatever is represented does not really speak of historical facts, but our own values and views. We are responsable for how we portray certain things in media and stories, specially those targeted at young people. Media is much more than entertainment at a certain age, stories have been used during ages as a way of educating and transmiting values, which not different now. It is totally unfair to project these fantasies on certain historical periods and/or cultures, because ultimately, if these stories are written right now is to catter actual tastes and preferences. Yashahime is ultimately a symptom of a real life problem that affects real life children. It is not its worst manifestation but it still is based on the same beliefs that sustent pedophilia. Honestly, I wasn't going to touch this topic again, but I saw this. Finally, a sound argument based on facts. You are a true treasure. Repeat... " We are responsible for how we portray certain things in media and stories, especially those targeted at young people.

Takao_Bl00driver said: There is no one who force you to continue whatch it or stop you to drop it. Ah... the classic self-defeating response, but I have taken your advice. Hanyou no Yashahime - DROPPED, as of episode 13. Would have done so before, but waited to see my old favorites Miroku and Sango, and was disappointed as hell, even more so than I already was. |
we finally got 100% confirmation the ship real yo🙏 Hope as the season goes on though we will see them interact because Im interested in seeing how Sesshomaru acts with Rin now when their love is so strong they have sex with each other |

IzumiNoa said: Well, it sure is funny to see that much butthurt over a simple anime couple lol It sure is. It's funnier that people don't realize Rin is around 17 when she has the twins, which is definitely not a huge deal in Feudal Japan. People are probably just upset over their parent-child ship sinking. It's like The Great NarutoxSakura Butthurt of 2017, all over again. The only thing that strikes me as weird is that she still refers to him as "Sesshoumaru sama". I guess it was a one night stand sort of thing, between them. |
| It's the usual thing when Westerns find something weird or unnerving, and Japan just show them the hand and be like "Whatever...". It was almost quite obvious Rin was going to be the mother/lover of Sesshoumaru, I mean who else would he have "get it on" with to have Towa and Setsuna? It's hilarious how people have made a big deal over this. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| calm down guys, they're not real |
