#don't get me started on how damn OP Towa is

[bonesgadh]

The problem of using original characters as bait for a sequel and why I think that, so far, Yashahime is not doing it right.

When you are planning a sequel I understand the need to use the original characters to get people interested in the new story, especially if the original is very popular and close to a lot of people’s hearts. Inuyasha is very special to me because I have been a fan since I was five years old and it has helped me through many difficult moments in my life, and I know it is special to a lot of people as well. 

 From the moment Yashahime got announced they stated the story would be about the three girls. However, the reason why virtually every single fan I saw on social media were asking themselves: “okay, but where are the originals?” was because of a very simple reason: they wanted you to wonder where they were literally from day one. Moroha’s bio straight-out said she was Inuyasha and Kagome’s daughter but that she didn’t remember them because she had grown up alone. 

I’m gonna use two examples I’m familiar with to try to explain myself: Harry Potter and Star Wars.

Let’s imagine The Cursed Child never existed and that they do a movie sequel to Harry Potter instead. If they don’t show Harry, Ron and Hermione in the trailer, the obvious question among the fans would be: “where are they?” It wouldn’t matter if they already stated that the story will have new protagonists and a new plot, you only care about seeing them again because they are the characters you are familiar with. Also if they hint that their kids grew up alone and that they don’t remember their parents, you would immediately ask yourself what happened to them. It is narrative 1.0.

Even though I hated The Cursed Child, Rowling knew the Harry Potter fandom very well. There’s no doubt whatsoever that Albus and Scorpius were the main characters in Cursed Child, but we still got the golden trio in a supporting role aiding the new protagonists without stealing the spotlight. 

Now, moving on to Star Wars: one of the main reasons why the sequel trilogy crashed and burned was because they failed to give a proper closure to the original characters. Luke was too OOC, Han was in The Force Awakens only because they begged Harrison Ford to appear, and Carrie’s unexpected death got in the way of giving Leia closure. Also fans will never forgive them for not giving us at least one moment of the original three together. My guess is people in charge of the sequels hoped the new characters would be strong enough to carry the story on their own, which kinda failed because their stories weren’t consistent through the trilogy and the shadow of the original trio was too powerful.

If I had to guess, I would say the people in charge of Yashahime made the same mistake. They hoped fans would fall in love with the three girls and that they would be strong enough to carry the sequel to a story as famous as Inuyasha. Don’t get my wrong, I really like the girls, but I don’t love them the same way I loved the Inugang. And I know it is not a competition, but let’s be honest: you can’t help but compare every single detail, from the music to the characters. I don’t know if it’s a script issue, but if every single episode your fans end up asking themselves: “cool, but where is the original group?” you are not doing a good job at writing strong characters than can carry the weight of a sequel on their backs.

Three weeks ago we were fucking baited with that teaser of Miroku because they knew we would go batshit crazy, and they only gave us like two seconds without proper context. That same episode we got a brief mention of Sango and a flashback to an episode of Final Act. Since then, silence. Shippo hasn’t been seen or mentioned at all, and neither have Kin’u and Gyokuto. Now, if there’s nothing wrong with them and it turns out they are just chillin’ by the beach, then why the need of teasing us? They clearly wanted us to go crazy because of all the mystery and that is just mean.

Same goes for Sessrin shippers. I don’t ship that pair by any means; however, even I am annoyed by all the hints and teasing that screams at you that Rin is the mother but the people in charge didn’t have the balls to confirm it from the start. I hate when they tease fans and use us to get high ratings in order to make a reveal that IS SO DAMN OBVIOUS. I mean, SHE IS THE ONE INSIDE THAT DAMN TREE!!!

I kept telling myself “don’t freak out, we are only 2/3/4/5/6/7 episodes in.” Also Yashahime will have 24 episodes and if they are following the classic structure it means we already saw the first third of the story, a.k.a the set-up. BUT this is also a red flag for them. The fans are pissed off and even those of us who were like “guys, chill out. There’s no way they will reveal something important so soon” are getting impatient and mad af. 

In conclusion I like the show and I will continue to watch it, but I sincerely hope the second third of the story improves and they stop rushing shit for the sake of it. Also that they make these girls a bit vulnerable, I’m tired of them being so damn strong (I already ranted about this last week).

#I only mentioned their horrible handling of the OG characters #don't get me started on how damn OP Towa is #like gurl #Inuyasha and Kagome unlocked their powers as the episodes and seasons went by #Towa is doing super powerful shit out of thin air and destroying apparently powerful demons #yashahime #meta #inuyasha

How they ruined Inuyasha/Yashahime pt. 2

☆Turning a badass Character like Sango in just....Miroku' Wife

☆Kagome still being Useless? She showed up to battle with Moroha with no bow and arrows... like why Kagome.

☆ Kagome still being referred as Kikyo Reincarnation

☆the Terrible Fight scenes that last what? 2 minutes max?

☆the Space Yokai... ion get it lmao They built.it up like it was so strong... and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru took it out with 2 moves....

☆Towa being OP for nooooo damn reason! Towa has no prior training yet she defeating demons left and right. Yet they made sure to show Kagome lack of training very evident.

☆Inconsistencies. More so amongst the fandom.. " Its the feudal Era. It was normal back then. Because people died early" 🥲🥲😪😪 God help me on this one...

ALSO INUYASHA: Has a bunch of old people running around in the show. Kaede seemingly being the oldest

1) It wasn't as common as you think.

2) Inuyasha is so far from accurate. There's literal demons in this show and magical swords and Weapons...

3)If its so common, then why hasn't Sango already been married off by the time she was introduced. Or why don't Kohaku have a wife yet. Or Hisui.. Or Sangos Daughters( this may be true or not. It hasn't been shown)

4) Of you do a little research like people tell me. You'll know why it wasn't common and why it happened when it did

☆Had the audacity to make an episode showing the "horror" of Tamano situations. Amd the hoard of men coming after her at 13.

The next episode revealed Rin as the Mother....I 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ and Based on what I calculated Shes about 15/16.

☆Also Neither of Sango's daughters are demon slayers?

☆Don't get me started on the Animations cause the amount of terrible scenes is ridiculous considering they suppose to be a professional company

☆Miroku being the only one that ages...

☆REUSING OLD CHARACTER DESIGNS and PLOTS

☆Story having so many plot holes and not making any sense!

☆They didn't even Age Rin up she literally has the exact same face at 8 plus an extra Eyelash.

☆Also Rin laying there in plank formation as if she can't move her arms! She wasn't even holding her babies! Wtf! And even when sesshomaru came and Took them.... she didn't do anything just moved her head. Everyone else said something Except the mother!!

☆Inuyasha facing the tree in The promo Poster??? Why?! Rin is in there....

☆Also Rin being in the tree makes no sense. She has no link to this damn tree!

☆Jaken saying he'll take care of the twins in Rin's place

1) Jaken HATED watching Rin now he's just happy to watch her twins as well too?

2) Contradicted himself later saying He'll bring Rin through the barrier.

☆ Towa not having her human night until she was in the Feudal Era.

☆ There's no development in the characters they've been the same since Ep. 1... no new moves nothing...

☆Everyone being so damn clueless!

☆People using a chart saying Rin was 17 but also want me to believe Hisui suppose to be between 5-7 but he can barely walk. Ummm no!

☆The so-called clues and mystery and "shock" about who the mother is. It was nonexistent. O was more intrigued the theories Antis came up with! But I should've know Sunrise or whoever wasn't clever enough to do all that lmao

☆Kagome supposedly suppose to be pregnant. When Rin gave birth? B*tch where?!

☆Sango and Miroku twins... the design of one of the twins is literally just same kid head on a woman body... I just lmao ugh! I'm sorry but she look so stupid with her hair cut. Cause she look like she a grown woman that don't wanna grow up

☆Inconsistencies of Hair colors... Setsuna hair was black then brown then back to black. Towas hair turns black during the new moon... but Rins hair is Brown...

☆Once again the FUCKING RED STREAK?!! WHY!?!?! Towa didn't loose it during the new moon. So it's not demonic but it's also not from Rin. Soo whyyyyyyy?!?!!

☆Sesshomaru walking and taking the twins without a word to Rin. Pissed me off.

☆MF had the audacity to use a Sesskagu moment in the beginning of the Opening. ( Moment when Sesshomaru says " i get to decide whether she died in vain...")

☆ Inuyasha series made it adamant that for Sesshomaru to grow he he needed to be great on his own and become separate from his father.. then Yashahime comes around and Makes him almost exactly as his father....

☆Sesshomaru Denouncing his title...why

☆Sesshomaru going with Kirinmaru to fight Inuyasha and Kagome then suddenly seals them in a pearl... it makes no sense

☆Hisui not liking his father then suddenly okay with him at the end of the episode

☆Miroku being such a coward and running??

☆Zero saying she heard a rumor that Sesshomaru had half demon twins but they had just been born......

☆Hisui suppose to be pushing 5 when The twins were born but he look 2/3 and can barely walk lmao

JUST TERRIBLE. ILL Add more. When I think of it lmao

Part of me wanna keep watching cause I know they'll mess up even more
