Friendly Reminder: TRASHAHIME WAS JUST A WHAT IF

Friendly reminder: TRASHAHIME WAS JUST A WHAT IF

The one drawing the manga version, Takashi Shiina had tweeted:

And not even Rumiko Takahashi opposed those tweets certainly because they were valid.

Inuyasha originally ended for good in 2008 and Takahashi never planned a sequel, as she tends to just move to another manga, leaving the fans to make their own headcanons/fanfictions/fanarts of how it would continue.

It was the anime producer Suwa Michihiko who, about 10 years after it ended, unreasonably demanded a continuation and rather than trying to come up with something that most fans would most likely be ok with like they claimed, the Sunrise staff took the liberty of writing something that would fit their own biases, not really taking into consideration the fandom.

Which is why it’s technically Sunrise’s own vision of the future and no one is under any obligation to accept it as how Inuyasha “officially” continues and drop or modify their own visions of the future.

And even if Takahashi was involved anyhow and were to say anything like she approves Trashahime as how Inuyasha continues, you don’t seriously imagine her demanding everyone to consider Trashahime and Sessrin as canon. And if she was actually that kind of person, well it’s not correct for an author who works to please readers to impose something that is not to the liking of those who loved her original work and it also wouldn’t be smart because she’d lose the support and respect of many of her fans.

Either way, with all the absurdities and inconsistencies it features, it can in fact hardly work as how Inuyasha continues.

Kagura: Why are you crying? Today is your wedding. You don’t love Kohaku, do you?

Rin: No, I love him. But… but I don’t want to leave Dad and you, Mom…

Kagura: Oh my little girl…

How can someone say such a thing with great joy? Who wouldn’t want to find a way to return to his/her caring adoptive family?

“Sessrin best parents ever”, yeah sure

On the other hand:

Now that’s a good parent.

“Inukag best parents ever” indeed

Some sesskagu commissioned by @neutronstarchild! Thank you so much for being so supportive and patient with me once again 😭😭 Based on her very lovely fic The Wandering Feather (AO3). Please give it a read if you haven't!

Please do not repost. Thank you!

Thank you for the Sesskaguweek. Why not do a Kohrinweek as well?

CANON Rin was kind and she cared about other people: She was worried for Kagura, even though she didn't even know her, her empathy made her realize that Kagura was lonely:

Rin was even sad just because she couldn't properly say goodbye to Kohaku, and she was also worried about his safety, cause he would have to fight demons:

And when she understood that Kagura was in danger, she definitely worried about her and tried to save her:

And this is Yashahime non-canon Rin: I can't believe that, when it comes to her own "daughters", she DGAF about their safety and she's even happy to know they're in danger. I genuinely don't understand how they thought the most logical behavior for Rin in such a situation would be this:

🤨 Seriously, who the hell is this character?? The only thing I know for sure is that this is NOT Rin 🤷‍♀️
