When The Reveal Happened, I Cried Myself; I Was Upset...ugly Tears And All. Although I Didn't Grow Up

When the reveal happened, I cried myself; I was upset...ugly tears and all. Although I didn't grow up on Inuyasha, I still enjoyed the series immensely the years I've been watching it; the whole reveal thing (I still don't believe is true) brought me to a place where I was always seeing this kind of thing in anime and/or media...underage girls with grown men. That thought made my heart hurt so much and it still does.

Regarding this show, I take comfort in knowing it's NOT a sequel of our beloved Inuyasha; they are not allowed to call it a Sequel. Even the writer of the manga proclaimed it a What If...it isn't relevant to IY.

Being part of the anti group, following people who feel the same as me is an added comfort; they provide such awesome theories and do mega research that points to the big reveal as not what it appears to be. Although in the beginning I still would cry and get upset, I learned to treat this show as if I were reading a fanfiction...that's what it is anyway. Not that I would read anything with that ship, but I cleanse myself after each episode by watching or reading Inuyasha....the real canon story.

There are no words I can say that could help you...I'm sorry, but it's a process like all things; you have to cry, get angry and feel this pain until you realize this show is nothing. It's not affiliated with Inuyasha and it never will be.

I hope you feel better. 🥰

(same person from last ask) I've been texting my friends about this and we're all shocked and heartbroken. this has been official for two years???!!! WHAT THE FUCK! looking through the images of the new show and I can't believe how baby she looks!!! we're all crying, srs. holy shit. I didn't know when I woke up this morning my whole childhood would be ruined like this. ACTUALLY crying. I found this blog through tags and im sorry for spamming you, kind stranger. thank you for responding.

Oh no!! Ugh you poor thing 😩

You've caught us at the end of two very long, very exhausting years in this hell-fandom, so most Antis in the tags are desensitised and jaded, but back when the reveal happened, we reacted just like you! I remember the slew of shocked posts and the amount of fans saying their childhood was tainted. Sesshomaru fans were devastated 😩 Most of us grew up with Inuyasha, so the character assassination in HNY hit us hard.

Fellow Antis, if you have anything to say that might help this poor Anon, feel free to chime in!

why are we taught that the best love we can get is romantic love? finding our soulmate. why is that our uncouncious purpose in life?

we are ignoring small loves

loving the stars. loving the wind. the songs played by birds in the forest. the rainbow. the waves. the moment we realize we drew a smile on a stranger's face. or when we feel understood. listening to our favorite song as we dance in the rain. standing in silence with a person we feel most comfortable with and realizing words aren't everything...

"love is everywhere". that's what we should hope to find.

Although the entirety of HNY disgusts me, today's episode was a bit more jarring to my senses. The fact that Sesshomaru orders Rin around and she obeys; the fact he said "Rin...come" and she just followed...wtf is that?

Also, the fact she stood by the tree (as he ordered) and stood there watching him; always muttering Sesshomaru -Sama. It made me sick because it's like he was using her to make a point to Kirinmaru.

They literally made her a submissive person; she didn't move or do anything without his permission. She has no identity, so purpose but to please her 'sama'; is this how so called regal wives acted towards their husband's back in the day. Say nothing and stay in the background quietly until the husband orders you to move?

Her personality, as we all know, is the same as in the OG; she worships this daiyoki who can do no wrong. She will go through hell for him and not out of love; someone please explain this to me.

If they paired him with anyone else would they do the same? Why did he have to be with anyone to begin with? Why couldn't he just adopt these 2 girls?

Damn!! Is this supposed to be a role model for young girls? Submit to your husband's because they know what's best; I couldn't stand seeing her like that. I kind of wished Rin had died just to avoid her being seen like this; it's insulting and a disgrace.

Please, let this show and that pathetic manga burn! 😡

I was scrolling through the Reddit comments under that topic of Rin being depicted as a servant to Sesshomaru; man, I was cracking up. The majority of these crazy people using "historical depictions" as an excuse; saying since Sesshomaru is a Lord that's how wives acted during that time so it's a accurate depiction. I couldn't read anymore, it was so pathetic; that's their only excuse...historically accurate for the wife of a lord? Give me a break 😒

A Moment with You

He was always in her heart, but she wondered whether she was in his; she was the wind so could go anywhere, but she always went to the same field. The mass of white flowers danced in her breeze as she passed by; on the same day, every year she would find him. He would sit in the spot, still stained slightly from her blood; her shapeless form would go near him, kissing his face with her breeze. Her heart skipped whenever he smiled and whispered her name; tears would fall down her face as well as she held out her hand to caress his cheek. She wanted to be with him forever.

Kagura was the wind goddess; free to go where she pleased, but the high Gods knew her heart ached for something.

HG: You seem melancholy

Kagura: It is nothing my Lord

HG: You have returned to that spot many times; on the same day.

Kagura: Yes (she said softly)

HG: You have not let him go

Kagura: I can't (she turned away, tears falling from her eyes)

The High Gods feel the pain from her; a bright being positions themselves across from her. Feeling the warmth of their presence, she faces them; no facial features could be seen and the brightness didn't hurt her crimson eyes.

HG: Wind Goddess Kagura; on the day you left the earth, we granted you this high honor for the sins you atoned for. You accepted your life, but why when you still yearn to be earth bound?

Kagura: I...didn't think anything could be done...I mean...my body is gone.

HG: Wind Goddess (what felt like a hand touched her shoulder), what is your wish?

She was surprised by the question; dare she ask? Could she?

Kagura: I...I want to be with him; can I return?

HG: Your place is here among the Gods now Kagura; however, we can grant you one day with him every year.

Kagura: I'LL TAKE IT!

She apologized quickly, her cheeks blushing from embarrassment.

The following year, Sesshomaru returned to the spot he frequents to think of Kagura; only this time, as he entered the field he saw a familiar outline. A woman with a high, short ponytail was kneeling in the same spot Kagura died in; she faced him, a fan in one hand.

Kagura: Yo

🥰🥰

To be continued?

When he says "I knew it was you"....my God it gets me everytime....so soft and sad his voice was. 😢

Kagura and Sesshomaru dialogue - InuYasha the final Act episode 2

Kagura: It’s quiet… There is nobody. Is this the end? Alone… This is the freedom I sought… [sigh] …Sesshomaru…

Sesshomaru: I followed the scent of blood and miasma.

Kagura: [laugh] I see, you thought it was Naraku. Are you disappointed that I’m not Naraku?

Sesshomaru: I knew it was you.

Kagura: [sigh] Even thought…you came?

Sesshomaru: [thought “Even Tenseiga cannot save her.”]

Sesshomaru: Are you leaving?

Kagura: Yes… It’s enough.

Kagura: [thought “I saw you… one last time”]
