Inuyasha Chapter 374 - Tumblr Posts

This chapter just feels so much heartbreaking in its beauty.

Did you notice Takahashi's use of images and onomatopeias? The way we can hear that "BOMP" of Kagura's heart as she sees Sesshomaru? To think that the very first thing she's felt through that so much wanted heart of hers just after got it was pain, and pain alone, physically and emotionally, and yet now she finally is able to feel something good, like a tiny light within warming her.

Naraku once again meant to prove his point that the lives of the weakest are meaningless. At least this time he could not win.

I would write pages upon pages about this chapter alone, maybe some day.

Also, please have a look at THIS COVER, THIS TITLE 💔😭

Oh my God 😭 that thought of yours was so well conceived! Yes! Of course Kagura being seen for what SHE is just means for her to be free.

And yes, there are many clues of a bond between Sesshomaru and Kagura and yet people will deminish Sesshomaru’s feelings for her. I’m not even implying that she is his big love, for whatever it is that Sesshomaru feels still is in germ, but, let’s be serious, you can’t say that it's nothing.

Probably the thing is that you keep in mind his strong reaction at Rin's second death, thus making this less outstanding, but those same feelings Sesshomaru expresses openly in that moment are the result of a growth of his character during the whole course of the story, a growth in which Rin of course is his North Star (I hate to have to specify it, but please don't take this romantically, bc IT'S NOT that), but she's not its only reason.

I mean, here he looks so sad.

However poetic it is to think of Kagura becoming the free wind, I’m not really able to move on from that “Even Tenseiga can’t save her”. Why? Explain at least, those words keep me up at night! Watching the anime I had the feeling that she simply had enough of it all, but somehow the manga sounds different, although that could be due to some translation differences (?)

And no, I don’t think she should die as to atone her sins either. Sesshomaru’s are even greater for that matters, though we are fine with him still hanging around. (I know that Takahashi’s original plan actually was for him to die saving Rin or whoever was the character she had in her mind back then, and well… I’m glad she didn’t do that!).

P.S. That pic is from an ending, but I can't remember which episode.
