Sesshomaru

appearance

Humanoid form Unlike InuYasha, Sesshōmaru is a full-fledged yōkai. In his humanoid form, he has attractive features; he is quite tall at 1.90 m and has a thin but athletic body with a defined physique. His skin is a pale tone and his ears are pointed; his eyes, which are smaller in his adult age, are an amber color, and are slanted with slit pupils. He also has knee-length silver hair with short bangs. He has a purple crescent-shaped mark in the center of his forehead that can be seen below his bangs, two magenta stripes on each cheek and a magenta stripe on each eyelid, and two pairs of stripes on each arm near his wrists above the joint of his hands, which are permanent features on his skin. As a consequence of the skirmish with Inuyasha for control of Steel Fang, Sesshomaru loses his left arm, which he later regenerates during the confrontation against Magatsuhi once he could overcome his obsession with possessing said sword and manage to create Explosive Fang, a sword that is part of his body. Like Inuyasha, his canines are fangs (though they are usually not visible unless he transforms) and his fingernails are claws, though one notable difference from his brother is that his can secrete a corrosive venom. When Sesshomaru was younger, he possessed more feminine features and his eyes were large.

appearance

Attire Sesshōmaru's armor includes a spiked pauldron covering his left shoulder attached to the upper section of his cuirass and "lotus petal" tails. When damaged, the armor automatically regenerates. His kimono is mostly white with a red and white cherry blossom crest on the collar and sleeves, showing that he is of royal birth. He wears a sashinuki hakama that is gathered at the ankles, producing a "balloon" effect. His footwear consists of a pair of black armored ankle boots. He wears a yellow obi around his waist on which he carries Sacred Fang and Explosive Fang attached, although he previously carried Tokijin, a sword made from the fangs of the Naraku extension known as Goshinki and which was created by Totosai's banished student, Kaijinbo; on his right shoulder he wears a stole of thick white fur (Mokomoko) that is part of his body but is not the tail as was once thought. Its function comes to resemble that of a shield. In his youth, Sesshōmaru wore a slightly different outfit. His kimono was cream-colored and had purple leaf patterns on it, and he wore a blue belt.

appearance

His true form is that of a giant white-furred dog with long ears, his eyes have a red sclera and his pupils have a blue slit shape. His Mokomoko remains wrapped around his snout as if it were a leash; although it is very rare for him to take this form, since in it he releases all his power and does not find, in his opinion, anyone worthy of a fight that can be taken seriously. In his original form, Sesshomaru looks menacing, with the yōkai markings on his body widening and becoming more apparent, the stripes on his usually smooth cheeks becoming irregularly shaped and changing to a somewhat more ferocious color, and his mokomoko wrapping around his neck like a leash and extending across his entire body. He has only fully transformed into his yōkai form three times: Once during his battle with Inuyasha, resulting in the loss of his left arm, which sparked his resentment towards his brother, whom he considered inferior due to his human roots and for having been chosen by his father to inherit Steel Fang in his place; the second time when he met his mother, and the third during the battle against Magatsuhi. On this occasion Sesshomaru finally understands his late father's words and finally obtains his true strength which he himself was able to create, which manifests with the appearance of Exploding Fang and the subsequent regeneration of his left arm.

personality

Born of a great demonic bloodline, Sesshōmaru possesses a rare perfect power that many demons desire. Because of this, he was always calm and confident in his power, displaying a stoic, calm and calculating personality at almost all times. The only trait he did not inherit from his father was a fondness for humans, but this manifested itself later in his life. His calmness often kept his thoughts free of emotional influences. However, Sesshomaru shows a smile full of mischief when something catches his attention and interests him. At the beginning of the story, Sesshomaru was a little more expressive, being presented as someone arrogant when he was aware of his great power, disowning and belittling his half-brother Inuyasha for his human side.

personality

His air of aloofness and indifference was a product of the dignity that only one of those rare demonic powers could possess. Sesshōmaru was more or less emotionless, with only anger, annoyance, and dissatisfaction showing on his face. Because both his heart and body were strong, he had no desire to possess the Shikon Pearl, nor to conspire with allies. Sesshōmaru even responded sarcastically towards Naraku, who had taken on an air of brazenness due to his demonic power. In battle, he judged his enemy’s power level and attacked with the bare minimum of power necessary. Anyone in his path was considered an enemy that he would exterminate without hesitation. He did not hold back his power, even against women. He rationalized that all of his prey were equal, and defeated them. For someone with such pride in his power, cooperation was proof of weakness, and standing alone was a condition for the strong. Once he judged someone to be an obstacle, he would rush to kill them without hesitation. Sesshōmaru had a very inquisitive mind when there was something he cared about, but at the same time, he had almost no tenacity of purpose. If he became interested in something else, he would arbitrarily turn his back on what he was doing, even during battle. Much like his fighting style, he was quick to make decisions and act immediately.

personality

Sesshōmaru was obsessively proud of his father, Tōga, whom all demons were in awe of. Because he respected his bloodline so much, he despised Inuyasha and the latter's human mother, Izayoi. He insulted Naraku, who tried to harness Sesshōmaru's power. Anger welled up in his heart for not being able to use Steel Fang, the sword that could cut down a hundred demons and that had been left behind by his father. He resented Tōga for leaving Steel Fang in the hands of Inuyasha, whose power was weaker than his own. However, over time, Sesshōmaru came to understand why his father gave him Sacred Fang and put aside his dislike towards his half-brother, even showing great concern for him at rare moments. He refused to use Explosive Fang on Inuyasha when even Magatsuhi noted it was the obvious choice to make, and it was hinted that he actually cared for Inuyasha but refused to admit it when he was protecting him from Sō'unga and his "Whirlwind Dragon". Sesshōmaru had stated that he only sought to fight the strongest beings alive and how he had wanted to fight his father and defeat him. Sesshōmaru's love for his father was so great that even though he inherited the (at the time) useless Sacred Fang, he kept it around him for sentimental value. During the brief period it was stolen from him, he stated that Sacred Fang was not a sword he would miss if he lost it, if it were not for his father. [2]

personality

He used to have no feelings for anyone, but meeting several people, such as his brother Inuyasha, Naraku with his numerous proposals, and Rin, brought a change to his heart. After saving Rin and becoming a true owner of the Sacred Fang, he began to show feelings behind his ruthless and cruel words. He stopped Inuyasha's demonic rampage by controlling his power, and did so like an older brother reprimanding a younger brother, though he claimed that he would kill Inuyasha, despite his actions showing otherwise. There was even a time when Sesshōmaru was angry at Inuyasha for rampaging around his father's grave, but he set his sword aside, before striking him with just his fist. By setting his sword aside, Sesshōmaru showed that he was simply scolding Inuyasha for desecrating his father's grave, rather than attempting to hurt or kill his younger brother. Sesshōmaru didn't even hit him that hard, or Inuyasha would have been seriously injured. He even held back from killing Kohaku when he could have easily done so, when he looked into his eyes and saw emptiness and that he had given up on everything.

personality

Sesshōmaru genuinely cared for Rin and Jaken, and though he rarely showed it, he appreciated their loyalty. He originally greatly despised protecting the weak, seeing it as a waste of time. Unlike Tōga and Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru had trouble admitting that he had people to protect (Rin and Jaken), and out of pride, would never admit to doing so. Sesshōmaru's compassion for Rin was evident, but he preferred to hide it, because it would taint his pride. However, he did show his love and concern for her when she passed away for a second time due to her time in the Underworld. Sesshōmaru entered Hell in order to rescue her, but upon learning that he could not save her life, he felt defeated. When he realized that it was his drive to strengthen Sacred Fang that led them to hell and ultimately killed her, he threw the sword aside and said that if the sword gains power at the expense of Rin's life it meant nothing. However, when Sesshōmaru's mother revived Rin, he was greatly relieved. While he cares for her, he does not coddle her, making her fend for herself when she is hungry but keeps a close enough distance to come to her aid when needed. Aside from Rin, he has become more affectionate towards Jaken, whom he used to threaten to kill on a regular basis and treated like a slave if he failed to accomplish a certain task. Afterwards, while he would still beat Jaken whenever he annoyed him and force him to tag along even in dangerous situations, he would tell Jaken to stay back when facing an enemy that would endanger the imp if he was too close.

personality

When Kagura was injured, Sesshōmaru originally intended to leave her in the river she was drowning in, but when Rin tried to save her and Jaken followed Rin, Sesshōmaru pulled the three of them out of the river. He stayed there afterward and warned Kagura not to do anything that would get her killed. Later, however, before Kagura's death, Sesshōmaru sought her out and considered using Sacred Fang. She has also saved Inuyasha's friends on several occasions. On his way to Mount Souls, Sesshōmaru saved Kagome, Miroku and Sango from the poison master Mukotsu, one of the Shichinintai, but only claimed that he killed Mukotsu because he did not answer his questions. Another example was when Inuyasha and his companions were involved in a fight with the "water god" Numawatari; When Sesshōmaru arrived, he insulted Inuyasha's inability to kill a "low-life demon", and then easily defeated Numawatari using his ability Meidō Zangetsuha, and left immediately afterwards. Additionally, when Byakuya, the most recent incarnation of Naraku, was about to take Kohaku, who had one of the last three fragments of the Shikon Pearl, back to Naraku, Sesshōmaru appeared and cast a ranged Meidō Zangetsuha. Byakuya fled, claiming that he did not want to die and remarked that it was so unlike Sesshōmaru to save someone. From then on, Sesshōmaru seemed to have taken Kohaku under his wing, albeit in his typical begrudging way. Later, when Kohaku's fragment was contaminated by Magatsuhi, Sesshōmaru attempted to save Kohaku at the cost of a large wound on his arm.
