"Sesshomaru is not Rin's dad. Jaken is the one who really acts like her father figure"

Jaken:

"This damn brat, she never shuts up. Also why does Sesshomaru-sama bring along this little human girl? It's past time she was gotten rid of" Manga 157.

Yeah, that's totally a great father figure 🙄 I don't understand why anyone would see Jaken as Rin's father when he was rude, mean and even cruel to her throughout the entire Inuyasha series. So I thought I would make a brief compilation of scenes to see how wonderful Jaken was with Rin.

Chapter 259, Chapter 417: "Dolt", "fool", "stupid", "damn brat" are some of the ways Jaken calls Rin.

Chapter 260. This is a good example of what most of Jaken's interactions with Rin are based on:

He shows over and over again that he cares for Rin only because he fears that Sesshomaru will scold him if anything happens to her, not because he genuinely cares about her. Chapter 252:

And anime Jaken is not better than his manga version. Episode 96:

Rin: "I'm hungry"

Jaken: "Quiet, Rin! A forest like this will have nothing for you to eat. Just bear it!"

It's Sesshomaru himself who has to step in to tell Jaken to let her go get food. And It's funny how some people think Sesshomaru isn't a father figure to Rin because he tells her to look for food, but they do think Jaken is a great father when he doesn't give af about Rin being hungry 🙄

In fact, some of the meanest things said to Rin are said by Jaken himself. Episode 162:

Rin: "what will I do in Lord Sesshomaru's empire?"

Jaken: "You intend to follow us all the way there?"

He proceeds to tell her that she will be dead by then before falling asleep, leaving Rin very distraught and showing once again that he doesn't really care what happens to her. If this is your supposed daughter and she wants to know what role she plays in your future I don't think this is the way to answer her. At the end of the episode it is Sesshomaru (Rin's true father figure) who tells her, in his own way, that she is important to him and he will never forget her.

And yes, when she is revived for the second time, Jaken cries and (even when he says that he only does it for Sesshomaru) I do believe that Jaken came to like Rin in some way, but that just isn't enough to erase all his bad behavior towards her and it's definitely not enough to make him a wonderful father figure. Finally, this new Yashahime version of Jaken where he is so worried and loves Rin so much is totally Out of Character like all the other Iy characters in Yashahime.

#anti sessrin #anti yashahime #jaken is not Rin's dad #iy manga #this has been in my drafts for months and i better post it before hny ends #I don't completely hate Jaken but he has been very cruel to Rin and I just love Rin so much #Sesshomaru is Rin's father figure
