the writers kinda fucked up Sesshomaru’s character real bad in the sequel. like if I was prompted with “Sesshomaru marries rin and has kids” and needed to write his character I wouldn’t have made many of the choices that they made. Idk. The fact that he’s not around seems really strange esp since he let rin follow him everywhere when she was a kid despite the danger and interruptions to his plans. Like… rumiko takahashi showed him coming by just to visit and bearing gifts in the last chapter. Sure, I guess he’d be not around 24/7, but clearly he drops by frequently enough that nobody is shocked to see him. It seems fuckin bizarre to me that he would visit her a bunch as a kid but then fuck off when she literally gives birth to his children????

Like to be dead serious, I think it’s an awkward character choice for him to be with rin romantically in the first place since the entire series sets her up with Kohaku, but if you gotta have a trio of half demon siblings for the sequel, sure I get it, shoehorn it in so you have an interesting story to tell with new characters. That being said they could have done a better job writing him so that he reacts in character to the things happening to him. : / seeing how attentive he was to rin when she was travelling with him it makes legitimately zero sense for him to be be an absent father LMFAO
