Yashahime

She WAS 18 when she went back permanently. She got stuck in her era for three years, was able to go through and complete high school, and what's 3+15? 18!! So there you are.

I meant all the demons and half-demons. Why aren't they alive?

^ Never mind that. Remember that demons, including half demons, age a lot slower than humans. Can you imagine Kagome and Inuyasha together 40 or 50 years from now?

Sure., Just stuff her soul in a clay pot and have her eat other people's souls. Worked pretty well last time.

Yes, I agree. My main gripe is with the fact I didn't see a relationship, but having kids/getting married at 15 in a medieval setting is really not surprising, especially when there's precedent for it in the show already!

Especially when you consider that in a medieval setting they would be dead by the age of 20, or at least 25 or 30, from plague or whatever. Girls in those days had to start child bearing early, or else the race would die out.

It wasn't so much about the "race" as it was about maintaing the capacity to produce able-bodied laborers. Late medieval/early-early modern peasant families had about 5-6 children on average, usually aiming for a mixture of boys and girls. The males would become agricultural laborers or, if they were lucky, servants/warriors for the local lords. The females would take up most of the domestic labor, and also serve as a mean of reproducing the next generation of laborers and child bearers. Funnily enough, from this perspective, Inuyasha severely underestimates the number of children! Anyone birthing two twin girls would certainly be trying again for male offspring. I suppose Sango and Mirokou were at least trying to get there lol. It's funny that we never see any families with more than 3-4 children throughout all of Inuyasha when families with 10-12 children would've been pretty common, from parents whose mothers wouldn't have been much older than their early 20s.



I'm well aware it's just an old TV show btw, I just like History

For the same reason farm families in the US during the Great Depression also had large families. It was cheaper than hiring workers and money was short.

I'm only two episodes in (Toonami), but it seems to focus on Sesshomaru's girls more even though the title led me to think it's about Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter. I'll have to change that way of thinking real quick. Towa is for sure the tomboy of the series and I rather like her style. I love that they brought back the bone eater demon again just like in the first episodes of the original series. I hope it goes well and turns into another epic saga like its predecessor.

I've watched the first 14 episodes on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Toonami. So far, not bad. It is entertaining. Although I wonder why they make Moroha such a joke. You would think Inuyasha's daughter would be emphasized more and perform more heroics than Sesshomaru's daughters. Moroha is basically useless.

Any chance of a yuri relationship?

I watched the Season 2 trailer. Interesting. By the way, it got an English dub? When did that happen?

Probably just before it came to Adult Swim Toonami.

Honestly where are al the demons in the modern times? That mask with the shikon jewel fragment was in kagome's attic. Inuyasha spent 50 years pinned to a tree. Gods know how old Miyoga is. Sesshomaru, his mom... you'd think some of them would be around to check on the kids when they popped out of the well 500 years in the future.


Why aren't any of them around NOW?!
