Late last year, everyone’s favorite feudal fairy tale got a brand new chapter. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, the sequel to Rumiko Takahashi’s Inuyasha, came to streaming services around the world. And now, Toonami viewers will be able to meet Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha: the new generation of time-traveling half-demons.
If the Toonami airing will be your first watch, you’ve got an amazing ride ahead of you! We won’t spoil the roller coaster that’s the next generation of Inuyasha — but we can’t help but give you at least a little taste of what we loved, and what you have to look forward to.
So, what does Yashahime have in store for you?
FAMILIAR FACES… KIND OF
Make no mistake, Yashahime has its own stars, and those stars have their own story. But if you’re hoping for a look-in from Inuyasha and Kagome, you’ll absolutely get it. The very beginning of the series gives us a full episode taking place after Inuyasha‘s finale, giving us a little more context for what’s to come.
A few characters show up more regularly, though. Look forward to seeing Kirara, as well as an all-grown-up Kohaku. As for the rest… well, that would be telling.
