Chapter 13: "The Delicious Feudal Monks"

Hanyo no Yashahime The year ends with the appearance of the last of the four dangers, Totetsu, which monks like to devour with great power. Due to the excitement caused by their apparitions, the exterminators set out to protect the surrounding monks. While sharing the task, Kohaku asks his nephew to watch his father, Miroku. Hisui reluctantly agrees; He is accompanied by Towa and Setsuna.

Miroku is in the mountains doing a 1000 day training. There they coincide with Hisui's sister, who visited him. Then Totetsu, contrary to the assumptions of the boy, who sees his father as a coward, realizes her power and attacks her.

During the fight, Totetsu turns out to be a powerful enemy. Given the situation, Setsuna asks Miroku to release the seal of his demonic power. With the poison from his arm, they manage to attack him, but Kirinmaru's servant flees.

Elsewhere, Moroha waits in vain for Totesu to appear while protecting another monk.

The fan community of Inuyasha We had been waiting for him for 13 long weeks. Important characters from the cast of the previous saga have finally appeared: Miroku and Sango! Out of narrative coherence, they haven't told us too much to say next to nothing, but their appearance is a spark and a bridge with the past.

In reality, the public takes more doubts than answers. However, this is the dynamic of Hanyo no Yashahime;; that is, to drip the lost pieces of a puzzle that the audience and the protagonists have to solve together, adventure after adventure. In such an order, Miroku and Sango's reappearance had to be brief and conform to the optimistic and innocent vision of Towa, the main point of view in the plot. It is about giving naturalness to silence and doubts, which are considered secondary, because the protagonists fully live the present.

Meanwhile, we consume those of us who are conscious and crave characters into intrigue. Perhaps stoicism and Miroku's 1000-day training path are good medicine. Patience, the story won't be solved immediately.

Miroku and Sango, yesterday and today

The romance between Miroku and Sango blossomed like a discreet flower in the story of InuyashaBut at the zenith it gave us some of the most beautiful dramatic moments. Because of the monk's bad nature, it seemed unlikely at first; The depth of his tragedy and the curse of the wind tunnel (Kazaana) wrapped the characters in a subtle atmosphere in which the emotions grew. Eventually, from hugging to dying together, Sango and Miroku accomplished their love as a stable reality in which they had a family.

I've read comments on networks about how strange it was conceiving Miroku without his main comedy because he's a little perverted. Personally, I think it's consistent. A mature character, he is a father of three - with a grave at home and one of the twins missing - and focused on increasing his power over a misunderstanding of the past. What were these fans waiting for? Teenage girls twice his age before attacking his son and daughter ?! Believing Miroku must be an eternal pervert doesn't mean delving into the roots of the character who used these moments as a mask for his real worries at all.

Sango comes out in a single front scene, serene. It hides all of its secrets from us. And it is so that both in him and in her the silence is more important than the dialogues.

In defense of Moroha

As I mentioned in the previous review of Hanyo no YashahimeMoroha deserves more attention to itself. I am not defending her because she is the daughter of the previous protagonists Inuyasha and Kagome. but because the writers created an absolutely great character that devoured the screen in the first few chapters.

When the god realizes that he created a being beyond the control of his destiny, the study separated Moroha, that potential monster that can overshadow the importance of Sesshomaru's daughters. The result is a serious coherence error because it causes a sharp curve in the display. It is also a sign of contempt for the threads that weave a good fabric, because reviling such an interesting creation goes hand in hand with a forced weft. Sometimes you have to know how to hear the unexpected possibilities stories offer us, those first images on canvas that take on a life of their own and rebel against the artist's idea. On these occasions we should accept the characters and learn from them to understand them in order to keep creating them.

Moroha is essentially a pure genius. She mixes humor and intelligence, is powerful and knows her way around herbs and poisons. She is part of a demon and a priestess and unites two opposing forces into one being. Sometimes funny, cunning, and innocent, she surpasses her parents' legacy and has origins obscured by mysteries and tragedies.

Yes Hanyo no Yashahime closes the final passage on Moroha and banishes it in a way Team Rocket With Takechiyo, instead of accepting and incorporating it into Setsuna and Towa, it will break with its own plot from the start and lose the character's enormous potential.

Finally

Hanyo no Yashahime Use the silence to tell us more than the dialogue. In this dynamic, aware of its rhythm, two beloved characters from the past join in: Sango and Miroku.

Miroku's change took some by surprise, but for the writer of these lines it seems to be a necessary and consistent evolution of the character. Other factors have pulled us back, such as the demigod's nature in Setsuna, which we will discuss later.

With the chapters accumulating, we eventually go out again - and as many as necessary - to defend Moroha, not because she is the daughter of who she is, but because of the brilliant personality the screenwriters have for themselves repetitive, weird gigs wasted and irrelevant.
