Is Sesshoumaru even a fully Grown Youkai?

[Tristan9480]

I notiiced taht compared to Inugami(Fluffy's pop) and Ryuukotsusei that Sesshoumaru is alot smaller when hes been in his youkai form. o.O;

[Tristan9480]

Someone told me that Ryuukotsusei is a dragon o.O;

[John Faulkner]

Fluffy's pop is a full-blooded Youkai, but he/it married a human. So that made Inuyasha and Sessomaru both hanyous or half-Youkais.
Yeah, Fluffy's pop does look ginormous compared to Inu and Fluffy- must have been down the the gym a lot!

[Rally]

I thought Sesshoumaru is supposed to be a full youkai? Or was something revealed in the manga or the later episodes? (I've only seen up to episode 64)

[akwan50]

Uh, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru don't have the same mothers, I think. I'm pretty sure of it. Sesshoumaru is unable to wield Tetsusaiga, which Inuyasha can because he is a Hanyou.

[Tristan9480]

Fluffy is a full youkai o.O;
The thing is, is that you see his father in etiher ending songs or else where the bastard is huge. Now, when you see Sesshoumaru in his nonhuman form he is nothing compared to his father and he looks like a puppy o.o;

[John Faulkner]

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are nothing when compared to their dad, but when Inuyasha masters his sword, I think he will surpass him eventually. I thought that Sesshomaru couldn't wield the Tetsusaiga because he didn't have pure intentions about protecting someone (or something along those lines)?. In the anime (POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS WARNING)





























it was revealed that Fluffy and Inuyasha's dad gave each one a different sword. Fluffy got the one that couldn't kill anyone (it revives people), whilst Inuyasha got the Tetsusaiga.

[Nagha's revenge]

*spoilers*

Nope Fluff is full youkai perfection. He looks down on his father for loving a human and defiling their bloodline with doggy-boy. Fluff's sword was made to make him see what his father saw in humans, also to protect him from Doggy-boy killing him. The swords are clear signs they should work together (and perhaps will someday).
Doggy-boy AND Fluff will someday surpass their father, either in working together, in love or in getting what they need. Of course all of the above may actually apply ^^().

Besides no one should forget Fluff actually still IS a puppy ;).

[Tristan9480]

Old Fluff&Stuff is showing signs of change o.O

[Yasei Chi]

Fluffy and Inu-kun have different mothers; they're half-brothers. Fluffy's was a youkai, which is why he's a full-blooded youkai, while Inu-kun's was a human, which is why he is a hanyou.

***Possible spoilers***




















There are a couple of things about the swords. First, Tessaiga (Inu-kun's sword): The barrier on the sword makes it impossible for a full youkai (with the exception of Totousai, who made the sword, and maybe one or two other youkai) to touch it. There must be human blood in the person trying to touch Tessaiga. Thus, Fluffy couldn't hold the sword, but Inu-kun and Kagome both could. Also, in a later episode, a youkai traps Inu-kun and tries to take Tessaiga, but can't touch the sword, so he gives it to one of his human lackeys. With wielding Tessaiga, the rule initially introduced is that the wielder must be protecting humans to use it, but that rule seems to be bent occasionally. Now, when Fluffy managed to actually take and use Tessaiga to destroy the mountain and youkai, he could hold the sword because he was wearing a human left arm with a shikon shard in it (replacing the left arm that Inu-kun cut off). This is one of those instances where the "protect humans" rule seems to have been bent, but it holds true for the most part. Because Tessaiga really only works when Inu-kun is protecting humans (namely Kagome), it shows that his father wanted him to love humans the way he (daddy) did.

Now, Tenseiga (Fluffy's first sword): Tenseiga was given to Fluffy apparently to teach him to love humans as well, but because it can revive people, not because it only works when protecting humans. Fluffy followed his father's wish when he revived Ren. Unfortunately, he has his newer sword, made out of that big ugly demon's teeth, which kills things. ::sigh::

And yes, I think Fluffy is still a puppy, in a sense. He looks grown when he's in his human-like form and all, but he's small. I'm sure he has many more years to live, and might grow bigger if he surpasses his father. ::shrug::

Was there ever any mention of Fluffy and Inuyasha having different mothers in the anime?
[WARNING WARNING-possible spoilers]










































In the series, I think it was mentioned that the Tetsaiga is somehow preventing Inuyasha from transforming into a full youkai (episode where Inu had the bust-up with his dad's nemesis)-so it seems that his dad wanted both of his sons to learn about the good side of humans.
On the subject of Fluffy, I think he has a good chance of turning out to be a good guy now-for example he saved Rin. But he's got to control his mean streak.
Also, what is the lifespan of an average Youkai? Has it been mentioned anywhere what age Inuyasha and Fluffy is?

I don't think its ever mentioned in the Anime. Inu Yasha might age like an adverage human because in some flash backs he grew up around his mother.

Short answer: Yes. Re-watch the first forteen eps.

The guessing continues

Half true. Doggy-boy is a hanyou with a daddy that's hella powerful. Now mix weak weak (but most likely very hot) human blood with dominant powerful youkai blood and you get a Volkswagen with a warp-drive, in other words you get Inuyasha. The sword was a seal on his youkai side, it tamed his yoki because if it was truly released he would tear his own body appart. The Tetsaiga was made to protect Doggy-boy in more ways than one, to make sure Fluff wouldn't be able to kill his lovely brother and to help Doggy-boy survive other youkai. It gives Doggy-boy power equal and often greater of most Youkais, so he no longer needs to be a true youkai (this was his goal in the beginning of the series).

On the subject of Fluffy, I think he has a good chance of turning out to be a good guy now-for example he saved Rin. But he's got to control his mean streak.

Yes ... The discusting fall of Fluff. Really you see it coming from the beginning of the series. Fluff never really was a threat to Doggy-boy, he had this 'code of honour' thing going on AND he was just too powerful to be a true villian. Fluff will save doggy-boy in the end, in fact he has already ..
About his age, well Bobo what can I say .. Doggy-boy is about the same age a Kagome / Kikyo. Fluff is older, that doesn't make him really old if you ask me (I'm not talking actual years more relative age).

[Yasei Chi]

Umm...some possible spoilers....





















They're both at least 50, though I think the arrow seal on Inu-kun those 50 years since Kikyou died also helped keep him from aging. He probably ages at about the same rate as a normal human, because of the human blood in him, but I'm not sure. Naraku doesn't seem to be aging much, but then he's mostly demon, with just a tiny bit of Onigumo still in him. Fluffy, on the other hand, might be a youkai that doesn't age at the same rate. He might age slower than anyone else, accounting for his still-youthful looks despite not being sealed for those 50 years the way Inu-kun was. ::shrug:: But I don't know for sure.

[Nagha's revenge]

Let's just say the more powerful they are, the slower they age shall we ;) .

[Majin LinK]

SPOLIER!!!!!






























Inuyasha does turn into a full Youkai however not the way Inuyasha intended too however he is quite stong in this stage and Tessaiga makes Inuyasha's youkai blood most of it go away so he is always Hanyou and I think he easily pass's his dad with his red blade :D He gets the red blade around ep 70s somwhere, and i think Inuyasha is quite old but in the eariler eps he did say that his body is *special* so it quite hard to tell. but would he get older when he was trapped becuase if he did that means he is easily over 50 :lol:

[Naraku]

perhaps we will never know, unless they want us to know. I just assumed that full demons didn't really age at all, and inuyasha kinda aged at...uh...half rate?

[Kurai]

inugumi (inuyashas father) married a full-blooded demon and had sesshomaru, them married a human for somewhat reason i dunno y and had inuyasha. so that means sesshomaru and inuyasha are half brothers because they have different mothers.

[Yasei Chi]

With the aging, I've found since my last post in this thread that Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are both at least young adults as far as youkai are concerned (coming-of-age at around 30, I believe), and that Inuyasha is 82 and Sesshoumaru 93 (official ages listed in a magazine). Inuyasha did age while he was sealed, and appears to be aging like a youkai rather than a human.

[Naraku]

so, will they ever die from old age?:confused: ( do they have a life span)

[Yasei Chi]

Maybe possibly. In later episodes, I've seen rather old youkai, but not necessarily ones who might die of old age (youkai seem to have a tendency to kill each other before they reach old age). Inuyasha (and other hanyous) might, because of his human blood.

I guess this is a question we'd have to ask Takahashi-sempai.

[Naraku]

Then lets ask it :D
