Hanyou no Yashahime Theories
Hi everyone,
So we are 5 chapters in Hanyou no Yashahime, and my friend @tanukinao and I have been discussing what will happen and what happened before the story started.
And just by the information those 5 chapters have given us, we came out with the following theories:
1- What happened to Kagome, Sango, the twins, Rin,....?
From the first chapter, we know that they were living all in the same village at least up until the birth of Moroha, Setsuna and Towa; and in chapter 4 we learn that Rin is trapt in the Tree of Ages.
So, what happened to the other women in the village? Assuming that a demon or a spirit came in and attacked/kidnapped them and they are all in the same state that Rin is, the guys when looking for a way to free them. So, in that case, we can explain why Sesshomaru wasn’t with his kids since he is looking for a way to free Rin from her sleep.
For Inuyasha could be a similar case. Kagome has a strong spiritual energy that attracts other demons, this could mean that also attracts other spiritual forces making her be in the same state as Rin is, and Inuyasha looking for a way to free her.
In the case of Sango and the twins, we can think that they are in the demon slayer layer, but they were settled in the village, and why Miroku would leave his wife and kids behind. We learn that he meets Setsuna and she calls him a traveling monk. The other option that occurs to us is the same fate as Rin and Kagome, and Miroku traveling to look for a way to free them (hopefully is the first one).
2- Towa and Setsuna upbringing
In the third chapter, we learn that when Sesshomaru took them when they were still babies from the house of Kaede, and then she theorizes that he might have made them do the bravery and cowardice ritual. Just by the image of Sesshomaru flying with both babies in one arm, I dought that they were capable of taking care of themself/each other at that age ( Inuyasha was a little older when he became an orphan). And that, if something attacks the village (or the event mentioned before), he wouldn’t be near to protect them, so we think that he might have taken them to Inukimi, his mother, as he did once with Rin. Then, something happened that they end up in the forest. It could be the test that Kaede mentioned or a demon attacked the house of Inukimi.
3- Setsuna after the forest fire.
Since we know that Sota cares for Towa in modern times, we can imagine how she grew up like by what they said in the 2nd episode. On the other hand, Setsuna stayed back in the forest where the Dream Butterfly took her memories and dreams away. Then she stayed in the forest where she grew older until she went to Kaede house. My hunch is that, while Setsuna lived in the forest, she met Miroku and he gained her trust. He is the one that convinces her to go live with Kaede until Kohaku took her under his wing as a demon slayer.
4- Moroha upbringing
In the 5th chapter, we learn that: one, Moroha knows Kaede; second, Mioga is with her; third, she has a debt.
For the first part, we can imagine that Kaede took care of Moroha after her parents’ disappearance until right before Setsuna came back to live with Kaede. So we can also think that Moroha, Towa and Setsuna were all together in the house of Kaede until Sesshomaru took his twins away. This can be confirmed since Mmoroha left all the stuff she brought from the modern era with her.
If she was left in the care of Kaede by Inuyasha for what we can imagine is some big event, Mioga was also left behind as her protector (I know, ironic). But it’s not like they abandoned her since they left her the sword, bow and arrows, the Isayoi lip balm, robe made of fire-rats. What it looks like is that she knows well the extent of her power/habilities (spiritual and demonic) but lacks in knowing her family tree, in what I can imagine is due to her own will.
The debt she has is what made her become a bounty hunter. Since this information has only been confirmed in the 5th chapter, I can’t really think of a theory of what made her be in debt. But what I can theorize is that when she became in debt, she was living with Kaede and left to pay her debt.
5- The Red Pearl
In the 5th chapter, we also learn how Moroha got the Red Pearl from Tokotsu’s corpse. If we consider that it really belongs to Moroha, then a past event took it away from her and then found its way back to her. If not, who is the real owner?
Sorry for the long post it’s all we thought of since we started watching the series and thank you for reading.
