History Sesshōmaru is the son of Tōga and another inu daiyōkai. He saw his father as the ultimate opponent, wishing to defeat him in combat and take his two legendary swords. He talked with his father following the battle with Ryūkotsusei, demanding the two swords be handed over to him. However, when questioned if he had anyone to protect, Sesshōmaru told his father that he did not. After his father died to protect Sesshōmaru's new hanyō half-brother, and his human mother, Sesshōmaru began to hate them, considering such an act as pathetic and unworthy for a great yōkai such as Tōga was. Due to his father's will, he was given Tenseiga instead of the other two swords to eventually teach him compassion. He met Kujaku and Seiten that they told him to fight the Four War Gods from his father's last words, but he refused. When Sesshōmaru saw they were killed, he encountered Kyōra until he got caught by the Mark of the Shitōshin. He inherited his fathers title for Lord of the Western Lands even though he doesn’t want it. He wanted to make something of his own and not rely on his father’s legacy. After that, Sesshōmaru began a centuries long nomadic journey in search for power and to battle the most powerful beings alive.
On his journey, Sesshōmaru passes the plains of Musashi Province where Jaken and imp tribe was under attack by a powerful yōkai. After saving them, he was highly admired by Jaken who decided to leave the tribe and follow him. Sesshōmaru first ignores him but eventually accepts Jaken's request to become his servant. He grants Jaken a weapon, Nintōjō which is used as a detector and flamethrower.
Fifty years prior to the beginning of the series and shortly after Inuyasha was sealed to the sacred tree, Sesshōmaru was encountered by Panther Devas of the Panther Demon Tribe (Tōran, Karan, Shunran and Shūran). The Panther King was defeated by Tōga 150 years before Inuyasha was under spell. Sesshōmaru was joined by an army of yōkai that his father saved during the battle, however, they were all slained by Panther Demon Tribe. The battle ended as Tōran fled during a fight with Sesshōmaru.Search for Tessaiga, Sesshōmaru began his quest for Tessaiga by searching for the place described by a short riddle: "Seen, yet never seen, protected, but never known to its protector." This was the only known clue as to Tessaiga's location. First, he had arrived at his father's stone tomb and even though his imp servant, Jaken said that his Nintōjō says that it's not the right way, then he suggested they go to his younger brother, Inuyasha, to ask where their father's grave was located. Sesshōmaru and Jaken were then next seen riding on a huge oni, attacking a shackled woman, Inuyasha's mother, in a flying carriage. Inuyasha tried to save his mother, but Jaken attacked Inuyasha with the Nintōjō, getting his attention. Sesshōmaru taunted him for being a hanyō, and asked him where their father's grave was, only to be told that Inuyasha didn't know. Sesshōmaru proceeded to tell Inuyasha that if he didn't answer, he would kill the woman in the carriage, Inuyasha's mother. At first, Inuyasha didn't believe that the woman was his mother. However, Sesshōmaru told him that he had resurrected her and gave her a new body, which later, was shown to have been quite possible due to the power of Sesshōmaru's Tenseiga. After hearing from the woman that she was truly his mother brought back from the dead, Inuyasha attempted to attack the yōkai and save her. Sesshōmaru ordered the yōkai to attack them, but before they could get hurt, Inuyasha's mother transported them to a different place. Sesshōmaru was annoyed by Jaken's bothersome plan, and told him that if it should fail, he would kill him.
Jaken went to where Inuyasha was located, where it was revealed that the woman was not Inuyasha's mother, but a yōkai called the Mu-on'na. The Unmother was a spirit of women who had their children killed by war. To lure Inuyasha into revealing the secret to the whereabouts of Tessaiga, Sesshōmaru then appeared and gloated that he knew where their father's tomb was. He grabbed Inuyasha and pulled a black pearl from Inuyasha's eye. He then used the Nintōjō Jaken carried to open a portal from the black pearl. He and the others jumped in, traveling to the world between the living and the netherworld. selfish and cruel. They set a high value on personal freedom, but do not have much regard for the lives or freedom of other people. Chaotic evil characters do not work well in groups because they resent being given orders and do not usually behave themselves unless there is no alternative.
personality Sesshōmaru, born of a great yōkai bloodline, possessed the perfect power that many yōkai desired. Because of this, he was always composed and confident in his power, displaying a calm, calculating personality at almost all times. The only trait he inherited from his father was fondness towards humans, which didn't manifest until later on in his life. His calmness often kept his thoughts clear of emotional influence.
Young Rin
The smile that changed Sesshōmaru's feelings towards humans.
His air of aloofness and indifference was a product of dignity that only one of such rare demonic power could possess. Sesshōmaru was more or less emotionless, with only anger, annoyance, and dissatisfaction showing on his face. Because both his heart and body were so strong, he had no desire whatsoever to own the Sacred Jewel, nor to conspire with allies. Sesshōmaru even responded sarcastically towards Naraku, who had assumed an air of impudence due to his increased demonic power.
In battle, he judged his enemy's power level and attacked with the minimum power necessary. Anyone in his way was considered an enemy he would exterminate without hesitation. He did not hold back his power, even against women. He rationalized that all his prey was the same, and defeated them accordingly. For one with such pride in his power, cooperation was proof of weakness, and being alone was a condition for the strong. Once he judged someone as an obstacle, he was quick to kill without hesitation. Sesshōmaru had a very inquiring mind when there was something he cared about, but at the same time, he had almost no tenacity of purpose. If he became interested in something else, he would arbitrarily turn his back on what he was doing at that time, even during battle. Just like his fighting style, he was quick to make decisions and act on them immediately.
Sesshōmaru was obsessively proud of his father, Tōga, of whom the whole yōkai world was in awe. Because he respected his bloodline so much, he despised Inuyasha as well as Inuyasha's human mother Izayoi. He insulted Naraku, who tried to take advantage of Sesshōmaru's power. Anger welled up in his heart for not being able to use Tessaiga, the sword that could cut a hundred yōkai in one sweep which was left by his father, whom he highly respected, to Inuyasha. Sesshōmaru held resentment towards his father for having left Tessaiga to Inuyasha, whose power was weaker than his own. However, over time, Sesshōmaru came to grasp why his father gave him Tenseiga, and let go of his disgust towards his half-brother, even showing strong concern for him in rare moments. He refused to use Bakusaiga on Inuyasha when even Magatsuhi noted it was the obvious choice to make, and in the third movie, it was hinted that he actually did care about Inuyasha but refused to admit it when he was protecting him from Sō'unga's "Dragon Twister" attack. Sesshōmaru had stated that he sought only to fight the strongest beings alive and how he had wanted to fight his father and defeat him. Sesshōmaru's love for his father was so great that even though he inherited the (at the time) worthless (in his mind) Tenseiga, he kept it around him for sentimental value. During the brief period Tenseiga was stolen from him in the third movie, he stated Tenseiga was not a sword he would miss if he lost it, if not for his father.
He used to feel nothing for anyone, but meeting various people, such as the ever-changing Inuyasha, Naraku with his numerous proposals, and Rin, had brought a change in his heart. After he saved Rin and became the true owner of Tenseiga, he started to show feelings behind his heartless and cruel words. He stopped the demonic Inuyasha's wildness by controlling his power, and he looked at him like an older brother reprimanding a younger brother, though he claimed he would kill Inuyasha, despite his actions showing the opposite. There was even a time when Sesshōmaru was angry at Inuyasha for rampaging around their father's grave, but he set his sword aside, before striking him with only his fist. By setting his sword aside, Sesshōmaru showed he was merely reprimanding Inuyasha for desecrating their father's grave, instead of actually trying to injure or kill his younger brother. Sesshōmaru did not even hit him all that hard, or Inuyasha would have been injured. He even refrained from killing Kohaku when he could easily have done so, so when he looked in his eyes and saw the emptiness and that he had given up everything it became pointless.
Sesshomaru's Grief
Sesshōmaru's grief and pain over Rin's death.
Sesshōmaru genuinely cared about Rin and Jaken, and while he rarely showed it, he did appreciate their loyalty. Sesshōmaru originally held much contempt towards protecting the weak, seeing it as a ridiculous waste of time. Unlike Tōga and Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru had trouble admitting he had people to protect (Rin and Jaken), and out of pride, would never admit that he did. Sesshōmaru's compassion for Rin was evident, but he preferred to disguise it, because it would taint his pride and reputation. However, he showed his love and concern for Rin when she appeared to be dead due to her time in Hell. Sesshōmaru entered Hell for the purpose of rescuing her, but upon learning that he couldn't save her life, he was crushed. When he realized that it was his urge to strengthen Tenseiga which brought them to Hell and that ultimately killed her, he cast the sword aside, saying that for the sword to gain power at the expense of Rin's life meant nothing. However, when Sesshōmaru's mother revived Rin, he was very relieved. Although he cares for her, he does not pamper her, making her fend for herself when she is hungry, but keeps a close enough distance to come to her aid when need be. Apart from Rin, he's become more caring towards Jaken, whom he used to threaten to kill on a regular basis and treated like a slave if he failed to accomplish a certain task. Afterwards, while he would still strike Jaken whenever he annoyed him and would force Jaken to accompany him even during dangerous situations, he would tell Jaken to stay back when facing an enemy that would endanger Jaken if he was too close.
When Kagura was injured, Sesshōmaru originally intended to leave her in the river she was drowning in, but when Rin fell in trying to save her and Jaken followed Rin, Sesshōmaru pulled all three from the river. He stayed there afterwards, and warned Kagura not to do anything that would get her killed. Later however, before Kagura's death, Sesshōmaru sought her out and considered using Tenseiga, only to conclude that Tenseiga couldn't save her.
He had also been shown saving Inuyasha's friends on several occasions. On his way to Mount Hakurei, Sesshōmaru saved Kagome, Miroku, and Sango from the poison master Mukotsu, one of the Shichinintai, but only claimed that he killed Mukotsu because he would not answer his questions. He also revived a young otter yōkai's father, claiming that it was the will of Tenseiga.[11] Another example was when Inuyasha and his companions were involved in a fight with the "water god" Numawatari; when Sesshōmaru arrived, he insulted Inuyasha's inability to kill a "low life demon", and then easily dispatched Numawatari using his Meidō Zangetsuha ability, leaving straight after.[12]
Also, when Byakuya, Naraku's newest incarnation, was about to take Kohaku, who had one of the last three shards of the Shikon no Tama, back to Naraku, Sesshōmaru appeared and launched a ranged Meidō Zangetsuha (still in the crescent moon shape), barely missing him. Byakuya fled, claiming that he did not want to die, and commented on how it was so unlike Sesshōmaru to save someone. Thereafter, Sesshōmaru seemed to have taken Kohaku under his protection, albeit in his typical grudging yōkai-slayer fashion. Later, when Kohaku's shard was tainted by Magatsuhi, Sesshōmaru attempted to save Kohaku at the expense of great injury to his arm.[13]
It was his deep compassion that caused Tenseiga to be reforged as a weapon. Its offensive powers were locked until Sesshōmaru was able to show true compassion. In his battle with Mōryōmaru, the villain insulted the dying Kagura, which angered Sesshōmaru, and he shattered Mōryōmaru's indestructible shell (and his only weapon in the process). Acknowledging the yōkai's growth because he was defending a dead person, Tenseiga called to its creator to reforge it as a weapon. However, he still retains traces of his former ruthlessness, having entered a mountain belonging to ogres and killing all of them mercilessly to practice and develop Meidō Zangetsuha. Later, to show his compassion and respect for his father, he gave the offensive powers of his sword to Inuyasha (albeit in his typical fashion), in accordance with his father's wishes, recognizing his brother's worth as the heir to the sword.
Despite his growing compassion, he, like his brother, used impolite Japanese. He addressed strangers or people he does not like with "kisama" (貴様), which, like "temee" (手前), was an offensive form of "you", though still more formal. He addressed himself with either the polite "watashi" (私), or "kono Sesshōmaru" (この殺せっ生しょう丸まる) (lit. this Sesshōmaru) a manner in which powerful lords referred to themselves, denoting his high nobility and station. Other than "kisama", he used "omae" (お前), either to Jaken or to Inuyasha, the latter being occasionally and not rarely. Thus, he could be insulting while retaining the dignified speech pattern of a lord, as opposed to the rougher speech used by Inuyasha. Sesshōmaru also shares another trait with his younger brother: having a temper and being very easy to annoy (Inuyasha being loud in his anger, Sesshōmaru being subtle), as he had been known to hit Jaken when he said something that displeased him, similar to how Inuyasha was with Shippō.
Sesshōmaru, while still merciless, completely despised brutality as shown in the fourth movie, when Kyōra repeatedly suggested that they are similar in finding sadistic enjoyment in ending people's lives, Sesshōmaru replied with extreme scorn and disdain. In fact, when Sesshōmaru did kill enemies, he did it in a quick and efficient manner, disregarding any form of unnecessary violence.
After marrying Rin and becoming a father, Sesshōmaru has been noted to have become more tolerant by Tōtōsai; an example was when Jaken asked Sesshōmaru if he was alright to leave his daughters after his fight his Kirinmaru, he told simply Jaken to speak no more of the matter rather than striking him like he did in the past. He is also more open than before, but not quite an open person overall; when Jaken asked Sesshōmaru about Akuru after running into it a second time, he simply told Jaken to ignore it as Jaken wasn't getting the hint that Sesshōmaru had no intention to obtaining Akuru's pinwheel as per Kirinmaru's orders. Despite this, Sesshōmaru can also be demanding as a parent. When Setsuna stated she hasn't mastered her Yukari no Tachikiri, Sesshōmaru, upon hearing she wants to save Rin with her new weapon, cuts her dream butterfly, severly limiting the time Rin has left to motivate Setsuna to quickly master her new weapon.
In the years since Naraku's defeat, Sesshōmaru has shown himself to be much more devious and cunning than he was previously. Like his father before him, Sesshōmaru has shown himself to be willing to employ strategies to ensure his daughters' growth along with theirs and their mother's survival over a stretch of years, deceiving Zero and Kirinmaru and carefully manipulating them and lying to them to ensure the survival of not only his daughters and wife, but Kagome, Inuyasha, and Moroha as well, thus displaying how far he will go to protect his entire family. This is in stark contrast to the impulsive, albeit observant, young man that he was during the hunt for the Shikon Jewel.
