Sesshomaru

Personality:   Sesshōmaru (殺せっ生しょう丸まる, "Destruction of Life") is a very powerful inu daiyōkai, feared throughout the Feudal Era. He is the older half-brother of the hanyō Inuyasha and the firstborn son of Tōga. 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. 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. 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. As a pure-blooded daiyōkai, Sesshōmaru is exceptionally powerful, having inherited his yōkai father's abilities more completely than his hanyō half-brother, Inuyasha. The magnitude of his power has led Naraku to consider him the perfect yōkai and Totosai eventually suggests that he has come to surpass even his father Toga. The level of his demonic powers are such that he is can nullify demonic auras in an instant by touching the object that has been possessed. For example, even though it remained corrupted after Kaijinbō's death, Sesshōmaru exterminated Tōkijin's demonic aura effortlessly with his bare hands. It was also presumed that, apart from Tōga himself, Sesshōmaru was the only known yōkai who could possibly control Sō'unga, something which Inuyasha couldn't. He possesses Immense Demonic Power, Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Durability, Accelerated Healing, Superhuman Olfactory Senses, Flight, Cold Immunity, Master Tactician, Observation skills, Master Swordsman, Experienced Combatant. Tenseiga: Sesshōmaru wields the Tenseiga (天生牙), a powerful yōkai sword forged from one of his father's fangs by the bladesmith Tōtōsai. Tenseiga cannot harm the living but is allegedly capable of saving a hundred lives in a single stroke and was able to bring back someone from the dead, albeit once. The sword can also cut spiritual entities (ghosts, spirits, and messengers of the Underworld). Tōkijin: Tōkijin was a sword crafted by the evil sword smith Kaijinbō from the fangs of the third Naraku's incarnations: Goshinki as part of Sesshōmaru's continued efforts to obtain Tessaiga or a sword matching it in power. It is shown to capable of matching Tessaiga in power as the fangs of Goshinki were capable of breaking the original Tessaiga before being reforged by Tōtōsai using Inuyasha's fang. Demonic Armor: Sesshōmaru wears a form of armor over his kimono that can supposedly regenerate itself over time if it was ever damaged in battle. This is shown when Inuyasha broke it during their initial battle over Tessaiga within their father's corpse and after the battle, Sesshōmaru is shown wearing the armor perfectly intact when he faced against the samurai army despite not having made any attempts at repairing or replacing the damaged portion. Dokkasō (毒華爪, Poison Claws, "Poison Luster Claw"): Sesshōmaru has claw-like fingernails and can injure — or even kill — an entire group of thieves using his claws. He can also scratch with his claws and release a potent poison at the same time to melt his enemies. Though he normally applies it through his claw strikes, he can also spray the acid from his claws or transfer it into his punches. His poison is strong enough to melt rock or bone; a mere human will melt in an instant. If his poison is taken in internally, it will remain inside and be in effect for a long period of time — even in those with demonic power. Mokomoko-sama (モコモコ様, "Lord Fluff-Fluff"):[17] The rich fur on Sesshōmaru's shoulder is a part of his body and can stretch to great lengths, giving him defensive capabilities and some means of attack. 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 appears as a handsome, frail-looking, tall and slender young man. He has fair skin with pointed ears, slanted gold eyes with slit pupils, and knee-length silver hair with short bangs. He has a violet crescent moon on his forehead that could be seen beneath his bangs, two magenta stripes on each cheek, and a magenta stripe on each eyelid. When he used his Dokkasō, three magenta stripes appeared on his wrists. Like Inuyasha, his canines are fangs (although they usually weren't visible unless he transformed) and his fingers are tipped with claws, although unlike Inuyasha his could secrete a corrosive poison. For most of the series, Sesshōmaru had only one arm, due to his fight with his brother. Towards the end, he regained his left arm after getting his new sword. Sesshōmaru's true form is a giant silver dog with markings similar to the ones he had in his human form. His eyes become red with teal irises, the yōkai marks on his body widened and becomes more apparent, the stripes on his cheeks which are usually smooth became jagged and changed into a somewhat fiercer color, and his mokomoko wrapped around his body and extended into his tail. He only fully transformed to his yōkai form three times: once during a battle with Inuyasha, resulting in the loss of his left arm,[14] again when he met his mother,[15] and during the battle against Magatsuhi.[16] Sesshōmaru's armor includes a spiked pauldron that covers his left shoulder attached by red ropes to the upper section of his black cuirass with "lotus petal" faulds that possess light gray trim. When damaged, the armor automatically regenerated itself using yōki. Both his armor and his long yellow flowing sash with violet details have a decided Chinese influence, as opposed to the customary Japanese armor and obi. His clothing consists on a white kimono with a red and white cherry blossom flower crest at the collar and sleeves, showing that he is of royal birth, a white hadagi undershirt, and a white sashinuki hakama which are gather at the ankles, producing a "ballooning" effect. His footwear consists of black ankle-high boots, also reminiscent of Chinese influence. On his right shoulder was his mokomoko-sama, the fur and tail of his true form which he retained in his humanoid form. As a pure-blooded daiyōkai, Sesshōmaru is exceptionally powerful, having inherited his yōkai father's abilities more completely than his hanyō half-brother, Inuyasha. The magnitude of his power has led Naraku to consider him the perfect yōkai and Totosai eventually suggests that he has come to surpass even his father Toga. The level of his demonic powers are such that he is can nullify demonic auras in an instant by touching the object that has been possessed. For example, even though it remained corrupted after Kaijinbō's death, Sesshōmaru exterminated Tōkijin's demonic aura effortlessly with his bare hands. It was also presumed that, apart from Tōga himself, Sesshōmaru was the only known yōkai who could possibly control Sō'unga, something which Inuyasha couldn't. As well as having a brilliant tactical acumen, another overlooked quality possessed by Sesshōmaru were his meticulous analytical skills, rivaling those of prominent intellectuals like Miroku and Kikyō. With only a rudimentary understanding of the situation and scant information at hand, Sesshōmaru was able to come up with alarmingly correct conclusions on the premise of the situation. Many examples of his observational capabilities lied on his ability to quickly understand and intuit the intentions of his father, and the reasoning of his unorthodox actions; such as when he correctly deduced that his father wanted Sesshōmaru to master the technique of the Meido Zangetsuha, before giving it to Inuyasha’s Tessaiga through its power assimilation technique, and how he was trying to test him throughout the many conflicts he faced with the Tenseiga, as well as other factors to his growth. He was also skilled in unveiling the aims of his enemies and their tactics; being one of the very few individuals that was capable of overseeing Naraku’s schemes and plots. Sesshōmaru is an extremely skilled swordsman. Experienced Combatant: Along with his swordsmanship, Sesshōmaru is also a highly accomplished unarmed fighter and even with only one arm, his skill was still formidable. Unlike Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru normally attacks with swiftness and elegance..
