YOOOOOOOOOO WTH????

Cover illustration for a magazine called “Metro Guide” being distributed thought metro stations in Tokyo from September 2017. Number of copies: around 1 000 000.

This edition is autumn themed so I tried to make my illustration fit the contents with the colors and atmosphere. I used the Jindaiji temple and the shops that surround it as an inspiration for the setting.

This is NOT a SessRin opening! Many people are saying that, in this new op, SessRin is compared to InuKag, but I don’t think so. If you see this succession of scenes carefully, you will realize that, while in Moroha’s scene, the background images are all of Inuyasha and Kagome, in the part where Towa and Setsuna appear, we see scenes that show Sesshoumaru’s development as a character and his growth as a person in relation to other characters like Kagura and Kohaku. They are not just images of Sesshoumaru and Rin:

In the first part, we see Sesshoumaru’s scene in which he remembers Kagura’s death and says that he will be the one to decide if she died for nothing. It is interesting that here we see the empty stairways; an empty place that a person should be occupying, but I don’t think it’s Rin because she’s already in the background. Giving us this scene of Sesshoumaru thinking about Kagura reminds us of how important she was to him and his development as a character.

Then we have two background images. The first is from Rin when she is a child. This makes sense since we all know that she was also very important to Sesshoumaru’s growth, but in the following image something caught my attention: Sesshoumaru is holding Tenseiga and the moon is behind him. This scene is from Chapter 20, when Inuyasha, Kagome and Sango are fighting against Naraku who wants to get the fragment that Kohaku has. At one point Kohaku is captured but the one who saves him is none other than Sesshoumaru. This scene in the opening is Sesshoumaru saving Kohaku. And I love that, because they are indicating how important their relationship is as well. I also find it interesting that just at the moment when Sesshoumaru’s biological daughters appear, Sunrise decides to show two images related to the two human children he cared for. Could that be indicating that they position Kohaku and Rin as his children as well?

Then we have an image that at first glance, seems to be only about Sesshoumaru and Rin, but specifically is when Sesshoumaru decides to save the souls that are in hell. That also shows the growth Sesshoumaru has experienced, deciding to save many human souls. Finally, the last scene here is from when Sesshoumaru obtains Bakusaiga, putting aside his grudge and pursuit of his father’s power and thus acquiring his own sword. In conclusion, I don’t think this opening is trying to validate SessRin, instead, I think it shows the growth process that Sesshoumaru has had.

That's it, that's the show

What even is a retcon

The Anakin-Padme interaction in the trailer didn't retcon anything, do you people have no concept of concurrency

Imagine Vader at a Miku concert, singing along with his bass as hell voice, waving his lightsaber like a glowstick

Vader, pointing at the buttons on his suit: this one cleans my air filters, this one sends an electric charge on my sternum in case I go into cardiac arrest - happens more often than you might think - and this one plays music by intergalactic hologram pop star hatsune miku

Luke:

Vader:

Vader: *presses button*

Vader’s suit speakers: *blasting Melt by Hatsune Miku™*

Yes, absolutely YES.

Hot take: Olivier Mira Armstrong is a Hufflepuff.

In fact, the whole Armstrong line has been in Hufflepuff...for generations...

Discuss.
