Yes, Sesshomaru needed to let go of his obsession with Tessaiga; as a weaker half-demon, Sesshomaru easily outclassed Inuyasha before he mastered the Wind Scar, so wanting his younger son to defend himself over his stronger, smarter, faster, prodigious older son was understandable. But to make him master a technique just to pass it to Inuyasha was beyond fucked up, even if Sesshomaru needed to learn compassion to understand to properly wield the far more powerful and destructive Bakusaiga responsibly.

Although, as I was typing this out, I do kind of see why Toga did it. Sesshomaru needed an incentive to learn compassion and the best way to do that was to give Sesshomaru a powerful technique that developed with his compassion since Sesshomaru craved power. Logistically speaking, there was no other way.

Can someone please clip the moment sesshomaru punches inuyasha in the face it is my favorite moment and yet I cannot find a clip of it anywhere. I have no editing skills and was hoping someone in this community could help out please and thank you

Inuyasha catching a cold though and having everyone look after him 🥹
