27: 二十七ノ章 戦 Nijuunana no sho Ikusa (Journey 27 - Battle)
A a child in modern Japan, Towa stared up at a dim light floating above a highrise when her distraction lead to her being struck by an oncoming truck. When she is taken to the hospital, everyone is shocked that she has little more than a few scrapes. Sota takes her home after convincing the doctors that her backpack cushioned the impact of the truck. Once home Towa explains that she saw a creature in the sky. When she describes it, Sota understands that she saw the Tatari Mokke, the soul piper, a creature that collects the souls of deceased children. Moe points out that it is rare that magical creatures exist in the modern world and Towa begins to wonder if she really belongs in modern society. Sota, Moe and Mei all tell Towa that they are her family and she awakens from her dream back in the past. The others discuss Sota, explaining that he is Kagome's brother from another time and place. They discuss if Sota is a better father than Sesshomaru, and that leads to a segue that even Sesshomaru is a better father than Rion's father, Kirinmaru. She explains that her aunt, Zero, also has changed a great deal and had been very kind in the past. Rion believes Zero wants the girls to stop her plans or she would have killed them already. The girls are interrupted by the arrival of Rokubei, another of Jyubei's brothers. It seems he heard of the girls from Jyubei and wants to hire them to help him with a problem. Flying over the harbor, the girls see that Zero's undead army has surrounded the town. Discussing their options, Towa pushes to fight off the undead army, as that is what their father, Sesshomaru, and their grandfather, the great dog demon, would have done. On the backs of Torachiyo and Kirara, everyone rushes into battle in the sky over the harbor, Towa tells them to ignore the small ships and attack the largest ship where Zero awaits.

Notes:
In this month's issue there is an advertisement for various Christmas gifts readers can order from Shonen Sunday S which includes a poster of the Yashahime covers that appeared on 2023 volume 11.
In his blog Shiina explains rather than beginning in the modern world in this chapter he had originally planned to have a discussion about the history of tempura, which had just been introduced to Japan at the time that the historical scenes are set in. However he states he decided to switch it up and include the Tatari Mokke which he felt helped connected the Yashahime world with the Inuyasha world more firmly. Further he explains that he wants the manga to serve as a tour through Rumic World:
"My approach is from a tourist's point of view, thinking, 'Wow, this is the world of Sengoku Otogi Zoshi...!' As a long-time Rumiko Takahashi fan, my perspective overlaps with that of Towa-chan, who grew up in the modern era, so this comicalization is my love song to Rumiko Takahashi's work. It is no exaggeration to say that I am doing this job because I was allowed to do so. However, since Towa-chan is originally a resident there, she will eventually leave my hands and return home."
Shiina goes on to explain his eventually returning Towa (either to Rumic World and beyond his control or to the past, it's a bit unclear) to a British film he saw as a youth.
"I feel like I've said this several times, but this reminds me of a movie I saw a long time ago called Born Free. This film is based on the true story of a British woman who rescued a baby lion at a time when there was almost no precedent for artificially nursing lions. She named the lion Elsa, raised her, trained her, and returned her to the wild. In the final scene where John Barry's beautiful and majestic masterpiece theme "Born Free" plays, I cried as I watched the lion, who had been loved like a cat, grow up with confidence and leisurely leave for the savannah... When I looked back at it the other day, a lot of things were outdated and I didn't really like it that much (laughs). Well, it's a memory from when I was little. It was a blockbuster movie when it was released."
Do we as manga artists say goodbye to the characters once the serialization ends? It is true that we no longer draw them, but they remain with the creator and remain "my children". However, I think my parting with Yashahime and the others, which are copyrighted by someone else, will probably be a little more drastic.
Shiina discusses the latest of Jyubei's brothers, Rokubei (呂苦兵衛). Rokubei has the character "roku" (六) which means "six" on his shirt.
"Rokubei-san of the Hakata corpse shop is a character that wears a monocle. I tried to match the original Jyubei-san's eye scar. Glasses already existed in Europe at the time, and Nobunaga was said to have been very interested in the missionaries who were using them. The invention of the current method of fixing glasses by way of the ears was invented much later, and at that time, glasses were used as pince-nez glasses that were clipped onto the nose. Monocles were popular as fashionable items in the 19th century, and the monocle used by Detective Conan's Kid is in the image of Arsène Lupin, the phantom thief of that time. I don't know if it was during the Sengoku period, but I think it's within an acceptable range for historical research. The lenses must have been quite expensive, so having only one was half the price."
Rokubei explains that he was sent to the girls by "Hakata no Tsu" (博多津), this is the old name for "Hakata Harbor", or in today's terms, the harbor area of Fukuoka.
"Once we had it clear that wasn't the Mori clan's navy, most of the Otomo clan withdrew most of its forces." - The Otomo clan (大友氏/Otomo-shi) and Mori clan (毛利氏/Mori-shi) were rival clans battling one another at the end of the 15th century. The Mori clan were known for their seamanship, while the Otomo clan are remembered as being one of the first to make contact with Westerners. As a result they developed a working relationship with the Portuguese that arrived in Japan and had dealings with missionary Francis Xavier.
"They say they don't got the capacity to take on demons while they're busy fightin' at Moji." - Moji (門司) is a ward in the modern city of Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture.
"Wars've cut our population in half, but this used to be a flourishin' port city that rivaled Sakai." - Sakai (堺) is a seaport in Osaka, to this day it is one of the most important seaports in Japan.
Shiina concludes that he is cobbling together elements of the anime with his own ideas he has developed in the manga.
"As usual, this story is going to be something different, I've gathered parts from the anime from all over the place, used newly made materials as adhesive, and reassembled them into a manga. I guess I'm currently working on the first half to middle of the second season of the anime. I would be happy if you could enjoy both the anime and the comic version even more."

Chapter
28: 二十八ノ章 是露 (一) Nijuuhachi no sho Zero (Ichi) (Journey 28 - Zero (Part 1))
As they push into battle, Zero raises shadowy giant figures of the undead. The half-demon princesses cut through them with their powerful attacks and they along with Kohaku and Hisui all crash onto Zero's ship. Kohaku points out that the shadows cannot attack the ship recklessly as they will not wish to sink their mistress's flagship. Kohaku and Hisui stay behind to hold off the shadowy undead while Riku and Rion lead the girls to Zero, hoping that if they defeat her it will make her undead army vanish as well. The girls are surprised there are no guards as they press deeper into the ship, but they do not realize they have fallen into Zero's trap. The powerful demon casts "World Reversal" upon them, making their senses feel as if the ship has flipped and their understanding and senses become garbled and confused. Ensnaring Towa, Zero begins to take back the Rainbow Pearls. She reminds Towa that the pearls were the embodiment of her rejected emotions and that she will prove she is not afraid of her own emotions anymore. As she begins to think of her past and why she hates the dog demon clan so much, Zero recalls the end of the stalemate battle between her brother Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru's father. After Kirinmaru's horn was sliced off, the great dog demon looked down and smiled at Zero as he saw her retrieving it, his flattering attention was something she had forgotten after the banishment of her feelings via the Rainbow Pearls.

Notes:
In his blog Shiina explains that this chapter is his version of some of the events from Yashahimeepisode 34, though he laments he could not work in "Kid-sama" (a reference to Gosho Aoyama's Kaito Kid due to the use of the hang glider in the episode).
Shiina comments that Zero's "World Reversal" spell (天地返し/Tenchi Gaeshi) is more complex in his story than in the anime because he needed a way to separate the girls form one another and that was the easiest way to do so.
Shiina also explains the difficulty of working with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's father because of how vague he is in the original manga. He explains that if he tries to keep him vague then he will not be an interesting character while if he tries to build him up he will move too far from the character as he appeared in the original series. However, he goes on to explain that Zero's motivations are very difficult to explain succinctly in the manga versus what was easier to depict in the anime, and he felt that more directly involving the great dog demon and Zero and being very direct in that depiction could help clarify her motivations. Interestingly Shiina-sensei speaks about his test for finding the proper characterization is to imagine the voice actors (in this case Maaya Sakamoto (Zero) and Akio Otsuka(Sesshomaru's father)) saying the lines. He stated that if they sounded right in his mind in their voices he felt that was what worked, however Rumiko Takahashi often corrected this characterizations.
"As usual, my main point of reference is whether or not I can hear the voice actor's voice. Listen to the voices of Akio Otsuka and Maaya Sakamoto in your head, and if it feels right, it's okay. Afterwards, when I submitted it for Rumiko Takahashi's review, I often found out that my interpretation was wrong (laughs), but I've corrected myself in that regard."
Shiina laments not having depicted Zero's costumes changing with her personality shift. He comments that her courtesan costume should have come when she became evil and that in the flashback showing Riku's birth she should have been wearing something else instead. He simply states he had not thought of doing that at the time.
Ultimately he signs off saying this will be the last story published in 2023 and that while he is trying to tell the story succinctly there is still a long way to go and he hopes readers will stick with the story in 2024.

29: 二十九ノ章 是露 (二) Nijuuhachi no sho Zero (Ni) (Journey 29 - Zero (Part Two))
Zero speaks to the Great Dog Demon as he comes to claim Kirinmaru's horn that he sliced of. He explains that he could forge a powerful sword or sturdy armor from the horn, but she requests that she might keep it so she could make a "shadow" of Kirinmaru to see if it would live a life following romantic passions rather than martial exploits. The Great Dog Demon comments that despite Zero's status she has never seemed interested in battle and she muses to herself that, had things been different, she may have been romantically linked to the Great Dog Demon. He tells her to never change and before he departs she moves in close and takes a pine needle from his hair, a moment of potential intimacy ignored as the two great demons part ways. Upon their parting Zero placates herself that she and the Great Dog Demon are immortal and that they will share the world together for eternity and that will be enough to satisfy her. Years later Kirinmaru tells her of the Great Dog Demon's death at the hands of Ryukotsusei and Shishinki. Zero is overcome with grief, left to know that she will never see the dog demon again, nor her deceased niece Rion. Suddenly she hears the Grim Comet speak to her. A fragment had imbedded itself inside her when it last passed the Earth and it tells her that she can end her suffering by discarding her heart.The fragment of the comet cruelly tells her that he never would have chosen her, as he happily married a demon from his own clan and then died protecting a human woman. With that Zero expells her heart which take the form of the Rainbow Pearls and are scattered to the winds. In the present as Zero battles against Towa she reabsorbs the Rainbow Pearls and recovers her memories and emotions. In spite of this she does not change her mind about hurting the members of the dog clan of demons, instead she says they all deserve to be wiped out. Suddenly Moroha and Setsuna arrive, having defeated the World Reversal by ignoring their muddled senses and following Moroha's nose. Rion and Riku arrive to help as well.

30: 三十ノ章 是露 (三) Sanjuu no sho Zero (San) (Journey 30 - Zero (Part 3))
Zero begins her battle against the half-demon girls and is surprised by Towa's ability to absorb demonic energy with her sword. On the ships, Kohaku, Hisui and Takechiyo battle against the black, demonic creatures that are controlled by Zero. Suddenly the things freeze, holding in place but no longer attacking. Zero is powerful, but not powerful enough when Moroha, Towa and Setsuna all team up to fight her together. Setsuna has an opening to slice Zero's throat, but she realizes that Sesshomaru must have wanted her to do something more than just kill Zero, as he could have easily done that himself to save Rin. As Setsuna concentrates she can see thousands of threads connecting Zero to different things in the world, yet she knows she must cut only one to save her mother. With the Yuraki no Tachikiri Setsuna slices a rust colored thread that has been befouled by Zero's negative emotions. However Zero is able to counterattack and thinks to herself that if she is not attacked in this moment, Towa will die. As she readies her attack Riku impales Zero with his sword. Zero puts up a brave front, telling the girls of the dog clan that they deserve to die for siding with humans and slowly helping to eradicate demons from the world. However, as Riku listens he can tell that Zero truly holds no malice for the girls any longer, she merely wants to die with dignity and fight until her power is all used up. Crying for the first time in his life, Riku tells Zero that he is Towa's knight and he will protect her. Zero reaches out to touch his face, slowly dissolving as she dies happily, knowing that Riku has become a kind man unlike Kirinmaru from whom he was born. Zero bids farewell to Rion as well, realizing that the Grim Comet befouled her and made her rob Towa, Setsuna and Moroha of a life with their parents. As she dies, the girls realize that her anger and malice have faded. Kirara and Takechiyo sweep in as the boat they were on begins to dissolve and the pair fly through the sky carrying everyone to safety. Towa apologize to Riku that they were not strong enough to save Zero. Riku explains that he held Zero in such high regard that he knew he had to be the one to ultimately kill her and thinks to himself he could not allow that burden to fall on Towa and the others. In the distance Shippo appears on his flying top and calls for the girls to hurry. They see awaiting them on the dock Inuyasha, Kagome and Rin, all now freed from the dreamstate they were trapped in.
Moroha's "Beniyasha Heavenly Arrow Barrage Avalanche" is called "Beniyasha Tenkuu no Yabusuma Nadareotoshi" (紅夜叉 天空の矢襖 雪崩落とし) in Japanese.
The original Japanese has a note to explain that the term "nehan" (涅槃) is "nirvana, a place of enlightenment where earthly desires have disappeared, the world after the state of death."
In his blog Shiina explains that he was so busy with his cat's hospitalization that he forgot to update the blog last month. He says explains that he is lazy when it comes to blogging about his manga work however he hopes to increase the available information online about his work and that is why he does it. Also he hopes that it will develop interest in his work so he can pay for his cat's medical bills.
He explains the changes in the relationship between Zero and Riku, adding that it needed to be simplified due to the limits of how many pages it would take up to cover what was shown in the anime version. He also refers to a specific part in the manga where Riku, with tears in his eyes says that "Lady Zero no longer... wishes harm on Lady Towa." In the original Japanese a very literal translation would be that he says "this Lady Zero," which Shiina explains below.
"Now, for those of you who watched the anime, Zero-sama has reached her end in a slightly different, albeit familiar, way. If we were to do Zero's refraction and relationship with Riku as they were in the anime, the number of pages would simply be too large, so this is a comicalized version that has been simplified and uniquely reconfigured while sharing some lines and parts. Riku's line "(This) Lady Zero no longer..." means "For the comicalized space/time Zero." In other words, "Please watch the anime!" (laughs)."
Interestingly, Shiina expresses that he read the scenario for the Yashahime anime that had some differences compared to what eventually aired on TV.
"In the scenario I read, Riku was hesitating with his sword at the ready, and Zero ultimately impaled herself. In the finished version, that part was cut off at the stage of direction, and the situation became simpler and the tempo improved, but at the same time, I think the subtleties of their hearts became a little harder to grasp. It was a very adult-like situation, but I guess it was a decision due to it being a kids' anime. The comicalize adaptation of the story has some of the nuances of Sumisawa's original script, but the story is still based on Riku's will.
Unlike the anime, which has enough episodes and a large amount of information that goes into each episode, the comicalize version is a monthly serialization that progresses gradually while compressing the content of the original. The true reunion between Mr. and Mrs. Inuyasha and Mama-Rin is two episodes after the dream conversation, so it was surprisingly quick. I would have liked to have inserted one or two more one-shot episodes of demon extermination, but the compactness of the composition took precedence."
Shiina then goes on to talk about what scenes he thinks are the most important in the series before briefly beginning an aside about the manga Candy Candy. He implies that Candy Candy is not readily available for "various reasons" without further explaining. The reasons are that the two creators, Kyoko Mizuki (writer) and Yumiko Igarashi (artist) and Toei (anime studio that adapted the manga) were involved in lawsuits that began when Igarashi was producing Candy Candy without the involvement of either Mizuki or Toei. Mizuki sued, claiming that she has equal rights and won the lawsuit. Igarashi was forced to pay Suzuki ¥29,500,000, or 3% of their sales. Then Igarashi sued Toei when they were rebroadcasting the Candy Candy anime. All of this legal bad blood has ensured that the Candy Candy manga will be unlikely to be reprinted and the anime will be unliked to ever be re-aried on television or re-released on future physical or digital media form.
"'I'm going to meet Inuyasha and his friends from 'Rumic's Otogi Zoshi'... in a comicalize adaptation,' was something I thought about as I drew, so for me, Towa-chan meeting Inuyasha, Kagome, and Rin face-to-face is probably the most important scene. After that would be the final scene, and then the scene showing the farewell to the Higurashi family. There is still a lot of work to be done before the showdown with Kirinmaru and the Grim Comet, but it feels like the final scene is almost within reach. From the beginning, I set the goal of writing the book to be completed in about ten volumes, and so far it looks like I'll be able to finish it at about that point. Well, it's normal for things like this to end up being a little longer than planned, but... the classic shojo manga Candy Candy (キャンディ・キャンディ) has a total of 9 volumes (laughs). What is the depth and completeness of that manga? It's a pity that it's no longer readily available due to various reasons. Well, let's not talk about other manga (laughs).
For now, I'll do my best to draw the family reunion next time. My goal is to make Rumiko Takahashi-sensei cry. I don't think it's possible (laughs)."

Chapter
31: 二十八ノ章 抱擁 Nijuuhachi no sho Houyou (Journey 31 - Embrace)
Rin dreams of being a child again and the scent of Sesshomaru when she suddenly wakes up and finds him sitting beside her. She is overjoyed to see Sesshomaru again but asks after Towa and Setsuna and Jaken takes her to see her now grown daughters. Elsewhere Inuyasha and Kagome are thrilled to see Moroha again after so many years away. Moroha, who has been struggling to stay conscious after having turned into Beniyasha, collapses in her father's arms. Rin excitedly embraces her daughters as well. Towa thinks about how young Rin is by modern standards even if she had not been put into a magical slumber for many years. She thinks about how nice she smells and how different she is from Moe, her adopted mother. Towa slips away from the party and soon her aunt, Kagome, comes to speak to her, explaining that thanks to the dream butterfly she knows that Towa was raised by her brother Sota. Towa shows her a modern smart phone which is very different than the cellphones Kagome remembers, and then shows her a video of Sota, her mother and grandpa along with Moe and Mei. Kagome is overwhelmed to see her family and how much they have changed since she last saw them. Towa has brought some gifts from Sota back with her, including canned oden which Sota knew his sister would miss having. Kagome is overwhelmed and cries as she hugs Towa who explains that she has ten years worth of birthday videos that the family has made to remember Kagome all these many years since she left to live in the past. Rin soon arrives, heavily intoxicated, wanting to hug Towa some more before Kohaku has to haul her off to bed after she passes out. Inuyasha is relieved that everyone is alright, but he still has a shard of the Grim Comet inside of him and knowns he will be a liability when the battle against Kirinmaru arrives. Towa asks Inuyasha to let her Moroha and Setsuna protect him and Inuyasha is reminded of his father as he looks at Towa. Jaken waits outside, planning on following the orders of Sesshomaru's mother who has given him the eggs of the Dream Butterfly and instructions to burn them like insence. The smoke will release the memories and allow the children and their parents to at least have a happy fantasy of having spent their years together as if they were part of one another's lives in the time they spent apart. Elsewhere Sesshomaru prepares to face off against Kirinmaru and the Grim Comet.

Notes:
In this month's issue there is an advertisement for Rumiko Takahashi's new artbook Colors which will be in stores a few days after this chapter was published.
"This dish is rare in the land of the rising sun." - Rion is referring to "tempura" which is today a very common dish in Japan, however during the Sengoku period it was very uncommon. Though friend dishes did exist they did not use batter. This was introduced by Portuguese traders who arrived in Nagasaki during the 16th century. The word "tempura" comes from the Portuguese word "témporas".
Konjac is a root vegetable that is thought of as a medicinal food.
In his blog Shiina explains how the oden reference came about:
"This is one of the chapters I've wanted to draw since the serialization started. To tell you how much I wanted to draw it, I've been buying cans of oden for two years as drawing materials for this chapter (laugh). When I was given the opportunity to do the comicalization, I wanted Towa to bring oden to her as a souvenir. If I could, I would have had Kagome's mother's homemade oden in a Tupperware container from Towa-chan, but that was impossible, so I decided to use canned oden.
According to Rumiko Takahashi, there is no option for a sequel to Inuyasha where "Kagome-chan returns home to the present day." The final scene in which she decides to "live with Inuyasha" is a choice that touches our hearts because she knows that she will "lose her modern life and will never be able to return." Therefore, even in the comicalize version, family reunions are not allowed. However, since I started the story from the perspective of "I want to meet Kagome, Inuyasha, and the others again," I felt that the remaining family members were like us fans, so I needed a scene where they could connect in some way.
So, in the first chapter, the luggage set-up was changed to "Sota's backpack". Regardless of whether or not I would actually eventually draw it, I was certain from that moment that it would contain a can of oden and a video message. If Sota was preparing it, he would have all the supplies needed during the rush to enter the Sengoku period, and it would also serve as his backup. This time, I was able to safely retrieve that idea it and draw the scene of the Higurashi family, and Takahashi-sensei was also pleased with the result. Kagome-chan's birthday is the day she met Inuyasha and the day the story began, so the series of blessing and thanking her is a meta-message to Kagome and Takahashi-sensei to convey the feelings of the fans."
Regarding Rin, Shiina discusses his need to see the character "completed" more than she was in the Yashahime anime.
"I think the character of Mama Rin in the comicalize version was completed here. The anime version was created mainly as a "mother" in a fairy tale plot, so in the manga version, I was looking for a new and unique image of Mama Rin, focusing on expressing her footsteps from Inuyasha. I was thinking that I had a good response to the aforementioned "gourmand," "girlishness," and "natural wife," but something needed to be pushed further... and then I hit the nail on the head with this "cute mother who pushes for her daughters." I tossed out the idea that "In this work, she's a mother, so make her motherly," and instead I let each character have their own session together, the daughters said things like, "Ah, you're so cute, Mom!" and "Good girl, good girl. Mother ♡," acting as if they were Rin-chan fans. This is a pattern that sometimes occurs in movies, where the actors are asked to improvise and do as they please. I wonder if this is what would have happened if I had thrown it all to the lead voice actors of Yashahime, who grew up watching Inuyasha... I don't know.
I think it's a bit too much like my own style, but as a wild Inuyashalockian, my interpretation and conclusion is that "Rin-chan must be loved by everyone."
Japanese people call fans of Sherlock Holmes "Sherlockians", so Shiina hybridized "Inuyasha" and "Sherlockian" to come up with the "Inuyashalockian" term.
He continues:
"The reason I made Rin get drunk in the second half was to change the atmosphere of the scene, but it worked better than I expected, and I was able to not only establish her character but also portray the feelings of those around her. At the same time, the last arrangements involving the Dream Butterfly was safely recovered. Even though it's Otogi Zoshi Spacetime, it's still painful for a parent and child to be separated at the height of their cuteness, and I wanted to make up for it in some way in the comicalized version. So, when I changed "Deprive Setsuna of her sleep" to "Deprive her of joy," I also adopted this as the reason. That's why I had the cooperation of my Sesshomaru's mother. She has been a huge help to me as a wild card in the play.
So, it was a fun chapter where I was able to reveal what I was planning all at once. Sumizawa-san also praised the way it all came together in this chapter. By the way, I think I'm probably the one who understands the hardships that Sumizawa-san went through in starting up this story from scratch. I just reconstructed it later for the manga adaptation, and it's a simple set of circumstances where the only boss is Rumiko Takahashi, so I'm the one who thinks, "I understand that this was done this way for a reason." I want to express my gratitude to Sumizawa-san and say, "It must have been very difficult. Once it's finished, let's go for a drink."
Well, from the next chapter onwards, we'll finally move on to the final boss, Kirinmaru, and the showdown with the Grim Comet. Please stay with us for a while as we continue to enjoy the comicalized version of Yashahime."
