Thoughts on episode 21 (from my journal)

- I don’t know how to feel about Riku anymore. At first my writer brain told me he was gonna be a bad guy. But now I’m thinking, “is he going to be morally grey guy?”

- When they first placed both Kirimaru and Riku in the same scene I caught the similarities between the two of them. They are similar Physically and personality wise. At first I thought that Riku was his son (possibly half demon) , but I am not so sure I was off completely.

-The interaction between them reminded me of the relationship between Naraku and Kagura. It’s possible that Riku was created from him in the same way.

- Or is his relationship like Naraku and the Infant????

-Riku described his previous master as a different being than what we see. He has memories of kirinmaru being a someone who stopped to admire the present beauty of the world. We are seeing a different perspective from Towa and Setsuna.

- Riku told Towa that Kirinmaru basically threw him away. Why?

- if they kill Kirinmaru will Riku die?

-Also when did Kirinmaru get the Shikon jewel? Was he there for when it was created?

-Is there a connection between Midoriko and him? Romantic? Rival? Or did he just conveniently have it?

-they have no business making Kirinmaru good looking. Making me question my loyalty to Sesshomaru.

- towa knows about her mom now and idk how to feel

- wtf Towa don’t just give it to him!

- omg those two are actually kind of cute. (Towa and Riku)

- Hisui has a crush on Setsuna and you cannot convince me otherwise

-

Thank y’all for reading!

Am I the only person who’s convinced Rin topped Sesshomaru?
