Yashahime season 2 release date

 Yashahime season 2 premiered on the 2nd of October, 2021. Crunchyroll and Hulu will all have the anime accessible for viewing. 

The news of the renewal of the anime for a new season was announced in March of 2020, just after the completion of season 1 of the sequel. Season 2 is officially titled Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, The Second Act. Fans were swooning over the release anticipation, and the wait was over at last. 

 

Season 1 of Yashahime didn’t quite receive the expected reviews. It even gathered a few reviews from critics who are not at all in favor. In 2021, it was ranked 9th on Animage’s 43rd Anime Grand Prix, but it also received the tag of being the worst anime of the 2021 winter by Anime news network, which killed the mood. As of now, we can say that the spinoff ranking is far low than anticipated. It has a compromised ranking of 7.2/10 on IMDB and 6.72 on MyAnimeList. But as they say, it’s never late to come back stronger, that’s exactly what the series did. Season 2 spins high expectations among fans and critics. Let us see if season 2 can live up to the expectations of fans.

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon – plot

The sequel anime ‘Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon’ takes place six months after ‘InuYasha: The Final Act.’ Towa and Setsuna (Rin’s twin daughters) and Sesshomaru live peacefully in Japan during the feudal times. A raging wildfire in the nearby forest separates the two twins. Sota Higurashi, Kagome Higurashi’s younger brother, adopts and looks after her. He takes care of the 4-year-old Towa after she is transferred to modern-day Japan via a portal.

The portal gateway reopens a decade later. Setsuna and Towa are reunited. Setsuna, on the other hand, has no recollection of her twin sister and also turns into a fiery demon slayer during their separation a decade earlier. Moroha, Inuyasha and Kagome’s only daughter, joins the two without the knowledge of who her parents were except for the fact that her mother was some high-level human priestess and her father is a half-dog demon. The three 14-year-olds go on an epic journey together to uncover their history and past life mysteries and complete a crucial task.

The later part of how these three come together and go against a common rival is worth a watch. However, the series ends with a heart-wrenching scene, Setsuna’s death. Setsuna was slain in a stunning turn of events during the battle with Kirinmaru leaving Towa in sorrow for a second time. It is then revealed that the combined strength of Towa and Setsuna was insufficient to defeat the Demon Beast King.

Season 2 is expected to show the comeback of Towa and Moroha together to defend and put an end to the evil Kirinmaru. Stay tuned to know more about the latest updates.
