Well I did a topic about Inuyasha and the Tessaiga so naturally I should do one about Sesshoumaru-sama. FIRST of all I don't want this to be a debate that he doesn't need one or would never go for it. Just open your minds and consider some possibilities.
Sessh has sought out powerups before, when he wished for Tessaiga's power and never got it. (But strange enough he can half wield it now) He naturally sought out something different and got the Toukijin forged. This gave him a full sized cutting object even greater than his claws, (Chop Chop! XD) the power to fire his own psy/energy blasts, and reflect energy attacks back at his opponents. Pretty darn impressive in my opinion but of course like the early Tessaiga it has its drawbacks. Then he of course has the power of the Tenseiga, which has many uses not only to other people but also in many battle situations. You just have to be creative.
Well Sesshoumaru has an empiric stance, and wants to build his own. And as empires go, you always must gain stronger and stronger power to extend it. Meaning even the great Sesshoumaru-sama must achieve further power to achieve this goal. Physically wise Sesshoumaru has all it takes, but in the swords wise he lacks. He's seen a few times like in the cases against Naraku's that the Toukijin can't break barriers, and ultimately the sword uses evil energy and some enemies only feed on that. As he said in the third movie "It is the fang of an Oni afterall.." So I really don't see the Toukijin becoming anymore powerful in anyway.
But the Tenseiga on the other hand is a different story, it like it's sister sword the Tessaiga may posses the power to become stronger. He just may have to do so through different means. (Slaying the undead, apparitions, ghosts who knows? Maybe even using an artifact to do so) Inu's papa gave him the sword for a reason, and I think ultimately is was his goal for Sesshoumaru to rely on the sword as heavily as Inuyasha does the Tessaiga. Not just to change his heart to be compassionate to others. There could always be a plot twise we never could see coming. (I'm not saying Sessh would need or HAVE to rely on the Tenseiga powerwise, but it sure would give him an edge over everyone so don't bring that up)
It's been overdue for a Sesshoumaru powerup, his last one was the Toukijin, and its sure showing its weakness. He can't kill Naraku's always regenerating body, break barriers, and the evil energy factors. All adds up. So I ask you IF Tenseiga could be powered up, how do you think it would change? What kind of power would it be? And how would he gain it? Theories are all most appreciated.
Or even ideas of the Toukijin being powered up would be fine. So post away all.
Only things I say now...
1. No Posting about "This is the manga, not the anime. It never says that in the manga, only the anime!" I don't care about the differences between them. Let it be general Inuyasha, so just be opened minded about what happens in the manga and in anime just might effect each other. Anyways I can't recall any instances in the anime or manga where they contridict each other. So it's all good. (No I don't wanna hear any instances either where they do if any)
2. I know Sesshoumaru has quite a fanbase, so please don't state as I said before that hes invincible, perfect, doesn't need a powerup etc etc etc. BE OPEN MINDED.
3. State ideas about what I said, I don't want this topic to flamming my arguments and topic. (Nor anyone elses) I don't need to hear about flaws in what I said. Just clean crisp creative ideas about the sword's future would be very cool..
So I'll state my idea for a powerup of Tenseiga, a barrier creating power to protect his loved ones would be very cool. It would follow Tenseiga's principles very well. How he would get this power I don't know lol.
