No horse in this race since I can't remember even finishing the series, but... is there any indication in the new series that she's spent 18 or whatever years while being raised by humans devoting her every waking thought to him?

That's like saying at 5 I had a crush on my babysitter and then we meet 30 years later and suddenly he's groomed me because at one point I liked him?

I don't remember the specifics but she was a young child who was the only survivor of her village (he saved her) and he was her only social influence and caregiver for years. She gives him gifts (flowers) and tries to warm him up. He has an incredible influence over her, he's the only reason she's alive. That leaves any romantic intentions he takes from her inappropriate as, even if he didn't raise her to be a sex object, there's a mentality of debt she would think she owes him that he's taking advantage of.

Good thing she's literally not real, and none of it matters.

ayrt

True, but the complete reluctance to believe a heavily implied fact about a character is an unfortunate level of denial. Plain sad imo.

Was he her caregiver for years, though? The manga ran for years but if you look at the internal timeline the series itself seems to take place in the course of only about a year (final timeskip excluded) -- Kagome's in junior high and specifically says she's 15 at the start of the series, which would make her a third year, and near the end of the series before the final battle she's taking her high school entrance exams. Presumably Rin was dropped off at the village shortly after the final battle concluded, so really she only followed Sesshoumaru for about a year.

Someone did the math and it was something like 9 months. 12 at a stretch and that's more to do with people struggling to suspend their disbelief at how short the timeframe is lol.

And Sess wasn't even around her for parts of it.

I thought it was heavily implied that he went off by himself a fair bit and would leave her behind with Ah-Un and Jacken? Hence why Rin would always be delighted when he'd show up wherever they were.

Yeah, she idolised him for 9 months but she'd had a shit life whilst with humans before then so you can't blame her.

She then goes to live full time in Kaede's village amongst humans who are slightly cooler about outcasts and strange phenomena. I can't believe that people think that she wouldn't grow up well adjusted with Kagome, Sango and Kaede as mentors. 3 powerful women who don't take shit from men.

What a disservice to them.

Sesshomaru still visited Rin regularly at the end of the series, so he's the 4th caretaking figure in her life.

ayrt

Canon dictates that she was eight when introduced and aged to at least around eleven. Kagome has to travel back and forth through time. I believe the first time she makes it back home she's surprised at the lack of time that she's missed. The thing with time travel is that you can show up whenever you want, but in this case it would simply seem they run on a different time interval. So time moves slower back in time than it does in modernlife.

No, from what I recall the series was fairly clear that time ran concurrently, that's why her grandpa always had to make excuses for her missing school and in the early chapters with the Noh mask incident Kagome tells Inuyasha she'll be back in three days and three days are shown to pass in both time periods. The last chapter also specifically states that three years have passed in both Kagome's time and Inuyasha's. It's post-timeskip Rin who's eleven (otherwise she'd be fourteen post-timeskip and she's very clearly not).
