As one of the most powerful characters and intriguing personalities in the anime classic Inuyasha, the demon lord Sesshōmaru has had fans for decades. Stoic, cutthroat, and fully contemptuous of humans, Sesshōmaru initially seeks only his father’s inheritance to further increase his already god-like power. However, small cracks in his icy facade gradually reveal deeper feelings and motivations.
While not initially verbose, when Sesshōmaru does speak, his words carry impact. As he evolves over the series, his quotes provide rare glimpses into his true thoughts on power, pride, hatred of humans, and, eventually, compassion.
With tense drama and slow-burn character development, Inuyasha lends itself to striking yet brief moments of wisdom.
This collection covers some of the most profound, cutting, and revealing quotes from the powerful dog demon lord Sesshōmaru throughout the Inuyasha series.
