As soon as Sesshomaru appeared on the scene, he was looking for his father's relic, Tieshaya (a symbol of strength), but his father did not intend to leave this knife to him, but to his younger brother Inuyasha. Sesshomaru was rejected, and he not only failed Inheriting his father's power, Ergou cut off an arm. This appearance has set the tone of the whole film for the character Sesshomaru, that is, the pursuit of power, but at the beginning, he was obviously pursuing the power of his father.
Sesshomaru doesn't care much about losing an arm. Warriors care about winning or losing, not winning or losing. So Sesshomaru began to look for other arms to snatch Tetsuya from Inuyasha. It is a pity that the two snatch failed again, and the second time was severely injured by Iron Broken Teeth. The metaphor for this stage is that Sesshomaru not only failed to gain his father's power, but was defeated by his father instead.
After being seriously injured by Tie Shaiya, Sesshomaru gave up his dream of Tie Shaiya and instead sought other means to make himself stronger, so he developed his own secret meaning - Canglongpo. But in the battle with a certain Naraku clone, Douguishen was also broken. At this stage, Sesshomaru began to get rid of his father's shadow and began to find his own strength.
The failure of fighting ghosts and gods shows how difficult the road to independent struggle is, so when Tianshengya was endowed with a certain fighting ability, Sesshomaru was attracted by a powerful force and returned to his father's shelter. But the cruel reality told him that the bottom line of Ming Dao Wanyue Po was only the ability of Iron Shattered Teeth. Relying on Tianshengya alone, he could only hit 2/3 of the Underworld Dao. Sesshomaru got angry, and he completely discarded the natural teeth (later picked up by Xiaoling). Throwing away the natural teeth shows that Sesshomaru has completely abandoned the pursuit of his father's power, and he has decided to go his own way and fight entirely on his own.
The opportunity to break out of the cocoon and rebirth finally came. In the battle against Qu Ling, facing Qu Ling's repeated "you are weak" humiliation, Sesshomaru broke out. He fought Qu Ling with the consciousness of betting on his own glory, refused the help of Tie Shaya (rejecting his father's power), gave birth to his own famous sword, Shaya, and reborn his arm in the biggest dilemma. The symbolism of this battle is self-evident, Sesshomaru surpassed his father, and he finally gained his own power.
Compared with the main line of endlessly fighting monsters and not knowing what to express, the plot of the sub-line of Sesshomaru is simple and clear. The main battle scenes have been listed as above, and the design purpose of each battle is also very clear. From following his father to striving for independence, in the process of pursuing independence, he briefly returned to his father's shelter due to failures and difficulties, until he finally got rid of his father completely and gained true self-improvement and self-reliance.
The so-called growth, in both Eastern and Western cultures, chose to use father as an obstacle to growth. In ancient Greece, there was a theme of "killing one's father and marrying one's mother", but in the traditional Chinese eight-character culture, the relationship between a son and his father is precisely the most ruthless "seven killings". It can be seen that when a man grows up, he cannot stand on his own without "killing his father". The founding emperors of all dynasties have directly or indirectly killed the emperors of the previous dynasties, and the professional households of the emperors who inherited the country are far from the same as the founding emperors in terms of weather and ability.
Confucius said: "At thirty you stand." That is to say, at the age of 30, men should be able to rely on their own abilities to independently undertake social responsibilities, and can no longer rely on their parents. Therefore, "30 years of standing" is often extended to mean that men should start a family and start a business when they are 30 years old. Such an extension is not unreasonable. Only when a man establishes an independent family and has his own business can he be considered to be free from dependence on his parents and truly become independent. This process of getting rid of your parents is actually a process of "killing your father". If your father disappears in your world, you are considered independent. The next step in "killing the father" is that Western culture is relatively barbaric, and it directly "marries the mother", occupying the mother instead of the father, the mother becomes a wife, a new family is established, and one can finally be a parent; Eastern culture is civilized or cunning. In the traditional horoscope, "wealth" represents both the father and the wife, and "killing the father" can be replaced by "taking a wife" to complete the process of killing the father in the form of marrying a wife. At the same time, "wealth can ruin the seal", in the eight characters, the wife and the mother are incompatible. "If you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother", this is the truth. Using a wife to drive away the mother will expel both the father and mother from their own lives. Rebuild a new family and complete the intergenerational inheritance. Although the process looks a bit cruel, parents who truly love their children are willing to make such sacrifices. Watching the son overcome his father, watching the son leave his mother, will be sincerely happy for the son's growth and independence.
The process of chasing after the father is the process of learning strength, and killing the father (getting rid of the father) is the process of transcending the power. Only in the cycle of continuous learning and leaping from generation to generation can human beings be able to live endlessly and always maintain a strong vitality.
