Their relationship is \\\"obviously\\\" implied to be romantic as of the story\\\'s end.
Kagura is \\\"obviously\\\" implied as just a side character with the sole purpose for developing Sesshomaru\\\'s character and that\\\'s why she\\\'s killed as the final push for Sesshomaru, completing her purpose. Her romantic relationship with Sesshomaru doesn\\\'t exist, the romantic relationship is not canon and is fan fantasy.


Camp #2:
Sesshomaru and Rin\\\'s romantic relationship is canon.
Their relationship is not yet romantic relationship as of story\\\'s end but it is \\\"obviously\\\" implied that if there are just a couple more chapters with Rin eventually growing they\\\'d be together. It is “obviously” implied that Kagura is still just side a character, their romantic relationship is not canon and is fan fantasy.

Camp #3
Same as #1, except Kagura and Sesshomaru’s romantic relationship is also canon, and she is not just a side-character, her death is simply a plot-flavor by the author, if the author decided not to kill her then it is “obviously” implied that she would have been with Sesshomaru and it may or may not have been turn into a love triangle situation.
But since Kagura is dead as of the story’s end, it only leaves Sesshomaru with young Rin.
Love triangle between Kagura Sesshomaru Young Rin

Camp #4
Same as #2 following the latter part of #3
Love triangle between Kagura Sesshomaru Older Rin
But since Kagura is dead as of the story’s end, it only leaves Sesshomaru with future Rin.

Camp #5
Sesshomaru and Kagura’s romantic relationship is canon.
Their romantic bond is “obviously” implied up until the story’s end even after Kagura’s death.
Sesshomaru and Rin’s platonic relationship is canon and will be forever, but their romantic relationship is not canon, forever.

Camp #6
Sesshomaru and Kagura’s romantic relationship is canon.
Their romantic bond is “obviously” implied during the time she’s alive. But now she’s gone it is implied that Sesshomaru is no longer attached as of story’s end.
Even then, Sesshomaru and Rin still only share a platonic relationship, and even if Kagura’s dead Sesshomaru and Rin will not form romantic bond.

Camp #7
Sesshomaru did not have romantic interest at all throughout the entire story up to the story’s end.
But it is still “obviously” implied that Sesshomaru still shares a platonic relationship with Rin though, and that is canon.

It is obvious Soojin is Camp#5, as of most Kagura/Sesshomaru fan.
Most Rin/Sesshomaru fans are Camp#2, though there are some #1s

So all that\\\'s left is each camp provide their own evidence on the \\\"obviously\\\" implied part of the manga that supports their theory.

But based on what I read and I read the entire thing, Soojin came up with more reasonable amount of \\\"obviously\\\" implied cases within the manga that supported her camp\\\'s viewpoint than the ones provided by the camp#2 people.

And I would like to just clarify, if they \\\"would have\\\" then it\\\'s canon. So don\\\'t use \\\"she\\\'s dead\\\" or \\\"she\\\'s young\\\" as excuse. If Kagura is alive they would have been together is enough to say their romantic bond is canon. Same goes for if Rin is older as well.

Then it just turn into insults which just hurts me because I came here for Inuyasha discussion damn it!

But seriously, what do you think is more \\\"obviously\\\" implied as of the end of the manga.

Me personally I don\\\'t think I see that many \\\"obviously\\\" implied hints to show Rin loves Sesshomaru as more than a father, maybe when she grows older she would, but as of the manga\\\'s end it did not indicate that for me so their romantic relationship is not canon. But for sure it is pretty \\\"obvious\\\" the way the manga portrayed Kagura\\\'s feeling for Sesshomaru, but his response to that is still murky, but I can definitely see him allowing her to tag along to his party if she is alive after Naraku\\\'s death and maybe they can form something. So definitely Kagura had more potential than Rin as of the story\\\'s end, and that puts me into camp#5 as well.

Yeah yeah I know how can someone dead have more potential than someone young and alive. I know that, but as of the story\\\'s end Kagura really has the advantage, since we don\\\'t see what Sesshomaru think most of the time, it is up the the girls and their behavior they\\\'ve shown up to the manga\\\'s end, if had Rin show just a small sign of romantic interest for Sesshomaru then that would change anything because she\\\'s still alive at the end of the manga and that\\\'ll tilt to her favor. \\\"Yeah but she\\\'s still a kid she didn\\\'t know what romantic love is yet\\\" ...Well the author decided to end it there isn\\\'t anyone\\\'s call but her\\\'s so maybe it was intended. Anyway this is my view, I really can\\\'t cite page numbers like you guys, but I have to say in general, if I walk to an average Inuyasha fan and ask \\\"when you are reading the manga, do you feel like Kagura might had a thing for Sesshomaru\\\" as opposed to \\\"do you feel that by the end of the story, the manga is giving you the feeling that Sesshomaru and Rin will marry eventually\\\". I honestly don\\\'t feel the latter.

Or it could be just Sesshomaru didn\\\'t like anyone romantically yet AKA camp#7, and if there is ever a spin off series about him, we\\\'ll be introduced his lady friend there.

Hey guys let\\\'s go back to the discussion of how it is implied that the bond between Sesshomaru and Kagura is canon and would most likely been continued if he had killed Naraku and freed Kagura before her death.
