Shippo appears sporadically in “Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon,” mainly in a supportive role, and his backstory after “Inuyasha” is not extensively covered.
In “Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon,” the sequel to the popular anime “Inuyasha,” Shippo’s role is significantly reduced compared to the original series. He is no longer one of the main characters and instead appears occasionally to provide assistance or guidance to the new protagonists, who are the daughters of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
Shippo, the young fox demon from “Inuyasha,” was known for his desire to become a full-fledged demon and his journey alongside Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku. After the events of “Inuyasha,” it is implied that Shippo continued to train and improve his skills, although the specifics of his activities are not thoroughly explored in “Yashahime.”
When Shippo does appear in “Yashahime,” he is shown to have matured and gained more control over his magical abilities, though the extent of his growth is not a central focus of the plot. Fans of the original series may have hoped for more insight into Shippo’s life after “Inuyasha,” but “Yashahime” primarily concentrates on the next generation of characters, leaving much of Shippo’s story since the original series to the audience’s imagination.
