The Evolution of Fluffy

Volume 29

Ch 4. Getting longer...

Volume 30

Ch 8. ...and longer.

Volume 32

Ch 8. Though now, as its length increases, it's width seems to be decreasing, just a little.

Volume 33

Ch 5. Except when it does that, of course.

Ch 6. Now his legs are turning into Fluffy?

Ch 7. More flying Fluffyness. I don't think he hardly even landed in these back-to-the-grave chapters.

Volume 35

Ch 4. Most of Fluffy hangs out behind him.

Volume 36

Ch 3. I think it just got even longer.

Ch 5. It's still big, but not as much (or as puffy) as it was around volumes 16-25. Though it's getting longer.

Volume 37

Ch 6. It's like almost twice as long as Sesshoumaru. I wonder if the bottom side that drags gets all dirty.

Ch 6. Definitely not as puffy as it was.

Volume 38

Ch 6. Still long.

Volume 41

Ch 5. Takahashi sure is loving the weird flying scenes in these later volumes.

Ch 7. And here, Sesshoumaru seems to have landed, yet Fluffy is still spiraling around.

Ch 8. While it's not as wide on his shoulder, it's becoming bunched up on his back.

Volume 42

Ch 1. Definitely not as wide as it used to be. It's shrinking in width, yet growing in length.

Volume 43

Ch 4. Thinner on the shoulder....

Ch 7. ....but longer and longer.

Volume 46

Ch 8. Straightforward Fluffy shot.

Volume 47

Ch 8. Fluffy is bunched up again, probably because if it weren't, it would be trailing twenty-five feet behind him.

Ch 9. And it stretches as he jumps.

Ch 9. Whatever.

Ch 10. Twirly twirly.

Volume 48

Ch 1. Another average shot.

Ch 2. It looks like he's got a hiking pack on.

So....

No one can think of Sesshoumaru without thinking of Fluffy. It's become almost an entity of its own. So what is up with Fluffy? No one knows, maybe not even Rumiko herself, but I think it's clear that we may not have Sesshoumaru around for much longer. Soon, Fluffy will completely cover him up, leaving us with nothing but a gigantic puffball.

Maybe it would look something like this: (A fanart by Kurohime. Find more of her stuff here.)

And here is another possibility of Sesshoumaru and the Fluffy's ultimate fate: (by Patrioil, DeviantART.)
