I'm not sure if it's even possible for them to conceive. Inuyasha is a half-demon and Kagome is 100% human, last I checked. If Kagome and Inuyasha were to mate under a new moon (or was it full moon?) the moment he turns human, it could be possible. But then one would argue if the child would be born human or 1/4 demon?
Annnnd I'm digging way too deep in this....
Don't worry, it's absolutely possible.
I mean, they're human and half-human, and that's closer together than full demon and human, like Inuyasha's mom. She was 100% human.
I think it would be 1/4 demon and 3/4 demon. Can't lose that demon blood! At least it'll have dog ears. :3
But no, there's no kid in the anime, to answer the thread question.
except that if you know enough about genetics you'd know that hybrids are often either infertile or near infertile. mules are infertile, and while ligers and tygons (lion/tiger hybrids) sometimes have offspring of their own it's INCREDIBLY rare. quite frankly, with hybrid species they're more likely to be fertile if the species they're a hybrid of are very close genetically (like a coydog or coywolf; those are fertile hybrids because the coyote, canis latrans, is very close genetically to the wolf/domestic dog, canis lupus/canis lupus familiaris), so it's rather likely that a human/demon hybrid would be sterile if RL genetics falls into play.
I see your point. But then again, what genetics are in demon blood? We'll never know. Inuyasha's demon side could be part human, and part dog, and part who-knows-what.
But, not to offend, this is anime and let the fangirls dream on xDDDDDD
I'd assume demons had demon genes, which would then be further categorized into what subtype of demon they were. but then I'm thinking in logical real life genetics thinking here. there's obviously some leeway since in reality a human can't even produce viable offspring with their closest known living genetic relatives (yes,
many years back someone actually DID try to create a human/chimp hybrid, back when "for science!" was an excuse that would justify far, FAR more than it can today) so realistically speaking a human/demon hybrid would be unlikely from the beginning.
We don't know the halfdemons are sterile, or not. If they make love, after we will know it few weeks later. If Kagome get pregnant, then InuYasha isn't sterile. The human with monkey pairing is a bit different. From the begining the demons (of course i mean the demons, who can be in human form, have human feelings and similar, or same genetics like the humans) and humans can make child(ren). So the halfdemons have chance 50% yes and 50% no they can make child(ren), or not. We couldn't know it sure. But the humans and monkeys can't make child(ren) from the begining, that's the difference (too).
chimps are apes, not monkeys, there is a difference between a monkey and an ape.
and in fact genetically we're closer to chimps than a donkey is to a horse and those can produce offspring together. furthermore, the difference in the number of chromosomes in human and chimp DNA is different only by two chromosomes, just like with donkeys and horses. looking at it on a genetic level it should actually be more likely for a human and chimp to have a viable offspring (and one that should be more likely to be able produce offspring of its own) than a donkey and a horse. however, while genetically it looks like it should be possible it isn't, even if donkeys and horses can produce offspring, even if they are sterile like many types of hybrids are. sterility, full or partial, in hybrids is pretty much to be expected on a genetic standpoint. the nature of speciation, of one group making itself distinct from another species, is to distinguish that group physically and genetically from others to the point where breeding with other species is rarely or ever done and rarely if ever produces offspring if it does happen. that's why most often hybrids are sterile, altho there are cases of non-sterile hybrids as I have mentioned before. those non-sterile ones make up only a small percentage of true hybrids tho (for example, altho a wolfdog is called a hybrid it's technically not, as dogs are actually a domesticated subspecies of wolf which is why they can easily produce offspring of their own with wolves, dogs, and other wolfdogs; whereas a wolf and coyote are two different species but genetically still rather close and can produce a true fertile hybrid and in fact the red wolf turned out not to be a true wolf at all but a species that was a stable hybrid of wolf and coyote).
and it's pretty clear that there ARE some significant genetic differences between humans and demons in the InuYasha universe. all the half demons we see show traits atypical of the human side of their parentage that reflect the nature of the demon side of their parentage. some of these traits are rather significant and they're passed on no matter what form their demon parent is in when doing the deed with their human one. this does indicate there is probably enough difference between a human and demon that any offspring would probably be infertile, if real life genetics work in that setting anyway.
