A duel ensued between father and son, and not only Sakura and Rokumon, but Tamako came to Rinne’s aid and she declared that Rinne is dating Sakura, to allow everyone to return to the living world.

Īnd one year prior to the events of the series, Ageha’s sister Bijin attempted to take Sabato down but in the end was seduced by him and became his mysterious beautiful secretary. On the day of a high school entrance exam, Sabato fled from a Gyudon shop without paying and knocked Renge into a lake, which caused her to miss her exam and unable to retake it forced her to become a Damashigami. To the present day, he sends her "love letters" which are thinly veiled requests for money. But over the course of Rinne's life, Sabato frequently took his savings for his own uses, and he would often take out IOUs in his son's name, and continue to burden him under mountains of debt.Īt one point, he encountered Kain and his mother, whom he promised marriage but instead conned her out of most of her money to establish the Damashigami Company. Since he wasn't much of a father, Rinne was raised by his grandparents in the living world.
No one ever knew what happened to her, but Sabato found one of her sandals on the bank of the Sanzu River and used an Emotion Dust which led to the Wheel of Reincarnation and so he deemed her dead. But when his newborn son Rinne was taking his first steps and knocked over a bag containing those books, she hurried out of the house to throw her high school graduation book in the Sanzu River to hide a secret about herself, when a herd of water buffalo suddenly stampeded through and carried her off to the Wheel of Reincarnation. He secretly pawned her Shinigami Scythe for books, which included her high school graduation book, for he wanted to see what his wife looked like back then. They seemed to have had a very wonderful courtship and marriage and spent their honeymoon at an inn in the countryside. Later, he met a beautiful Shinigami named Otome during a Shinigami flower viewing joint party, where they fell in love at first sight, and Sabato proposed to her on that same day.
INUYASHA SEASON 3 EPISODE 75 LICENSE
But when his old teacher from high school who was a Gold License Holder expressed his desire to promote him before having to retire and challenged him to a duel, Sabato managed to defeat him in a silly way thanks to the encouragement of Shinigami Girls and legally got his license promoted to Gold. As he was lazy and not taking his assignments seriously, his License remained Bronze. He is shown to have been a delinquent when he was in middle school. Sabato is the son of Shinigami Tamako and a human male, whom she was supposed to reap the soul of but instead prolonged his life span for 50 years as she fell in love with him. Sabato encourages Rinne's interest in Sakura, and hopes that he will marry and take over the family business so that he can retire one day. At times, he seems to have dozens of different women interested in him, yet he holds a special place in his heart for Ageha's mysterious sister, who also works as his secretary. In addition to his wastefulness with other people's money, Sabato also has a great love of women. Despite that, he does seem knowledgeable on all Shinigami-related things and can be serious sometimes. He is also a moocher, often dragging Rinne into debt by borrowing money and making Rinne the co-signer. He is often seen smiling and talking in a sort of easy-going, ditzy way. Sabato is a greedy and unscrupulous man who hates work and would resort to any ways to get his profits, such as stealing from both his lovers and son alike. Whenever he makes a robbery, he wears the traditional Japanese mask made from a folded tenugui. On a few occasions, mostly during his past, he is seen wearing different clothing (mainly in Hawaiin style when he and Otome were going to buy a house in the living world, and with Bijin). His clothes consist of a white Yukata, featuring the Wheel of Reincarnation at the bottom, with an indigo belt, a cornflower blue haori over and a light blue scarf, which he started wearing after he got married. His hair has a more purple tint in the anime. Sabato has short but slightly wavy red hair with matching red eyes, showing that Rinne got his looks from his father.
