Just saying... :). Presumably, the shards would have been safe in the present without the treat of some demon stumbling upon them and taking them for themselves. Her actions in the past could have resulted in her present as she knows it, but there was never an explanation given, so who knows? Kagome has to go back and make everything seem normal, but how can she when Inuyasha keeps popping up asking her to come back. So what more do you guys want from her? Watch it again and pay closer attention while blocking out your mind only then can you understand Kikyo. Kikyo felt way more pain than Kagome will ever have! Kikyo didn't trust him enough. Kikyo is the best person in this show PERIOD. With so many episodes, certain aspects of the story and some of the characters' traits are bound to lose some clarity. For tuning the Shikon jewel to evil. What did Kikyo ever do that you all hate her so much? because she is clearly getting in the way of the perfect relationship between inuyasha and kagome I know that she was there first but I think her time has now past and she should let go also I feel that kagome and inuyasha are a slightly better pair than him and kikyo. There was no explanation for it. She FINALLY gets better in the final act. The series quickly established that shards from the Shikon Jewel could be used by demons to greatly increase their power. I just think that Inuyasha doesn't belong with her, because their relationship was too easy to tear apart. The Noh Mask and the Soul Piper were still about, but they were lost or hidden for a long time so they were likely missed by whatever catastrophe befell the monsters of old Japan. She fell in love, and died thinking the person she loved betrayed her. Inuyasha is my favorite anime show im sad that i finished it and watched the movies thanks to my older sister because if she never showed me i dont know where i would jk lol i just wanted to make it dramatic but yea inuyasha is my favorite anime show and so enjoy!! I don't really hate Kikyo I just think its not right for her to be with Inuyasha. That is so, so frustrating. So basically Inuyasha is the reason for BOTH of their haters. As in she's one of the two characters the show is based around. In the past, Miroku demonstrated a number of spiritual abilities with his spells, but those abilities seem to be only available to people in the past. She is not a homewrecker and if ever told to butt out she would. Unfortunately, one character was left out without much said as to what happened to him. She is considered a bete noire because people prefer to see Inuyasha and Kagome together. Jonathan is a graphic artist, illustrator, writer, and game designer. Naraku laeft his hand outstretched to me as his words slowly twisted my mind. And they hate Kagome because "The bitch tells poor Inu to sit!" Demons weren't the only creatures present throughout Feudal Japan who seem to have vanished by the present era. Why could she transport things like her bicycle and schoolwork, but not another person? A. So he/she told why. That's all I can think of... you sooo right maybe if iy was the other way around it would be different. B. Feel the hate. Kikyo never trusted InuYasha, while InuYasha trusted her and loved her with his life! Believe me I know Kagome has lots of flaws but all in all she was not afraid to admit her feelings and to let her true self out right from the start and yes she's young immature naive and gullible but she also because she's like that can love in a way Kikyo couldn't and therefore give Inuyasha what he needs so to me it came off as Kikyo just getting in the way and yessss I know the tried and true Kikyo is in the way but it is true she is in the way don't get me wrong I like KIKYO but I think maybe they should've done something different with her character instead of making her get in the way all the time that way the true Kikyo could ahve shined more and not came out to be such a villian! ! Also Kikyo has a "strong&silent" quality that intimidates people. While most of the series was easy to follow and fun to watch, there were a few aspects of the story that didn't make much sense. posted over a year ago. She IS down-to-earth bcuz she helps everyone, n isn't disgusted by any1.. jinnenji for instance... well i hate her because she need to die and move on and let inuyasha and kagome be together <3 thats all!!!!!!! I don't really understand why people hate her. Granted, they don't weigh a lot, but that doesn't mean she was able to easily move it into and out of the well in the way it is depicted in the series. inuyasha dose not want to die so why make him and she wants kagome to die as well. For possessing so many jewel fragments. When Naraku first appeared in the series, he wore a white baboon cloak-like outfit that hid his face. A Member of Townsquare Entertainment News. It's not like Kikyo forced it upon him, he wanted to be with her. It seems like this is one of those things the viewers accept because there is no explanation given, but it doesn't make much sense when you think about it for more than a minute or two. Kikyo didn't try to take InuYasha from Kagome! Something you Kikyo haters will never understand.... @flaming-wave666 you are definitely perfect dude..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that's my opinion please don't bash on it ._. 1.he is mean to rin all the time no matter what. PLEASE YOU GOTTA TELL ME! He can do no wrong, after all. It simply wouldn't exist. i think they hate kikyo cuz the ending is inu and kagome togather so the makikyon characters are kikyonu and kagome why would they bother looking at others if they love inuyasha well that goes for girls i love kikyo as inuyashas whife i dont like kagome she is the jelous type i cryed when kikyo died :'( but i have to get over it sens kagome is kikyo's recarnation than kikyo will be with inuyasha too cuz kagome has kikyo's soul anyways the reason they hate kikyo is mostely cuz they dont like her and inu togather or maybe i should say cuz they already know she wont be with him (sorry for miss spells some my computer keys arent working sorry), I like kikyo why would inuyasha married kagome instead i like when kikyo kiss inuyasa are they suppose to get married. I actually like Kagome x Inuyasha better. Where was Koga and what happened to him that we didn't get to see? How is Kagome any better than her. Kikyo wouldn't try to help Kagome and on occasion would have killed Kagome if Inuyasha had not interrupted. And she curses others, such as Naraku and etc. i'm betting ur a guy so u wont get it, but if u thought u were betrayed by the person u loved most u'd want to kill em too. Like most anime, Inuyasha closed out with a pretty good explanation of what happened to the main characters in the series. Because she wasn't Kikyo anymore! True. Furthermore the way she treated Kagome was abominable. For putting Kagome in so much danger. Kikyo passed away back during the Feudal Japan period and likely would have been reincarnated soon after her passing, but hundreds of years passed before Kagome was born. ACTUALLY LIKE KIKYO. Are there any other things about Inuyasha that make no sense? I see... Well thank you for the answer. Obviously there were some behavioral differences. And for her being so in love with him, she was so quick to believe he betrayed him without looking for explanations. It's one of those aspects of the series that only works if you don't think about it much... or know anything about physics and gravity. But then again, they both were lonely souls who craved to just be normal, to be accepted, so I could see how it was a win-win for both of them. That is the FIRST thing we ever see of her in chapter and episode 1. They bumped in each other accidentally. The only problem that didn't make any sense was why the shards fell so far from each other. As much as she wants to be with Inuyasha she knows she can't! After she died, her soul was reincarnated in the form of Kagome, who took her place in the living world. She even tried to push InuYasha away! While this was obviously a plot device meant to limit who and what could make their way through the well, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny without an explanation. The Exam is introduced when Inuyasha and his team hole up in an inn without knowing its the site of the Exam. It could've added more depth and excitement to the story! She's not the worst person ever but she's definitely a really annoying character. kagome halps inuyasha she saved his life in a lote of episodes i knows kikyo did but kagome did not kill him and i no naraku put inuyasha and kikyo agents each other but even though kikyo no that she wants inuyasha to die. I think the reason most people hate her is because they love Inuyasha and Kagome together, so they find Kikyo as a nuisance who keeps getting in their way. they just didn't understand kikyo..! no offense but none of what u said about kikyo is absolutely WRONG WRONG WRONG. Where is her faith in him? And I actually agree with you as far as wanting to change him human; I hadn't thought back on it much, but now that I do, it seems quite selfish. And for what? Paradoxes form all the time based on events carried out in the past. I can understand if you don't like her but that much? She quickly found herself embroiled in the events of the series back in Feudal Japan, which seems like a rather risky affair. My point is she does a lot for the show, although she's not as strong as the other demon characters, she is a huge HUGE part. Inuyasha is a manipulative jerk. kagome took all sorts of aches for him, yet can't hurt him. but as far as that goes,... From what I get from your comment it seems you just don't understand her character well enough, your and I quote ' Also, the fact that she refused to accept her death and insisted on remaining with the living soley for vengence bothered me as well. ' And she tried to drag Inuyasha to hell. Like the 'Team Edward/Team Jacob' Twilight bullshit. Her character development is amazing think about when she go Resurrected she was stuck in a moment in time which she hated Inuyasha and wanted to kill him she didn't know anything else she didn't know Naraku plan everything she just knew that Inuyasha betrayed her okay I do admit that some of the things she did was cruel but the way she atoned was amazing slowly and slowly we saw her goin back to how she used to be until the climax where she did the ultimate sacrifice and gave Kagome Inuyasha. Move on to the afterlife and let others be in peice. Shippō ends up in a position where a good grade could be earned by getting revenge on Inuyasha, but there doesn't seem to be much of a point to the whole thing. Its not just she tried to kill Kagome, and Inuyasha. When it came to inanimate objects, she could take whatever she liked. Also I think the reason no one understands her is because she lived during that time and was a priestess. 5. For that, Kikyo heart was full of hatred and anger and the whole dark energy of the jewel seems to be very strong. The fact the MirSan a better developed couple is overshadowed by this sickens me. It depends on your opinion if you like her or not. Nazuna. When the series began, Kagome was beginning her career as a Junior High School student. I mean she killed the person who bought her back to "life". Its just her attitude at it all. Where do you get this from? Or when she gave sacred jewels to Naraku(even though it was to "destroy him') Shes just one of those anime characters I dislike. That's all. i don't really hate her but the fact she tried killing inuyasha and kagome wasn't cool but i still like her. Ugh! When you think about it, Kagome is lucky she was able to complete her education at all given how much of it she actually missed. I don't hate Kikyo, but I'll tell you why my friend is so obsessed with Kikyo. He was a shapeshifter and as such, no one knew what he actually looked like. This one might be a bit more in the nitpicking category than anything else, but how did Kagome get her bike up and down the well without some sort of rope & pulley system helping her out? That's just how things work with pretty much anything complex in life. She is the type that is not happy so all else must suffer. D. Naraku is his resurrection after the demons ate him. "I don't know, but we'll know once I sense a sacred Shikon Jewel," said Kagome. It is some valid reasoning, in my opinion, and this is coming from a Kikyo fan. She also steals souls for no reason because she honestly didn't contribute too much to the fight. But oh, nobody ever hates on poor, perfect little Inuyasha!!! Time travel is one of those storytelling tropes that often raises more questions than it answers. The reasons they claim she deserved the hate have been refuted over and over again, but they will be repeated til the end of time. Also, I don't think she ever truly accepted Inuyasha. It was Inuyahsa who kept hurting Kagome you thoughtless twit. She is mature and knows her destiny. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's claw weapons are some of their most devastating and useful, but they don't make a lot of sense. The answer is perfect!! I just think that Inuyasha doesn't belong with her, because their relationship was too easy to tear apart. It was so sick and pathetic that even in her forced revival, she was a spiteful spirit who chose to continue living by stealing other's souls just so she can complete her revenge. Inu.. InuYasha? It appeared that a single shard could empower a demon as much as the entire Jewel in its completed state, which doesn't make a lot of sense. Technically, the sword was instrumental in his transformation, but that doesn't explain what happens to it when he transforms from a human into his full-demonic form. Given the long period of time that passed between reincarnations, it does make it seem like there was something missing here. Kikyo was Inuyasha’s first love; however, due to Naraku’s ploy, their romance had a tragic end. The series quickly established who and what could travel through the Bone Eater's Well on Kagome's family grounds, but that list was limited. Well, wait, she didn't say that she hated her. Kagome just stays in the feudal era to see InuYasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo. i don't think she is because she had tragic life even after naraku killed her and inuyasha. Because he took over Kagewaki's body, he has Kagewaki's long black hair and pale skin, as well as his build and voice. Kagome is a stupid school girl who did nothing noble. She also tried to drag InuYasha to hell, and for most those who haven't experienced love(not high school crush or anything, but actual love), they would only see her as pure evil. If not then it's not a place for and answer like this... well.....in the start the anime is mostly all about her , so what if she died big woop .just get over it, Because people prefer Kagome. Cookies help us bring you Fanpop. ANYONE who says Kikyo is bad in anyway is just wrong. How has she not affected her timeline and made everything different? While we see Kikyo grow into the kind, beautiful, loving woman she truly is. That's sad. Kagome also has no development at all, i would forgive all of her flaws, if there was development, but she stays her bratty self in the end. That being said, there were a few things about Inuyasha that just don't make a lot of sense when you get right down to it. my my.. you just read my thoughts aloud... leave the last part pls.. i didn't know of inuyasha when i was 12.. @kandrakar... that's for humour ya know.. n it isn't like inuyasha wud break some ribs.. bsides he's the one who exasperates her to take such actions, though i believe her self control dissipates many time.. but being temperamental has nothing to do wid bein down to earth. D. ... How does Onigumo fit into Inuyasha? I know from experience. Plus, she now takes the lost souls of girls and not letting them cross over! You think she wanted Inuyasha to be a human? NOTHING IS OR WILL EVER BE NORMAL. 5 Inuyasha Characters That Could Have Defeated Naraku (& 5 That Never Stood a Chance) Naraku is the main villain of the anime Inuyasha. A. It is just one of those things that defies reason. said Inuyasha. The go-to source for comic book and superhero movie fans. Seriously, talk about a useless character. She acts calm, and she takes things into her own hands. She;s misunderdstood, cold, distant, and tries to show no weakness liek she says when she she asks Inuyasha, " Do I seem human to you?" In any reality, someone who missed so much school should have been expelled... long ago. Kikyo was perfect, innocent, pure, but then she comes back as someone who at first wants to kill InuYasha for a misunderstanding and until a long time after her revival she refuses to listen to any of it. on another note, why are so many people hating her because she "gets in the way", I don't ship often so I probably don't understand but you should ship what you want and not hate a character for "getting in the way" if it's a good character... because i dont want her to be inuyashas wife or what else.i want kagome! well kikyo died after all -_- be happy now inu and that stupid kagome goten married and shit so yea :P plus kikyo did a lot for inuyasha she loved him aaaand he was her only love she really loved him and trusted him and she died for him as ik anyways im not good at explaining. I know she had a hard life but honestly in real life we don't give excuses like that when they try to hurt others. KYAAA! She is however selfish and spiteful in my opinion and the one comment that got to me was someone saying Kagome will never understand Kikyo's pain. Kikyo did arrow him through. XD They did not really have time to relax and begin to build the foundations of a relationship. ...
