Why do you hate kikyo

It hurted her more than any! It broke her heart! Kikyo also died and she accepted her faith. As much as she wants to be with Inuyasha she knows she can't! She understands her destiny! You think that doesn't hurt?

Kagome doesn't even wanna let Inuyasha talk to Kikyo! And Kikyo lets Kagome have Inuyasha Second Kikyo doesn't care if he's a human or half demon. So she wanted to become a human and it will also make Inuyasha a human so they could be together and their love would be eternal! You think she wanted Inuyasha to be a human? She wanted to be with him, to have him.

Priestess can't be with someone nor can they fall in love. So she wanted to be a human she she could be with Inuyasha! Kikyo always made other people happy and protected them. She was always kind and carrying.

She is mature and knows her destiny. I repeat: She accepts her faith! Something you Kikyo haters will never understand Hiding 21 comments LadyLilith said: I don't feel like getting sucked into the arguments I'm just going to say that most people are too immature to understand her story.

They love InuYashaxKagome, and all they see is Kikyo getting in between them. They don't see a character who met a tragic end, they don't see how she provides conflict between InuYashaxKagome and therefore makes the story BETTER, they just act like they've gotta or something. Yes, it's stupid bullshit. I could understand if she were a character someone simply didn't like, which happens sometimes, there are just characters you just don't like. I appreciate that people have different opinions.

But mostly, people just hate her because she's a supposed obstacle in InuYashaXKagome's relationship. I personally love Kikyo, and I'm grateful to her for being in the story. I just laugh at the pathetic ones and move on with my life, loving Kikyo and the series as I go. A thumb up for yoy! The answer is perfect!!

I know that she went through a hard time but seriously, cant she be a little nicer. When Kagome saved her life she wasn't thankful at all.

That's sad. And through all of this Kagome is understanding about the pain she is going through. Kikyo trys to act mature but is still jealous of Kagome and won't give him up even when she knows she dead and being with her would only hurt Inuyasha.

And that's the main thing that bothers me. It's not that I think she is getting in the way of Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship but that she doesn't even wish for the one she loved to be happy. PurpleLulu said: Rest assured, I don't like either Kikyo or Kagome, so I don't dislike either because of their relationship to Inuyasha. I actually hate Kikyo less than Kagome whom I have burning hatred for , but it's not for a very flattering reason.

I can't hate Kikyo much because I don't understand her at all. I just don't get why she does what she does or feels what she feels. It's just so mind-bogglingly I can't even say stupid, it's just so bizarre! She finds out Inuyasha didn't betray her and that Naraku I think that's his name set up the whole death-thing. Nothing changes. She still tries killing him, talking about how much she was hurt by him, and it I kept waiting for her to explain another thing that made her angry, or maybe to find out Kikyo was just an evil demon in disguise or something, I just couldn't wrap my head around someone who could still angst and be angry about something they KNOW, and have been told quite bluntly didn't happen.

It's not so much hatred I feel for her than frustration and irritation. What is she doing? I don't get it, it's so I want to say retarded simply for how incomprehensible her motives are. Twenty episodes after she discovered everything had been a lie and nothing changed. What was the point in telling her?

It's like she doesn't hear or interact with anything in front of her, too busy being an emo for absolutely no reason. I honestly think the only reason they kept her around was for Inuyasha to have a hard time deciding between either Kagome or Kikyo.

If Kikyo's I would have been fine with Kikyo's life and death, but when she was revived so many times, it kind of got on my nerves. For example you meet a friend in this really "odd" way and her old friend decides to come back so you lose your only friend because of how much time this person spends with her old friend.

Tell me you wouldn't get the least bit annoyed. And the sit commands she makes are a big part of the show, from the very first episode we're shown this command that keeps the fearful half-demon InuYasha in line. Kagome is extremely useless she's only keeping Inuyasha from destroying a village or hundreds, and the times when she saved InuYasha's life useless junk oml. 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.

As in she's one of the two characters the show is based around. She yells at him too a lot yeah she's a human can she now not have any emotions, people like Kagome a lot more, because she seems more human. 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.

That's why people hate Kikyo, that's why I hate Kikyo. She's a nice girl and I'd respect her story if she didn't come and mess things up for Kagome who barely has a chance in this world, this world which has become her life.

So that's why you hate Kikyo I see Well thank you for the answer. SorrowInside posted over a year ago. Well, wait, she didn't say that she hated her. I respect that you just want them together. But the question is 'why does everyone hate Kikyo so much'. If not then it's not a place for and answer like this Her lovable down-to-earth personality makes her likable. Fangirls can easily compair themselves with her.

She talks with little emotion but her words are powerful. I personally like Kagome Kagome's down-to-earth personality?

She IS down-to-earth bcuz she helps everyone, n isn't disgusted by any Well, how No NV99 posted over a year ago. I actually respect this answer.

Well put, and this is coming from an InuyashaxKikyo fan. Agreed, that is a good point. Kikyo has always been misunderstood by almost everybody else. Open your minds people. Just saying Her soul has become dark. Plus, she now takes the lost souls of girls and not letting them cross over! This was true when she appered, her attitude changed later.

BeansTheAmazing said: I'm totally late to the party, but I felt the need to add my thoughts anyway. I wouldn't say I hate Kikyo, mostly because she's a fictional character, but she is one of my least favorite characters in all anime. Throughout the series, I just always felt that she was rather cold.

In the flashbacks we see of her, she seems like a lovely person, though maybe a tad unaccepting. As a rule, I generally just hate that in a person. Even in the flashbacks we see, she always had that feel about her.

The first time I ever watched the scene where she asks Inuyasha to become human, I was like, "So you love him, but you want to use this gem to change a fundamental part of his being so he is both more suitable for you, and you can have the life YOU want? Also, the fact that she refused to accept her death and insisted on remaining with the living soley for vengence bothered me as well. It boils down to, though she was very kind to children and villagers, it seemed like she refused to accept the person she "loved.

Kagome was just the more open minded and kind one, in my opinion. Kagome was not necessarily a burden, she motivated Inuyasha to be better, both in battle and as a person And yes, she tells him to sit all the time, but he usually deserves it.

All in all, Kikyo never sat well with me, and I honestly feel like she put so much into hiding her emotions, that she forgot what they truly felt like. I've never liked Kikyo, I never will. She's just one of those characters that I always felt like I should feel bad for, but never could because I didn't think they needed or deserved pity. Late is fine, so long as you have a valid opinion. 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.

Kikyo completely accepted her fate and died knowingly and went with the intention of taking the Shikon Jewel with her so it couldn't be abused for evil. Kikyo did not ask Inuyasha to become human because she wanted to be free of her duties or a better life, but because she genuinly believed it would be a better thing for him to be human, or to become human, as quote, "if you become human the jewel would probabaly cease to exist.

You like most people got her story wrong, and that is so frustrating. Watch it again and pay closer attention while blocking out your mind only then can you understand Kikyo.

It may take a few reviews to get her story right sesshyswind posted over a year ago. Also you have to understand when Kikyo was ressurected she wasn't herself, she was a broke ghost frozen in time.

Her true soul was with Kagome so when that got taken back she was just left with fragments of her former self. It is just not fare to judge her on simply that.

This is the one thing that pisses me off the most about inuyasha fans, since most of them are children they don't understand the true depth of the story. It is too deep and dark for them andjust pick up on the simple minded stuff and commet on that. Kikyo is a character that takes some delving into to fully understand and appriciate the part and role she plays in the story which is quite vital, since if it wasn't for her there wouldn't be a story at all.

It simply wouldn't exist sesshyswind posted over a year ago. Hiding 2 comments I actually am quite impressed with this answer. It is some valid reasoning, in my opinion, and this is coming from a Kikyo fan.

I greatly respect view differing from mine, so long as they are intelligent and thought out. 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. I do not believe she intended to be, of course, but I think she should have been more relaxed about it and allow him to make the choice, based upon what HE wanted, not what she wanted.

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. Not saying it was necessarily right on her end, but I can understand it. And as someone else said on here, it should not have been so easy to turn them against one another, but then again, I can understand how that happened too; they had both grown up to rely solely upon themselves, and trust did not come easily.

Especially for Kikyo; InuYasha could have turned around at any given second and tried to steal the jewel from her when her guard was down, so when 'InuYasha' Naraku cut her down and took it, she must have been fully expecting it, although she wouldn't want to. Who would want to? And it's also absolutely terrifying when you first fall in love with someone, especially if you have trust issues. I know from experience. XD They did not really have time to relax and begin to build the foundations of a relationship.

Anyway, not saying how you feel about her is wrong by any means, but explaining possible reasons as to how things escalated the way they did.

Your answer made me really step back and look at her character again, I love that. I'm sorry I'm coming really late to the party to but I just had to say that thank you for explainging things so well because honestly I don't truly Hate Kikyo it's more I hate what she does and how she acts. 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?

That's why I thought they made Kagome so different from her was to give the pure spirit of the priestess but the ability to truly and completely love Inuyasha in ways Kikyo couldn't.

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!

It could've added more depth and excitement to the story! Still though I agree with you Kikyo was cold manipulative and didn't care for anyone accept herself and partially Inuyasha and some children which I do give her credit for but thanks for summing it up why I can't like her!

Inuyashamylove posted over a year ago. SourPatch36 said: If you ask me it's all misplaced hate. Even though Kikyo's presence is what causes the problem it is InuYasha who indulges in it and in the end it is his decision that determines the fate of he and Kagome. I personally think that Kikyo really isn't the same person he fell in love with and if he really wants to be with her then he would go die with her forever in eternity like she ultimately wants instead of sticking around and Kagome, but obviously even though he is still holding on to his feeling for Kikyo he still feels something for Kagome or else he'd never have the feelings, like jealousy, for her.

Thank you someone realizes she's not the same person he fell in love with! I hate Kagome, and really like Kikyo. Kagome is a "damsel in distress" character in which I hate , and even though she can protect herself, she chooses not to. She complains about nothing, she always brings a burden upon Inuyasha, and she never seems to not get into to trouble!

Seriously, talk about a useless character. She never helps out villages like Kikyo does, and relies on her friends to help the villagers while she free loads. On the other hand, Kikyo cares for villagers and plays with children. She is an independent soul who doesn't cry for someone's help for no reason what so ever, and she is more than just a love interest in the show like Kagome is.

Ugh, sorry for the rant, but Kagome is probably the only anime character I'll ever despise. I like the way you think.

I know that feel, she is such a mary sue NV99 posted over a year ago. SoulxMaka said: Ok i'm gonna be straight up honest I don't like kikyo. And don't bash my opinion please? Yes i'm and Inukag lover I don't hate kikyo because of that well partly because she's always in the way And some of you would be like but she died for him, ok that is true love I just don't like the fact that she wants him to go to hell with her and stuff.

Also I don't really like her personality sometimes , like when she almoasted killed Kagome? Or when she gave sacred jewels to Naraku even though it was to "destroy him' Shes just one of those anime characters I dislike.

So that's my opinion please don't bash on it. Lovehinagurl44 said: I guess it's because she's dead and keeps trying to get with Inuyasha. Kagome has a chance to but Kikyo keeps showing up and trying to convince him she's more important. Kagome and Inuyasha makes more sense since they're both alive.

I don't really hate Kikyo I just think its not right for her to be with Inuyasha. Kagome saw Kikyo kiss Inuyasha yet she still helps him out and also Kikyo helped Naraku out by giving all the shards that Kagome and Inuyasha collected.

She is made of clay, she changed, once she was kind but now no. That is why I hate Kikyo. With Kikyo, he was very serious and sad. With Kagome, he honestly just seemed more like himself.

Kagome could be very immature at times. At the beginning of the show, in order to control Inuyasha before they become friends, she could say "sit" and a magical necklace would force him to the ground.

It was understandable at the time since he was attacking her. However, she would start to say it just when he mad her angry. While women brutalizing men is often played as comedy in anime, we have to admit it is problematic. Inuyasha did not really have friends when he was with Kikyo. Their relationship was isolated.

With Kagome, he made a lot of friends. His world was not just about her like it was with Kikyo. That is healthy. Not only did he make friends, but they were Kagome's friends too. Between Kikyo and Kagome, his friends would be there for Kagome. Kikyo was not a team player while Kagome was. Most Kikyo fans argue that Inuyasha and Kikyo's love is deeper and what he has with Kagome, but what does that mean?

Well, it's a first love. It's an old love. It is the kind of love that is tragic and hurts. It is some Romeo and Juliet level narrative.

That is what they mean. Kikyo was there before Kagome and she and Inuyasha went through a lot together. The more pain a couple goes through together sometimes just makes their love stronger. This may sound silly, but it makes a good point. Kagome is from the future. Hiding 5 comments I agree soulfire. I don't hate her, but I don't necessarily like her either.

However I think she is a good character and adds depth to the story. KotokoAihara posted over a year ago. Your understanding of the situation is wrong. Kikyo is a duty bound woman, because she thought that if Inuyasha wished to become human that the Shikon no Tama would be purified and vanish into air, therefore lifting a great burden on pretty much the world not just her.

She is NOT so shallow or selfish to think that way. She was NOT after her own freedom. Just thought I'd throw that in there. I was just contemplating the the possibility of her using him. And as I stated I don't hate Kikyo, but from what I've seen and my interpretation of the dialog she was making it appear that she wanted him to change. Not only for her benefit, but so they can be together. And I agree its not a completely self-fish request especially since she is human and won't live as long as he will.

Anyways i appreciate your input, but i still hold my opinion that she wanted him to change. She loved Inuyasha even when he was a half demon however she was a priestess and had to put her duties first and also she couldn't marry a demon because of who she is FarheenKhan posted over a year ago.

I also think she is important, because without Kikyo's existing, there would have been little reason for Kagome and Inuyasha to ever meet, and that would have been sad. Takahashi did state that Kikyo and Inuyasha were each others first love, so I do not doubt that it was love, but some stated she might have also wanted Inuyasha to help grant her freedom by becoming human. This might be considered a selfish love, but it does not mean there was no love there.

I like Kikyo, but I just like Inuyasha and Kagome better, because when I observed the characters in the anime and manga, it seems like Kikyo was a lot more mature than Inuyasha, she just seemed altogether older and I think Kagome and Inuyasha's personalities are better suited for one another. They just seem like they have more fun together. But I don't hate Kikyo at all. Thank you for being so mature about this, especially since you prefer InuYasha and Kagome together.

I really like your answer KotokoAihara posted over a year ago.
