She was always ready to sacrifice Kagome's life as long as Inuyasha was ok, yet Kagome always saved her just so Inuyasha wouldn't suffer emotionally. AS WELL AS TRY TO SEND INUYASHA TO HELL. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any episode... Kikyo is always mature, pure, calm, thoughtful, helpful and even let Kagome have her only love. What's her destiny to wait until Kagome has all of the shards then appear out of nowhere and take them a long with Kagome's life. Yes she was a priestess and yes she protected the village and the sacred jewel; but she was still selfish. I personally dont hate Kikiyo but she annoys me by her cold attitude. She is suppose to be this good, sensible, mature and responsible girl but I just saw her as an immature senseless girl who made a fool of herself. You think that doesn't hurt? I'm a dude so I can speak from a different point of view. Well, wait, she didn't say that she hated her. She seems to have this "strong independent woman" vibe but tried to attack Kagome over a man, which, in my opinion, is really pathetic, especially when Kagome always forgave her. I suggest that you should consider that later on, Kikyo hid herself most of the time. 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. It broke her heart!) That's all. And the only ways to do it is letting Naraku to have Shikon Jewel and pure him with it at the same time. And what dark secrets do her cousin hold that not even s... #inuyasha #kagome #naraku 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. The reason why sesshomaru hates inuyasha is because he thinks because it’s his fault that their father (inutashio) died trying to to protect izoyoi and inuyasha . 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. I mean she killed the person who bought her back to "life". I just wanted to state why i prefer (remember i said PREFER) Kagome. I need a full and normal answer. For tuning the Shikon jewel to evil. I think people hate her mainly because they think she's getting in the way of Kagome and inuyasha's relationship, which is retarded. While most people learn to ride as children, even adults find it difficult to learn to ride a bike if they skipped their lessons in childhood. She is made of clay, she changed, once she was kind but now no. She also steals souls for no reason because she honestly didn't contribute too much to the fight. But what did she ever did that Kikyo didn't? I don't 'hate' Kikyo. The only difference between them is their eyes; … Kikyo never trusted InuYasha, while InuYasha trusted her and loved her with his life! said Inuyasha. 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. When it shattered, its pieces flew far and wide across all of Japan, which established the setting for the series. So, because of this, it should have been much harder for him to keep the evil aspect of himself suppressed before he was able to get a hold of the sword. Kikyo did arrow him through. What I don't get is how people dislike Kagome. Naraku couldn't be beaten by normal fight. Kikyo is by far the better woman. blame naraku for every thing kikyo did. 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. They knew what she was doing and just let her do it. Kikyo is the best person in this show PERIOD. OH AND BY THE WAY KIKYO AND INUYASHA WERE A THING BEFORE KAGOME, so actually stupid Kagome actually hurt herself. 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. Take Inuyasha's feelings for her for example, she wanted to use that to change which he was so that she could lead a normal life even though that wasn't his wish. Dogs don't use their claws as weapons; their claws are used to help in digging and to maintain traction when running on various surfaces. Why didn't she simply change into something more practical? Nope. I think that somewhere in her mind, she used him just to get out of her responsibilities as a priestess because Inuyasha is the one available and willing. 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!

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. they just didn't understand kikyo..! I'm from asia, and as far as i'm aware of, most people in asia ( japan, china, philipines, etc )love kikyo.. *Nod* Yep, like I said in mine.

She annoys me because she causes everyone a great amount of pain but that doesn't seem to bother her. Kikyo wouldn't try to help Kagome and on occasion would have killed Kagome if Inuyasha had not interrupted. I felt that way too for a moment but I realized it wasn't Kikyo I disliked, but InuYasha for choosing Kikyo over Kagome. She was once consumed by the hatred... but it was before she learned about the truth. There was a passing comment by Kagome that he might have married Ayame, but that's all that was said about what happened to him.

So basically Inuyasha is the reason for BOTH of their haters. Kikyo confronts Naraku, who had been spying on her; Kikyō surmises that it's because Naraku still has Onigumo's heart beating within him, and bears feelings towards her. Kikyo simply took him as he was, and they were truly equals in love. Kagome is constantly jealous and displays this in the most infuriating manner. Or even the relationship status thingy. Like Naraku, pinned back against a tree by Inuyasha's claws, one of Inuyasha's hands wrapped around his enemy's dick. posted over a year ago.

They are also not retractable like a cat's, which begs the question, why were they used as if they were a cat's claws? That's just how things work with pretty much anything complex in life.

She quickly found herself embroiled in the events of the series back in Feudal Japan, which seems like a rather risky affair. This doesn't add up when you consider all the events she has taken part in. That is why I hate Kikyo.

I know , i am really late (and nobody will read this) but truthfully i dont hate Kikiyo, but the reason i prefer Kagome is because Kikiyo wanted to change Inyuasha into a human, though Kagome was able to accept him as a half breed, yet Kikiyo wanted to change him to human (full) DONT GET ME WRONG.

She annoys me because after Kagome could have left her dead in the waterfall and keep Inuyasha to herself but she didn't she saved her. Another nitpicking piece has to do with Sesshoumaru's sword, which he somehow kept, but got rid of whenever he transformed. Also, " fictional mass murders " hardly seems to describe him correctly either, in my opinion, because he does not always kill simply to kill and such; he does whatever he wishes to do for power, and innocent people usually get caught in between -- so they die. 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.

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." Kikyo helped others too, she loved children always played with them, helped the villagers. When the series came to an end, she graduated from High School, but that doesn't seem possible when you think of all the times she missed school. I DO NOT HATE KIKIYO.

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.

A thumb up for yoy! Presumably, the shards would have been safe in the present without the treat of some demon stumbling upon them and taking them for themselves. 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. Kagome could make her way through to the past and back, but that was mostly it in terms of people. She wanted Inuyasha to use the sacred jewel to be human. Well i think InuYasha and Kagome should be a couple not Kikyo and InuYasha!!!

Her fans take after her.. butthurt over a parting kiss.... wow. I get she was hurt, but she knew the circumstances eventually and still behaved like a hurt, jealous, child and I just couldn't connect with such a lame personality. She's tried to kill Inuyasha without hearing an explanation and even after she knows Inuyasha did nothing wrong she starts a war path against everyone like a wild demon. D. ... How does Onigumo fit into Inuyasha? Her lovable down-to-earth personality makes her likable. She just didn't want to accept him which is shitty.
