At first, I like watching InuYasha very much and would stay up late to watch it.

But gradually I just choosed some episodes relating to Kikyou to watch.

I must say that Kikyou is my godness for her selflessness and gentleness.

Kikyo was my favorite, I had watched it on TV many times and used to always get excited for the episode when Kikyo and Inuyasha first met or any other ones that featured her. I wanted Kikyo and Inuyasha to end up together in the end but too bad all my ships always sink. Kagome was ok, I didn't dislike her but I didn't exactly like her either.

I have the same feeling as you. Indeed I always hope that Kikyo could live together with InuYasha, but it turned out that my dream will never come true.

Kikyo dying was enough for her, I hate her personality when she was resurected. Kagome is cool, quite young but still cool. Like others said, Sango best girl.

Kikyo is one of the most frustrating characters ever, don't understand how anyone could've rooted for her over Kagome. She just wouldn't die and constantly walked around acting all angsty. On top of that, every time she pops back into the story, she stops the momentum of the show dead in its tracks.

That said, as many others point out, Sango is the true answer.

dat dead-even poll tho

I liked the real dead Kikyo a lot more than not dead reincarnation Kikyo.
It is quite tragic what happen to her and Inuyasha, though.
Kagome's was good, I liked her. Her dynamic with Inuyasha worked well in a more humorist way, where Kikyo was a more serious one.

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how well Rumiko makes her characters? They're always a blast to watch.

Neither, why would this come up in a forum. I dropped two shows and one is Inyuyasha. Inyuyasha is a dog so he acts like a dog and kagome is his abbusive owner. Kikyou is just a spirit of the past that needs to move on. Just like people need to move on from this show.

Kagome.
Kikyou is evil and a terribad character who outlasted her welcome and then some.

Sango is the best lady character though, by far.

I hated Kikyo, I hated her more than anything. But as the series went along, and I grew up along with it, I saw that Kikyo was more relatable, and more beautiful, than I had originally thought.


In the end... I still prefer Kagome :P

I haven't watched this show since I was a little kid but I remember always thinking that Kikyou had more class than Kagome. But since Kagome was the main girl I supported her more and fucking hated it when Kikyou went in between her and Inuyasha lol. So, Kagome.

From the result, most people like Kagome more than Kikyo.

But more will take Sango as their favorite!

I feel a little bit sad because I really really really love Kikyo.

She is my favorite anime character.

I just had to chime in on this debate because I have VERY strong feelings about this argument. The correct answer is obviously Kagome. She is Inuyasha's true soulmate because she truly accepts Inuyasha for who he is. Kikyo wants Inuyasha to become human in order to be with her despite the fact that she knows (as Inuyasha makes clear on several occasions) that being half-demon is important to his identity. So much so that in fact he wants to become fully demon.

Kagome truly loves Inuyasha for the half-demon that he is. She loves him unconditionally unlike Kikyo. Kagome always treats Kikyo with respect and is very understanding of Inuyasha and Kikyo's relationship (more than most people would be) whereas Kikyo is pretty fucking rude to Kagome on several occasions.

I don't hate Kikyo at all. I think she's integral to the plot and she represents Inuyasha's past that serves to illustrate just how much Kagome is able to help Inuyasha grow...BUT how on earth anyone can prefer Kikyo to Kagome is absolutely beyond me. Kagome is so likeable and endearing in contrast to Kikyo.

Inuyasha x Kagome forever. Sorry for the rant, I have a lot of feelings on the subject.

P.S. I also really like Sango...and Rin

I could never really decide with this. Kikyou did a lot of stuff that was just plain spiteful. She had her reasons, but she left them blind her to the truth. Kagome is one of the main characters, but I feel like she really didn't do anything special. Sango was a much more formidable character.

I like Kagome. I'm not fond of Kikyo much, but I admit her death (final lol) was sad. I blame people not liking Kikyo because they simply didn't give her much development and set her up like that.

Despite learning the truth about Naraku having her and Inuyasha betray each other, she still had a goal of bringing Inuyasha down to hell with her and tried to kill Kagome multiple times. Eventually it subsided, but her character was strange and a lot of times her actions either didn't make sense or contradicted her. I also found it strange that rather than wish for Inuyasha's happiness, she'd rather have him die anyway.

If the story didn't have Kagome, I would have totally been rooting for Kikyo. Her love with Inuyasha seemed passionate, and I would have loved to see the story unfold with her as the main character. The only time we see a different change in expression from her is at her final death, which I know her character is supposed to have her guard up at all times, but it didn't emphasize that until the end. Her appearances throughout the series seemed random and forced, like "hey here's an old wound, let's continue to re-open the same old wound" and didn't give her much development as a character, which is why she seemed repetitive like a broken record.

Kikyo's love was out of sorrow though. Despite meeting Inuyasha as a half-demon, she still wished for him to be human, meaning she wanted to accept him as human, not a half-demon. Kagome accepted him for the way he was, even after seeing him in his full demon form and stayed by his side.

My last turn off for Kikyo and Inuyasha's relationship is that they so easily believed they were betrayed, their trust broke so easily.

Ah.. this debate..

IDK why but I never got the debate because if Kagome is reincarnation of Kikyo, why differentiate :p To me they are the same person or 'soul'

That is why I never understood why Kagome felt so jealous and pained over Inuyasha's feelings for Kikyo, it was herself in her past life - it's infact so romantic that Inuyasha is in love with her in her past life. But, Kagome despite her jealous/hurtful feelings and such very young age, shows the transcending nature of love which really touched my heart.

I always felt bad for Kikyou.. so lost, not dead, not alive.. tragic.. I liked her..

Tbh, after a while I found it hard to support the Inuyasha x Kagome ship. Even though they're the same soul, they're still different people. What upsetted Kagome was that Inuyasha constantly just saw Kikyo in her, and that's why I found it hard to support this pair. Her and Kikyo really aren't the same; they've both had their own hardships and dealt with them differently. Had Kikyo not died, I'm sure Inuyasha would have chosen Kikyo over Kagome at any moment post-Naraku's death. And I'm sure Kagome knew that...

I prefer Kagome, I don't particularly like Kikyou, though I don't hate her either. I don't understand the need to hate on one of them.
