| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I wouldn't say Kikyou is evil for killing since she has a reason to live^^ Inuyasha isn't the kind to just attack Kikyou due to their strong bond so obviously they won't go into a fight :D |

| Poor Kikyou... It looks like the only way she can stay alive(?) is by collecting and using the souls of forlorn women. We'll see what happens when Inuyasha and Kagome catch up with her. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| I wouldn't call Kikyou "evil" though. An evil being wouldn't care for those children like she obviously did, though if she continues to wonder like this her soul could definitely become corrupted. I wonder where this story line is going to go... |

| YES! Kikyo is still alive! Very nice Kikyo driven episode. I enjoyed it, I find Kikyo or should I say the "new" Kikyo to be very fascinating and interesting and I'm very entertained when Kikyo is featured in an episode. The "new" Kikyo is much more villainous, I felt bad for the guy who tried to stop her from taking the girl's souls and I thought what he said about the deceased should stay deceased and that she shouldn't be taking the souls because it's taking away from those girl's futures. I love the InuYasha/Kikyo dynamic so I like it when InuYasha thinks about Kikyo and when he ditched everyone to look for Kikyo. I find it entertaining when Kagome is a little jealous. I don't know I just really enjoy the InuYasha and Kikyo dynamic and I'm very happy when they see eachother and their interactions. I find episodes that Kikyo are featured in to be a little more entertaining. I loved the ending with Kagome finding Kikyo, it's definitely going to be interesting seeing InuYasha's two main love interests interact. 5/5, another entertaining episode. |
| Kykou can't trust Inuyasha yet because she still believes he betrayed her when in reality is what Naraku. She doesn't know who Naraku is, and he made himself pass as Inuyasha so she isn't going to make the same mistake again. It'll be interesting how Inuyasha sorts out his emotions as the show continues. |
 |
| Interesting episode, I didn't really think Kikyo's soul had been vanquished in that waterfall accident. Dying to know what will happen during the Kagome-Kikyo confrontation |
| Ohhh, Kagome... 'Watch out where you step! The ground is slippery!'' slip the whole way down So Kikyou eat the spirits of the dead? That's... kinda fucked up :/ I guess she has just no choice. I feel bad for that monk too. He was just trying to do his job. At least, he didn't even seem mad when he died. The was just : ''Meh, shit happen''. |

| I don't know guys, Devouring souls, no matter the reason, strikes me as pretty evil. Though I will accept that she tries to minimize her evil toward the living. |
 |
| Kykyo story si so sad and tragic, Hamlet ain't shit to her.... Kagome seems to be jealous that Inuyasha still love Kykyo, i like it ! |
| Yeah you're right from her point have corse she as it good, but from the audience view it's really sad |
| Kagome is just a high schooler, so she's still immature and jealous. Kikyo is Inuyasha's first love. Cut them some slack. Their love ended tragically and incomplete. Of course he's still in love with her, so back off and let him do his thing. Damn. You're still alive, so you'll get your turn soon. Let Kikyo and Inuyasha get their closure, stupid jealous girl who's too prideful to admit you're crushing on Inuyasha =____= |
| I dont really feel sorry for Kikyou anymore she seems more a unreasonable **** |
 |
| Kikyo has turned quite evil Curious to see how the gang is going to deal with her. |
 |
| Kikyou is back!! Still, I'm really surprise they are making her a more prominent character. I thought she was going to stay dead, but that would be too early tbh. Monk priest should have stayed on his lane, but alas it is what it is. |
| So is Kikyou gathering random souls to keep her clay body alive or is she hoping one of the souls might be hers/Kagome's? |

| so kikyo is taking the dead souls for herself, i don't want to take sides or something, but i really didn't understand why it's bad, the body is dead already... and of course inuyasha would want to take care of the demon without the fragment, it's related to kikyo after all... |
| Hmm Kikyo isn't really evil but she's not good either. Somewhere in between, unfortunately it seems like she won't understand that Inuyasha wasn't the one who killed her. |
| So Kikyo IS alive. Though not sure if devouring souls to live would be called living... Kikyo's story is just so sad and painful. It makes me hate Naraku so much for ruining her and Inuyasha's lives. Kikyo used to be gentle and truly kind but the false hatred made her fall from grace. I think she was also tired of being the shrine maiden and she was expecting the Shikon jewel to be used so she could finally live a normal life with Inuyasha. But in the end, she destroyed the jewel out of spite. It might've been a smart move cause if she used it to stay alive, she probably would've gone evil anyway. Now that she's brought back to life by an evil witch, she will continue to fall, unless Inuyasha gives her salvation. User-Name said: The body might be dead but the soul must move on to the afterlife or be reincarnated I guess. By devouring the souls of the departed Kikyo is being extremely selfish and disrupting the natural order of things. so kikyo is taking the dead souls for herself, i don't want to take sides or something, but i really didn't understand why it's bad, the body is dead already... and of course inuyasha would want to take care of the demon without the fragment, it's related to kikyo after all... |
0451 said: you probably right, but it's been long time since i watched inuyasha, so it's pain now to remember why i thought there's no problem lol.User-Name said: The body might be dead but the soul must move on to the afterlife or be reincarnated I guess.

(hint rather than spoiler: continue watching to see more disorders in the world of inuyasha lol) |
