Why does naraku hate kikyo

In his eyes the Shikon belonged to him. I believe Naraku never loved kikyo all that he truly loved is the Shikon no Tama and nothin else mattered but gettin the jewel in his possition! Kuro Misora.

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. Teramon posted over a year ago. 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. No offence to Kikyo lovers! And Kagome also helped her once at the cave and the other some where I forgot :s No offence once again but my opinion. I love both the characters But you know, I don't think Kikyou is a bad person.

In fact, I love her. But I guess we can't change other people's minds and opinions. Kikyou even sacrificed her life so that the Shikon Jewel would be driven out of the world, but her regrets made her bound with the world, causing her to be revived. Also, when Kohaku Sango's sister almost died, Kikyou chose to revive Kohaku instead of killing Naraku, her archenemy. MaiEska said: I dont hate Kikyo but I did once before why?

Kikyo is a character that you need to actually need to understand by looking at her story. She is thought to be cold-hearted. Which she isn't. To be the miko of her village. None of you seem to notice that she smiles and is kind the little children. Hating her because she gets in the way of InuKag is stupid. Honestly,the only one at fault is Inuyasha himself. He keeps luring them both on and hurting both their feelings due to him not being able to decide.

He still loves both of them though. You can't possibly understand Kikyo though,when you don't look deeper into her character. She's not like what everyone says. Kikyo doesn't look similar to her and is prettier,smarter,kinder and actually not annoying. Tell me something. How is Kikyo annoying?

Because she supposedly gets in the way of "Inukag? Honestly,character wise Kikyo is a way better character in depth wise. Also,hating Kikyo because you like kagome is pathetic. It really is. I don't hate Kikyo, but I'll tell you why my friend is so obsessed with Kikyo. She said Kikyo's bad, because she thinks Inuyasha's the one who killed her.

I said to her, yeah, you are right, but I said Kikyo's nice too, but She becomes bad because Inuyasha likes to pick all the pieces of that, um She thinks it that way. Naraku also gained the ability to trap attacks like the Wind Scar in the flow of his demonic energy until he decided to release it. After he saw that Inuyasha valued his companions, Naraku began to destroy Mount Hakurei. He taunted them, and said that sharing the same grave would be his one mercy to them. She questioned him as to what Kagura was escaping Mount Hakurei with, and why he would go to all the trouble of erecting a sacred barrier.

Naraku gloated that he would never die and fled once more. After he learned that the shard was taken to the Borderland Between the Afterlife and the Land of the Living , Naraku tasked the Infant with looking into the souls of priests as they departed to the other side. The plan backfired, one would need to be dead in order to pass or be turned to stone, then killed.

Seeing that he had no other option, Naraku sought out Princess Abi and her mother, Tekkei , and hoped that since they both had originated from Hell itself, they could create a path to the Borderland for him to find the Shikon Jewel shard. He gave Abi a trident that was made of his bones that could erect a barrier and create miasma, in exchange for helping collect human blood to dilute the poison of a venomous demon that Tekkei had ingested.

At the same time, Naraku sent Kohaku and Kanna to a human castle to pass the Infant off as the newborn of the lord and lady. Naraku sought her out in a fruitless search. Eventually, Abi grew tired of Inuyasha's interference with the blood collection, turned against him, attacked the castle the Infant was in, and thought that Naraku was there.

Naraku recalled his minions, and placed the Infant in Kanna's care. When Tekkei had recovered from ingesting all the human blood that he had helped collect, Naraku tricked her into swallowing him whole. He popped out of her head merely moments after Inuyasha's group had arrived, and killed her. Giving Abi a quick and painless death, Naraku then proceeded to decapitate Tekkei and released a torrent of blood, which lead him and Inuyasha's group to the Borderland. After the demon was weakened enough, Naraku appeared before his enemies and claimed the shard.

This led to an endless stampede of demon rats. She had already fled, and ended up destroying the shrine that the rats had come from. This orb hid the demonic energy of its owner, thus it would effectively keep the Infant, who was being cared for by Kanna, safe from harm.

He nearly succeeded in having her decapitated by Kohaku, but Inuyasha arrived and prevented his victory. After he gifted the Nulling Stone to the Infant, Naraku told him of how Gakusanjin had used it, and asked his heart how he would use it in his place.

When questioned as to why he let her live, Naraku explained to his incarnation that he held Kagura's heart in his hands; he could kill her anytime he wished, but he had a final task for her. Naraku tricked Kagura into leading Inuyasha's group to the stone ogre, where he made it come to life and try to digest them, and hoped to only leave the Shikon Jewel Shard behind.

When Inuyasha tried empowering Tessaiga with the shard, Naraku corrupted it with the jewel's darkness, and hoped that it would make Inuyasha kill his comrades. However, this didn't come to pass as Kagome purified Inuyasha and the shard, which allowed them to escape the stone ogre.

Naraku tasked Kagura with making sure that he stayed inside; he'd kill her if she failed this time. They obtained the final shard from Inuyasha's group and went after Kohaku next. Naraku then revealed that the reason that he had created the Infant as an infant and purposely made him so weak, while providing him with a powerful barrier, was because he always knew his heart would turn against him.

Miroku tried sucking the Infant into the Wind Tunnel, but Naraku sent out miasma, which poisoned the monk far more worse than in their initial encounters and left "miasma wounds" that nearly reached Miroku's heart. The re-absorption may have meant that Naraku had lost the invulnerability that he obtained from keeping his heart outside his body. This left him with only one option to prevent himself from being purified.

Left with no other option, Naraku returned to Mt. Hakurei to reabsorb the heart of Onigumo which he discarded there. It possessed more intense negative feelings, and these could prevent purification by bringing darkness to the Shikon Jewel. Naraku seemed to confirm this analysis as his heart turned into a spider and burrowed into his body. With his heart completed once again, Naraku gained the ability to create spiders webs, which could easily grab anyone with the slightest bit of corruption in their hearts.

He could also control corpses with his webs, and trapped the spirit of the one that the body belonged to in it. However, Naraku could make his webs visible any time that he wished. Naraku used the webs to corrupt her. Naraku gloated that she would die in the arms of the one that she hated, no doubt something Onigumo's influence was making him do.

When Kagome returned, she discovered the Shikon Jewel in the adamant spike on his right arm. Deciding that he had enough trouble with dealing with the purity inside of the jewel, Naraku sent Byakuya to Kanna. He ordered Kanna to use her mirror to its fullest extent by summoning the Mirror demon. It stole Tessaiga's powers, which were then used against Inuyasha himself.

However, a heavy price was to be paid for this power; Kanna healed any injury the demon suffered by taking them in herself. In the end, she lost her right arm and left hand, while Tessaiga got its powers back. Because Kanna would no longer be of any use to Naraku with her being unable to hold her mirror again, Kagome told Kanna that she was free. However, Naraku told Kanna that it wasn't over and that she was going to take Inuyasha's group with her to the afterlife.

He crushed her heart, and made Kanna and the Mirror demon explode in an attempt to kill Inuyasha's group. However, no other casualties aside from Kanna occurred. Naraku wondered to himself if Kanna was upset for not being able to kill his enemies, before he thought better of the idea as since she was an incarnation of the Void, and she couldn't have any feelings.

Little did he know, Kanna had decided to betray him this one time and used a fragment of herself to tell Kagome that the speck of light in the Shikon Jewel could kill him. He ordered Byakuya to prevent anyone from coming to assist Kohaku.

After he followed them, Naraku attempted to decapitate Kohaku so he could take his head and defile the shard at his leisure. Failing, he attempted to use his demonic energy to force Kohaku to behead himself. However, Sango arrived and tossed her restored Hiraikotsu at Naraku.

Thinking it would be a fruitless effort, Naraku quickly discovered the weapon was different now as it shattered his body along with his demonic energy. After he saw that he wasn't recovering, Naraku was forced to flee for his life. Using Byakuya as a medium to see the fight between the two brothers, Naraku became amused when the Path to the Underworld opened and sucked Inuyasha in.

When Tenseiga broke, Naraku laughed that both his enemies would never return to the World of the Living. Naraku next went after Hitomiko , who he had previously tried to kill 15 years ago. Thanks to possessing the Shikon Jewel, he was able to weaken her to the point of dying.

Using his spider webs, Naraku forced her spirit to linger in her corpse and ordered her to steal Kagome's spiritual power. Capturing Kagome, Naraku informed her of the spider that he had planted in Hitomiko's chest that would cause her to die a demon if shot by a sacred arrow; Kagome would become corrupt enough for Naraku to imprison her in his webs then.

However, Kagome realized the importance of her name and used the bow from Mount Azusa to land a hit on him, which freed Hitomiko's soul from his grasp and allowed her to pass on in peace, but not before she warned Kagome that someone was sealing her true spiritual powers. Naraku informed Magatsuhi that if he remained still, Midoriko would gain control of the jewel and purify all the evil they had worked hard to amass. Naraku donated some of his spare parts to the spirit of the demon, which allowed him to craft a new body for himself.

Magatsuhi was able to, in contrast to Naraku, not only touch the shard in Kohaku's back, but corrupt it as well. However, Naraku knew that the body that he lent to Magatsuhi was destroyed and predicted that the devious spirit would amass demons as a distraction so he could possess Kohaku. When that came to pass, Naraku attempted to take the shard from Kohaku. Naraku captured Kagome, and promised to let her go if Kohaku gave up his shard.

After he broke away, Naraku hid in the clouds while a piece of his severed flesh managed to remove the shard and brought it to him, which restored the jewel. Magatsuhi brought Rin to Naraku to use as a hostage. Naraku had defiled the jewel to the point where there's not room for Magatsuhi anymore. When asked by Byakuya what he would do with the jewel, Naraku admitted that he had no real plans for it and wondered what would be left for him when he killed all the people who had hated him.

Naraku used the fully dark jewel to begin his final transformation, healed his wounds, and swallowed Rin into his body. Naraku flew into the clouds, and created a miasma storm as he took on the form of a gigantic spider. However, within this new body, his opponents met several variations of his traditional humanoid form.

Naraku planned to use the hope of this light to trick Miroku into killing the others with the last use of his Wind Tunnel. However, he was prevented from doing so thanks to Inuyasha. At the same time, Naraku almost tricked Sango into killing Rin along with an illusion of himself. Both acts would have purged the light from within the jewel, but both were prevented. When the group arrived, Naraku separated Miroku and Sango from the others, and laughed that the couple would wait for the Wind Tunnel to end their lives.

With this darkness, Naraku took on a form that was similar to the previous one before his transformation, only darker in color. Naraku said that even if he died, the jewel would not. This confused Kagome as that meant that Naraku had no real objective.

Kagome asks what Naraku's true wish was, since it seemed that the jewel had not granted it. That question startled him greatly. Kagome told Naraku that he seemed to know a lot about relationships because he focused so much on tearing people apart, and mentioned that this was because of his human heart, which the Shikon Jewel may not have removed. Because of Bakusaiga's decomposing powers, Naraku's large outer body begins to fall apart. Cornered because of this, Naraku fed his spirit to the jewel to gain more power, and took on a more horrific appearance - his true face.

As his massive body began to fall onto the village, everyone escaped from within and tried to protect the villagers. Kagome saw the Shikon no Tama within Naraku and shot an arrow at the jewel. Naraku's whirlpool of energy and miasma were completely purified and most of the village was saved from destruction. Naraku's spirit, appeared as only a head above the pierced jewel, hovered above the Bone-Eater's Well and said to Inuyasha that he made a different wish upon the Shikon no Tama earlier in the battle, and that when he died that wish would be granted.

It was revealed the wish that Naraku had made was actually the wish of the Jewel itself: that the spirits of Naraku and Kagome would replace the Demon of the Shikon no Tama and Midoriko, and continue their battle inside the jewel for eternity. Indeed, with Inuyasha's attack at this very point, the purity of the Jewel called Naohi annihilates forever the evil corrupting presence within it, then the Jewel's shimmering and voice completely stopped. Instead, in the anime version, Naraku's spirit, inside the Jewel, briefly awakened, commented on how he felt warm and wondered if what he felt was peace, then gave a slight smile as he disappeared, finally purified and content.

Though long gone by the time Towa , Setsuna and Moroha return from the modern era , Naraku has not been forgotten. Later when Towa and Setsuna met up with Miroku, he told them about how he was once cursed with the Wind Tunnel even though he did not mention that it was Naraku who cursed him. Ironically Miroku had become heavily dependent on the Wind Tunnel in battle, having used it against many demons, including Naraku himself.

In the years following Naraku's defeat, Miroku had experienced several close calls in battle, making him realize that his over reliance on the Wind Tunnel had left him vulnerable now that it was gone. He shut down her spiritual defenses so that she would simply wither away under the influence of his very presence.
