Why hate Kikyo?

Sometimes you wonder, why hate her? Well:

She kept trying to drag Inu Yasha down into hell with her, when all he wanted to do was avenge her death. And even after she gave up on trying to drag him down to hell for a bit, she still talks about how when Naraku is gone.... They will be together in hell.


 She killed another human... In front of a CHILD! I mean, even if poor Sayo hadn't been there, the FACT IS she STILL killed a human! Kikyo says to the monk, "If you had only overlooked me, you would not have had to die..."

I doubt that the old, human Kikyo would have killed a human. But that is one of the major differences between the two versions. Zombie Kikyo has no remorse.


 She lives off of the souls of innocent dead women! Their poor souls are being used to "fuel" her clay body before they can reach heaven or be reincarnated. Kikyo is deliberately messing with the natural processes of their after-lives.


 She stole the jewel shards Kagome had collected and handed them over to Naraku, increasing his power. Plus, her reason for doing this makes absolutely no sense at all!


 When Kagome's arrow destroyed his first body, Naraku was very weak. Kikyo walked into the cave where the monsters were fighting each other (in order to make Naraku a new body) and promptly broke the spell. She handed Naraku a newer, incredibly strong body on a SILVER PLATTER. Had she shot the demon, it would have been destroyed. But no, Kikyo chose to make things that much more difficult.


 She's cold and unfeeling and never shows any emotion. Oh, wait, my mistake. She gets angry, and she gets sad. TWO whole emotions! One would think she was manic depressive or something.


 When Kagome saved her life, not ONCE but TWICE (episode #98 & #151), Kikyo didn't even thank her! It doesn't matter if your worst enemy is the one who saves your butt, it's common courtesy to be thankful. But I guess with all that Miko training, Kikyo never had the time to learn manners.

After all, in episode 98 Kikyo was prepared to give up and rot away in that cave. It was Kagome's will that got them out of there! In episode 151, Kagome didn't hesitate for a second to save Kikyo.Why? Because Kagome is a loving, selfless person. Kikyo is the total opposite.


 Kikyo is all about hatred and vengeance. It's like, it was 50 years ago, girl, LET IT GO ALREADY! Most girls would have given it up after the first six months! But nooooo, not Kikyo. She even gets a second chance at living a life. One would think that would be enough motivation to get past anything holding you back, like insane grudges that don't make any sense. But Kikyo isn't moving forward at all. Like Kagome said, she is stuck on the last day of her human life.


 She is incredibly narrow-minded and flat out refuses to accept anyone else's point of view/input (just like her fans!). I mean, they told her the truth about her death, she ignores it. Inuyasha tells her to be careful and to not underestimate Naraku, but she goes and almost gets herself destroyed by him. Like, TAKE A HINT every once in a while! It might save your second life!


 She was very quick to think Inuyasha had betrayed him. She did not hesitate to turn on him. She never thought to stop and ask him WHY he had done what he did; instead it was just shoot first and ask questions later.

Maybe if Kikyo had stopped to try and talk to Inuyasha first instead of shooting him, maybe they could've worked things out more easily. So much for THAT theory.


 She feels hatred and jealousy towards Kagome because Kagome was the one who changed Inuyasha for the better. Kikyo slowly started the transformation, but ruined it when she "betrayed" Inuyasha. When he was set free, he was all about getting the Shikon no Tama to become a full demon. Kagome had to start from scratch to teach him about love. Only she is actually getting through to him. She has also given Inuyasha what he wanted most, which was a family, unlike Kikyo, who gave him only betrayal and a fifty-year-old grudge.


 Kikyo was given the duty of protecting the Shikon no Tama. But THEN all she does is complain about how she could never be a "normal" woman and how she would not be allowed to fall in love. There's a simple solution for this. When they asked her if she wanted the job, she should have just said NO! I'm sure that, in all of Japan, there was another Miko powerful enough to do the job. I think Kikyo was the closest, so she was asked first.


 Kikyo was going to use the Shikon no Tama for selfish reasons, to turn Inuyasha into a human. Kikyo was tired of guarding the jewel and by using it on Inuyasha, she would have nothing left to guard. She wanted to live a normal life; to hell with her duty.

That's how life WAS back then (and still is in some parts of the world). People are born into certain professions/jobs. The only way to escape it would be to run away. But Kikyo had a CHOICE.

Perhaps Inuyasha wanted to become human to be with her, but the fact remains that Kikyo was given the Shikon no Tama to PROTECT it. Not to use it in any way she wanted!
