Why I prefer Kikyo over Kagome
If you’ve watched Inuyasha, then you definitely know why I compare Kikyo with Kagome. They’re like, according to fans, rivals. At at some point, in the show, they actually are. The main reason is of course, Inuyasha’s attention.
You can’t deny, Kagome is kinda jealous sometimes. And Kikyo can’t stand this girl. I mean she looks like her, she uses the same powers, she even steal her man. Can’t blame her.
Since I’m an Inuyasha fan, I haven’t found someone to love both. Or even like them both. No. Or Kikyo, or Kagome. Now, don’t think this is a fact. It’s possible to exist fans who love them both. But, again, I haven’t heard this yet.
And, of course, I prefer one of them. That’s Kikyo.
She was first
Kagome may be beautiful, may know how to fight, Inuyasha may love her but you know what ? Kikyo was actually first. She was the one who made Inuyasha fall in love with her. She convinced him to want to turn into a human. She’s the only one Inyasha wanted to marry with initially. She was the first archer. And she’s still better. Even Inuyasha, comparing them, admits that. She was first. No one can deny it.
Inuyasha still loves her, for more than half of the show
This is a fact. At least for the first two seasons, Inuyasha is still dieing for her. I mean, ever single time he hears something about her or if she’s around he runs to her. It does no matter if Kagome is with him. Of course, he doesn’t want to show it, but this is how it is. She still loves her. Remember when she came back to life ? He couldn’t fight with her, literary. She had him. And even she tried to kill him, he still wants her. He seems to forget what she’d done to him. Or when she fought into that miasma and Naraku took Kikyo, he was something like : ‘I won’t let you touch her!’ or something. It doesn’t necessary means that he loves her but he carries for her. Even more than for Kagome, at some point. And, after all, he’s not Ichigo or Allen to care for people, he seems to hate people, at first. So, carrying for Kikyo is a thing. Plus countless kisses and hugs.
She doesn’t interfere with anyone
I’m sick and tired of all the crazy fan girls who keep saying Kikyo is getting in Inuyasha’s way. Actually, it’s not like this. I’ve previously said that Inuyasha is the one who runs to her every time he sees a possibility. Not Kikyo. Now, if Inuyasha wanted Kagome, wouldn’t he just ignore Kikyo ? Logically, that’s what he would have done. But no. Plus, Kikyo seems to hate him. She even tries to kill him various times. If she can’t stand Kagome, it’s understandable. If I were her, I wouldn’t stand Kagome too.
She’s a complex character
Unlike Kagome, she’s a complex character. I mean, Kagome is just a teenager very easy to read. She’s like an open book. I could stick my hand in the fire that she’d fell hard for Inuyasha. And that’s what she did. She’s just foreseeable. Too foreseeable. On the other hand, Kikyo it’s a very interesting character. You have to analyze her actions to understand them. At some point she seems she doesn’t understand herself. She just wants to become what she was once. Also, she’s
unpredictable. Some fans think that she’s getting in Inyasha and Kagome’s way, but they don’t see the facts with her eyes. If they did it, maybe she wouldn’t be so hated …
I just see her much more beautiful than Kagome
Honestly, to me, she’s much more beautiful than Kagome. She’s so delicate and handsome. Plus her melancholy smile drives me crazy. Kagome’s teenager look annoys me, just like her whole personality. But that’s just me.
OK, that’s just my opinion. I know most of the fans won’t agree with me but this won’t make me change my mind. I would’ve preferred Kikyo over Kagome, even if she’d killed Inuyasha or someone else. She’s beautiful, strong, lovely and she’s just different. But again, that’s just me !
