For God Sake, why is it that almost most of the InuYasha fans I know just hate Kikyou??? I mean obviously for many reasons, but seriously people.. She seems mean and nasty because well.....um.. have any of you heard the saying "the dead have unfinished business". This doesn't exactly account to Kikyou, at least not all of it but think about all of everything she's experienced right before her death. She's dead. To her time stands still. To her nothing has passed ever since her death from "InuYasha's" (naraku) claws. You can't just judge everything on its surface. I know asking this is sorta pointless, but i wanna know what you guys think.

Oh and by the way, I don't hate Kagome either. I'm one of the few who can live liking both Kikyou and Kagome (or many..? i dunno).

I utterly agree with you.I am a huge Kagome fan, but a Kikyou fan at heart.Most people utterly hate Kikyou because they don't understand why she does things, like when she gave that large jewel piece to Naraku, probably they were sick of Kikyou talking and changed the channel before she said she gave the jewel fragment to Naraku so she could send him to hell.Most people also hate Kikyou because they say, "She gets in the way of Kagome and InuYasha's relationship and soon marraige" WTH?InuYasha and Kagome aren't even girlfriend and boyfriend, let alone have a romantic flower huggles relationship.

I don't hate Kikyo. Honestly sometimes I feel sorry for her (raises shield to protect to protect his boy parts from the many, many, arrows of all the rabid Kagome/Inuyasha couple fangirls) I think would like to see her die so that she finally doesn't have to suffer anymore. But honestly I think she needs to get over this whole "if I gotta die I want to take him with me" thing
Just my two zenny

okay...i hate to say it, but i STRONGLY dislike Kikyo. like if i had to choose between her life and Jaken's life, i would choose Jaken. at least he's good for a laugh... Oh, its not like i don't get that she's a tragic figure, and that she's sometimes misunderstood...but i bash her every once and awhile. She mostly creeps me out. and the whole "taking InuYasha with me to the afterlife" thing didn't really boost her popularity in my eyes. besides, can't i just hate her for the sake of hating? i mean, i guess you guys could be offended if it was in real life, but *clears throat, and grabs megaphone* IT'S A C-A-R-T-O-O-N! CARTOON! AN ANIME! UNREAL! FICTIOUS! IMAGINARY! 2-D!!! thank you for your time! ;D

I don't "hate" Kikyou - I understand the tragedy and all - what I can't understand is Inuyasha - I know what it's like to still have feelings for your first love and I can understand his honor of wanting to give up his life for her - but Kikyou died because of NARAKU - not him and avenging her death by slaying Naraku should be enough - her wanting to take him with her to the afterlife is asking alot. He is not responsible for her death - why should she be so embittered over the fact that he lived (thanks to Kagome)? But I don't understand Inuyasha at all - he says he is happy and at peace with Kagome yet he is willing to foresake all that for Kikyou - his life has been nothing but misery - he deserves some measure of happiness.

Sometimes I seriously wonder if it's, like, in the Rabid Fangirl Book of Ridiculous Rules, saying that you can't POSSIBLY be a FAAAAN and actually like both Kagome AND Kikyou, or HEAVEN FORBID, like Kikyou more than Kagome. Honestly, I find Kikyou much more fascinating as a character than Kagome, but I like Kagome much more as a "person" because of her personality. There's something about Kikyou that I really admire, probably her poise and just the fact that she totally kicks ass. But Kagome is so sweet and caring, but recently her character has fallen to the wayside. XP Ah well... There was a time when Kagome had to stand over a fallen Inuyasha and scream at Sesshoumaru to not take a step closer (probably one of my favorite Kagome moments). There was a time when she was being controlled by Tsubaki and fought spirit and body to defeat the darkness. ...whahappun? XD Ah well. Kikyou shows up so infrequently that lately her appearances have actually held much more interest for me than Kagome, who is basically in every single chapter. *LOL* Either way, I like 'em both, but honestly, I think if it were up choosing just between the girls, and not "which girl belongs with Inuyasha," I WOULD say I'm a bigger fan of Kikyou.

Don't hate Kikyou. Not at all.
I like both Kagome and Kikyou. Somehow, when ever I say that, I get weird stares... *sighs*

I like and hate kikyou! I like kikyou because she's fierce and she's afraid of nothing. I dislike kikyou because she's mean to kagome for only one reason or mabye three. she hangs around inuyasha, she's her reincarnation, and because she's a witty reincarnation. Those are just my foolish reasons for why i don't ike her! ;D

Wow, I often wonder why people hate Kikyou as well. That's why I started my own forum at www.fanfictionf.net : entitled "The Kikyou and Kagome Peace Club." But anyways, I happen to like both Kagome and Kikyou. I think most Kikyou haters have never seen the episodes 147-148 called "A Fateful Love Song Before we Met." My friend was a Kikyou hater, but after watching that, she actually felt sympathy towards the poor woman! If you hate Kikyou and are mature about it, then I'd have not problem because everyone's entitle to their own opinion. But some who say that Kikyou is a whore or something along those lines, I think that is immature. Kikyou is not a whore. In life, she has only loved one man who is Inuyasha. But, yea, Kikyou is a good character. I had to stop before I went on a rant. Personally, I like Kagome more than Kikyou, but the miko is still someone I like at heart.

Reasons why people hate Kikyou (tell me if I left out any):
1. "She comes in-between Inu-Yasha & Kagome/upsets Kagome"
2. "She wants to take Inu-Yasha to hell with her"
3. " She is dead, so she deserves to say dead (or something like that)"
4. "She is worthless; made of nothing but clay and dirt-- she does not even bleed"
5. "She is mean/hates/jealous of Kagome"
6. " She steals the souls of the dead-- which is very selfish"
7. "She is very arrogant and/or self-rightious"
8. "She has not done anything very useful ever since she was resurrected"
9. "She distracts Inu-Yasha/makes him have to save her"
10. "She keeps coming back to life"
^ I often hear/read about these "reasons"...I do not disagree nor agree with all or most of them.

Well, I absolutely HATE Kagome. (No flames! ><) (I mostly hate her because everyone pairs her with Sessh. Kagura, I say, Kagura!) But, I love Kikyou. After seeing 147-148 I became a super Inu/Kik fan! Hurrah. =3

I wouldn't say I hate Kikyou but I do dislike the person she was for most of her existance. She has grown up over the course of the series though and she has gotten to the point where I don't want to bitch slap her. Much.
My reasons for disliking her have very little to do with Kagome. The first thing that set me off about her was her attitude toward Inuyasha BEFORE she died. She claimed to love him but couldn't accept a tainted hanyou, he had to change everything about himself to be good enough for her. In order to be free of her responsibilities to the jewel she was going to force him to become human. He hates and fears his human nights but given a choice between being alone for the rest of his life (which could be centuries) or a short lifetime in that condition and actually getting something he never thought he'd have, someone to love him, he was willing to go through with it.
Then when she was resurrected she continued to hate Inu for a while even after she found out he wasn't the one who killed her because he had the bad grace not to die and to start moving on with his life.
Finally there is her arrogance. She is responsible for hundreds of innocent people's deaths because she had a cunning plan and thought she knew what was best. Kagome nearly killed Naraku with one arrow early on. If Kikyou had gotten off her high horse and teamed up with her they could have defeated him long ago. As much as she has grown she still seems to insist on plotting alone and thinks she knows what's best and that's going to cost them now.
