When I was a child, I always saw this in a certain forum or post: "I liked Kagome when I first watched "Inuyasha", but when I grew up, I fell in love with Kikyo." Yes, no one doesn't love the red-haired and black-haired one. Miko, the eighth episode of the finale, may be one of the most beautiful scenes in the history of animation. Kikyo is lying in Inuyasha's arms and slowly turns into a little star in the night sky. Inuyasha also said that Kikyo is the most important person in his life.
Then, the camera shifted to Kagome, who was sitting on the grass tugging her knees and sobbing dozens of meters away, because she was one step late and failed to save Kikyo, because Inuyasha lost the person she loved the most, the one who once said, "It would be good if there was no her" The girl, who was humbled to the extreme in an unequal love, could only sit in the distance and cry silently. Every time I look back at the scene here like a masochist, I can't help but feel uncomfortable. It used to be for the death of Kikyo, but now it's more for Kagome's persistence.
If Kagome had never returned to the Warring States period and hadn't pulled out the arrow that sealed Inuyasha, she would have lived a very happy life in the modern age who is hardworking and cheerful. Maybe it wasn't Hojo-kun who had a crush on him, maybe someone else, even someone like Steel Tooth, at least she could get complete love, she could be that person's only one instead of half of Inuyasha's heart.
In episode 48, she saw that Kikyo wanted to pull Inuyasha into hell. She left alone and returned to the present, intending to never see Inuyasha again, so that the memories would be buried like a dream. But when she stood under the Mikami tree, she realized that she really fell in love with him, even if he loved someone else, he had no regrets, even if the person he loved had already died and was just a piece of clay. Does Kikyo love Inu Yasha? Of course, she loves Inuyasha and wants him to go to hell with her, but Kagome wants Inuyasha to live well.
So I made the most classic monologue: "After I came back here, I kept thinking about Inuyasha, Kikyo and myself. When I knew how you felt, I knew that I couldn't stay here anymore... Kikyo and I am completely different, even though I am her reincarnation, but, I am not Kikyo, my heart is my own! So I mustered up the courage to see you... Can I stay by your side?"
The handling of this paragraph is different from the manga and the animation. In the manga, this may be Inuyasha's only confession to Kagome, asking her to stay, but it is said that because the animator is a Kikyo fan, this confession became Kagome's only one. Human mind play. It seems that Inuyasha's feelings for Kagome have been forcibly weakened a lot, which is the regret of many Kagome fans. But because of this, Kagome's image is more admirable, she is the one who follows her inner choice.
Many people blame Inuyasha for being swaying. If you really want to be with Kagome forever, why go back and provoke a dead old love, why make both parties so miserable? I believe that Inuyasha is bitter and insincere, because I didn’t trust Kikyo more at the beginning, and let the bad guy’s plan succeed and then we are separated forever. Such a loss is impossible to be reconciled with, so I feel guilty and want to make up for it, even if I lose my life. no hesitation. So 500 years later, when Kagome, a modern girl who looks exactly like Kikyo, rescued him from his slumber, in order to collect the jade of the four souls, they get along day and night, sharing weal and woe, at first to make up for the guilt of Kikyo, but later they fell in love with him The people around him who have walked this way, Inuyasha walked into a never-ending endless loop.
For decades, people have been discussing who Inuyasha loves more, the red rose or the white rose, the cinnabar mole or the white moonlight. These are all unsolved, because even Inuyasha doesn't know. But Kagome knew that she loved Inuyasha because she liked it too much, so no matter who he loved more, she was willing to accompany him.
People who are entangled in who Inuyasha loves more is nothing more than entangled in who gets more love. Because oneself must be the only one in the minds of others, so brooding can never be freed. But Kagome never flinched from the initial confusion and loss to the final determination and persistence.
No one knows better than herself, because she said: "I know that I will never be able to compare to Kikyo because I am still alive." Yes, no one can compare to the dead, because they are dead, so they will always be in my heart Cinnabar mole, can no longer be forgotten, will not be reconciled.
But she also said: "But I like him, what can I do!" She knows that what matters is her own heart, and she will not be happy if she doesn't follow her own heart.
So, when I watched "Inuyasha" for the first time, I liked Kagome, but when I grew up, I really fell in love with her and fell in love with this character. Kikyo without Inuyasha is a legend in itself. She has all beings in her heart, and love is just a beautiful but regrettable mistake in her life. But Kagome and Inuyasha, as said in the ending, they were born to meet each other, Kagome returned to the Warring States to be with Inuyasha, to teach him love, care and companionship, she is not a substitute for anyone. To paraphrase a sentence from "Tianlong Babu": "There is only one Kagome in all the countries in the world."
Kagome, no other title describes the love in my heart better than her name.
