Takahashi's original intention is far more than Inuwei's love - remember to watch "Inuyasha" in 2021

Ruthe 2022-03-22 09:03:01

It has been 20 years since this anime started to be updated. On this day in 2021, how would you feel about watching this anime from the perspective of an adult? Will you be entangled in whether you prefer Kikyo or Kagome? Or see something more? Such as unity, courage, strength and trust? And listen to my chatter below.

Before I watched Inuyasha at station B, my friend said to me: Don't open the barrage, it's just full of hostility, and the two gangs are arguing endlessly on it.

Me: What two gangs?

Friend: It's the male lead's cp, whether it's Kikyo or Kagome, the two gangs stand in line, and there's always a quarrel on the barrage.

Me after watching it.

"It would be too hasty to define the theme of this anime only as love."

Don't look at what I wrote without a signature

When the "Inuyasha" manga started serialization in 1996, I didn't read it;

When the "Inuyasha" anime was broadcast in 2000, I didn't watch it either;

It ended in 2008 and I still haven't watched it.

It's 2021, and this part-time worker is starting to see it.

After watching this anime, I didn't entangle whether the love of the male protagonist in the play was Inu Orange or Inu Wei, but I kept sighing that Aunt Takahashi spy on human nature 20 years ago.

Probably only people with delicate emotions and a thorough understanding of human nature can write such good stories and portray characters with distinct and full personalities.

one. Miserable Miko - Kikyo and Inu Ki

Inuyasha is a half-demon, neither in human society nor in the field of monsters, he cannot be recognized. He is lonely. He had only one very simple purpose in taking the Jade of the Four Souls: to become a complete monster and to be accepted by the monsters.

Kikyo was the most powerful shrine maiden in the Warring States period, shouldering the responsibility of eradicating monsters and purifying the jade of the four souls. She is destined not to be an ordinary woman, unable to live a peaceful life, she must always take the responsibility of defending the village and the weak, and be ready to fight at any time. She is also lonely. The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the heights are too cold.

So when Inuyasha asked Jie Terri why he didn't kill him, she said that because they were all one kind of people, they were all lonely.

When two lonely people meet, it is easy to resonate and empathize, so they fall in love.

Although throughout the anime, I think Inuyasha loves Kagome.

But I can't deny that before I met Kagome and even before the resurrection of Kikyo, Inuyasha loved Kikyo.

This love is sincere. Kikyo is willing to live with Inuyasha after the Jade of the Four Souls disappears, be an ordinary woman, and abandon her responsibility as a witch; Inuyasha is willing to give up the pursuit of monster power for Kikyo, and be willing to become an ordinary mortal who just wants to be with her. Kikyo has one pair for life. If that's not true love, what is?

When they were alienated by Naraku, and Kikyo died with resentment, someone stood up and said: They still didn't love deeply enough, otherwise how could it be so easy to have quarrels. Yes, I can't argue that it's worth considering whether their love is deep or not, but it's also true that it exists.

After being resurrected as a dead person, she wakes up with resentment towards Inuyasha, with a deep love and hatred. Betrayed by someone you love and die alone, it's hard not to feel sympathy for Kikyo. Because of resentment, even after knowing that someone framed her and Inuyasha, she still wanted to go to hell with Inuyasha

Because whether she was framed or not, she couldn't be resurrected, and she couldn't be with Inuyasha anymore.

At this time, Kikyo is full of resentment, because it is full of resentment, so this role in the early stage is very unpleasant.

Especially when she saw that she stole the four soul jade fragments that Kagome and the others finally collected and gave it to Naraku, she was even more angry. But after reading it, she realized that she wanted to wait until Naruo gathered the fragments of the Four Souls Jade and wiped out the Four Souls Jade and Naruo in one fell swoop.

Before that, Kikyo went to his sister, Feng's house, and learned that the real cause of his death was Naraku's trap, and said the following to Feng.

Granny Maple said that Kagome changed Inuyasha, and the Kikyo here is still unwilling, so she said that if she is still alive, she will heal Inuyasha's heart.

This is actually completely understandable.

Without Naraku's trap, Inuyasha and Kikyo would be fine and together. And because of his own death, the man he loved the most was accompanied by another woman, who took away the position that originally belonged to him, so Kikyo would say this, I think it is completely understandable.

After watching the anime, I realized the personality charm of Kikyo even more.

This is a woman with great love in her heart.

Although she wanted to abandon her responsibilities as a witch fifty years ago and just wanted to be with Inuyasha, when she woke up and realized that she was an undead and no longer human, there was only one thing in her heart: to destroy Nai Luo.

Only in this way can human beings be less hurt, and the man they love can live in peace and happiness.

That's why she stole Kagome's fragments and handed them over to Naraku, with the purpose of purifying and destroying them together with Naraku when the jade of the four souls is gathered.

Compared to being alive, Kikyo felt very free at this time.

Because she is already dead, no one asks her to perform any responsibilities, not to be with anyone, not to do anything, and she does not need to consider what others will think of her because of her greatly reduced love and spiritual power... She is very free.

When I listened to Mr. Kaoru Wada's composition for Kikyo, I kept thinking: Why is it a miserable witch?

After reading it, I realized that luck and fate, the fate of Kikyo is doomed.

Whether it was fifty years ago or fifty years later, she was destined to fight. She was destined not to live like an ordinary woman, and she was destined to take on the responsibility of being a witch.

In Inuyasha's heart, he always knew that the resurrected Kikyo was no longer the Kikyo he was fifty years ago.

That's why he said when Kikyo was first resurrected

Said while holding a Kikyo

In Inuyasha's heart, Kikyo's death has always been a knot. He believed that it was his disguise that caused Kikyo's death and that he was unable to protect her. After knowing the truth of Kikyo's death, facing the resurrected Kikyo, in addition to the previous love, there is more guilt. In fact, Inuyasha has always wanted to chase Kikyo. I think more, because he wants to fulfill the responsibility of not protecting her well before. Now he is stronger than before, and he also has Iron Broken Teeth. He wants to go Make up for it.

That's why he ran to find Kikyo when Kikyo was hurt by Naraku's miasma and rushed down the river, even if he knew that Kagome would be sad. In fact, all he wanted to do was to make up for his fault for not protecting her once again, and let her die in Naraku's hands again.

Let's assume: If there is no Naraku, will the Inuyasha after becoming a mortal and the Kikyo whose spiritual power have been greatly reduced will be happy together?

I don't think so.

Use the jade of the four souls to make yourself a mortal, and you can live with Kikyo all the time, but after that?

It can be seen from Inuyasha's desire for strength and the following battles that Inuyasha is a boy with strong self-esteem and a sense of responsibility. He hopes that he can be more powerful and can protect his companions and the people he loves.

Inuyasha, who has no demon power, is just an ordinary mortal, and Kikyo has also greatly reduced his spiritual power because of his love. When faced with danger and monsters, how does Inuyasha protect the woman he loves? Will he allow this to happen?

Whether it was Kikyo, Kagome or his companion, he always blamed himself every time he was hurt, feeling that he didn't protect them well or that he wasn't strong enough. A person with such a strong self-esteem really becomes an ordinary mortal, unable to protect his lover, will he really be happy and happy?

Besides, when Kikyo was a witch, she had a grudge with too many monsters, and even a black witch like Tsubaki, what should they do when they all came to her door?

two. Kagome and Inuwei

Kagome is different from Kikyo. Although Kikyo's soul is reincarnated, Kagome is also an independent individual, she is herself.

She is as beautiful, kind and strong as Kikyo. But the difference is that she is not that lonely. A harmonious family atmosphere, excellent grades, a group of girlfriends, and handsome and considerate suitors, there are people who understand her and accompany her from beginning to end.

Although this resonance with Inuyasha's loneliness is missing, Kagome's most powerful place is tolerance and warmth. She will put herself in the shoes of Inuyasha, Kikyo, and everyone. She can always find emotions and details that everyone does not notice. She can be called a dust girl.

It is precisely because of this tolerance and tenderness that Kagome healed Inuyasha's heart little by little. Let him begin to learn to trust others, and also realize the true meaning of family, friendship and love. Just like the monster in the Jade of the Four Souls in the final chapter said that Kagome was born to fight them, Inuyasha's retort is the summary of his love with Kagome.

In the beginning, Inuyasha didn't believe in anyone, and certainly didn't believe in any monsters. On the way to find the Jade Fragment of the Four Souls, it was because of Kagome's company and encouragement that he gradually learned to trust others.

Compared with Kikyo who wants Inuyasha to become a human and live with her, Kagome's daughter's love is purer.

What she loves with all her heart is Inuyasha, the half-demon Inuyasha.

Looking at the entire anime, Kagome's daughter is simply an angel.

When Kikyo was just resurrected, she heard Inuyasha say that Kikyo hadn't been forgotten for a day

Rationally cut off your own thoughts and said to Inuyasha

When Kikyo fell into the acupuncture point of evil and Inuyasha came to save her, when Kikyo said this, Kagome said objectively

Inuyasha asked what happened to Kikyo when Kikyo took away the Jade of the Four Souls

When Kikyo asked why he wanted to save the dead man in the cave, he said

In fear of Inuyasha misunderstanding himself and the steel teeth will take the initiative to clarify

When I see Kikyo seriously injured by miasma, I will try my best to purify it without any hesitation and confusion.

When I am jealous and angry with Inuyasha, I will reflect on myself and feel that I am not good

Blame yourself if you die after Kikyo comes back to life

Said when she was caught by Shiro Douji and made her resent Kikyo and Inuyasha

When someone said that the shrine maiden who was washed up by the river may be Kikyo, he said to Inuyasha

When Inuyasha is praised by his girlfriends, he will show a cute and happy expression

Such a good girl, how could Inuyasha not be cured by her and not fall in love with her?

In the episode of Kagome, after Kikyo died again, Inuyasha was very hurt. Kagome touched Kagome's soul and said

If Inuyasha was hurt by the death of her first love Kikyo again, then Kagome added the pain of understanding Kikyo still has a place in Inuyasha's heart (whether it's love or guilt) on top of the pain from Kikyo.

However, Kagome has always been strong.

Facing what the Emperor said, she bravely confronted and refuted it.

After the battle, seeing the crying Inuyasha, she only felt distressed.

When a person is in the darkness for three days and three nights inside the Jade of Four Souls, he still believes that Inuyasha will arrive and come to save her;

After graduating from high school, he chose to leave the modern world and live in the Warring States with Inuyasha;

Running constantly between the Warring States Period and Hyundai, but never said that he was very tired, and envied the school life that his girlfriends said, but he never complained in front of his peers. While fighting the monsters and Naraku, I still don't stop learning...

Who wouldn't like such a good girl?


This character drawn by Aunt Takahashi has many advantages in one.

Beautiful and confident, smart and brave, strong and gentle, kind and considerate.

I think this is what Takahashi wants to tell us, these beautiful qualities and beautiful people all exist.

When you encounter it, you should cherish it.

Everyone will be healed.

3. Other roles

Write at the end.

The other supporting roles are also well portrayed, my favorite fox demon Qibao sauce. He's a big kid, and he understands it emotionally. I cried when I knelt down and pleaded with Sesshomaru for resurrecting the little sloth's father. Probably only a child who has lost a father understands the pain.

Coral and Amber are really abusive, but they are both people who have great love in their hearts and are willing to sacrifice their ego for justice.

Although Master Maitreya is usually very lustful, he is still a real man at critical moments, risking being swallowed by opening the wind cave time and time again.

And Naraku's last clone - Dreamy White Night. Watching him do things for Naruo is like seeing a contemporary migrant worker, but he is helpless and a little perfunctory.

Granny Feng is also a very lovable character, she has always been a person who can see clearly and is sober in the world.

Said at the resurrection of my sister Kikyo

Said when Kikyo came to see her at night

Said when Inuyasha got angry with Kagome

And the most charming villain, Kagura.

When she finally left, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were very concerned about her.

When Kagura asked if it was Sesshomaru who was looking for Naraku's taste, he replied:

In the end, this messenger of the wind, who had pursued freedom all his life, was finally free.

There are also some thought-provoking episodes.

For example, Naraku, the biggest villain in the show.

Every time he is stronger, he has a more powerful clone ability. But no matter how he was cloned, his body was derived from ghost spiders. When Naraku wanted to separate the ghost spider's love for Kikyo, he found that his power was also weakened. Yes, how can a person who does not even have a heart be strong, and how long can he be strong?

Ghost spiders sell their souls to those monsters just for a bellflower. The desire of a single thought has caused so many incidents, even to the point of being uncontrollable. Is this the original intention of the ghost spider?

Avatar Kanna, a child without any feelings, in the end, he betrayed Naraku for his sister Kagura. Tao is ruthless but affectionate, it just needs time to warm it up.

Speaking of the most dedicated and domineering man in the entire anime - Sesshomaru.

Not to mention how good Shaling is, just the picturesque beauty of Killing Palace is enough for me to see it for a long time. Some people joked: The title of the play can be changed to Sesshomaru and that unsatisfactory younger brother.

Although the killing hall is cold and ruthless on the outside, he gradually develops a heart of compassion under the company of Ling. Judging from the whole drama, he has been protecting his only younger brother, but Aojiao Benjiao is unwilling to admit it.

Really, life-saving Sesshomaru.

The best dad in the whole play - General Canine.

The eldest son is strong but lacks compassion, so he gave him a natural tooth, hoping to help his son find a trace of compassion; the second son, half-demon blood, lacks strength, so he gave him a broken tooth and let him protect himself from harm.

And only when the eldest son puts away his attachment to Tie Shaya and his father's relics, and begins to have compassion and people who want to protect, will he surpass himself and have his own knife - Shashaya.

I have to say that the dog father is really conscientious for his two sons, and he has even arranged the future.

The whole play is funny - Grandpa Xiejian.

Not only the stalk of the little monster, but also his precise complaints. But there is something cute about this monster too. Because Sesshomaru never expresses his emotions easily, the evil view will cry instead of him and be happy instead of saying what he wants to say but doesn't say. When Sesshomaru's mother rescued Ling, he bent down and thanked him again and again. He is a very cute little monster.

In the event of danger, he will always run away as soon as possible, but he is an encyclopedic flea Mingjia grandfather.

There is also a bit of cuteness in the black belly, and Lingyue Xianji, who passed the Aojiao Benjiao perfectly to her son Sesshomaru.

Kind-hearted but also shy and shy in front of Kagome, his nirvana is Di Nian'er, a loving hug.

Infatuation and single-mindedness, the boy Gang Ya of the demon wolf clan with clear love and hate.

She was not accepted by both youkai and humans because she was a half-demon, and finally created a safety barrier for the half-demon children.

There are also cute snake bones in the Gang of Seven.

And many lovely mounts such as mica, moo, etc.

There is also the jade of the four souls that runs through the whole play.

Both good and evil, and evil and good.

What is your heart, what you are when you have it.

The clean will purify it, the wicked will pollute it.

It never fulfills the real desire, because it contains more or less human desire.

Only the wish that is truly made for the common people and for the great love is the only correct wish, that is: to disappear.

One of the most touching episodes is the episode of Living Buddha.

Everyone hoped that the Buddha would pass away to protect the village, but at the last moment he realized that he was not that great, and that his survival instinct made him relegated to the inferior position of the common people. At that time, he probably also thought: Why does it have to be me? Why must I die? Is it worth it for me to protect these people?

Naraku also grasped this dark part of human nature, so he coerced the Buddha's golden body to provide him with shelter.

How can human nature be so perfect, how can there be people who are not afraid of death.

Only in the face of death do you know how precious life is.

The funny thing with a hint of deep meaning is the episode of the bear monster.

The demon slayers asked the city lord to bury the bear properly, but it was so hastily that humans made it into a bear skin and hung it on the wall. In the end, he was retaliated by the bear demon.

Isn’t it as if human beings have managed one disaster after another, telling people to take good care of the land and forests and facilities in the future, otherwise there will be disasters, but human beings do not follow the advice and still treat them badly, causing disasters to happen again and again?

PS: Mr. Kaoru Wada's songs are so attractive, every song sounds good!

Every time I hear "The Miserable Miko", I want to cry, and "Thinking Through Time and Space" even brings me into the mood of Kagome and Inuyasha. As soon as the Bgm rang, the thoughts that spanned two time and space after 500 years suddenly flooded into my mind.


Write at the end.

Aunt Takahashi has portrayed so many classic characters in the play, each of which has a distinct personality, and each one is three-dimensional and full.

Through so many characters and so many things, we actually tell us not only the love of Inuju or Inuwei, but also the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature.

About trust, about humanity, about justice, about love.

And the instincts of those deep in human nature that are most easily overlooked.

Twenty years later, it is still not out of date.
