So...what do you think of this new evil will of Jewel guy?

VRaptorX · So...what do you think of this new evil will of Jewel guy?

I mean...if he'sthe evil of the jewel like they say....shouldn't he be something more than a side villian? Shouldn't he be the big baddy that kills naraku and ends up as the final boss?

Also...it seems odd that he comes out now. I think he was escaping and was shoved out. He can't combat whatever Kikyou did with the jewel (if you think about it Midoriko + Kikyou vs him)

But if he dies soon...well that makes the entire shikon no tama look weak. The ultimate evil of the jewel gets owned so quickly? So everyone in the manga is more powerful than the shikon no tama?

And also, with him out, shouldn't the jewel be more light again? I mean all that's left is Naraku but Kikyou's trick weakens him...add in Midoriko...and it should at least be half and half again.

I would think that if the Magatsuhi that's out running around in Naraku's flesh is killed here, that should purify the jewel. Without Magatsuhi, the jewel only has the good part and can no longer grant demon-like qualities to those who want them.

That would be really strange though, considering it's a way to destroy the jewel that no one has mentioned yet, at least to my knowledge.

In that case, I've just decided I want to see it happen, just for something unexpected to occur.

My question is will Magatsuhi become a main villain like Naraku or is he going to be just like other past villains who get killed? I would think he becomes a main villain since he's the evil side of the jewel,but wouldn't RT be complicating the story even more if she makes this guy the final boss. We have had Naraku for over 500 chapters as the main villain.

If Magatushi does die it doesn't make the Shikon jewel weaker, Vrap. The jewel will probably just be more pure/good instead of evil.

Naraku seems to be a side character for now.

Lyssandra

Both Magatsuhi and Naraku at once? Sounds like something out of my deepest, darkest nightmares, and not only because they are two very frightening individuals.

If Magatsuhi does become the main villian in the story, Naraku will either have to be a) absorbed by him, or b) (unlikely) forced to work with Inuyasha and crew to destroy him.

How would "b" be for a plot twist? "Never saw that one coming from a mile away" people would say.

or c: Kikyou comes shooting out of the jewel in a super form, restors the world, kills the villians and splits Inuyasha into 2 identical Inuyashas....one for her and one for Kagome. Now everyone is happy!

Lyssandra

Yeah, I don't think anyone would be expecting that one either. Let's just hope that ending doesn't come to pass; I think it would give me a headache from fanservice overload.

SesshyFan-Girl

or D: Kikyo stays dead and Kagome gets Inuyasha all to herself.

Lyssandra

Now THAT one sounds more likely at this point, but you never really know when it comes to Kikyou in this Manga. Kagome seems pretty bent on making her the center of her thoughts nowadays.

SesshyFan-Girl

I know and that stinks. Kikyo can never truly disappear from the story. Mad

Lyssandra

Personally, I'm not asking her to. She was a great character, and in a way, I was sorry to see her go. On the other hand, she fought the good fight and left the bow in Kagome's hands. If you think about it, that is a good symbol when it comes to passing the torch: "I've moved on, and you can carry on in my place."

VRaptorX

yeah...and she also sabotaged teh shikon no tama and might actually have put herself inside of it (she never did re-enter into Kagome after death.) So not only did she pass the torch but she also is continuing to do stuff.

And Kagome making her the center of attention....is a bit wrong. IMO it should be emo Inu, not emo Kagome. But of course...Kaou absorbed his pain. Stupid cop-out.

This whole Magatsuhi thing though, makes me think RT is finally getting serious with it. I mean, Naraku has been THE villian so far, and Magatsuhi seems to be greater than him. If he gets killed off quickly, then RT just screwed up royally. But I trust her more than that, I'm sure she's gonna give us something really good. I'm thinking that this might lead to an Onigumo shatter...as in, Onigumo may begin to start separating from Naraku. 'Cause remember, Naraku is the spider. It could end up being that Magatsuhi is what it takes for the two to become individuals again.

That's my tentative theory anyways.

If it is an Onigumo thing...it could possibly be a redemption.

I sincerelt hope that Kikyo does not come back. She was given a beautiful death scene so she should just stay dead. Then Kagome can finally get IY. As for Magatsuhi... his name can be translated to bastard, depending on the context. I think that just says it all.

Yin-Yang Heart

I agree with those who wanna see this guy end up a main villian, or B, he can be killed by Sesshomaru who then can get his weapon upgrade, already.

Lyssandra

But, it's not like he'll get to use it without Naraku being a direct threat anymore. Sesshoumaru doesn't really have that much of a reason to go after Naraku in the first place....

VRaptorX

Well...look at it this way for those who don't want Kikyou back.... we could always just have her be a ghost-ish form at the very end just telling Inu that she'll wait for him on the other side. Or she could become the guardian of the jewel again....or become the jewel's conscience or whatever. there are many options that don't involve revival.

Lyssandra

Becoming guardian of the jewel almost seems like she'd have the same fate as Midoriko, though, and something tells me that would be a less than restful afterlife.

watu1p

Kikyo had a good death scene so she should either stay dead or become a flippin guard for the jewel. As long as she does not return, I'm okay with it.

VRaptorX

I hate using the "she had a good death" thing because Inuyasha basically forgot about her thanks to Kaou. Only Kagome is really thinking of her. She had a good death but then was basically thrown away. RT gave her so much plot importance with her jewel trap and possibly being inside the jewel but then she goes and does that. It's like she's trying to make her both important and not important at the same time.

Lyssandra

Really though, how do we KNOW he's forgotten about her? We haven't really had a look at his thoughts lately (except when it comes to Sesshoumaru), and we don't know how he's feeling about Kikyou at this point. Maybe he's just got some other things on his mind right now.

jadehorse77

Or, how about, Inuyasha really has gotten over her, as far as accepting her death? Basically for the last 500 chapters she has been dead, and his feelings for her, while genuine, were also tainted with guilt. That's just the way I see it. When my grandpa passed away, he had been sick for seven years and did not have his mind for the past six. When he died...we were all sad, but also happy for him that he was free from the prison of the disease. That would make perfect sense of how Inuyasha was able to let Kikyou go.

VRaptorX

eh...OK. I still say Inu got over it way too quickly though. He's thought she "died" again and it took him a lot longer and kept searching for her that time. I'm just saying it doesn't fit the mourning times of Inuyasha. He was miraculously shorter in time span this time. The entire arc was about him wanting to die to be with her, saying he was suppossed to protect her and failes (hence guilt again) and all that jazz. Inu even avoided Kagome's question about how if what Kaou said was true (and has yet to answer it). Heck, the arc even ended with kagome saying "Inuyasha is the one hurt the most." And then the next time we see them he is perfectly fine. Now.....isn't that missing a transition period?

Lyssandra

And I still say that we could still be going through the transition period, and we're just not seeing it because emo Sesshoumaru keeps taking up the spotlight.

An idea just hit: what if this IS Inuyasha's guilt about Kikyou coming forward? I mean, Inuyasha wasn't this into his brother's life/death before, not until Kikyou died. Perhaps this brotherly love he's suddenly feeling is out of guilt because he feels he let Kikyou down, and can't let anyone else go through the same fate because of him.

watu1p

That could be true. I mean it does kinda make sense. But then again, IY has the tough guy act going on. Look at how he says he hates Koga (in the first half of the series) but saves him countless times?

VRaptorX

well...I can still hope that either Inu dies (and Kagome tells Sesshy to not revive him), they stay in seperate times, or Kikyou comes back for the millionth time.

Lyssandra

I don't like the idea of Kikyou coming back for her own sake. We all know that this was all a lot more than a picnic in a park for her, so bringing her back wouldn't be too nice.

VRaptorX

OK....let me rephrase that: bring her back without the whole soul sucking, I'm in pain technicallities.

It's fiction. you can always make some sort of bizarre technicallity to get by the hindering ones. Yugi Oh always makes crap out of nowere.
