VRaptorX · oh crap.....Serious WTF momment in next chapter

Kikyou...decided to transfer all that light out of the jewel and shard and instead...transfer it into Kohaku. She is now speaking through him. She possessed dead Kohaku.

Even I didn't take this possibility seriously. I don't know wether to be amazed or scared.

Lyssandra

That's not even close to what happened, VRap, you little liar, lol!

Told you Kohaku would be resurrected! Aren't I just a little stinker?

But seriously, Kikyou's light is obviously not conscious, but the conscious force controlling it IS Kikyou. That's how I understood it.

VRaptorX

she said she chose to save Kohaku instead. He's coming back to life.

Lyssandra

What do you mean "coming" back to life? He IS alive again.

VRaptorX

OK...point taken.

Though does this mean Kikyou is now inside Kohaku for good? And really, you had the light in the jewel to kill Naraku but Kikyou decides to take it out? What a cheap way to

a) get rid of teh light
b) save Kohaku 3 seconds after dieing

I'm a huge Kikyou fan but even I find this stupid.

Lyssandra

You're caught up in your own theory, VRap, and you need to rethink your definition of the light. Like I said before, the light isn't KIKYOU, it's her WILL. There is a difference there. Basically, it's an intention that Kikyou is controlling, but it doesn't necessarily have to BE her.

Although David Hume would inevitably say that her will and her action in using it IS her, we can ignore him since we're not discussing philosophy.

VRaptorX

but...Kikyou died off for good. The only part left of her was the peiuce of Kagome she took. So that has to be the only thing to control teh will....and that soul never went back into kagome so you could say the soul peice is the light. Oh well....now I think we are thinking this too far. I think RT forgot about that soul peice anyway. She's a female Jack Sparrow; just makes it up as she goes along and hopes it all works out.

Lyssandra

Yeah, I don't really think she CARES where the piece of soul went. I don't know if it really matters to RT.

Vrap, I've said it before and I'll say it again. Kikyou is in HEAVEN!!! Her balls of light went to heaven when her chia body died. I'm interpreting the light as being her *will*, a power that she was able to leave behind.

The best part about this resurrection is now Kikyou is out of the picture for purifying the jewel. It's really up to Kagome now, she doesn't have to have Kikyou's shadow looming over her.

It was a lame way to resurrect Kohaku, but at least Takahashi killed two birds with one stone...or resurrected two birds as it were. Razz

VRaptorX

it was also a lame way to get the light in the jewel. Also....I think having Kikyou in 3 seconds ressurect someone you failed to save is a bit more of a punch in the gut than having help.

Also.....a will? If it was just some spell Kikyou put in before she died, it wouldn't be able to change it's mind. Kikyou, herself would have to change the plan, hence the light was in fact Kikyou, not just a spell.

jadehorse77

Sorry, I disagree, but that's cool. I just don't see how she could have ascended and left herself behind at the same time. Maybe in a split sense, but still, I think everything was happening from the other side....she left her will in Kohaku and changed everything "from a distance", by exerting her will from the other side. That's just the way that makes sense to me.

I don't think Kohaku is posessed.

And not being able to save Kohaku? Who had more reason to save him? Kikyou did. It was something she struggled with when she was traveling with him. She knew that the shard would have to be taken in order for the jewel to be completed. She struggled with what she should do about Kohaku, because I believe she truly did care for him while they were traveling together. It was a choice she made, expressing her trust in Kagome and Inuyasha to take care of Naraku.

VRaptorX

But time and time again this manga has shown that miko's cant change the spell after dying. So part of Kikyou had to be in that ligt to change it.

And having a person who is dead revive the person you just failed to protect IMO would be a bigger blow to Kagome's feelings than just having the light help her out.

IMO this was just a cheap way to get Naraku to become ultimate Naraku and get the light out of the jewel.

VRaptorX

I wouldn't be shocked if Kohaku died again for good later in the manga, thus making it completly useless.

Also...doesn't this mean Kohaku is now a zombie again or is he full human? If full human than that means Kikyou could have made herself full human whenever she wants. Stupid.

jadehorse77

Kohaku is full human because he is full flesh and blood. Kikyou was burned to ashes, and then made a body of earth and herbs and whatever else Urasue put into her again.

Lyssandra

VRaptorX

living happily ever after as full human with Inuyasha? Love is a good reason.

yeah...shortest straw grasping here.

Lyssandra

Who really says that she had the desire for that anymore? After all, her entire existence after she was brought back was about hatred. Her love for Inuyasha wasn't much compared to the misery she felt when she was in her clay body. I doubt the idea would ever have occurred to her.
