Why Do You Love Kagome Higurashi XD ?

Why do you love Kagome Higurashi xD ?

Offt…hard to narrow down the reasons into something that makes sense lol I’d say that at the start, I watched Inuyasha on youtube and let’s just say there was a lot of comments bashing her. The thing is, I couldn’t understand it. She had justifiable reasons for why she wasn’t a hand-to-hand combat gal like Sango, she was 15 and from the future, a normal high school girl. And not enough credit was being given to her, picking up a bow and arrow and just trying her best. 

I think what I like most about her is her adaptability. Demons? Kinda weird but she can roll with that. Time travel? Scary but she had to stay and collect the shards because she felt it was the right thing to do. Getting kidnapped? An inconvenience that she gotta either wait out or talk to her capture to try and weasel her way out of it using her wits if she can. 

The amount of stuff she went through that would have seriously stressed and frightened another person is just astounding and on top of that, she had exams and tests at school. She had to do homework while taking a break from fighting demons. AND ON TOP OF THAT she had the love triangle to deal with.

Kagome. does. not. get. enough. credit.

What’s amazing is that most of the time in these dangerous situations, she’s hardly ever thinking of herself. If ever. She’s always looking out for the frightened orphan, saving Shippo, saving Inuyasha on a number of occasions, lending aid as best she can to Miroku and Sango.

I do have some problems with how she’s handled in canon as she’s clearly extremely powerful but is never formally trained to control it. She’s always regulated to the back row the second Miroku and Sango come into the series. It’s just a shame to me that she couldn’t have been given more tools to defend herself and grow. Archery is a mostly long-distance weapon and she needed something close range, considering the amount of times enemies got close enough to kidnap her. I don’t blame her specifically for it, it’s just something I find a shame. 

But yeah, I love her tenacity, no bullshit attitude, her caring nature, her SASS, her cute sense of humour, and her badass moments make her a truly great character.
