Is Inuyasha a scumbag?

My first answer is: no.

Who else can handle this relationship well? Inuyasha has done his best now. In the TV, Inuyasha has a line that seems to be Miroku and Shippo asking him which one he should choose between Kagome and Kikyo? He asked if he could have both? It was probably here that Inuyasha was labeled a scumbag. But in fact, there is no such sentence in the original work, so I believe that TV did not intentionally change Inuyasha into a scumbag, but just regarded it as a joke. And when he said he would choose both, he did not choose to love both. On the one hand, he wanted to protect Kikyo and reward Kikyo, but on the other hand, he was more fascinated to be with Kagome.

Next, let’s take the TV48 episode as an example of abuse (I think it’s mainly about abuse of Kagome). This was after Inuyasha had already said that he would choose both, Kagome went home in anger, and he happened to meet Kikyo. Faced with the woman he once liked, the person who followed him to death, he actually said that he would give his life to They had broken up their enemies before, and Kikyo said that Naraku was still obsessed with her. So one can imagine Inuyasha's reaction. But this scene was seen by Kagome, and Kagome ran away. Inuyasha didn't chase her. I think that's because he himself knew that he was not qualified. Later, Inuyasha told Grandma Kaede about this matter. He decided to protect Platycodon, so it should mean that he chose Platycodon. Does this mean that he loved Platycodon and not Kagome? Not really. At this time, we turned the camera to the present. Kagome was very painful, and then she realized that she already liked InuYasha so much. Finally, after some struggle, she decided to go back and see InuYasha again. (There are many Weihei in this area who say that Kagome already knows that Inuyasha has chosen Kikyo, why would she go back to being a dog licker. This is obviously wrong! A fan filter added because she likes Kikyo? Kagome just saw that scene , and Inuyasha’s words about choosing Kikyo were addressed to Granny Maple)

Then there was a very classic scene, where the two expressed their feelings by the ancient well. In the TV version, Inuyasha said, I am very happy and relaxed with Kagome, but I can't laugh often because Kikyo followed me to death, so I must give up my life to repay her. (The word "reward" has clearly stated that his choice of Platycodon is a responsibility and a kind of guilt.) Kagome said, I know I am not as good as Platycodon because I am still alive (ah ah, my Kagome Little angel, do you want to be so humble? (Uuuuuuu) She said, but I have the same feeling as Platycodon, that is, I still want to see you again. Inuyasha's mental activity at this moment is, Kagome, although I also want to see you again, but. . . Kagome may have seen InuYasha's embarrassment, she asked, InuYasha, just ask you, can I be with you? (The question here also means that Kagome is not shameless. If she is rejected, she will definitely not pester her again.) So if he loves Kikyo here, he should express his stance directly and apologize to Kagome. But he hesitated and didn't speak. Is this because he was struggling to make a choice? No, because he does love Kagome, so protecting Kikyo is his own business, it can even be said to be a responsibility, so how can he let Kagome take it on with him? So he hesitated because he didn't want Kagome who was with him to be harmed. In the end, our little angel Kagome mustered up the courage to hold his hand, so the close-up of Inuyasha's hand holding back should have given the answer, right? (In this part of the plot in Mr. Takahashi’s original work, Inuyasha proactively proposed that Kagome should stay with him. He said that after all, Kagome still needs to stay by my side to have the motivation to fight.) At first, I was very entangled with this change. It's very unfair to Kagome and makes her look too humble. But since the result is the same, let's not pursue it. After this incident, InuYasha actually forgot about wanting to protect Kikyo, and unless he saw Kikyo's death soul insect or smelled her scent, Inuyasha never once took the initiative to find Kikyo.

So who does Inuyasha love? Love them all. Just one 50 years ago and the other 50 years later, they are two-arrow love, and there is no intersection. It cannot be said that Inuyasha forgot that Kikyo liked Kagome when he was just released from the seal. I think he should still have feelings for Kikyo here, but he was attracted to Kagome through getting along and fighting with her, and gradually fell in love with her. In her process, the truth from 50 years ago also surfaced. So maybe this is the point where Inuyasha's love intersects. His love for Kikyo is awakened, but he can no longer let go of Kagome in his heart.

In the process of his struggle, it was Kagome who warmed his heart and made him willing to face his love. In the original work, there were many plots in which Inuyasha confessed his love to Kagome, but they were all deleted from the TV version. Let me just mention one, I forgot the specifics. It should be after episode 48, Inuyasha and Kagome were chatting on the grass. Kagome asked him and then said that she could not forget Kikyo, and then said that she wanted to be with him. Which sentence is true or false? Inuyasha said that these two sentences were true, and he said that he would also get these two people together in the beginning (because the two people looked exactly the same), but now Kagome is Kagome, and no one can replace her. I love Kagome's smiling face, then. . . . He found Kagome sleeping behind him hahaha. Then our Inuyasha said, stinky girl, she actually fell asleep when she was about to get to the point! So what is he going to say next?
