This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Kagome. Sit back, relax, and soak in the ever-burning vitriol I have been possessing for this lousy, lying, low-down, four-flushing carcass of a fugly mega Frankendouche. Do you ever have that one character you want to eliminate so badly with every weapon or assassination move you have in your arsenal? Was it a character you attempted to find any salvageable traits, but, as you grew up and developed a more critical, you started to realise just how horrible this person was, despite all of your noblest efforts to like them? Would you have found elation when you see the character you hated being dragged so hard? Would you have wanted to maul the character you could not believe you liked but now realise just how atrocious they are? If you answered yes to all of my questions, these were the thoughts that came into my head about Kagome Higurashi from Inuyasha a character I tried way too hard to like when I was a teenager in the cusp of graduating middle school and entering high school, throughout my duration in high school as well as my actor’s training, and even when I was doing my GED in my mid-twenties. Even when I tried so hard to like Kagome, I absolutely despised Inuyasha x Kagome or InuKag with visceral poison and venomous acid dripping from my tongue because they could not cease their bickering and squabbling even when they were coming closer together. It also did not help matters that Inuyasha was constantly saving her sorry backside from being abducted, given the several occasions that Kagome was a dolt-in-distress. Hence, InuKag has always been my most hated pairing or NOTP ever since I was an 11-year-old fifth grader, and it is still my ultimate NOTP speaking to you as a 30-year-old doing my master’s degree in American Studies while trying to finish my bachelor’s thesis before Halloween. Now, that I have watched Inuyasha more critically and thoroughly read manifestos on what made Kagome horrible and why I used to feel indifferent to her let alone struggle to like her when I was younger, I can confidently attest that Kagome Higurashi is one of the most disgusting, juvenile, hateful, despicable, deceitful, manipulative, sanctimonious mega frankendouche floozy narcissist I have ever seen desecrate the airwaves and even manga pages. She even had the nerve to make me even more irritated at her during the epilogue to one of my most favourite Inuyasha movies of all time Inuyasha Movie 3: Swords of an Honourable Ruler when she repaired those accursed Beads of Subjugation to place them back on Inuyasha in the guise that she trusts him but does not want him to run off again. Again, people, can you say psychopathic, narcissistic sociopath bitch from Hell? Because that is how I best describe Kagome Higurashi. That moment is actually on par with the multiple sit commands from Episode 109 which is what I would consider her dethroning moment of suck to the point where it made me frustratedly furious as a 14-year-old in the eighth grade when I caught this moment of sadism after school. Either way, Inuyasha Movie 3’s epilogue and the multiple sit commands from Episode 109 were sufficient for me to not hero worship this abusive floozy from all seven circles of Hell. Yes, I know there are worse mega frankendouche floozies such as Naru Narusegawa from Love Hina and Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière from The Familiar of Zero because of just how abusive and cruel they are, but Kagome is one of those so-called heroines who takes it up a notch because of how domineering she is while expecting Inuyasha to be her pathetic lap dog. The number of times Inuyasha has saved her butt as well as her posse’s snivelling behinds must be astonishing because, although Kagome may have fired some lucky if not barely lucky shots, she constantly depends on him to save her when she could have had moments to prove herself worthy as a heroine let alone grow in formidability. But no. She just ended up as nothing more than a bullying doormat who could not fight to save her own pathetic life, worried more about her stupid tests rather than the fate of the damn world, a toxic abuser who brutalises Inuyasha with those accursed Beads of Subjugation, and a vile harridan of a Queen Bee Bitch who believes that the entire world revolves around her. If this bitch is not satisfied, she would either mope, go into her self-pitying mode, manipulate her army of skanks consisting of Miroku, Sango, and Shippou to support her futile cause or just take all of her frustration out on Inuyasha with her sit commands. It is no wonder why I despise Kagome Higurashi with the passion of a billion burning suns, and this sanctimonious narcissist and sadistic manipulator deserves a harsh punishment that will bring her death. Speaking of harsh punishments that will guarantee a quick and painful death to Kagome, I recommend the following ways to kill off this wicked tin-head. Dousing her with Judge Doom’s dip would burn her hair, skin, bones, and organs until she is no more. If you want more fuel to the fire, you can douse Kagome with a combination of kerosene and sulfuric acid, light a match, throw the burning match, and watch her burn to a crisp. For a bloody execution, just grab a hatchet, chop off Kagome’s head, torso, limbs, and organs, and put them on a meat grinder to make wonderful delicacies with this pathetic excuse of an abuser as the main ingredient. When it comes to iconic Power Rangers villains, who better to brutally destroy Kagome than the Psycho Rangers from Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy who would gladly stab her to death, slice her guts open, gouge her eyes out, and cut her tongue out all while serving her…

This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Kagome. Sit back, relax, and keep your minds open with a lexical expression that I convict perfectly describes Kagome Higurashi and that is a sanctimonious narcissist. Overlooking the several occasions where Kagome was captured, held hostage, and was usually nothing more than a dumbass-in-distress Inuyasha and her posse had to save, her inability to fully cultivate her archery skills so that she can be more empowered as a fighter, and her frequent abuse on Inuyasha both verbally as well with those god-awful Beads of Subjugation, the other facet that I believe makes Kagome a fully-fledged foolish floozy is how she stands on her little soapbox preaching about friendship and togetherness while making situations all about herself without considering Inuyasha’s feelings or painful past. Yes, there may be shreds of Inuyasha and Kagome growing closer together, but they constantly go back to bickering and going at each other’s throats especially where Kagome’s petulance over Inuyasha’s past connection to Kikyou and foolishness revolving around her duties as a “heroine” are concerned. For somebody who preaches about working together to gather the shards of the Shikon Jewel, which she caused in the very first episode albeit by accident, Kagome certainly knows how to bring the attention all back to herself. I am still reeling from how she was crying not necessarily because of Inuyasha’s whole contention of his transformation to a human when the new moon hits but because he thinks he cannot rely on her as a friend without fully understanding let alone empathising with his situation growing up and severe trust issues. It needs to be reiterated that Inuyasha was hunted down by demons and shunned by humans to the point where he built this hard and brittle outer shell, and the mere fact that she called Inuyasha a dough-head and needs to grab a brain shows me right there that she never understood what it was like to be in his shoes. She thinks she knows his life story. She thinks she understands him. However, she cannot fathom the internal pain Inuyasha has been incurring throughout his years of growing up and always directs all this to how she is feeling not how he is truly feeling. I do not even buy Kagome thinking that Inuyasha has found true friends because she along with Miroku, Sango, and Shippou have proven themselves to be nothing more than treating him like their own trump card/wild card/lap dog. Kagome presents herself as holier-than-thou just because she can sense the jewel shards, connect well with Miroku, Sango, and Shippou as well as that pathetic loser Kouga, fix Inuyasha by using the Beads of Subjugation to control him when she is actually depriving him of his agency, independence, free will, and think for himself, and preach about trust to Inuyasha when she chose to fix the Beads of Subjugation, place it on him again, and refused to take them off because she loves the control she has over him. Swearing Shippou to secrecy to make Inuyasha worried about her, Kaede favouriting Kagome over Inuyasha when this wrinkled old tin-head is no better, and not having Miroku and Sango train her to improve as a fighter but be her most loyal army of skanks accompanied by Shippou make her a manipulative shrew I neither respect nor patronise because her idea of love and trust are unhealthy and skewered beyond compare. She may “love” Inuyasha, but it is contentious to believe. Kagome seems to revel in the control she has over Inuyasha with those accursed Beads of Subjugation and has done multiple unforgivable deeds with them, yet she poses herself as a trustworthy person without thoroughly listening to Inuyasha and make everything about herself just because she has sacred powers that she does not take full advantage of and has only abused. I am not playing this game with this homegirl because I have seen her for what she is, and I abhor everything she represents. This sanctimonious narcissist has caused more harm to Inuyasha’s will as an individual than good even in their “marriage” and their tenure as parents to Moroha. I will always argue that Kagome is nothing more than a sanctimonious narcissist who stands on a soapbox so that the attention can be drawn to her and how people see her as this “emphatic angel” when she is nothing more than self-centred, manipulative, egotistical, domineering dickhead she is. Yes, I know Kagome is child in a young woman’s body, but she really is a dickhead, a jackass, a four-flushing carcass, a nincompoop, and many other insults I can formulate from the English language. How she stands on her little soapbox preaching about trust and friendship when she is not trustworthy herself means she is completely devoid of any empathy let alone compassion, is a hollow and shallow loser of a floozy, and is utterly fake all around. Kagome is a disingenuous excuse of a person who thinks that the world revolves around her and acts petulant whenever her supposed “boyfriend/husband” acts out of line. She was never deserving of either Inuyasha’s affection or even my time. Her legion of fans may praise her to the skies, believe that I am whining about her if I find something wrong with her, call her out on her treatment towards Inuyasha, and think that I just want to boink him because their brains are too small to realise the damage done to him, but I do not play that game with them. My critical brain has assessed that her sanctimonious narcissism is what makes her not only a spoiled brat but also a sociopathic psychopath and deceitful hypocrite who has done way too much damage to Inuyasha’s psyche. Therefore, Kagome is toxic waste and a vicious cancer that must be avoided as well as excised into obscurity in the most brutal fashion possible. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next…
