I am sure you are all aware that Kaede is one old crone I never, ever, ever cared for, even when I was a lot younger.
It seemed like this withered, inferior excuse of a shrine maiden who has lived in her late older sister’s shadow only sided with Kagome and chided Inuyasha for not so justifiable reasons. Yes, we do understand that Inuyasha started to be antagonistic and not the greatest person in the world when he ended up being revived because of the scar he felt when he and Kikyou were tricked into betraying each other thanks to Naraku’s manipulation. She may think that she knows what was best for Inuyasha and Kagome for them to work together, even though it was Kagome’s fault for the whole Shikon Jewel malarkey, but her logic was extremely and utterly flawed.
Speaking of Kagome, Kaede was the one who also started this whole Beads of Subjugation nonsense. Yes, they may have served their purpose to keep Inuyasha from doing reckless deeds completely akin to Son Goku or Son Wukong and the golden headband to suppress his powers. However, when Kagome uses those God-forsaken beads, there were occasions in which she would apply them to fuel her own petty jealousy and dominance over Inuyasha, even though he would usually save her.
Another example of her super flawed logic was when she took in Rin to live in the village during the end of Inuyasha: The Final Act. Rin’s relationship with Sesshoumaru was really deep and meaningful, and when Kaede stripped Rin away from the man who took good care of her, resurrected her when she was mauled by Kouga’s rogue wolves and even when she was in Sesshoumaru’s mother’s realm, she undervalued the depth of Sesshoumaru’s and Rin’s genuineness. She may think she is protecting Rin and not allowing her to be together with a yokai, but Rin is smarter and more resilient than that, and at the end of the day, Kaede is doing such a huge disservice to Sesshoumaru and Rin.
Enter Mrs. Wicket who will literally knock some sense into Kaede with her own fists. As if Kaede could ever dare pick a fight with Mrs. Wicket, and at this rate, she will end up losing terribly because of how incredibly powerful Mrs. Wicket is.
Mrs. Wicket would end up doing a huge number on Kaede thanks to her fists of iron puncturing every fiber of her fat, bloated, overstuffed body. Not even her archery “skills” could save herself from Mrs. Wicket’s wrath.
At the end of it all, Mrs. Wicket did a splendid job in smattering Kaede to complete submission and reducing her overstuffed into a limp, bloody pulp to the point where her spirit ended up going to the other world or, even better, to the underworld where she truly belongs, thus putting her out of her misery.
I hope you all enjoyed Mrs. Wicket’s pummeling of this poor excuse of a shrine maiden who was nothing more than someone living under the pitiful shadow of her late older sister Kikyou.
Take care, stay safe, and do not ever get on Mrs. Wicket’s bad side or else you will have your heart torn from you just like Kaede.
