| I don't get all this people. Kikyo is already dead 50 years ago. |

| Fucking finally. She really should have died like in the first 30-40 episodes or so... I hated her from the very beginning, and it didn't change even now that she "got better". From the story and drama perspective I can understand why she was brought back and I gueeess they could use that jealousy thing to strengthen some bonds, but was her existence for like 170+ episodes really necessary? All she did was make both Inuyasha and Kagome suffer for different reasons. Plus all her achievements could have just been Kagome instead, so she would not have felt as overshadowed sometimes :/ Though now that I think about it she didn't actually do much... She appeared sometimes to taunt Naraku, give some kind of a guidance to Kagome in a weird way and steal dead souls everywhere, like Midoriko's (or whatever her name is). And now I'm sad that Inuyasha obviously getting together with Kagome after this will make it feel like she was forever a second option :( I wish he would have actually chosen Kagome at one point, and would just generally feel bad for Kikyo when she died, but not like this, and especially not with a kiss :/ Poor Kagome... |

| Final goodbye to Kikyo, this time she will definitely move on to the afterlife Naruku has all the shards except Kohaku's shard, I can definitely feel the end nearing |
 |
| This is her "3rd" death already so I hope she's dead for real this time. Nonetheless, this was heartbreaking especially knowing Kikyo's circumstances. |
 |
| Ah... the Kikyou haters; I could have a strong rebuttal for each and every one of you but, sighs, what's the point. IMO, Kikyou's character is what kicked the series off, her return gave it a much-needed twist by intensifying character development. As far as her 'not-doing-much', as someone said, she did more solo than the others combined. But, what peeves me the most, is this woman saved Kohaku's life (which she never gets credit for BTW) and that is worth whatever you felt she didn't do. For those who love Kikyou, I brought her to life again and this time with a happier ending; just follow this link. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2969859/1/Forbidden |
| F for kikyo, and, the first kiss in all anime |
 |
| I never expected to shed tears for Kikyo's death, have never been a fan, but there were just so many beautiful emotions in this episode I couldn't help it :< Adding the instrumental song was a nice touch too. |
 |
| That end was pretty with the ost coming in at that exact right time T___T It made me tear up and I'm full of goosebumps everywhere. That's some good music there (Boa: Every Heart?) |
 |
| I dont hate Kikyo but good riddance, how long it took for her to finally pass away? seeing Inuyasha waver between the 2 was so fucking annoying at times lol |
 |
| another good episode, the episodes just keeping getting better. from some reason, kikyo's "final death" wasn't that sad that i excepted to be. and naraku had got away again with more shikon than ever, one more time and it will be too repetitive. and the directing of this episode reminded me the direction of code geass from some reason xD |
| Naraku you fucking piece of dogshit, I never hated villains to this extent but this guy is worst. that bgm boiled my insides, one of my fav childhood characters dying like that, iirc she was the first character I ever shipped with someone and watching her die like that pains me more than I thought. ;-; Someone please find me that background music. |
| The show has been progressing smoothly and promising so far. The delivery of the Kiyko's final scene coupled with the bgm is beautiful and emotional. The entire team all work together to defeat this piece of shit. Kiyko finally could die peacefully in the arm of the man that she loves and giving a kiss is good way to end their relationship. |
  |
| This would've been a good final episode actually, though Sesshomaru would not have been involved. Guess Kohaku is next. |
| Don't really get the love for Inu x Kiyko. There was hardly any scenes between them that solidifies them as a couple. Most of the time they met up was to talk about strategy. They felt so distant from one another and just had a really boring interaction when you compare it to Kagome and Inuyasha. Felt like there was no chemistry. Also, I don't really get the bond between Kikyo and Kagome. Kagome crying for Kikyo made it seem like they had a long strong friendship with one another when in reality, they hardly interacted. They seem more like strangers who help each other time to time and that's it. Not really convincing. Koga and Inuyasha are more true rivals. |

| Sayonara, Kikyo. T-T I'm probably in the minority who liked Kikyo from the beginning and would've preferred Inuyasha to stay with Kikyo over Kagome. But it was obvious that this was a sinking ship from the start... But it's still painful. I nearly cried. As for why I wanted Inuyasha to be with Kagome instead of Kikyo, I think it might become clear in the last episode. Kikyo is a very misunderstood and overhated character (like some other characters in the show). I'm glad this episode ended with everyone realizing they owed something to Kikyo. The best part was seeing Kagome not being jealous of her anymore. It seems she finally kept her promise from episode 48. Goddammit, Naraku. Even though this was the episode where he was more cornered than in any previous episodes, he still got away and dealt a massive blow to Inuyasha's group, especially Inuyasha with the loss of Kikyo. And that's why I love the bastard so much (as a villain). Nothing will make me more satisfied than to see him die a miserable and pitiful death. |
| Dang, people be dying like every episode now. |
 |
| Hearing one of the opening songs used for Kikyo's death honestly made me sad. That specific opening was the only one to make me teary-eyed, so that was just perfect. |
| gunk. |
| What an episode. Kikyo is gone, and this time for good. Her relationship with Inuyasha was nothing short of a tragedy. But now, after all their efforts to destroy what obstructed their love for each other, they have their last kiss as a final farewell. I also liked how the entire cast was expressing regret for what they could've done to save her or past misunderstandings. That scene with Kaede was also a nice touch. Plus the songs that played whenever there was a montage of what happened between Kikyo and Inuyasha 50 years ago. And the wonderful scenery. The whole moment was just so well executed. |
| Farewell Kikyo, a great tragic character. Now InuYasha can finally move on. |
| I'm kind of annoyed that they had nearly the entire jewel shard back and Kagome purified it, only for Kikyo to just give it right back to Naraku trying to purify him. She failed so all this was for nothing. They should have kept it away from him. At least her soul was finally saved but now Naraku only needs one final shard and it's all over for everyone. |
