Mōryōmaru

There is no Me. I am an amalgamation of demons sewn together, a Frankenstein. I am living evolution, becoming stronger, faster, better. And I am hungry. So very hungry. I, Mōryōmaru, will absorb them all, become impenetrable, omnipotent! All to be my master’s soldier.

I wanted to bring you another analysis of Sesshomaru and Kagura's relationship with some details I hadn't noticed before. 👀

Did Sesshomaru know that Kagura wouldn't die even if her body took heavy damage? It's very likely that he had guessed it.

First of all I found a VERY interesting detail in the manga. Here Kagura tells Sesshomaru "Hakudoshi is a Naraku's offspring, he's like him" referring to the fact that no matter how many times you destroy his body, he doesn't die because he doesn't have his heart inside him. So Sesshomaru, consequently, could have definitely thought that Kagura is like that too, as she actually is.

Another hint that Sesshomaru probably knew is that although Jaken and Rin are quite convinced that Kagura died with that huge hole in her chest, Sesshomaru is patiently waiting for her to wake up. Jaken even wonders "How did she get here in that state? She should be dead!".

But in any case we know that many things on Sesshomaru's part would be out of his character, for example showing that he cares about a Naraku's offspring in front of someone would be too much for his pride but, as much as he tries to show that he doesn't care about her at all, some of his gestures betray him.

For example, when Kagura tells him about having found Naraku's heart, the first and only thing Sesshomaru feels like saying is to warn her that she's in danger "In that case, any further actions on your part are futile, Naraku would soon find out that you're going after his heart".

First he says he doesn't care what happened to her but the thing that seems to have caught his attention the most is that Naraku knows about Kagura's betrayal and he can't help but warn her, typical Sesshomaru behavior… 😏

And when she leaves he watches her go away with an intense and worried look.

Furthermore, it's significant that, right in the middle of this chapter, Rumiko inserted a scene in which Naraku talks about the fact that he doesn't kill Kagura yet because she's still useful to him for one thing. In the manga it's not specified what, however in the anime Naraku says that Kagura is a perfect bait for Inuyasha and his friends... 👀 Sesshomaru was close to find Naraku's heart but he gave it up to go to save Kagura...

When they next met, Sesshomaru felt the need to protect her when Moryomaru was finding out that Kagura gave him the shards.

And it's no coincidence that Sesshomaru got worried when he smelled Naraku's scent next to Kagura's and not before then, because at that moment he knew that Kagura was REALLY in danger.

In conclusion, I think Rumiko Takahashi is really good at showing when Sesshomaru cares about someone without him going out of his character. 😊

Monster Chapter 11

__

"Inuyasha!" He heard her scream, and although slightly sluggish, he turned to see her running from the bushes, stumbling slightly as she tripped.

The village people were emerging, concerned, awe-struck, terrified, curious. A quiet murmur was humming, causing his sensitive ears to flick, and he caught the question of a conjurer multiple times. They'd heard Moryomaru. They'd seen the arrow from their windows and hiding spaces. And, Kagome was coming through with her quiver on her shoulder and a bow in her hand.

No.

"Kagome, go back!" He shouted, trying to get up and run to her but stumbling on the palms of his bloodied hands as he turned around.

She dropped the bag she'd loosely thrown over her free shoulder to the ground, her bow right next to it as she skidded to her knees when she was near enough. "Don't move, don't move." Kagome urged, her hands hovering around the sides of his face.

"Listen to me, okay?" Inuyasha started, his tone hushed and hurried. "You need to run. I'll catch up."

"No." Kagome cried.

"Baby, please." He reached for her, his dirty fingers tremblingly wrapping around the back of her neck. "You have to."

"No! I'm not leaving you!"

Custom Toonami Block Week 173 Rundown

The Witch from Mercury: Okay so I have a notoriously hard time of comprehending Gundam plots so if I get anything wrong… that’s just how it’ll have to be. So it’s the old chesnut Gundam franchise have been milking for forty years now… Earth vs Space, like seriously I haven’t even seen all the Gundam serieses and I am SO sick of setup and everyone philosophizing about how going into space gives people superpowers and shit like can Gundam as a series think of anything else to do? But yeah apparently in this verse they originally were making prosthetics for people that had muscle dystrophy and shit from being in space and then as someone always does they went ‘cool but what if we did WAR with it?’ and now regular mobile suits and Gundams are just quietly being built in the background even though no official war is going on and the Gundams make people fucking die from a combination of information overload similar to the Zero System in Wing and that shit in Pacific Rim that made it so you needed two people to coordinate motor functions of a huge robot. Enter Eri, tiny girl with a mysterious connection to the big Barbie Gundam being built by her parents who are definitely not surviving this episode. It’s her birthday because this backstory is REALLY gonna kick her in the metaphorical nuts and the Space People have decided ‘Gundams kill their own guys, I’M supposed to kill their guys, that’s not fair bro’ which, A+ politicianing, no notes, I’m sure that’d go over well with a CEO just shouting about how he wants to kill people on the battlefield before they can nobly sacrifice themselves and that’s why he has to shutdown the big superweapons will go over great, like anime politicians can just get away with saying the wildest shit while real politicians come under fire if you don’t say the word god enough in a speech. But yeah instead of just shutting them down and destroying their research they just fucking come out swinging and do a full Space Colony ARK and murder everyone in the station (I think these guys were Earth-Alligned despite being in a space station idk this is why I have a hard time keeping track of this shit) like I feel like that was overkill and just PR nosedive for no reason but Eri needs a tragic backstory. Like is there functionally any reason they had to go murder everyone instead of just going ‘your shit’s illegal now, hand over your research OR will kill you’ instead of going ‘hand over your shit AND we’ll kill you’? Like I guess they’re doing a scorched earth approach and wanting to make sure and are prolly gonna say the unarmed scientists resisted to a level that required lethal force but that really seemed unnecessary, like you probably could’ve tied that up in courts and had them hand over all their shit instead of murder. While all this is going on Eri’s in the Barbie Gundam and surprise surprise she can get it to work when no one else can, her dad and the random technician lesbian take out the non-Barbie gundams and murder everyone except for the angsty pretty boy in the obligatory regal-looking suit that’s fancier than normal but technically not a gundam to get around plot shit while Eri and her mom get away in the Barbie Gundam which I’m honestly kind of surprised Eri’s mom gets to live I was expecting a full familial wipe from a backstory going this hard on the trauma and eerie innocence of its main character.

Inuyasha The Final Act: After the events with Moryomaru, Koga’s joined the group and Shippo notes how it changes the dynamic now that he’s actively stoking the Inuyasha/Kikyo/Kagome love triangle and Shippo doesn’t like it but I kinda do, it’s kinda funny to have a party member that isn’t super friendly with the others. Meanwhile Naraku reabsorbs Onigumo’s heart, theorizing that if he can’t directly kill Kikyo without it, he can use the overt shittiness of humanity to corrupt the purifying light she puts into Kohaku’s shard to try and purify him. So that gives him the ability to shoot spiderwebs of bad vibes at people to corrupt them mentally since I guess Onigumo’s fine with mindbreaking Kikyo even if he can’t overtly kill her. Kikyo’s absorbed Miroku’s miasma and give her own was never fully healed she’s like 75% poison at this point and basically half dead so she has to ditch Kohaku so he doesn’t get corrupted, luckily Sesshomaru takes over the Kohaku Babysitting duties for the time being. Meanwhile Kagome is once again the only one who can save Kikyo and we have to play the song and dance of ‘does Kagome want Kikyo to literally die for a love triangle?’ again even though we’ve established time and time again the answer is fucking no, though this time we have Naraku actively pumping bad vibes into her to at least give her doubts while she goes to get the only bow that can purify Kikyo. This part’s kinda trippy since we see a bunch of illusions of Kikyo and Inuyasha and they keep going ‘no it’s real this time’ like an episode of Rick and Morty until we show that Kikyo and Inuyasha are still outside the shrine so absolutely none of it was real. Kagome has to AGAIN reject the idea of wanting her romantic rival to literally die though this time coming out on the side of her and Kikyo being equals because she’s sick of feeling like a Johnny come lately trying to vault over the First Girl and has a whole series of character development to relate to Inuyasha with so that’s a nice little moment of her in-universe being sick of the fucking endless tests of her heart, like Kagome’s fundamentally a good girl and yeah constantly getting asked this question has gotta be grating when it’s something she barely ever thought about.

Castlevania: We get Hector’s backstory now so we have all the pieces on the humans Dracula’s recruited while Carmilla’s still stirring the shit trying to get someone to go after the Belmont house and I’m still not entirely sure if she’s the one that will cause infighting that will ruin the bad guys’ plans or if she’s the more dangerous villain ready to take over for the more sympathetic Dracula The Rock style. Meanwhile Trevor’s group do come across the Belmon treasure trove and it is kinda sweet to see him reminisce over his childhood and family legacy despite how much he seemed to disown them in season 1. He gets a cool new weapon and Sypha gets to read books and shit but Alucard’s basically walking through the vampire version of the holocaust museum so he’s more than a little freaked out. Back at Castle Castlevania Godbrand’s a bit concerned that human genocide is kinda like cow genocide in that it makes everything kinda shitty on the food chain and Dracula just wants to be done with humanity. Their interaction cues us that Dracula’s actually kinda pulling a better-explained Raizen from YYH and slowly starving despite still being ridiculously powerful and may be plotting to let vampires die out with humans so everything’s just a quiet empty void (like I think vampires can still survive without humans but it’s a lot less pleasant so idk if a vampire genocide is really in the cards but it’s not something people are clamoring for). Still Carmilla’s just here to play the Starscream and take things over so I guess get ready for Carmillavania in Season 3.  

Jujutsu Kaisen: So turns out Megumi’s technique is like Pokemon and you have to fight the big monsters before you get to capture them and send them out for you and getting help means you don’t get the capture but you do get to try again if you need to and there’s a super secret legendary pokemon that no one’s every caught before and actually killed a Gojo-level guy in the past, though it obviously kills the person summoning it first. So much for Megumi being all ‘I’m not throwing my life away’ a few episodes ago because his first response to being attacked by a C-tier asshole is summoning the Ultra Necrozma nuke. I assume this is the technique that he’s been talking about all those times we’ve gone ‘oh he’s gonna do a big attack’ except probably the time against Todo because that wouldn’t make any sense but given the mass carnage here I’m kinda glad he didn’t pull it out until now because it definitely would’ve murdered a fuckton of people in the process. Sukuna steps in because Megumi doesn’t technically die until hand-hold guy dies so as long as he’s able to keep them alive while fighting Ultra Necrozma here everything’s cool. The rest of the episode is basically just a ridiculous slugfest between Sukuna and Ultra Necrozma because this guy’s like Amazo from Justice League and adapts to any and all attacks so the only way to beat it is to obliterate it on an atomic level with something it’s never seen before. Realizing and implying there is something sneaky about his ‘cut anything forever’ attack, Sukuna uses his Domain which is basically like sticking something in a blender combined with that glitch in OoT that’s just infinite sword swings and for good measure hits it with the fire arrow thing from last time to make sure it can’t regenerate. The end result basically turns Shibuya into Made in Abyss with a giant fuckoff hole in the center. He gets Megumi to safety and kills hand-holding guy FINALLY and then he just hands consciousness off back to Yuji who now remembers EVERYTHING from the past three episodes or so all at once and gets flashes of the hundreds of thousands of deaths his body is responsible for. So… yeah, that’s rough buddy.

Delicious in Dungeon: Just getting this out of the way but this is another of those ‘have you ever played an RPG before?’ anime that is ridiculously video gameified and kind of relies on all the tropes you already know about games for its worldbuilding and like luckily it’s charming enough on its own to not have that wreck the show for me but the over-reliance on making every fantasy setting a video game is REALLY a pet peeve of mine. But yeah, this series is rather silly, Laios’s sister Falin gets eaten by a dragon and there’s a medium-level urgency to get her back before she’s digested. Like the stakes are really confusing because several characters make it very clear how important getting her back is but part of the comedy seems to be how they’re not in a huge hurry and stop for food every five minutes, plus it’s not entirely clear if this is one of those video game fantasy settings that has no consequences for dying since they seem kind of chill about finding corpses and Marcille refers to a life-threatening situation being her ‘first time’ dying despite there being graveyards and shit so this is the kind of shit that really bugs me about video game-style fantasy worlds and I assume it’ll get explained later but it gets under my skin. Still the whole thing basically turns into a Food Wars episode as Laios is very passionate about monsters like in a Garou-level sense of just being hyperfixated but also has no idea how to go through the manual skill needed to actually cook them which is strange given he seemed to be kind of looking for an excuse to do this for years. Still, luckily they find Senshi, a guy whose whole deal is having already done this for years and basically treats it like a Martha Stewart show and it’s pretty funny watching them meet halfway between Food Wars and Toriko. Like there’s not much more to it than that, they make some scorpion soup and some vegetable tart and Marcille gets an obligatory tentacle scene though it’s not protracted and doesn’t have any fanservice shots so I get the feeling it was just something to fuel fanart as opposed to actually showing anything which is an interesting way to take things, let the R34 machine run itself without having to dirty their own hands. It’s fun, the setting is one of my least favorite things about modern anime and the tone is kind of confusing but I’m sure that’ll even out with time, I am enjoying it thus far.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End: The first bit of the episode is a little adventure developing the new group dynamic now that Stark has joined and Fern isn’t really sure what to do with him. Frieren gets to meet some more of the people touched by her adventure and the far-reaching festivals made in honor of their deeds. The real meat of the episode is in the second part though and we get some really good stuff here. The group enters a new town when Frieren senses demons and goes into attack mode, but turns out these demons wear clothes and shit and are all fancy and the like, being ambassadors to try peace talks with the village. Since Frieren just attacked a foreign ambassador they throw her right the fuck in jail and Fern gives her the scoop that one of the Demon King’s generals took over after he died and is now leading the charge but the ambassadors have decided that peace may be an option. Frieren is ridiculously racist against demons but also kinda describes how they kinda deserve it by telling a story of a demon girl that was trusted by a community only to murder more people and only using sympathetic words to save herself from attacks. Or at least that’s how Frieren sees things, the real story is the girl was taken in by the town and still hated for the people she had previously killed so in a truly utilitarian sense she stole a replacement child for the one she’d murdered just to get their racist asses off her backs and the evil Frieren sees in her is an ignorance of emotion, someone that’s not necessarily good or bad and is an alien to human connections acting in ways that appear horrendous to those that have them. Someone just like Fern. That’s kind of the part that gets me, like earlier this same episode we see how foreign basic social skills are to Fern and Frieren herself and granted they’re not murdering people but it’s the same kind of not fully understanding people thing that throws off the ‘measure of a man’ speeches because if you say someone that lacks compassion or social understanding is a monster what happens when a human shares those qualities, someone who’s antisocial or autistic and can’t be bought in by the ‘love makes us human’ answer to the kind of sentient being whose life we should or shouldn’t value, if that’s where we’re going with this I’m really excited. Still for the time being the demons are right dicks and manipulate the guards with all the right words of ‘oh but we’ve suffered too, let’s have peace’ that would absolutely wreck any Naruto-minded Talk no Jutsu protagonist despite demons literally not having families (and this seemingly crucial fact apparently not being widely known). Turns out the ambassadors’ plan is to make peace and then have the town lower its barrier so they can burn it to the ground which… doesn’t make any fucking sense like it’s not like you’re disarming a weapon you’re asking them to take down a purely defensive shield that can’t actually hurt anybody and promising ‘we won’t attack bro’ without giving any sign of good faith on your end, might as well ask them to tear down their walls like that probably protects them from non-demon creatures and judging by last episode is a crucial part of border control, like that’s a dumb plan. It’s frustrating because their emotional manipulation is ridiculously good but their actual plan doesn’t make any sense. Still this complicated situation is about to get a lot simpler because one of the junior ambassadors just fucking barges into the dungeon, kills a guard and is ready to kill Frieren, like these guys are so fucking dumb even if Frieren wasn’t a demi-god how are you going to explain a dead guard outside the cell while the fugitive elf died in the cell like you just blew your whole dumb barrier-lowering plan because you couldn’t think of a diplomatic way to get in to see the prisoner and had to kill her right fucking now.

Vinland Saga: Thorfinn and Snake continue their fight and are surprisingly evenly matched despite Thorfinn just using his fists and not being as small and nimble as he was when he first developed his knife style. Thorfinn isn’t defeated but does lose the battle of the terrain when Snake is able to move over to the cart and get to Gardar. He makes a good point that he can’t justify just letting Gardar go since he really cares about his whole crew and taking anything less than revenge would be an insult. Now obviously this is still wrong but making the ‘an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind’ argument is a little difficult when you’re in Viking times and have like five seconds before this guy stabs him. Snake starts making plans of what to do now that Thorfinn and Arnheid have disobeyed him and Gardar just… pops up out of the cart like a daisy and stopped the sword with his astonishing pecs or some shit because he gets Snake in a sleeper hold and knocks him out. Arnheid talks him down from killing Snake and Gardar’s still gonna die anyway so the rest of the episode is just a big schmaltzy sendoff for Gardar and all the regrets he’s had in his life and it’s a pretty cool sequence for someone whose character development mostly came from other people. Like just saying, Askeladd was basically the main character for a while and all he got was a final speech and Gardar gets a whole dream sequence of finding his obviously dead son. Still now we’re in the weird position of Arnheid being taken by Ketil’s guards and Ketil himself coming home to find his bottom bitch and his favorite slave tried to start a revolt over a guy he’s never heard of while war with the king is looming on the horizon, so… awkward, I guess.

[inukag]

I actually think the poetic moment of Inuyasha going to hell for Kagome was done on purpose. Inuyasha believing he doesn’t deserve to live at the beginning, and then deciding he wants to live so he ends up going to hell, is very on brand for RT. Just like RT’s puns, I’ve seen plot twists like that in some of RT’s earlier works like Ranma or Madison Ikkoku. Unfortunately, Inuyasha dragged on for so long these comparative moments lost their focus. A victim of its own success, if you will. Imagine if Inuyasha wasn’t a weekly monster-of-the-week and had proper breaks between arcs or seasons like modern webtoons.

I keep going back and forth between "Rumiko explicitly said that her works aren't deep so it's probably coincidental" and "that parallel/symbolism/subtext is way too good to not be done on purpose" lmao!

Honestly I think we as a fandom deserve a remaster (?) of the Inuyasha manga. You know how some people re-edit movies or tv shows so they make more sense? We should do that and also fix all the translation issues. I would cut 90% of the Moryomaru arc so the story can start wrapping up after the band of seven / Mt Hakurei arc. I volunteer to do the editing, I need someone to help me figure out the fixes for the narrative and tell me where I could upload that without getting into trouble, lol.

#ask #Anon #there's also a lot of stuff i would add in but that would require a lot of editing #like kikyo having a better redemption arc and having more positive interactions with kagome #an inukag kiss of course #and adding moroha in an epilogue

[hahaalaine]

Get Moryomaru's ass, Inuyasha!!!

#inuyasha #manga cap

[twin-azure-dragon-wave]

I think it’s funny how some fans will accuse Sunrise of being Team Kikyo and being obsessed with her when they didn’t even animate the scene of her helping save Sesshomaru from Moryomaru.

Like, Kikyo had already saved Rin from Suikotsu, they couldn’t show her helping Sesshomaru out of a jam yet again because they had to rearrange some stuff because they needed to fit nearly 200 chapters worth of manga into 26 episodes of The Final Act they knew it would make her too powerful.

Kagura & Kohaku (and Sesshomaru)

I've been wanting to do this post for a while, because I think Kagura's relationship with Kohaku is one of the most significant, and it ties Kagura to Sesshomaru in various ways.

At first, when Kohaku fell under Naraku's control, Kagura was just the one who transported Kohaku and got him back after a mission. She didn't really care what happened to him, she just wanted to find a way to be free. But when she realized that Kohaku had regained his memories, she started talking to him and feeling empathy for him. Kohaku was just a child who had been forced to kill his family and who was now a hostage of Naraku, just like her.

And over time, we see that Kagura begins to protect Kohaku. She tells no one that he recovered his memories and on several occasions she lies so that he does not get into trouble. One of the most important episodes for Kohaku is 163, where Kirara, Kohaku and Sango are the main characters and all three remember the time when they lived together in the village of demon slayers. But the fourth most important character there is Kagura. She is present throughout the episode and realizes that Kohaku wants to see his sister, but instead of reporting that to Naraku, Kagura tells Kohaku to take care:

And at the end of the chapter she lies to Hakudoshi telling him that she doesn't know where Kohaku is.

Like Sesshomaru, Kagura has a learning of compassion and empathy for others and this is reflected in her relationship with Kohaku. I love that, in several openings, she is frequently portrayed next to or in front of Kohaku, as if she were a barrier between the boy and Naraku.

And at the end of the series, it is precisely she who dies saving Kohaku from Naraku. Hakudoshi ordered Kagura to take the fragment from Kohaku, but when the time came, Kagura couldn't do it. She did not want him to suffer the same fate as her. So she rebelled against Hakudoshi and helped Kohaku escape.

Kagura not only let Kohaku go, she gave him one of her feathers and sent him away, while she stayed behind to fight Hakudoshi.

She knew she couldn't beat Hakusoshi (Let's remember that she had already faced him and he almost killed her that time). But still Kagura was willing to sacrifice her life to save Kohaku's. 

She also knew that this represented a betrayal to Naraku and that he would kill her. And that was what finally happened. That is why Naraku killed Kagura. Many of us remember that she died because Naraku pierced her chest and injected poison into her. But Naraku did that because she betrayed him by saving Kohaku.

Kagura died to save Kohaku's life. And that's one of the most beautiful things about her character. That shows us the growth she has had as a person, and that she was a brave woman who had a noble and gentle heart.

And Sesshomaru knows this. He finds out that Kagura died saving Kohaku when he is fighting with Moryomaru.

And what does Sesshoumaru end up doing? yes, he ends up caring for and protecting Kohaku. Because that's one of the ways he's going to make sure Kagura didn't die in vain. Sesshomaru will protect the child Kagura gave her life for.

And he will continue to do so, even years after her death:

Sesshomaru’s Anger

THIS is why people ship SessKagu. He knew the sword would break and he would be defenseless; InuYasha had to beg him to stop. Sesshomaru knowingly put his LIFE in danger just to protect Kagura’s honor, and almost got himself killed!  The anime took that away from him THIS is why she is important! This is chapter 406 “Anger”

Byakuya, Setsuna, + Moth Based Powers + Additional Thoughts

Credit for this post and its contents go to @leopardprintismybrown​. These are all observations made by them, but I was given permission to make this post. They found that in Final Act, Episode 4 (manga - Ch. 434), we see Byakuya creating and/or controlling a giant moth (the wikia states it is a moth demon). 

From the anime episode, we know that it is golden in color:

And Setsuna has a moth based move as well, with moths that are white-yellow-ish color:

They also noted that Byakuya’s outfit looks like moth wings:

My own, personal, thoughts on this: 

While the moth powers are a bit different in execution and ability, these manga/anime events show a connection between Byakuya, his powers, and moths. Something that was noted on the Inuyasha Wikia page and likely contributes to the thought that Byakuya may have been created from a moth demon, etc.

Setsuna’s moth connection may end up being due to the whole Dream Butterfly connection, but it may be a connection to what we see here with Byakuya. The golden dust that comes off of the moths here are very similar to the golden dust we see the Dream Butterfly release after it’s consumed someone’s dreams and sleep. This may just be an indicator of the magical/illusional aspect of the moths and butterflies, or it may indicate something more.

Also, now that we’ve gotten a number of episodes that have used past demons/battles in Yashahime, with two of them being specifically connected to Moryomaru, and in this arc we see Moryomaru consume the moth demon and nearly consume Shinta as well. This arc having Koga in it (a character that is included in the Others Characters section of the Inuyasha section of the Yashahime official site) has me speculating that we may be seeing the anime exploring this particular arc/story in an upcoming episode. That’s just pure theory and speculation on my part, but I won’t be surprised either way (if it shows up  or not).

The main focus here is on the connection between Byakuya, moths, powers, and Setsuna.

Before judging Kagura as "bad" or "selfish", think about everything she had to go through.

Whenever Naraku sensed signs of non-obedience, he threatened her by squeezing her heart to make her feel pain or, even worse, he kept her chained. She wasn't free to do anything and was constantly threatened or tortured. (*Someone* even tried to make a super forced connection between Kagura's desire to be free from all this with not wanting a man by her side, when the two things really have nothing to do!).

I'm not saying that Kagura was perfect and that she never did anything wrong, rather than obeying Naraku she should have preferred to die, but I'd like to make a couple of considerations.

The first consideration is that Kagura never gave me the feeling of being really cruel and heartless, everything negative she did she did exclusively to survive and in her there was the ability to feel compassion, we saw it with Kohaku.

Here we can see that Kagura shows concern for Kohaku and warns him.

More than one time...

Here her reaction of shock when Moryomaru asks her to bring him Kohaku's fragment that keeps him alive...

Just before, Moryomaru threatened her, yet she thinks of Kohaku first than her.

Look at her face when she realizes that Kohaku's fate is to die anyway, it's certainly not the look of someone who is indifferent...

And in the end she even lets him escape despite having been threatened first by Moryomkaru and then by Hakudoshi.

So Kagura is ABLE to feel compassion, she's not heartless.

The second consideration is a question to those who condemn Kagura, in your opinion if Sesshomaru had been in Kagura's place, would he have behaved differently from her? Although now he has become more compassionate, I'm not sure at all that he'd be ready to die for people he doesn't care about, he's still too self-centered to do something like that in my opinion! So why does Kagura deserves to die, for doing what Naraku asked her to do, if even Sesshomaru most likely wouldn't have acted differently?

Also, since I saw Kagura's reaction when Sesshomaru went to save her, I have the strong feeling that LOVE could save and soften her heart. For the first time I saw a sweet and serene expression on her face, as if every negative feeling inside her had gone away.

This is one of the reasons why I see a romantic relationship between them as something absolutely positive, I'm convinced that Kagura just needed LOVE to bring out even more those compassionate sides that could already be glimpsed in her.
