The Many Abductions of Kagome Higurashi

[Kitschensyngk]

Recently, Adult Swim has decided to re-broadcast Inuyasha from the very beginning. (Good because I missed one back in summer 2005.)

Now that as of this writing we're at the episode where the witch Urasue has just kidnapped Kagome, I find that a question that dogged my mind in years past has come back to the surface:

How many times in this show has Kagome been abducted?

Has anyone ever kept track of this, aside from the most obsessive Dogboy fan?

[Duke]

She got abducted in Episode 2 as well by nameless bandits. As well as the other Thunder Brother during Shippo's introduction. And she got abducted again tonight by Miroku (OK, so it was only for about 5 mintues, but still).

[The Myst]

Why don't we just keep this topic around and chart the kidnappings night by night?

[tucsoncoyote]

So far up to tonight, including Miroku's Abduction, the count so far is 3...And still going..so then Let's see how many more times Kagome gets "Snatched"

(Maybe we should Call this thread, "Invasion of the Kagome Snatchers").:p
Just a weird little thought on that.

:coyote:

Oh I'd say he had a motive. A very dishonorable one but a motive nonetheless.

[Space Cadet]

Myst, do you like or dislike IY? I don't remember if you said so.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Episode 16
Captor:
Miroku
Motive:
none

To steal the Jewel Shards.

[Kitschensyngk]

To steal the Jewel Shards.

If he had wanted the jewel shards, he could have stolen them while she was at the hot spring before he learned Inuyasha was there too.

I figure his reason for kidnapping Kagome were the same as his reason for groping Sango's butt...that's just who he is, he has no reason.

[The Myst]

Myst, do you like or dislike IY? I don't remember if you said so.

I like it well enough but I think it had very bad flaws, particularly towards the end of the series. After 160 episodes, the fact that they were no closer to defeating Naraku and Kagome and Inuyasha were no closer to a relationship than at the start of the series is just unacceptable in my opinion. It shows complete incompetence of the part of the writers to properly develop a series. But really, the writers of the series can't be blamed because Takahashi refused to develop it much more in the manga. She still hasn't. It's ridiculous.

That said, I love stand-alone episodes like the one where Inuyasha broke Kagome's bike and ended up meeting her friends. Even when they did the fights and stuff in the present world, I really liked it. The cultural festival arc was good, for instance. The thing with the soul piper was good. But when they got bogged down in long arcs in the past like with the Band Of Seven (My personal pick for the lowpoint of the whole series) it was evident they were just killing time while avoiding developing anything because Takahashi wasn't providing any development for them to build with. It was boring and pointless. Another bad one was when they met Akitoki Hojo again. Utterly useless filler. I understand they had to do it but there's plenty of good filler in the series. They just half-assed this one. I was really looking forward to it because I liked the movie with him.

But I'm ranting. So as to whether I like Inuyasha, yes and no. Some of it was really good, some episodes were laughably bad for me.

I've heard the episodes I like are more typical of Ranma which makes me sort of agree with Takahashi may just be out of her element with an action series.

Oh and "SIT BOY!" is the worst catchphrase ever. Ok, ok, I'm done.

[Duke]

At least she's developed Miroku and Sango (while kinda-sorta de-powering Miroku and kinda-sorta upgrading Sango).

[The Myst]

Miroku and Sango was developed more and I applaud that, though it sure took long enough after a bunch of teases towards it.

[drakh]

Hmm... Koga took her when he showed up I believe, 'cuz he lurves her.

The infant and Kagura went off with her in 125-126, hoping to turn her into a mindless jewel shard detector.

And I don't know if you want to count it, but the "demon cave" trapped her and Kikyo to feed of their powers (or something like that) in ep 98.

[Carlos]

I've heard the episodes I like are more typical of Ranma which makes me sort of agree with Takahashi may just be out of her element with an action series.




Yeah, Takahashi is better with comedy/action shows than the other way around. Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura are more comedy based than action based. She can do realistic drama with doses of comedy as well(Maison Ikkoku).

[Space Cadet]

So, you like the episodes more when Inuyasha is in the present world than most of the episodes Kagome is in the feudal era. I agree.

[Kagetsu]

If he had wanted the jewel shards, he could have stolen them while she was at the hot spring before he learned Inuyasha was there too. Well, he really wasn't ready to assault her. It takes time to plan.


I figure his reason for kidnapping Kagome were the same as his reason for groping Sango's butt...that's just who he is, he has no reason.Two birds with one stone :anime:[/birds] The best line there,"He took the shards from under your nose". :sweat: Actually from between her,,,[/well you know] :anime: [/I'm going to have fun with this]

[RAINMAN]

While y`all at it someone shoould take count how many times she yell SIT.

[Duke]

While y`all at it someone shoould take count how many times she yell SIT.
Kagome broke that counter by Episode 20.

[Kyuss]

I'd say more than 20. But I honestly don't keep track of such things since it's not covered in my portfolio.

[Kitschensyngk]

While y`all at it someone shoould take count how many times she yell SIT.

I tried that once. I lost count after several episodes.

[RAINMAN]

Kagome must be one of the worst females in animes next to asuka and pan.

[Kaiser0120]

Kagome must be one of the worst females in animes next to asuka and pan.

WOW. RELEVANT.

Anyway, I'm sure there's a site out there which, for it's own uniqueness, went about all the episodes and possibly the manga and kept track of how many times she yelled Osuwari/Sit. As far as getting kidnapped, though... Dunno 'bout that.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Kagome must be one of the worst females in animes next to asuka and pan.

Shut your mouth, Kagome rules.

And so does Asuka.

[Kitschensyngk]

Kagome must be one of the worst females in animes next to asuka and pan.

Never diss Asuka.

She may be a third wheel, but she's a first-rate Second Child.

[Duke]

While the main drinking points are chuckle-worthy, the sub-points are a laugh riot.

[Timmay]

"Abducted" is #6 in the drinking game:

(Please drink milk if you are under 21 or on the wagon!)

:confused:

I wouldn't make it, especially if it was the full hour of Inuyasha that's on now.. at a minimum it's like 30 drinks per episode.

[RAINMAN]

Shut your mouth, Kagome rules.

And so does Asuka.


Sure they rule.....in being annoying.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Sure they rule.....in being annoying.

Alright, that's it.

You should know better than to insult a fanboy's female characters.

[Don_East]

Alright, that's it.

You should know better than to insult a fanboy's female characters.

For once, I agree on the subject. You(RAINMAN) are semi-trolling this thread. Personally I think Kagome is cute girl to be with a super-tolerable personality.

[tucsoncoyote]

For once, I agree on the subject. You(RAINMAN) are semi-trolling this thread. Personally I think Kagome is cute girl to be with a super-tolerable personality.

I third (or fourth) the notion Don, after all I have been watching Inuyasha since they have been re-started it from the beginning, and I have to say that you and Kuwabara are correct about Kagome. She's very Likeable, and yet she has this even temperment, and believe me if I were Inuyasha, (Being that i am Part Coyote), I would not get on her bad side..(and believe me Inuyasha's done that on a number of Occasions).

Oh and to RAINMAN, I just have to say this, or rather Kagome does:

With a penchant for spousal abuse.

[The Myst]

Kagome is likable at times. She's also a total ***** in other episodes. Particularly in later seasons.

[Kitschensyngk]

The tally updates tomorrow.

Should we count the time Kikyo bound Kagome to a tree with Soul Collectors?

[Duke]

Aren't you forgetting her very first abduction, when the centipede snatched her and started this whole adventure in motion?

I've heard the episodes I like are more typical of Ranma which makes me sort of agree with Takahashi may just be out of her element with an action series.

Oh and "SIT BOY!" is the worst catchphrase ever. Ok, ok, I'm done.

I think dogboy would agree with you!

Maybe the writers would have been better off stealing some plotlines from "Urusei Yatsura" and "Ramna 1/2" episodes.

Takahashi has done drama before (like "Mermaid Forest" and some of her Rumic World work), but IY was evidently her first attempt to mix her UY/Ramna action comedy side with her Japanese folk tale/horror side. Neither "Urusei Yatsura" or "Ramna 1/2" ever had real resolutions, which fine with a classic comedy, but doesn't really work well with IY's dramatic elements.

I wish Takahashi would have done something to really shake things up, like maybe having a third incarnation of Kikyo/Kagome come down through the well from the far future (and drive both of her previous incarnations batty). Or having a descendent of Sesshomaru or a reincarnation of Inuyasha pop up in Kagome's time. There's only so many times Naraku can cause devastation and get clean away before it gets old.


So, you like the episodes more when Inuyasha is in the present world than most of the episodes Kagome is in the feudal era. I agree.

I think the show would have benefitted if it didn't spend so much time in the feudal era. Of course, a large part of the problem is the creators establishing that nothing comes through the well from the past aside from Inuyasha, as well as Kagome being unable to use her powers as a priestess aside from spotting jewel shards and shooting sacred arrows, so it really limits the scope of what you can do. (On the other hand, it seems to me that since Kikyo is a previous version of Kagome, she ought to be able to come through the well as well--too bad the writers have apparently never thought of it, it might be rather interesting.

I wonder what would happen if Kikyo hollered "Sit boy!")


I third (or fourth) the notion Don, after all I have been watching Inuyasha since they have been re-started it from the beginning, and I have to say that you and Kuwabara are correct about Kagome. She's very Likeable, and yet she has this even temperment, and believe me if I were Inuyasha, (Being that i am Part Coyote), I would not get on her bad side..(and believe me Inuyasha's done that on a number of Occasions).

Kagome:
SIT BOY!!!!!


See... Never Diss Kagome... It will come back to Bite you!
(or does the word P'wned mean anything?)

:coyote:

Well, I think the various people in feudal Japan who by-and-large come away with a favorable impression of Kagome can't be all wrong. She's basically a nice girl, but there are a couple aspects that bother me about her.

One reason Kagome gets kidnapped or endangered so often, it seems to me, is that she's in on the action even though there is no real reason for her to be there. In the early episodes, I noticed that often Kagome doesn't have her bow and arrows, and she doesn't even have her first-aid kit in case her allies get the stuffings kicked out of them--so why is she there? Just to be a bullseye?

Another thing that bothers me that she (in both incarnations) don't seem capable of seeing things from Inuyasha's point of view. I strongly suspect "being in love" is simply catching a glimpse of the other's real inner self in its supernal glory--otherwise, how to account for a girl being swept off her feet by a swain that her family and friends clearly see is no more than a humdrum gas jockey? Trouble is, when Inuyasha looks at Kikyo and Kagome in that way, he's not seeing two rival girls but the same girl. Can't they understand that? Moreover, Inuyasha has been yanked out of his own time of 70 years before into a era where the girl he loves is either of the walking dead, or reincarnated in a far future century in which he is totally out of place. If Kagome has no inclination to stay in the feudal era, and even Kikyo seems to grow ever more confused as to what she really wants as time goes on--what do they expect dogboy to do?

Oh well. At least Kagome isn't such a terrible person that any of her kidnappers have concluded this was a baddd idea to begin with and stumbled over each other in their eagerness to bring her back....which has been known to happen in cartoons.

[Demonic Raven]

Well, Koga just showed up, and you know what that means...

"Kagome Kidnapped by Koga the Wolf Demon!"

Kagome's next big abduction! The grand total will then rise to 6 (if you include Gary's observation that the one in Episode 1 counts).

Okay, fine, we'll count that other one. I can't think of a legit reason not to.

I HATE hearing her scream like that.

[tucsoncoyote]

Yep it's up to 6 times and Koga Did kidnap Kagome.. If you listen to what Kagome said, she asked why she was kidnapped...(Kidnapped=Abduction!)

So it's now 6 eh?

:coyote:

[Zechs]

They really should put a tracking device on that girl. Ho Jack keeping track of your girl since 1989.

[Captain Highwind]

It's not so much that she gets kidnapped, it's that you see all of these extras getting mowed down/eaten/vaporized by the demon of the week, and she rarely gets so much as a scratch.

If your eyes are as small as Barney Rubble's in this series, you're more than likely screwed.

[Kitschensyngk]

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but we may want to count this.


Kagome Kidnappings
List Update

Episodes 57-58
Captor:
Tokajin and his Little People playset
Motive:
nourishment for demon tree

Total so far: 7

[The Myst]

I honestly expected her to get kidnapped more times than this.

[Duke]

A rather weak abduction since InuYasha got to Kagome first before Tokajin could really do anything.

[tucsoncoyote]

It's a Group Abduction! (Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome get snagged by Tokajin.. and Inuyash as well..)

But yeah weak abduction... does this really count?

:coyote:

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Well yeah. She still gets taken against her will by Tokajin and stripped for some sort of reason. There are all kind of abudction you know but as long as she taken's against her will and Inuyasha or someone has to save her it does count in the long run. Or the list run as it goes here.

[Duke]

Well yeah. She still gets taken against her will by Tokajin and stripped for some sort of reason.
He wanted to give her a bath because she had gotten so dirty.

[Kyuss]

Have we reached 20 yet?

[tucsoncoyote]

well this thread has made me wonder about something else..

How many times has Kagome said to Inuyasha the phrase "Inuyasha, SIT!" or "Sit Boy!" ? After all it would be fun to see how many times Kagome has had to put 'Dog boy "On a Leash". so to speak.

so anyone want to guess how many times that has happened?

(I'm guessing at least 50 times to as many as 200 times, considering she's said that phrase at least once or twice.

:coyote:

We considered counting that but felt it would be impossible to do so.

[Kyuss]

Or would at least require a will of iron to do so.

[RAINMAN]

Maybe counting how many times the monk grab or rub every girl butt would be better.

[tucsoncoyote]

Maybe counting how many times the monk grab or rub every girl butt would be better.

Now there's a thought! (After all How many times has Miroku decided to do that on any girls backside (We could count Thursday Night/Friday Morning's Events of the Red/White Preisteses to be 2... (Two it shall be!) after all isn't Miroku the letcher of the group?

Also it would be funny to see how many times Mioga the Flea Shows up...I mean he shows up for a few episodes and then disappears for a few.. only to show up again...

And what about the times Shippo talks to Kilala (Sango's Half Demon Cat?)

after all anything goes..Including the abductions!

:coyote:

[RAINMAN]

In that case this far he done it 11 times.

[Kitschensyngk]

I suppose tonight's Dogboy warrants an update of this list...not to mention they've skipped some episodes.

shppo for some reason was suprprise when he fine out she was kidnapped. Yet sango and miroku would not the lease bit worried.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

I don't think the results so far are achieving their intended purpose. 9 kidnappings in 70+ episodes is not what most were originally looking for, I'd wager.

[The Myst]

I don't think the results so far are achieving their intended purpose. 9 kidnappings in 70+ episodes is not what most were originally looking for, I'd wager.

You're right. It's extremely disappointing.

[tucsoncoyote]

You're right. It's extremely disappointing.

I bet Kagome in those 70+ Episodes has said "Sit!" more times then actual abductions!

:coyote:

[Kitschensyngk]

I don't think the results so far are achieving their intended purpose. 9 kidnappings in 70+ episodes is not what most were originally looking for, I'd wager.

Maybe not, but if you count up all the episodes where she's played the hostage and take the average from the 96 episodes we are into the series thus far, it's safe to say that she's an abductee once every six or seven episodes. That's still pretty frequent.

[Kyuss]

Personally I felt Fuu had it worse than Kagome for kidnappings.

[Classic Speedy]

Personally I felt Fuu had it worse than Kagome for kidnappings. I'd have to agree. I don't recall Kagome ever being forced to work in a brothel (although I can't say that for 100%, since I haven't seen every Inu-Yasha episode).

[The Collector]

Originally posted by Kyuss

6 kidnappings in 9 episodes, yeah, that's definately worse. Fuu was about the most useless main character I've ever seen in an anime, which was one of the main reasons I thought that show was. . . less than good.

[Kyuss]

Speedy,

While I might have missed fillers, I was/am consistent in my upkeeps on the manga. To date, there were no brothels shown in the manga. I have doubts that occurred in the anime either, filler or no.

Collector,

Fuu's uselessness wasn't any worse than some women in anime I can think of. The only difference was, it was expected of her in that time frame. I think more of her trouble came when Mugen and Jin weren't around then when they were.

[Kitschensyngk]

Even ancient Japanese demons have schoolgirl fetishes.

[Kyuss]

Kitchen,

Technically they aren't demons. The band of seven are just a band of seven undead humans.

[Hyper Shadow X]

I think there's two more kagome kidnapping's left bring it up to 12.

[Captain Highwind]

Kitchen,

They're spectres, Hechter :P

Although it would have been more fun to call 'em zombies.

[Kyuss]

Hetcher? Who is this Hetcher you speak of? I'm Kyuss.

Yes it would have been nice if Viz had done that part of the dub calling them zombies.

[RockmanDash]

I think Kagome enjoys saying sit and getting kidnaped..:sweat:

[Kyuss]

Megaman,

I do believe the former is accurate. The latter, however, is probably more disputable.

[Hyper Shadow X]

The final number should be around 15 if we count the movies.

[Kyuss]

Hyper,

I don't see why we shouldn't. I mean, while they aren't manga oriented or at least "cannon" to the story, they are a part of it as much as the filler in the anime.

[Gary L Thompson]

Isn't anybody going to count the episode where both Kagome and Kikyo were captured by a demon? I mean, being held in what amounts to being a big gullet where you're going to be devoured would seem to qualify as being held against your will.

(Maybe we should count Kikyo's kidnappings as well? After all, she is sort of Miss Higurashi, first edition.;) )

[tucsoncoyote]

Actually tonight's first episode of Inuyasha right at the end had Kagome saying Sit Boy! or Sit! 16 times.. (I counted..) and believe me, if we did that I would say Kagome did that to Inuyasha at least 100 times... 16 here in this one episode alone.

As for Abductions.. I really think 20 is an Over estimation...

:coyote:

[RAINMAN]

Man koga a real jerk ass? He really don`t care about inuyasha one bit. I know their rivals but come on. It bad enough he didn`t thank inuyasha for saving him. And he wander why kagoma will never fall for him?

I think I'd have to agree with everyone that it wasn't as often as I'd figured.

Can't say we didn't try.

[Captain Highwind]

I think I'd have to agree with everyone that it wasn't as often as I'd figured.


But it still happened more times than it should've...:p

[tucsoncoyote]

Maybe the next time we start at the beginning of Inuyasha maybe we should:

1. Count how many times Kagome tells Inuyasha to "Sit" (Sit or Sit boy counts)...

and,

2. How many times Miroku grabs a girl's butt, or how many times Sango tosses her weapon..(or both).

I think those would prove that these things are more common then Kagome getting abducted...

Just my thoughts.

I've been thinking of going back through the series and counting how many times she's been possessed/attacked/nearly killed or whatever.

Despite where this experiment is leading, I will probably still think of Kagome as the series' "mistress of distress".

That never really gets hurt, while every other human gets annihilated.

I mean, she's not agile, she can't fight, she doesn't know how to dodge or maneuver. Even Miroku knows some fighting skills, and still he takes more damage than she does.

And still she's the one to take the most bone-headed risks. Koga gets swallowed up by Mt. Hakurei, and she runs head-first into the cave. Wouldn't it be a little smarter to get back up on the flying cat so you don't make the same mistake?

[Desensitized]

As I said in the other thread, the biggest challenge would be keeping track of how many times "KAGOME!" and "INUYASHA!" are yelled.

There's got to be over 9000.

the author is a 47 yr old woman that writes more of a soap opera.
It has action, but face it, this is more for little girls and women with the "love story" that never goes anywhere, every one is "kept on the edge of their seats" waiting for them to proclaim love for each other, that is why it will never happen, that will end the series. It is the Moonlighting senerio.

Wrong. Soap operas are not static like this show is. Soap operas are constantly experiencing bizarre plot twists and if this were written like a soap opera, Kagome and Inuyasha would've already been married and divorced five times inbetween five deaths of each character and one season where Kagome left the show.

Don't forget amnesia. Kagome would have had amnesia at least twice.

Yeah, and she would've had an affair with Sesshomaru while she had it while Inuyasha thought she was dead.

While we're on the topic of soap operas...


Kagome Kidnappings
List Update

Episode 129
Captor:
the pig demon Chokyukai
Motive:
his newest wife

Total so far: 12

[Neo Ultra Mike]

That had to be the lamest kidnapping yet. Seriously were Inuyasha and the others underestimating the pig (uh boar) demon so much they forto actually just take that tiara thing off Kagome immeidatley or just skewer the guy? I mean I really doubt Chouyaki would of stood up against the wind scar if Inu would just Unleash it. I mean he unleased it in the modern world and against a town opening in the bookending episdoes so it's not like he just unleases it against strong opponents (at least in filler episodes anyway). Not to mention that this pig guy has all these women kidnapped as wifes and still goes after more. What is he waiting to get enough for a 50+ orgy before he starts getting children bore or what?

[Captain Highwind]

And for a change of pace...Sango gets captured.

-_-;

[ObeliskNoKami]

Recently, Adult Swim has decided to re-broadcast Inuyasha from the very beginning. (Good because I missed one back in summer 2005.)

Now that as of this writing we're at the episode where the witch Urasue has just kidnapped Kagome, I find that a question that dogged my mind in years past has come back to the surface:

How many times in this show has Kagome been abducted?

Has anyone ever kept track of this, aside from the most obsessive Dogboy fan?

She's got nothing on Mokuba.

[Neo Ultra Mike]

She's got nothing on Mokuba.

Sure it's joked a lot in the Abridged series but in truth I think Mokuba's only been actually kidnapped six or so times, including both the manga and the anime. While Kagome's been kidnapped 12 times, or to be more specific...


Kagome Kidnappings
List Update

Episode 138
Captor:
the ninja demon leader Hoshiyomi.
Motive:
to make Inuyasha and Akitoki Hojo give him the Ken blade.

Total so far: 13

Aggh! Beat me to it!

And I think this is the last one in the series too.

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Actually to be accurate Suzaku was the one who kidanpped Kagome this time, not Hoshiyomi. He was just the one holdign her at the end of 138 which got me confused till now. Interesting though this is her last kidnapping. Then again there's only 30 episodes left. Even though that is time for a few more kidnappings, guess not in this case.

[tucsoncoyote]

Well if they ever start again from the beginning again, maybe we should count the number of times Kagome tells inuyasha to "Sit"(Or "Sit Boy"!)

I'm still thinking it's well over 130 times (Heck 16 alone in that one ep).....

:coyote:

[RockmanDash]

Aggh! Beat me to it!

And I think this is the last one in the series too.

So Kagome gets taken a total of 13 times. Maybe when the series starts over(which is in may) You should count how many sits?:sweat:

[Don_East]

Only 13 so far, wow this is a gross exaggeration.

[Desensitized]

Once every ten or so episodes.

Meh, it could have been worse.
