I mean she has always had the same abilities. Sacred Arrows and Jewel Purification. If she could get new abilities I would want her to get the ability create Sacred shields so she can protect herself instead of having to be saved by Inuyasha all the time, and wouldn't it be awesome if there was an episode where there was a one-on-one battle between Kagome and Kikyo?

Yeah. I think that would be really cool. Becaus ein like every manga/anime Inuyasha always has to save her.......if it was different, it would be cool. Everything in the world is always better with change after a long time. smile biggrin

Thanks for your opinion.

♥ | Personally, I think not. In my opinion, Takahashi-sensei did a wonderful job in using what little powers Kagome had to develop her character, as shown by the fact that in one of her fights shortly before the ending of the manga, she never called for Inuyasha or wished for help from anyone other than herself. She didn't have a lot of special abilities, but she knew that she had enough strength and confidence to get her by, regardless of whether Inuyasha was there or not.

Besides, I'm somewhat wary of giving new abilities to characters, anyway. For someone like Kagome whose greatest strengths seem to be making friends and talking too much, making her kick butt on the battlefield distorts her character from "helpless schoolgirl" to "miko warrior" too much -- there needs to be a balance. wink

And about your question about Kikyou fighting Kagome: no. I wouldn't know whose side to be on, and I'd hate to see what it'd do to Inuyasha if it was a full-out fight and not just "miko training" or such. confused | ♥

Yea, she really need an new ability!
Her character is turning dull gonk
And she keeps geting saved...shes no fit to be in Sengoku Period

I dunno about hte ability but a fight between Kagome and Kikyo, the outcome would make Kikyo win. Let's face it she's way more experience, and has better skills; she could easily overwhealm Kagome.

well i know that its kinda obious that inuyasha going to save her but thats what makes it a little romantic with everything and about the fight wit kikyo and Kagome. I hate kikyo so I would go for kagome but i dont think they should fight beacause I mean like it wasnt inuyasha that hurt her it was naraku and thats a totally different person. Plus if shes fighting beacause inuyasha likes her she should just let it go cause its been 50 years.

♥ | Kagome has enough abilities to make her competent and keep her interesting, in my opinion. I don't understand why anyone would want Kagome, a mere bygone Japanese schoolgirl, to suddenly have enough confidence and strength to be able to face everything that the Sengoku Jidai has to throw at her beyond decent defensive abilities. That would be like making her into a Kikyou with a more sociable and outgoing attitude. eek

And I said it before, anyway: towards of the end of the manga, she stopped asking everyone for help; she bore her burden herself and fought her own battles. She didn't need a new set of abilities to do that much.

I'm questioning what Kikyou could do to her, though. It's not like she could purify Kagome...and Kagome's not such a bad shot with her arrows anymore. The only way I could see Kikyou winning is if she used her shikigami or shinidamachuu to abduct her, but that's not very fair. lol

I disagree with the first part, Inuyasha still is in love with Kikyo a bit and probably couldn't hurt her if Kagome was in danger unless it was holding her off while Kagome went to get back up. But W'annabe you do make an intresting point about the last part, Kagome shouldn't have a new ability it kinda outbalance the whole manga if each character(s) got a new power every once in awhile they'd be able to do things that could damage a full fledged demon army without breaking a sweat. xp

♥ | But the second part of my post clearly complements the first part. emo

Fact is, push come to shove, Kagome probably wouldn't have the heart to go against Kikyou, either. She knows too well how it would hurt Inuyasha, which is why she was able to even help Kikyou all of those times in the past. If Kikyou was to attack Kagome outright -- no hesitation -- no new ability would give Kagome the audacity to do the same.

I just don't like it when people give characters skills that they don't have or at least don't seem conceivable even in the realm of the manga, but if there was anything I would like to see Kagome do, it would be purify demons with the touch of her hand like she did against Mistress Centipede in the well. | ♥

That originally was her ability with the shikon jewel inside her, but when miss centipede bit her stomach it fell out than the demon crow took it and was shot with an arrow and pieces flew everywhere and you know the rest smile

♥ | Yeah, I know, but it was a cool ability. Now the only thing Kagome can purify with her hands is Shikon jewel shards. sweatdrop | ♥

I find it strange how only Kagome can do that, especially without the shikon jewel no one else on the team can xp

No, I don't think so, she has enough powers already

♥ | It's her powers as a priestess. That's why she can sense the Shikon Jewel...and also purify it. That's why the team needs her. xd

I agree; although, Kagome only did most of her maturing after the end of the anime. I think the fact that the anime ended short made people feel somewhat dissatisfied with her abilities, but by the end of the manga it was fairly clear she didn't need any other powers. | ♥
