Ok. I like polls, I'm bored.

So out of these members of the main cast, who do you think is most likely to be killed off first, if at all? (Yay ratings stunts)
And why?

Also, be sure not to accidently turn this into a least favorite character poll

...and heres my second question, how the heck to I fix my poll? *laughs at herself*

Now that we've firmly established my poll illiteracy..I'm trying this again.

So out of these members of the main cast, who do you think is most likely to be killed off first, if at all? (Yay ratings stunts)
And why?

Also, be sure not to accidently turn this into a least favorite character poll

*prays that this works*

Yes i voted for inuyasha...
I figure that he would be the first to die for one reason...He would die protecting everone else before he let any of them die.Excpt Sesshomaru who i dont think would let himself die.(now wouldnt that be a sad ending...inuyahsa takes naraku and himself out protecting every one)
And yay for Deedala who got her poll working

ROfl, thank you MISTER Cyberhunter

Well, I voted Sango. I can see her death not effecting the plot too harshly. It would also be interesting to see exactly how Miroku would react. Think he would swear off women in rememberance? *grin*

Yeah i think he might swear off women...atleast untill he gets the the next town with an attractive one But seriously i do think he would be depressed for quite awile...

I bet Sesshomaru dies before any of those guys. Naraku mortally wounds Sessho, and then Sessho, with his last dying breath, tells Inuyasha that he finally understands why Inuyasha and their father loved humans. Either that, or Sessho tells Inuyasha that hanyous will always stink like rotten eggs.

Either way, after Sessho dies, Rin will become so overcome by grief, she turns Super-Saiyan 3 and kills Naraku with the biggest Kamehameha ever seen. Ah yes, that would interesting.

Hehe, maybe Miroku would start groping women in rememberance instead of swearing them off. I certainly hope he wouldnt be low enough to try and play the sympathy card to get womens attention, though. *ponder*
Also, what do you think Kirara would do? Think she would stay with the IY gang?



I would definitly pay to see that.

Sango goes first and Miroku who already dances along the line between good and evil goes all the way over in his quest for revenge against her killer.

I would vote for Jaken by heart beat, but since he's not one of the choices...
I would say...
/me casts a vote

Yes!! Finally somebody agrees with me. Sesshoumaru is not one of the MAIN main characters *hides from incoming "Fluffy" fans diving towards me with, erm, weapons* and his death could liven things up a bit (get it? liven things up? hahaha, haha, ha. herm.)

And btw where is Kikyo on that list? I would write a whole ESSAY about the reason why Kikyo should be the first to die (no one provoke me, (disagree with me) I might get violent *takes out her huge sword threateningly* just joking. (but seriously people don't provoke me))

I'll reject the idea of Kikyo dying first : That's not fair. She's already dead.
But.
If the question reads "Who would cease to exist first", then she would be a valid choice. (And I would seriously consider her as the prime candidate.)

ROFL ok fine who would cease to exist first. maybe I should start a new poll... with fresh new candidates... and KIKYO as one of them? hm...

Well she is alive in a way. I mean, her mind is not really still alive (and neither is her love or anything like that) but her powers are still alive and her body is still alive. Well anyway I don't want to argue. I agree with you.

You know what, I had her down as a choice, then thought to myself, "Nah, people will get all huffy and tell me she's already dead."

*giggle* Not that you got huffy or anything, I just thought that was funny.

I voted for.. *deep breath* ... SANGO!!
That's right people! Mwohahahahahaha!
I dun like her, and she is awfully boring!
The next one to go would be... I dunno.
I just hope Sango dies first...
she isn't that important to the story,
it's just the thing with Kohaku and yadda yadda.

im provoking you. i dont think kikyou will ''cease to exist'' at all, even though shes almost ''cease to exist''ed a couple times already...

*provoke*

essay time

It's interesting -- each person has an important contribution to the story line. Inu yasha, of course is one of the main characters-- Kagome is THE main character, so of course she'll survive. Miroku has this whole vengence thing that'll probably keep him going for a while. Sango has her brother. Kikyo represents Inu Yasha's past -- if one of them's going to go, it'll be her or Kirara. Each person has a reason for existing, so to blow them out of the story line 'before it ends' would cripple the entire story.

of course, I think Miroku will disappear before Sango-- maybe him and Inuyasha both get killed, who knows.

actually, why isnt kaede on that list? she was kind of a main character, in the first few episodes? plus shes really old. she could of easily died of natural causes or something.....

But we havn't found out about her eye yet!
I wanna know what happened to her in the past!
I think she has an important part to the story,
and maybe she's the only one able to remove the rosary...?
I know pple say Kagome should do it,
but are you so sure that she even can do it?
(yes, I am fully aware of the miko thing...)

kaede had the patch during the fight when inuyasha got sealed right? i always thought that injury was a result of him attacking the village, it looked like the bandage was fresh during that flashback. maybe i just have to much time on my hands.

That would make sense as she didn't have the bandage earlier in an episode talking about Niroku (or however it's spelled) when he was human. She went to Kikyo and told her what the man had said-- she didn't have the bandage then.

Sesshoumaru cause in the movie Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru fight perhaps to the death. Sides, no ones gonna die in this series.

the only way Sesshoumaru would die in the movie is if it were the END of the series. otherwise, i seriously doubt anyone'll die as the series wouldn't have a 'switching over' point to which sess is dead.

Because I only put down some of the main characters. I wanted to see people picking between characters that we mostly all know and love. I dont see very many Kaede shrines.

I voted for seshomarusama, i find awkard he didnt die yet, he's the stereotype of the "bad" guy who will die doing a good act (saving his brother almost certantly)

i chose sesshomaru basicly for same reason as Sang0 stated.

anouther thought that crossed my mind though is that since sesshomaru can bring ppl back from the dead. they could kill off one of the Main characters and then later have sesshomaru bring them back.

so anyone of the main characters could die FIRST and then later be brought back without hurting the plotline at all.

would make hell of a 2 part episode

I agree that kaede is a character that could die off but it wouldn't adversely affect the story. She hasn't contributed much lately, as far as I can tell at least.



LIKE MY OPINION MATTERS ANYWAY, RIGHT?

I picked kagome, dont get me wrong i dont think that she will ever die but i would really like it if she did.

Actually id like it if everyone on the show except Sesshoumaru and Miroku died.

Sesshoumaru cause hes one of the best anime characters ever and miroku cause he grabs chicks asses on the daily.

What if he grabs Sesshoumaru-sama's ass?
Don't know if I favour the two of them...
and Miroku is bound to do it,
since Sesshoumaru-sama does look like a girl...
The closest he can get to Sango, I think.^^

Btw, Banko, yer such a fan boy. ^_~ *lol*

Personally ive just gotten tired of IY and Kagome never getting it on, there is no relationship in the universe that would go that long when you are together all the time like that and that they wouldnt even have kissed yet.

I want both of them to die just for being so lame.

In case you hadnt noticed im not interested in much except characters who look very badass and have incredible power compared to the others in there respective series.

The love story shit is just secondary BS to me, its something that you just know is going to happen but never does which i find lame but oh well.

I guess you havn't read Ranma½ then...
But, come on, this is the best thing of all!
That they havn't kissed! I think it's really fun!
That's why I hate shoujo... 'cus they allways get it on.
I like when Rumiko stretches the relationship of her series...
even though she could have done something more on Ranma½.
But I still liked the ending of Ranma½... got nothin' against it.
I think Inuyasha and Kagome will reaveal their love in the end,
because otherwise I personally strangle Takahashi-sensei (j/k). ^^

Yeah I agree Patri-oil Kagome and Inuyasha have GOT to get some sort of 'I love you' thing going.. otherwise i'll feel the ENTIRE series was a complete WASTE!

"Action Jesus" man why didnt I think of that name... genius, pure genius.
I think everyone hopes Kikyo dies (that whinny good for nothing..... )
But getting to the point I think it comes down to who is least integral to the story n that is Sango.

I would have gone with "Tai Kwan Do Jesus".

Woohoo! Another one who wants Sango to go... kinda.
I actually like Kikyou, and I'd like to have here around.
She's really important (especially further on in the story),
but Sango is really pointless. I even find Kohaku more fun.

i voted for Kagome
dunno why

*chokes* ack ack ack!!! Ok wowowowowow *shrieks and goes insane* She died once already she is supposed to be dead (or non existant anymore) already why can't they just get it over with it is her TIME people let's face it Kikyo isn't useful at all she only gets in the way of Inuyashas relationship w/Kagome Kikyo should die right now now now now now now now now (I correct myself- cease to exist right now now now now now now now now) then what will happen with Inuyasha and Kagome? the series can't end if Kikyo is still alive because if Kikyo is still alive then Inuyasha can't be with Kagome and if inuyasha can't be with Kagome then there will be no satisfying ending and of course Rumiko Takahashi won't put me through that toooorture there will be a satisfying ending with Inuyasha and Kagome and Kikyo won't have any part in it she will cease cease cease cease cease to exist now now now so what if she "ceased to exist" a couple times already one more time is fine as long as it is nice and dramatic like the ending I proposed where Inuyasha is forced to choose between Kagome and Kikyo and he picks Kagome (see my other post for reasoning etc.) that will be fine. *gasps for air* wow what a run-on sentence. Allow me to continue. Kikyo is evil and should not even still exist why is Rumiko Takahashi doing this is it because then the series can be longer because it can't end when Kikyo is still alive allowing for optimal plot-twisting... etc.? hm.

You are reeeeally asking for it.... *grumbles* Don't give any hints about further in the story... I, personally, want to wait and see what happens. Wait, no I don't. lol. Sango isn't pointless! She is keeping Miroku from constantly groping women (lol) and she has Kirara (who is the COOLEST minor character EVER and does NOT get enough credit at ALL) and she has Hiraikotsu, and she can be part of some excellent plot twists with Kohaku later on. So there. And STOP WITH THE KIKYO LIKING !!! ACK!!! AH!!!! *calms down, relaxes, maybe*

I think Kikyou is really important.
She lets us see Inuyasha's feelings,
and I can't wait until he finally gets over her.
He is bound to get over her, I just know it!

Without Kikyou I would never have liked IY.
And I would probably not have watched the show.

I loved episode 14 and 15 when she came back.
I was so confused over IY and Kikyou's points of view,
and that really made me wanna watch it even more.
"It was a... one-sided love!" - that cracked me up

She may get in the way of Inuyasha and Kagome,
but that only gives IY time to get over Kikyou.
That's what I think. It's really a good thing... ^^

I'm probably just going yadda yadda right now,
but I think Kikyou fills more purpose than Sango.
Sango got her whole family killed, that was sad,
and her brother has been caught in Naraku's claws.
But I still don't find it very interesting...
Sango will probably get Kohaku back in the end,
but IY will never get back Kikyou. That's also sad.
But then he will probably realize that he has Kagome,
which he should have done a looong time ago. ^_~

From that list, I'd pick Sango. She's a grimmer character than the other guys (I simply refuse to believe that Seshoumaru could die ), with less to lose. She could very well die for Kohaku. Not that I expect that to happen though, but she IS the most likely one. Kikyo however the most likely to die (again if you will), she's the only major character who I really expect to die. She still has some of Kagome's soul after all.

*rebuttles with a few *short* sentences*

what if kikyo is there to not allow the series to end? what if it turns into Inu Yasha Z and Inu Yasha GT? maybe shes the sole reason a sequel could be made possible?



edit: i was promised an essay too.....thats just a paragraph. i feel let down.

i dont think IY is anywhere near as good as Dragonball, and at this point its definetly not deserving of a sequel series.

DB and DBZ have problems with huge villains that lead to epic battles where the guy gets defeated and then another problem arises.

IY has had the same problem for 114 episodes that we have seen so far and it will continue to be the same one until at least 150 episodes considering the manga.

Even the buu saga was only like 80 episodes, the same villain over and over and over never being defeated is lame if you ask me.

Naraku has worn out his welcome in my eyes.

ok, so patrioil gave me my essay.

as for the first to die, im going to have to go with kikyou will be the first to die, or "cease to exist". i believe shes rather useless, and only serves as a reason to piss off kagome in the end. well, also she tends to start dying whenever a big battle happens now.

i only disagreed with kagome-sama (forum user, not character of the show) because it was 3am, and i was bored.

Roooofl! You know what, I agree with you on that one. I hate Kikyo.

*flees for her life from the kikyo lovers*

Ok, also...uhm..Shippo is by far the winner in this poll so far...and yet no one has said a thing about why he would die first. *peers around*

You know, I was just thinking the same thing. I did vote that Shippou would die first just because Kikyo wasn't on there. Yeah yeah, technically she can't die, so I'll borrow "cease to exist" from the Monty Python skit where John Cleese brings in the dead parrot to Eric Idle ( I think it's Eric Idle) Shippou just isn't essential to the story line really. He's pretty much Kagome's toy and one of the major cute factors of the show, but that's about all he does. He deals with the fact that he's not as strong as his friends and other than that, Shippou doesn't have a purpose really. Unless of course I am missing something. I would hate to see Shippou die because he is such a cute little guy, but he wouldn't funk up the plot as much as say Inu Yasha or Kagome.

Shiori, you just said why Shippo won't die: He's cute, and a comedy relief character. I doubt very much Rumiko would kill him of. Yuu Watase would (and does, now THAT was a surpirse), but I really don't think he'll die, no matter how useless he is. Seshoumaru and Kikyo might (I really don't hope the first will die, and as for the latter... GOOD RIDANCE) but Shippo won't (though I wouldn't entirely dislike it)

I figure that they cant kill Sesshoumaru untill atleast movie 3 comes out...
so untill then he's pretty safe.But as for Shippo.. dont think that they would kill him either....hes just to damn cute.

I never said I thought Shippou would die, but out of the choices I had to pick someone...and I am assuming other people feel the same way because 8 other people voted for Shippou and there has to be some reason for it. I was just the first to speak out as why I voted for him.

i dont think takahashi-sama would get rid of shippou. like others have said hes a comic relief character... usually they dont die. plus hes just a little kid. unless naraku kills him just to piss everyone off. I dont think sango will die either, miroku will somehow save her life. and what are the odds of kagome dying? whenever she just screams or something the yasha gang especially inu comes running to her rescue. sesshoumaru might die doing a god deed, i can picture that. But, sesshoumaru can't die. hes invincible. if hes ever in a near death situation hell either transform or have his tensaiga save him. Miroku has a chance of dying, most likely being consumed by the kazaana ( wind tunnel) saving people. but the thought of miroku dying just doesnt seem right. but i have to choose kikyou. you DID die first out of everyone. she died even pretty much before the series. and kaede is next in line. but if it had to be anyone on the list it would be sesshoumaru

I don't think anyone on that list stands a real chance of actually dying, but it's still a good poll.

Out of everyone here, I picked Miroku because I could see Takahashi having the kazaana actually suck him up just because it's the last thing anyone would expect. The shock value would be huge. And it would really intensify the storyline if one of the main good guys actually did die. Then there's the fact that it's plausible, because since the kazaana got ripped wider in episode 28, we really don't know how much time he has left anyway. And lastly, Miroku's an important enough character that his death would impact the series, yet he's not so essential that the plot wouldn't work without him for the last few episodes (and it would definitely happen only toward the very end of the series).

Besides, since I'm betting Inuyasha will stay a hanyou in the end and not wish to be turned human or youkai (a big theme of the show is his learning to accept both halves of himself, after all), they could always use the Shikon jewel to wish the monk back. So everybody's happy. (And incidentally, if anyone else on the poll died, I'm betting Tenseiga would come into play somehow...)

*LOL* I don't know exactly why,
but that gave me mental pics which sent me back laughing on the floor.
Oh my gods "because that's the least thing ppl would expect",
I can also see Takahashi with an evil grin on her face, drawing. ^^
*still laughing a lot, the post whore got the giggles, I say*

btw, welcome back, Spect.
Noticed I'm the Post whore?

Thanks for the welcome back. LOL, yes, I have noticed that. I think you've posted at least 200 times more since the last time I was here! Just how do you manage to post so much anyway? Got any good tips for those with smaller post counts?



Heh, now I've got the same image in my head, and it's pretty damn funny.
