Onigumo - Tumblr Posts

What do you think of the idea that Naraku can't be happy because even he can't love himself? Think about all the times, he's tried to get rid of his Onigumo side, how even as Onigumo he called his soul rancid and was shocked it had value, or how even his own creation made from his own heart hated him?

Thank you for asking me. It's such a hard question for me and I hope that you can understand what I mean since I'm not a fluently English speaker. Honestly, I admit that although Naraku is one of my favorite characters, I can't totally understand him (Who can understand him when even he cannot? =.=). The relationship between him and his heart can be seen as a battle between his purpose (?) and his sentiment (?): his purpose is improving his power since his sentiment is wanting to have Kikyo's love. Both of them really oppose each other, so it's quite easy to see the reason why Naraku and Muso/Akago/Hakudoshi hate each other that much (I'm not sure about Akago and Hakudoshi since they have not shown any emotion for Kikyo like Muso, anyway, three of them want to kill Naraku). I believe that Naraku can be happy if he solves the opposition soon by accepting his true feelings. Onigumo was the reason why Naraku appeared, Onigumo's heart became an important part of him so he cannot get rid of his heart. Instead of having a headache to find how to throw it away, he can confess his true feelings to Kikyo but well, if it came true, there might not more chapters for us to read lol
