Kohaku didn't kill anyone of his own free will. He was there, and he knew what was happening, but he had no control and couldn't break free. When he was used to kill the demon slayers, his body was being moved by the demon spider webs. Later, his body and mind were commanded at Naraku's whim through the power of the tainted jewel shard. When the shard was purified and he regained full control of himself, he didn't kill any innocents.   See 15 other replies

Does Kohaku deserve to pay for his crimes like she does? He murdered more than a few innocent people.   See 15 other replies

I don't think it's fair of you to say that of Kagura. She was a spawn of a manifestation of pure evil, meaning that when she was born, evil was all she knew and understood. She wasn't given the chance to be pure or to know good when she was made. She was also born a slave, meaning just about everything she did was an order from her master. Can you blame a slave for something he or she can't help, especially knowing his or her master could kill that slave on a passing whim?Kagura wished only to be liberated and have a life of her own. That's not a bad wish. However, her early methods of attaining her goal weren't ethical, because again, evil was all she knew. She learned compassion while observing InuYasha, Kagome and the group, and spending time with Kohaku., meaning her heart began to change over time as she saw goodness. It reminds me of Piccolo's metamorphosis in character in DBZ.Yes, she was a murderer and abomination, but those are things she couldn't help. If you teach a child his entire life that crime and murder are as natural as food and breathing, you'll breed a serial killer that can't see the wrong in taking life. Imagine not bearing a child and raising it that way, but creating a fully mature adult and planting all the malice and evil you want in it at the outset. And even if that creation gains a will of it's own, it has no choice but to obey you through fear of excruciating punishment and/or death. That's Kagura.   See 15 other replies
