~ NARAKU ~
Name
: Naraku (literally means "Hell"), Onigumo (a kind of "Devil
Spider"?)
Nicknames : Naraku (by most people), Naraku-sama
(by Kohaku and his fellows)
Age : Unknown
Features : This guy is quite mysterious. He often
seen dressed in a baboon fur and as a human in the other time. There's a kind
of burn scar of a spider on his back. When he appeared as a noble named
Hitomi Kagewaki, he wears in kimono and have a long curly black hair.
No one ever known his true look because he can disguise into anyone he wants.
Forte : Naraku have many fortes, he can transform
into anything, but he's not a true fighter indeed. He have many companions
who were controlled by the Shikon no Kakera he planted on them.
There's only two words to describe this guy, SLY BASTARD. Yes, he is a son of a b*tch! He abuses the others to achieve his own goals. Name some of his victims were Inuyasha, Kikyou, Miroku, Sesshoumaru, Sango, Kohaku, and Kouga. Here I enlisted the reasons why Inuyasha and the party hate him to the bones:
Inuyasha
: It is obvious that Naraku was the one who destroyed Inuyasha and Kikyou's
relationship. He disguised as Inuyasha and ended Kikyou's life. Somehow Inuyasha
haven't yet realize it til Kikyou was resurrected, so he swore that he will
be the one who end up Naraku's life for Kikyou.
Kikyou : Um... Kikyou also was well-tricked by Naraku. She thought
that it was Inuyasha who betrayed and killed her, so she carried her grudge
to her death. Although she helps Naraku but she said that once the Shikon
no Tama is reunited, she will send him to hell.
Miroku : The Air Rip on his right hand was Naraku's curse that was
heritated from generation to generation. Miroku knew that the only way to
get rid off it was by killing Naraku himself.
Sesshoumaru : Naraku knew that Sesshoumaru is really urge to have Tetsusaiga
but he couldn't hand it because he's a youkai. So Naraku gave him a human
hand with a Shikon no Kakera in it to replace his left hand. But later on,
that hand almost ate him. When he finally got Toukijin, he's no longer care
about Tetsusaiga nor Inuyasha.
Sango : This brave girl really really hates Naraku as well because
he uses her lil bro, Kohaku, as one of his fellows. More than that,
he was the one who killed her father and all the inhabitants in her village.
Kouga : He was also tricked by Naraku, Kouga thought that Inuyasha
killed his wolves youkai in the south and fought for avenge, but soon he knew
it was just another Naraku's cunning plan.
In his former life, Naraku was a human named Onigumo. Kikyou found him bloody wounded and unable to move. So by her kindness she took care of him in a cave. But Onigumo had a hidden passion to own her, and couldn't stand for his uselessness he called many evil spirits to eat his soul and then Naraku was born. He became so furious when he knew that Kikyou fell in love with a hanyou, Inuyasha. Furthermore, Kikyou planned to use Shikon no Tama to turn Inuyasha into a human so that they could live together. Then he made them two betraying each other, sent Kikyou to death and sealed Inuyasha eternally.
As the best
villain, of course he have many fortes such as:
Shouki : or evil poisonous air. It manifests into many forms, could
be his own hair, or a miasma.
Kugutsu : Naraku's fellows which made of clay to be used in distant
battle.
Saimyoushou : a horde of bee-like creatures, the ones Miroku fear most
since if it get sucked in his Kazaana will cause him poisoned. This bugs works
as spies for Naraku.
