This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Sango. Sit back, relax, and understand why I firmly believe that Sango is not all that because of how overpraised and overrated she truly is. I can hear and see the steam coming out of many Sango fans’ ears and heads right now when I say that Sango is one of the most overrated characters in Inuyasha next to Kagome. I can also hear a great number of people coming at me stating that I am being a misogynist for hating on somebody like her just like what they threw at me when I expressed my extreme hatred against Kagome. Heck, I can even hear retards thinking that I hate Sango because I want Miroku to myself, which is complete bollocks because I bloody hate Miroku too. Nevertheless, I am standing my ground and defending myself when I state that Sango is not all that great. Despite her strength as a combatant, despite her surface-level fierceness, and despite the promise she had as her own fighter, she ended up being nothing more than wasted potential. Sure, she is physically strong and demonstrated her skills in the earlier parts of the series; however, with every journey she and her companions endured, she seemed to become a lot more reliant on Inuyasha to comply with her, Miroku, Kagome, and Shippou, thus making her lame and pathetic. Sango’s skills as a demon slayer may have shown promise, given her epic team-ups with Inuyasha when battling monsters and demons, but the fact that she ends up kidnapped, poisoned, and subdued by demons and bandits alike makes her weak and physically lame. Worse is that she and her fellow losers Miroku, Kagome, and Shippou are nothing more than useless, thus making Inuyasha the de facto savior of their pathetic asses. I know I am still reeling from the horribly bitter aftertaste of Episode 100 because of how Sango participated in Miroku’s, Kagome’s, and Shippou’s smugness toward Inuyasha who, may I remind you, had to fight tooth and nail just to try to get them out of Garamaru’s cocoons. Instead of showing compassion and unconditional companionship as she supposedly promised in Episode 52, she just became nothing more than a member of the hypocritical ingrate brigade. Perhaps if she stood up for herself a lot more, stood up to Kagome more often, and was not a member of Kagome’s posse, she would have been a stronger person and not bought the whole girls stick together excuse. People can praise Sango for being physically strong and a formidable fighter, but how she behaved in the later episodes as well as after her debut appearance demonstrated how weak she truly was. Whether she remained as one of Kagome’s knee-crawling posse or constantly fell into Naraku’s machinations among other villain-of-the-week machinations, she showed how much she could not think for herself and understand that what Kagome was doing to Inuyasha, as in abusing the Beads of Subjugation on him out of her inane jealousy toward Kikyou as well as keeping him in line, was wrong and hurtful. Take away Sango’s combat prowess and she is nothing more than a sheep and a pathetic yes woman to Kagome at best and an easily manipulated dumbass in distress at worst. If it were not for Sango’s abilities as a demon slayer, she would have been nothing more than a pathetic weakling which she truly is. There is nothing worth rooting for Sango. Even if she were to demonstrate her boomerang skills and overall combat skills, she ended up as nothing more than a miserable excuse for a loser. When I was a young boy between 11 and 14 years old, I used to like Sango because of how strong and tough she was. Nowadays, as a 30-year-old content creator and full-time Master’s student, I find her pitiful because she defines wasted potential. Sango’s inability to think for herself and failure to stand up for herself to compliment her physical prowess make her a pitiful excuse of a demon slayer, a terrible companion to Inuyasha, and one of Kagome’s subhuman humanoids. Nothing about Sango is worth rooting for anymore because her flashy moves with her boomerang and weapons at her disposal are absolutely futile, especially when they are wielded by a pathetic loser. The one fate I would have loved for this pathetic loser and yes woman to have faced is to have her executed in the most brutal fashion possible. I think her ending up stabbed to death by assassins and chopped up to smithereens by warlords would be a fitting punishment for her. Therefore, I used to want her to rise above the obstacles. Now, I just want her thrashed, battered, and eventually die and burn at the stake. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, Happy Holidays, and do not be a pathetic weakling, everybody. The Pathetic, Two-Bit, and Stupid Floozy from Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.

Over-hated by Power Rangers fans because of its sugary sweet syrupiness and tendency to stray from continuity, what did I think of Alpha’s Magical Christmas? Find out more in my somewhat defense of this direct-to-video holiday special.
I would have liked this Power Rangers holiday episode a lot more if there were more action, thrills, excitement, and tension, not having Debbie Ex Machina wrapping things up with a cornily ham-fisted ditty!
This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Sango. Sit back, relax, and indulge yourselves in the shame Sango has thrown herself in. Oh, Sango. Sometimes I have to keep asking myself, how can a female demon slayer so formidable as she is be so stupid and indubitably pitiful? The answer lies in how ashamed she should be for being complicit in her maltreatment towards Inuyasha, her horrid actions after her introduction, being nothing more than Kagome’s humanoid robots, and generally being nothing but talk while not walking the walk as a strong warrior. For somebody who is supposed to be physically strong, it is amazing how useless Sango becomes against a much stronger foe. A case in point would be Garamaru who trapped her, Kagome, Miroku, and Shippou in his cocoons, thus causing Inuyasha to fight tooth and nail to try to get them out of there. She may be human, but she was supposed to be the strong woman of the group. It just shows that she never had compassion toward Inuyasha and saw him as a pathetic simpleton. Sango needs to have a taste of her own shameful medicine because that is what she should be adorned with for all the harm she has done and all the rubbish that she was complicit in. Sango has proven herself to be the biggest conundrum I have ever seen because of how she may be physically strong, but she is thoroughly pathetic when it comes to being critical of who she thinks she is following. We are looking at a supposed warrior who may demonstrate physical prowess in the heat of battle. However, when it comes to using common sense, thinking for herself, and assessing the situation people less fortunate than she is are in, she fails on all of those accounts. She presents herself as this loving older sister to Kohaku when she should have learned that he was not psychologically prepared to be inducted in this field and keeps hating herself for losing him to Naraku’s machinations. She even presents herself as one of Inuyasha’s staunchest friends when she has done absolutely nothing to understand his point of view let alone accept him as her equal. Instead, she is nothing more than a pathetic hypocrite who truly does not understand Inuyasha as an individual, does a terrible job at being an understanding older sister, and is just a self-hating wench who is inferior to Inuyasha as a warrior. To add further to her shamefulness is how she still sticks by Miroku despite his atrocious actions towards other women especially towards Koharu in Episode 41. If you were not aware of what he did to Koharu in that episode, he asked her to bear his child when she came of age. Mind you, the douchebag was 15 years old, and Koharu was all but 11 years old. Yes, Sango was justifiably pissed with him, but she should have dumped his pathetic ass. Instead, she continued to stick by him because of reasons that are beyond my understanding let alone control. Perhaps the only reason why she remained with him is because she too is nothing but one of Kagome’s knee-crawling posse like her husband and surrogate son Shippou. Despite Miroku groping Sango at inopportune moments and womanizing with every and any girl and/or woman, she could not end up moving on from him because the only thing they have in common aside from their hatred toward Naraku is how pathetic they are together, especially when it comes to constantly taking Kagome’s side and not understanding Inuyasha’s loneliness, guilt, plight, and/or pain. Sango has brought more shame than glory to her name both as a demon slayer and as a person. Her self-loathing over Kohaku’s initial passing and eventual brainwashing through Naraku make her a truly pathetic individual with no guts and no glory. While she may be a physically strong warrior, she is mentally and psychologically weak choosing to be nothing more than a sad follower of Kagome instead of thinking for herself, standing up to her, calling her out on her abusive actions toward Inuyasha, and realizing that Inuyasha was far more than meets the eye in terms of his loyalty and honesty. Even more shameful is her choice to end up with the perverted monk known as Miroku. Despite her knowing full well of his lascivious actions, she chooses to stay with him for reasons beyond my understanding. Perhaps, Miroku knows that Sango is the only woman he can have as his breeding mare, and look what happened. The fact that Sango would end up sacrificing her life for a crooked hypocrite and pervert demonstrates how truly pathetic she is. She may as well end up as a rotten corpse for all I care. I hope you enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and do not be a pathetic floozy like Sango, everybody.

Ah, after eleven months of being on YouTube hiatus, I am back. It’s time to revisit “I’m Dreaming of a White Ranger” and tackle the seven ways I would improve this entertaining yet underwhelming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Christmas episode.
This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Sango. Sit back, relax, and sit in for a spell, as I call out Sango’s foolishness as a pathetic sheep. Back when I first watched Inuyasha as an eleven-year-old tween until I fully watched it as a teenager, I did enjoy Sango and her brand of strength. However, as the years rolled by, and I began to watch Inuyasha more critically, I started to realize that Sango was nothing more than a pathetic loser who could use her head well, a lousy sheep who was one of Kagome’s knee-crawling posse, and a demeaning hypocrite who never saw Inuyasha as an individual but as a second to a third-class citizen. The way she carried herself into battle with her ginormous boomerang Hiraikotsu plus her weapons might have made her look cool and courageous, but she became even more useless as the series rolled on. She took Inuyasha’s strength and loyalty for granted, despite her knowing full well that he is part dog Yokai, and never considered his thoughts and feelings when it came to the similar situation he endured, specifically the loss of Kikyou. At the end of the day, Sango is another classic case of somebody who talks the talk but fails to walk the walk, as she had courage as a heroine but was nothing more than a pathetically brainless zero. Sango’s foolishness is legendary in the most negative way possible. From the beginning, she bought Naraku’s whole trick of framing Inuyasha for the murder of her clan hook, line, and sinker. Even after Inuyasha cleared his name from being framed by Naraku, Sango continued to not have any warmth for him as her comrade and as her platonic equal. Despite her going through the similar loss that Inuyasha endured, she never understood the special bond he and Kikyou shared when she was still alive and before he was pinned to the Sacred Tree by her arrows due to Naraku setting both of them up. All she did was immediately take Kagome’s side just like her stupid life partner Miroku and the crappy excuse of a Kitsune Shippou. So much for her stating that she wanted to stay by Inuyasha’s side during the aftermath of Episode 52. It is such a shame that Sango could not rise above her own mental incompetence, better herself as a good friend, and thoroughly understand Inuyasha’s point of view because her physical strength may have made her cool, but her lack of deeper compassion and common sense made her lame. Even more foolish is how Sango thinks she has every right to call out Miroku and his philandering ways but also believes that Inuyasha himself was a philanderer while he was not in any serious relationship with Kagome, to begin with. Sure, Inuyasha can visit Kikyou all he wants because he had major unfinished business with her as well as finding closure with her; yet, she along with Miroku, Shippou, and Kagome were still quick to scold him as if though he could not be his own person. What Sango has been doing is being the pot that calls the kettle black when she herself was not any more innocent than Miroku and Inuyasha combined. I do not mean stating that she had affairs with other men but pointing fingers without acknowledging her own shortcomings as a person. This also ties in nicely with how she is just as complicit in joining the Inuyasha is unfaithful to Kagome with Kikyou bandwagon all to make the prissy missy known as Kagome feel better about herself without thinking for herself and having Sango put herself in Inuyasha’s place to understand that the turmoil and loss he endured are similar to what she endured. To say Sango is a brainless fool is a mere understatement because she is not only a brainless fool who cannot think for herself but also a complete moron for not thoroughly understanding Inuyasha’s loss, as it was the similar experience she endured when she lost her father and her younger brother Kohaku before Naraku revived him as his zombie. It seems that she only got along with Inuyasha because he was a powerful warrior without understanding his inward need for compassion and companionship. Worst of all, she presents herself as a bigger hypocrite than Miroku, Kagome, and Shippou combined because, although she stated in Episode 52 that she wanted to stay by Inuyasha’s side no matter what happens to him, she is just as complicit in being nothing more than a fake friend who took advantage of Inuyasha’s strength and loyalty. What she is reduced to is nothing more than a member of Kagome’s army of skanks, which is a shame. Perhaps if she thought more for herself, she would not be relegated to be anything more than the sheep that she is. As Sango is, she is simply a pathetic zero with little brain. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and do not be a brainless sheep like Sango is everybody.
This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Shippou. Sit back, relax, and understand that Shippou has no excuse for being such an ungrateful individual as well as a pathetic excuse for a Kitsune. No matter how many times I say this, no matter how many times I have made this explicitly clear ad nauseam, and no matter how many times I have to state this, Shippou’s status as a tagalong kid let alone his age as a child never excused him from his atrocious behavior towards the people who discipline him and saved his useless, hypocritical, pathetic, smart-mouthing behind. Time and again, he has proven himself to be the most ungrateful, vindictive, mean, and condescending loser I have ever seen desecrate the small screen. For any shota fan or butthurt fantard going at me proclaiming that I am being too mean to him or being horrible to him, I do not buy the excuses you are popping from your behinds about this miserable excuse of a Kitsune. Shippou deserves all of my rage, ire, wrath, and hatred to the point where I would gladly incinerate him with kerosene, butane, and a lit match. That is just how atrocious he is as an individual. Every time I hear this turd open his mouth and spout out words of ingratitude and hypocrisy, I just want to douse him with kerosene and throw a lit candle at his useless carcass. I would have to be the most naive person in the world to show any empathy and pity for this horrible excuse of a Kitsune let alone tagalong kid character because I do not have a single ounce of kindness towards him. From the beginning, Shippou has presented himself as a weak fighter and big talker who is all bark and no bite. The whole excuse surrounding him being a child does not faze me, and it never will. There have been more capable child characters than Shippou who have proven themselves to be craftier, cleverer, tougher, and smarter than this loser. Ed from Cowboy Bebop, Maggie Simpson, Stewie Griffin, and Chibiusa would definitely trounce his worthless behind, destroy him, and turn him into a pelt for their pleasure. What is worse is that Shippou is a young Kitsune. Therefore, he would have been clever, resourceful, and crafty for his young age, but he is nothing more than a mouthy loser who likes to make Inuyasha feel small and worthless just because he is a half-demon and Shippou is a Kitsune, despite not being useful. No doubt that Shippou is just a pathetic little skid mark that needs to be wiped away forever. Once again, I need to bring up Shippou’s ingratitude because this is the benchmark of what always made him an unlikable turd unworthy of any redemption. The countless occasions where Inuyasha saved his and his poor excuses of comrades’ behinds should account for how much Shippou needs to be taught a hard lesson on gratitude. This pathetic little piece of fecal matter had the audacity to state to Inuyasha that he can brag all he wants about where he and the other three losers known as Miroku, Sango, and Kagome would have been without his strength and loyalty. Mind you, this was after Inuyasha rescued those four losers from Garamaru’s destructive cocoons by reminding them that they had something to live for and fought tooth and nail to try to get them out of there. After everything Inuyasha has done to keep him safe and well, despite the jabs he throws at him to toughen him up, Shippou continues to be a vindictive and mean little prick who does not know the first thing about gratitude. His characterization in Yashahime also failed because he was still the uncompassionate twerp he has always been. Fans of Shippou may cry foul at me for being too hard on him, but I will always stand my ground and argue that his behavior can never be excused either just because of his age or his status as the “team mascot” when he is actually nothing more than a filthy pest. He has never grown in charm let alone in strength, and there was not one moment where he reflected more on his actions and words in terms of who he has hurt or caused rifts with. He has caused far more strife than relief because of his ludicrous antics and complete lack of compassion and consideration toward others, especially toward Inuyasha. Therefore, I and many other people who do not like Shippou have every reason to call out his actions, thus placing them in the spotlight and ensuring that he has no place to hide from his overall crappiness. Shippou’s atrocities far precede him in terms of how he does not learn from his mistakes, is not worth redeeming, may as well be skinned and tanned, and is best used as a pelt, a carpet, and/or a floor rug for the holidays instead of the supposed Kitsune he was designated to be. I hope you all enjoyed my evisceration of this loser, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, Happy Holidays, and do not be pathetic like Shippou, everybody. The Lousy, Badmouthing, and Horrid Jackass from Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.
This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Shippou. Sit back, relax, and enjoy my evisceration of this pathetic excuse of a Kitsune and why I believe he gives fascinating creatures like Kitsune a terrible name. People who defend Shippou or are lenient towards him can perform the same song and dance with me about how he is just a child, he is just comic relief, and/or both all they want. However, I do not buy any of these excuses at all. I have seen funnier comic reliefs who are not insufferable little ingrates. I have seen more lovable kid characters who have a deeper sense of understanding and compassion. For today’s discourse, I have seen cooler, craftier, fiercer, and more formidable Kitsune than the pathetic, ungrateful, horrid, hateful little bastard known as Shippou. I will always argue that Shippou gives Kitsune a horrible name because he is not crafty in the slightest. Yes, he can change into different creatures, but he does it haphazardly to the point where Kirara and Hachiemon were more reliable than this little prick will ever be. He is just a pathetic bigmouth who had the potential to grow, but his powers were inconsequential at best and useless at worst. Therefore, he deserves only my pity for not reaching his full potential as a resourceful warrior and a reliable member of the team he was in. Coming from somebody who knows a fair amount of Japanese mythology, Kitsune are known to be crafty, cunning, wise, and rely mostly on a quick mind than mighty muscle when it comes to overcoming their foes. Shippou is the unfortunate opposite of what Kitsune is supposed to be because he is an unfunny coward without an inch of craftiness in his mind, body, and soul. Instead of growing in wisdom and cunning for his young age, he would rather be a snide loser whose bark is much worse than his bite as well as be coddled by three other losers in Miroku, Sango, and Kagome. Shippou is only effective with weaker opponents and does not even have the will to challenge himself let alone build up his own strength and skill. It really says something that a flea demon like Myoga, a blacksmith like Totosai, a Kappa like Jaken, and a Tanuki like Hachiemon are far more useful, cunning, and hilarious than Shippou will ever be. I never expect him to be as awesome as Yoko Kurama or as overly powerful as the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, but his lack of power and cunning make Shippou truly lame and weak against his opponents. Speaking of not being as great as Yoko Kurama or the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon because he lacks strength, stamina, stealth, and smarts, Shippou’s weakness as a fighter and as one of my favorite Japanese mythical beings ever extends to his lack of growth. The little he does learn throughout the course of the series ends up being all for naught. He does not grow more compassionate or more powerful or more conscientious as a warrior and as an individual. He continues to be an unreliable ally who does not acquire new skills to challenge himself, thus not making him helpful in taking down stronger demons including, the worst of them all, Naraku. The excuse of him being a child and a comic relief all fall flat on deaf ears because he should have used his skills to grow as a fighter, but he did not. It says something that even Justin Stewart from Power Rangers Turbo was more reliable to his older teammates/surrogate older brothers and sisters because he had sufficient smarts and moves to help his comrades and friends out of sticky and compromising situations. What remain of Shippou is his weakness and my pity. When the likes of Jaken, Myoga, Totosai, and Hachiemon are more useful than a hellion like Shippou, you know that something is indubitably wrong with this picture of supposed power from a Kitsune. The excuses of him being a tagalong kid and a comic relief are absolute bollocks because there have been kid characters who were far more reliable let alone stronger and cleverer than this turd will ever be such as Power Rangers Turbo’s Justin Stewart the Blue Turbo Power Ranger. Justin has proven himself to be resourceful, reliable, courageous, and understanding despite some mixed fan reception of him being a kid ending up as a Power Ranger, although the likes of Kou and Riki from Dairanger and Ohranger are also young children who take on ranger duties and do them well. I never bought Shippou’s minuscule contributions to his group/surrogate family because he lacks resourcefulness and courage. If he did grow into a more resourceful Kitsune, instead of the mouthy little loser that he is, perhaps I would root for him more. However, as he is, he is a pathetic loser worthy of the title of a skinned pelt than a Kitsune. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and never be useless like Shippou is, everybody. The Lousy, Badmouthing, and Horrid Jackass from Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.
This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Shippou. Sit back, relax, and understand why I take great issue with Shippou’s undying ingratitude, especially towards Inuyasha who, despite being rough on him, saved his life multiple times. People say that Shippou is annoying because he is a whiny tagalong kid who gets on the main hero’s nerves and is utterly useless in battle most of the time. While I can agree with those statements, the main issue I have always had with Shippou is his ingratitude. Not once did he thank Inuyasha for avenging his father’s death from Hiten and Manten. Not once did this little shit ever acknowledge how much loneliness Inuyasha had to endure throughout his life until he found Kikyou. Not once did he ever show any form of empathy let alone compassion, as he reveled in taking pot-shots on Inuyasha. Shippou was nothing more than an ungrateful, uncouth, horrid, bad-tempered scumbag who has none of my sympathies just because he was the tagalong kid. Once again, the excuse of him being a child will always fall deaf on my ears because there have been better child characters than Shippou who show more gratitude than this pathetic turd ever did. Therefore, in the words of Jack Albertson’s Grandpa Joe, Shippou is a crook, a cheat, a swindler, and an inhuman monster complicit in smashing Inuyasha’s need for companionship. Shippou’s ingratitude is cancer that permeates into something uglier than the human eye can see. The most egregious example of Shippou’s ingratitude towards Inuyasha was Episode 100 because of how nonchalantly he states that Inuyasha can feel free to brag about how he saved his useless behind, Miroku’s hypocrisy, Sango’s pathetic behind, and Kagome’s selfishness as well as pettiness. This is especially horrible for Shippou, considering that he and the other three losers were trapped in Garamaru’s cocoons, thus making Inuyasha fight tooth and nail to get them out of there. While inside Garamaru’s cocoons, the four losers were treated to their own traumatizing nightmares until Inuyasha reminded them that they had a lot more to live for. Instead of genuinely thanking Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou acted like nothing more than a gaggle of liars, hypocrites, mountebanks, and deceivers. Shippou’s line of letting Inuyasha “brag” when he was telling the gospel truth made him nothing more than a vindictive ingrate without any shame, humility, modesty, and compassion in his puny body. What correlates with Shippou’s ungratefulness, ingratitude, and general deficiency in showing any sliver of thankfulness is his pride which turns into pathetic cowardice. He thinks he is this great trickster and warrior, but he is all talk and no action. The little actions he has are poorly executed attacks and transformations that have become nothing more than jokes, and I do not mean that in a positive light. I understand that he is supposed to be the comic relief character, but I found nothing hilarious or charming about his vindictiveness and douchebag attitude toward Inuyasha or anybody who he thinks is beneath him. His very young age should never excuse him for such meanness let alone cruelty towards anybody he thinks is beneath him. Even when he thinks he is capable of fighting on his own, his true colors show that he is nothing but a coward with no guts and no glory. The many occasions where Inuyasha saves him may as well be all for naught because all Shippou has learned from Miroku, Sango, and Kagome is how to take advantage of Inuyasha’s strength and loyalty to make him look and sound like a fool. The more Shippou’s utter lack of gratitude becomes more pronounced, the more putrid he truly is as a character and as an individual. There is nothing to root for or to cheer for about how awfully he behaves, especially towards Inuyasha who has been saving his and his so-called companions’ behinds from danger while taking pot-shots at him. He has no right to state that Inuyasha can brag all he wants because it is true that he has been risking his life for their petulant selfishness, specifically when Shippou is the worst of the bunch, given his condescension and total lack of empathy towards anything Inuyasha had to endure. Shippou being the tagalong child does not excuse him for his awful behavior, and he should be punished accordingly. A light sentence would have Eikichi Onizuka from Great Teacher Onizuka give him a wedgie and spank him with a ruler to teach him some manners. As for a graver punishment, I would gladly permit the Psycho Rangers from Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy to hunt him down, exterminate him, mutilate him, and mount him as one of their trophies. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and do not be an ungrateful brat like Shippou is everybody.

This screenshot demotivational poster is highly, utterly, indubitably, and absolutely Anti-Shippou. Sit back, relax, and open your minds to understand why this pathetic turd is not only unlikeable but also reprehensible. I can definitely hear the people, most specifically the triggered Shippou fans and defenders, in the comments going “This guy hates Shippou waaaaahhhh!!!!!”, “Shippou is only a fictional character waaaahhhh!!!!!”, and my personal favorite “He’s a child-hater waaaaahhhhh!!!!!!” So, does that mean I have to empathize with him? No, because he is a despicable little turd with an equally horrible attitude. Furthermore, do not even give me that excuse that Shippou will grow out of his ways because from what the original show, The Final Act, and Yashahime have demonstrated, this despicable little turd never changed. What is worse is that Shippou has not once demonstrated any form of gratitude or respect towards Inuyasha who has saved him multiple times and has never understood how painful it was for him to lose Kikyou, who he swore to protect, despite her wanting him to be a full human for her. There were several occasions where Shippou deserved those punches to the head by Inuyasha because he could never respect his boundaries and chooses to be nothing more than a vindictively mean-spirited pain in the behind. I am aware that it is a challenge to write tagalong kid characters in terms of making them appealing, charming, and, of course, likable. I am also aware that it is a challenge to try to make tagalong kid characters far more useful than they are and can stand toe-to-toe with their older companions and surrogate family. However, Shippou is one example of what wasted potential and being painfully grating feel like. He barely takes responsibility for his words and actions and always expects to be coddled by Kagome, despite him being in the wrong nearly most of the time. It also does not help that his smug attitude and his bratty petulance come off as charmless and devoid of any lovability let alone compassion. There was not one moment where I felt sorry or bad for him because his actions and words reflect how much of an insufferably pathetic douchebag he is. Furthermore, his cowardice to try to fight in battle is off the charts. Every time he tries to fight, this little turd just runs away like the pathetic loser that he is all while being a pathetic smug bastard towards Inuyasha who is stronger than he will ever be. His unlikability also extends to him having a rotten personality. I know children are not at their most wonderful when they are young, but Shippou’s rotten and smug attitude shows how much needlessly cruel he is. For instance, he does not show concern for Inuyasha when he does all the work to work on his Tessaiga or when he has to fight tooth and nail to retrieve ingredients to cure Kagome from her cold. I also know that Inuyasha cannot stand it when Shippou bothers him or peeves him, but he had every right to make Shippou realize that there are some boundaries he should never cross. Even when Inuyasha was brutally honest about how Kagome approached him when she kissed him in Movie 2, Shippou still had the nerve to think that Inuyasha was not fully grown up, thus making me affirm that this turd-hole has no business in lecturing him when he himself is not mature either. Perhaps what is more depressing about Shippou is that his smugness as a full fox Yokai makes him think he is above Inuyasha being a dog Hanyo but is just all talk and barely action. To say that Shippou is unlikable is a mere understatement. He is a deplorable little shit stain who deserves none of my compassion and all of my wrath. His smugness towards Inuyasha is insufferable and has crossed the line one too many times to the point where he never learns his lesson. The excuse of him being a tagalong child is so overdone to the point where it is impossible to not only dislike him but feel disappointed in his lack of character growth let alone growing compassion. His smugness, smart mouth, and antics towards Inuyasha were never hilarious and served to only aggravate me and hope that this little crap-head ends up being thrown off a cliff just like what Heihachi Mishima did to Kazuya Mishima from Tekken. The catch is Shippou is stripped of his fox magic for abusing them and not being useful in battle, thus making him fully deserving of that great big drop down the cliff because that is the punishment he deserves. At the end of the day, Shippou is a loser who I will gladly eviscerate again and again. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and never be unlikable like Shippou is, everybody. The Lousy, Badmouthing, and Horrid Jackass from Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.
