Inu-Yasha Ok, I have a good question here...

Ok, yeah know how later in the season, Kikyo's grave was robbed of it's bones and other stuff I'd rather not mencion. How can they take the bones? By what I know, Kikyo had Keade burn his with the shikon to tama. Her bones were burned! There was probably nothing left but her ashes right?

 

Actually the were taking her ashes not bones!:anger2: thay cant take bones if she was burned.

 

??????

Yea, I know, on the ep it said that her grave was robbed of its bones. And I think I've heard it say that in the menga too.

 

I agree, but what if they just burned her flesh and skin not the bones since they don't spacificly say that Kikyo was burned all the way to her bones.

 

it didnt specify that the bones were burned...all it said was that "she" was burned...maybe they waited untill she was done cooking and took her bones and buried them before her bones burned to ashes.

 

hmmm. I would have to say that she didn't burn all the way down to her bones. So, when the fire went out, and some bones were left they buried them. there, simple.

 

ok, well I hust saw that episode, and they said ashes. I'm not sure though cause I saw the english dubbed, and I know they don't really tell it like it is.

 

????????

Yeah, I just saw it to. It did saw ashes. And she had the vase of ashes in her hand, so I guess that some people mess things up. Never Mind:shy3:

 

yea, the vase was a giveaway. Oh, well, I haven't read that manga yet so I'm not sure if the did this right.

 

hello!!!! :shy3:
what's up..?
i'm new to all this, in case u couldn't tell... ^.^

:catgirl:

 

Usally when ya burn a body, bones will be left behind.
P.S. I'm new here too:catgirl:

 

not all the time

 

well, I guess in kikyou's case the bone thing is true.
:shy3: sorry just felt like putting the little shy dude in there.:catgirl:

 

i heard ashes as well. But it's not impossible that there are some small bones in the urn/pot/vase/whatever u wanna call it.

 

Yeah. Generally, with cremation on a pyre in ancient times (rather than in a crematorium in modern times), the fire doesn't get hot enough to completely burn everything away. Usually, charred bones are left behind, but this is usually only parts of bigger bones. So even in a pot of Kikyo's ashes, there could probably be small charred bones. And watching the fansubs, I seem to recall someone mentioning ashes and bones. ::shrug:: I have to rewatch the series. ^_^

 

im quoting this directly from the manga.
" i have come for the ashes of her bones."
so the bones did burn to ash i guess. im not sure what it says in the anime i just have the manga.='(

 

Ah, whatever. ^_^ If it's ashes of her bones, it still counts as bones, right?

 

hmmm...guess it does^.^
