Regarding Platycodon, the author wants to say something

I think Kikyo's heart is not as cold as it appears in the anime. Many signs show that Kagome is the way she really wants to live

If she was not born in the Warring States Period, but in the modern era, she would definitely have her own hobbies like Kagome (Kendo), classmates who like her (Hojo), and would be as energetic as a normal young girl, chatting about love with her best friend.

What I described is not the lonely witch who has been protecting the four souls jade for a long time and has accepted his own destiny, but the transition period of confusion and huge pressure.

At this stage, Kikyo has not completely lost her girlish heart, so she will have the emotional changes to the protagonist.

But I admit that the handling of that emotional scene was indeed poor and a bit stiff

But I don't think it's unreasonable

At that time, she had just obtained the Four Souls Jade, and she was at the time of the greatest pressure, and her mental problems were almost there. So when she met Jiang Yu's vent, she would vent all her emotions on him, causing her to feel dependent on him.

They don’t have a real emotional foundation now, they just recognize each other. Platycodon will experience some things and realize this point, turning this sense of dependence into true love
