In the new era, keep the heart of the sword

The turmoil at the end of the Tokugawa period, the Meiji Restoration, the change of the old and the new, and the changing times. A new era has arrived. (Here BGM Shengsheng Liuku~New Era へ~---Sato Naoki!!)

Whenever the sword is drawn to kill people, the color tone is cool.
The executioner, Pulling Dao Zhai, was ordered to fall by the sect and lurked in Kyoto, killing a group of people.

Pulling the sword to take the reverse-edged sword, the beginning of this paragraph, the tone is warm.
Drawing a knife house appeared in a small boat, following the river, looking at people living and working in peace and contentment, smiling

The two scars on Jian Xin's face are also the good and evil he has done, and they exist on the opposite side of the body.




one. After the arrival of the new era, what path did the samurai take?
Become a policeman, do good, and participate in the administration of the times.
Picking up the sword of killing that was abandoned by the Sword of Swords, he did many evils, and with hatred as an executioner, he became evil.
Become a wanderer, a swordsman who travels the world, with a reverse-edged sword and a living sword, and promises not to kill.
Become a subordinate of the vassal power rich, because there is nowhere to make a living, if you have milk, you are a mother.


two. After the arrival of the new era, what path did others take?
The daughter of a samurai, she affirms justice for her deceased father and the school, maintains her reputation, takes goodness as the foundation, and promotes the sword of the living.
The daughter of a doctor, she struggles with good and evil to survive.
Those in power, committed to the great cause of reform.
With bad thoughts in his heart, he invaded the world with opium, and started anew, "snatch money from the beasts addicted to opium and create a regime."


three. Good and evil are not clearly demarcated, black and white are intertwined with good and evil.
Kenshin has gone from good to evil. When the new era changes, he chooses to be the hired executioner to kill those who hinder the progress of the era.
"Can you serve me as an assassin for the new era?" "Executioner? It's all for completing

the great cause of reform!" I thought it was right to kill, but when Jianxin killed the opponent, the man was obsessed with his lover He didn't die for a long time, leaving a scar on Jianxin's face. When he saw a woman lying on the man's body and weeping, Jianxin began to doubt whether the murder was right or wrong. Maybe it was right in the times, but it was definitely in the individual. Incorrect.

The scars under the man's desire to survive are not only on the face, but also on the heart, which has never healed. Kenshin has also been holding a sobbing look.


Four. A new era has arrived, and everything goes and stays.
There is political class, social identity, self-belief.
In the changing times of the new era, a variety of people have a variety of values ​​and a variety of choices. Each samurai chooses a different path, but all should be good is the main path of the new era.
The finishing touch of the ending is that both warriors and good deeds have taken two different paths, the police and the wanderers.

Jian Xin is willing to be the "hypocritical justice, the high-sounding words, the escape route for the weak" in the mouth of the police, and is willing to be a wanderer, a talented person and a beautiful woman, under the hedge of melon fields.
Or maybe it's a hint that it's not finished yet...


Five. When it comes to fighting, my favorite is Kenshin and the white-haired and blackened Ayano Go, who fights with a steel cable pistol and sword.


six. Some plot flaws:
For emotional scenes, indifference... can't feel it at all.
There are many unreasonable fights. For example, they thought they were fighting back to back when facing the crowd, but they ran away alone without being stabbed in the back. The two boxing champions fight crazy and don't know who to show them to. They can eat at halftime, and then start the fight again... When Kenshin and the boxing champion went to see the villain who was shooting with artillery fire, the police suddenly calmed down. Picked out from the ground, the two actually surrendered and walked out, and they would do a backflip inexplicably on the spot...and they would fly...
especially at the end of the girl's mind to control human life, God, it's a miracle! ! ! !
How did the villain die? Jian Xin said that he would not kill people, what should I do? As a result, the villain committed suicide... The
girl was crying and crying, saying a lot of nonsense (can't help but fast forward...)

    The Japanese's bloody feelings should still engage in animation. . .

    I haven't read the original book, but only the illustrations. Well, the sense of substitution is low. I just think that Jianxin's small body is indeed dexterous enough to perform swordsmanship...
