Ba obeyed Gui Xiaotaro's entrustment and became the scabbard of Jianxin, guarding Jianxin's gentleness and rationality, so that he would not become mad. But on the other side of the coin, Ba is also where Jianxin's sword peak is, and the belief in protecting Ba is the source of Jianxin's power.
"The Twelve Kingdoms" also appeared in the metaphor of the scabbard. Yoko said, "The heart does not need a scabbard." Under various predicaments, Yoko was also frustrated and hesitant, but she never escaped her true self, and her unconventional heart was free.
"Bai Meixiang is not seen in the world, and the living are alone with the cross wound." Jian Xin dressed Ba's corpse in plain clothes and said that he would continue to live with the pain and the cross scar on his back forever, while looking for a way of redemption. He had to do it, this was his life and karma after his second rebirth. In the film, this change of mood is handled very quickly. Before the death of Ba and Jian Xin's rebirth, the description of Jian Xin's self-denial, remorse, sinking, and recovery is omitted. Anyone who has experienced it knows how dark and long it is. Ha ha. The camera cuts directly to the tomb built by Kenshin for Paxin, and the fluttering belt, and the faint fragrance of white plum can be seen.
The stars and the moon are hazy, the blood and rain are bloody, and there are two impressive fighting scenes. One was that the Xinxuan Group was engaged in a sneak attack, and the Changzhou faction blew out the candles in the house. In the darkness, only the green light from Liu Ying reflected the cold sword shadow. The other is the swirling and blooming blood-colored petals that run through the entire piece, showing rigidity and softness, death and life, and violent aesthetics. Not sure if the safflower is the other side flower.
I have always been fond of the Japanese name "Ba", which originated from Bai Yeba in "Rose Girl". 'TO'MO'E. Pronunciation is very comfortable, demure like Nadeko. But whether it is Bai Yeba or Shedaba, they are actually strong women. I checked "Shuowen Jiezi" out of curiosity. The original meaning of the "ba" pictogram is "snake", which has the extended meaning of "expectation", and the others are the functions of some auxiliary words. So what does it mean in the name?
