The tragedy of the hero

After reading it, I was panicked.
The most uncomfortable thing was seeing Jianxin and Zhang duel. In order to save the children of Arai's family, Jianxin had a murderous heart. He hesitated for so long, struggled for so long, and finally broke his ring and killed Zhang. If it weren't for the inverted blade left, what would happen to Jianxin who murdered again? The Arai family will thank him, but for him, all the pain of killing will fall to him alone. I don't think he can continue to stay with other people. He will wander again and punish himself with loneliness and guilt.

But he has no choice, because he is the strong, because someone wants him to protect.

Just like when he was not drawing a sword fast.
When he went down the mountain, he wanted to use his power to rescue the people who were suffering in the troubled times, and to protect as many people as possible. Seijuro Hiko stopped him and said:

In order to change this troubled world, you can only join one of the forces. In other words, you will be used by power.
The sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is a murderous trick. No matter how beautiful an excuse is to cover up, it is always true.
However, bad guys are also human beings. What they do is just trying their best to live in this troubled world.
If you go down the mountain, what awaits you will be mutual killings driven by countless incompatible justice.
The power you possess will make you kill countless people.

But Jianxin was still down the mountain. He became a champion of the reformists. He wanted to protect people and create a new era of peace. So he also became a killing machine. He killed many people and ruined the future of many others. Including ba.
But he has no choice, because he is the strongest fighter, because someone needs his protection. He also understands that some people are not wrong, just like Pakistan's fiancé, they just made different choices in this troubled world. But they are different camps, so they are going to die.

Finally, when Ba died in Jianxin's arms, Jianxin finally realized the pain of those who were taken away by him. He chose to continue, because the new era has not yet arrived, and he must continue to kill. He is still the strongest draw sword studio before, but he is no longer the Jianxin he used to be. He bears all the pain and guilt of the killing, and every time he kills one more person, one more point. Only the shawl left by Ba can give him a little warmth and comfort.
Finally, after the battle of Toba Fushimi, he abandoned his sword to live in seclusion and vowed not to kill anyone again.

With the arrival of the new era, people will be grateful for everything he has done, but he has to bear all the pain in it.
Ten years, he spent ten years trying to become a gentle ordinary man who loves to laugh. He just wanted to live the simplest life, guarding the people around him with an inverted sword, and at the same time atonement.
But the strong are always helpless with fate.

The appearance of Zhi Zhixiong pushed him to the cusp of the storm again. After all, everyone thought that only he could stop Zhizhixiong. He only wants to live a simple life, but the country does not allow it, and the world does not allow it. He can only fight for his life, give up the life he has longed for, and fight Zhizhixiong.

Ten years later, Kenshin returned to Kyoto.
It was the first time that he saw the youngest son of the Arai family, and was not disappointed because the request was rejected. On the contrary, he bought a small windmill for the lovely child. Zhang took the child away for Chikong's last sword, and the Arai family pinned their hope of rescuing the child on Jian Xin. When Jianxin and Zhang confronted, he himself said that the child was a gift from the new era, and he could fight his life for that child.
Because he is the strongest, he must guard all this.
Finally, when he got Chikong's last sword, he hesitated for so long and struggled for so long. He had vowed not to kill anymore, it was too painful to kill. If he kills again, he will punish himself more cruelly. But he still had no choice. When Zhang was about to kill the child, he still moved to kill. I have to say that drawing a sword is really better than Jianxin, but he only wants to be Jianxin, he doesn't want to be a servant again.
But he wanted to protect the kid, so he still got the killer. At that time, he was truly desperate. Almost, almost, he fell into the eternal darkness. Fortunately, what was left in the sky was an inverted sword.

From Jianxin down the mountain, he became the most helpless wave in the torrent of the times. He is the strongest fighter, he must protect the weak, he must bear all the pain and guilt, he has no choice.
So, this is the tragedy of the hero.


Regarding the actors, Sugar was shocked to me this time, especially in the scene of the duel with Zhang, I saw Jianxin's pain and entanglement. Uncle Eguchi’s Saito is very popular, Fujiwara Ryuya and Kamiki Ryunosuke are natural villains, Shishio’s eyes and Soujiro’s smile are just amazing! ! !
But why is Takei Saki? She is more of a drama than the first one. Zuo Nosuke really cried stupidly, the whole logic of Cang Zi's appearance was too strange.


In any case, the live-action version of Kenshin did not disappoint me. Tomorrow to watch the legend ending!
