When I saw the end, I was moved by Xuedaiba at first - not like the life and death in "Xingshuangbian", but blocked a sword for Jianxin, and at the same time died with Yin Naiwu.
What attracted me was not how old these "villains" were in the shogunate at the time, or what clan Kenshin belonged to, and what relationship it had with the Shinsengumi. . .
But why did Shedaba draw another scar? The clan chief had confessed to Shedaba that she wanted her to be the scabbard of Kenshin—Isn’t it a joke to ask a woman to be the “scabbard” for murdering his fiancé? Of course, the feudal chief did not know the inside story, but Shedaba knew it himself.
However, no joke. Jian Xin's diligence, bravery and kindness obviously moved Ba, especially when he saw Jian Xin saying "I will protect you", Yuan Fei Rutian. But Ba finally left Jianxin and did not live in seclusion with him in the mountains.
Shedaba knew she couldn't love Kenshin - she was an old-fashioned woman. It's not that she's not open-minded - it's not a question of being open-minded, it's a question of how she handles the relationship between her slain fiancé and a kind-hearted killer. It's good to be at odds with each other, but Shedaba needs to make a decision. Needless to say, it was painful.
Shedaba didn't want to live up to her fiancé, what she thought was rather: Kenshin don't die. So when she saw her fiancé appear, she seemed to see hope. Blocking a knife for Jianxin, thus completing all her debts to Jianxin.
"I'm sorry, husband." Who was this sentence addressed to, Kenshin? wrong. Shedaba means: I'm sorry, I couldn't kill this killer to avenge you, because I don't have the ability - like you, I can only leave a scar on his face.
Shedaba wiped out all hatred with her own death. She has already avenged her revenge—Jianxin couldn't let it go, and there was no way to explain it. He may have felt that he was in the position when Ba learned that his fiance was killed. The important thing is not the death of Ba, but the fact that the person who he killed recklessly can always restrict the actions and thoughts of the living. That's why, the clan chief said, even though she was dead, she was still Kenshin's scabbard.
[Supplement] My humble opinion can get so many comments that I didn't expect that there are still people replying today. My previous comment is undoubtedly a bit "excessive". In fact, from another angle, isn't the cross itself a fork, a kind of cancellation? To undo previous sins with the same wounds - this is the best and possibly the only way to heal.
[Supplement 2] It is normal and understandable for everyone to have opinions; not to mention cartoons, people have opinions, and they can raise them and make them public, which is very good. But I have almost finished what I have to say. I hope that if there are still people who want to discuss this issue in the future, before replying to the thread, take a look at the opinions written by others. If there is dissatisfaction, it can be discussed and supplemented, but it should be supplemented on the basis of referring to the opinions of predecessors.
