The first time I knew about "Rurouni Kenshin" was a certain afternoon in junior high school, I followed my cousin to watch "Song of the Restoration Soul". This OVA, which seems to have a lot of plot slots now, is actually the starting point of my 20-year Langjian fan career, and I can't help but feel a little funny. Who let Kenshin fly into the air and use the free fall gravity acceleration to rotate and draw the knife, it's really too handsome.
Back then, the network resources were not as abundant and convenient as they are now. Watching anime all depended on pirated discs from street video stores. It took 5 yuan and 7 yuan to collect them slowly one by one. effort. The manga was the last thing I made up, and it looked like a page with four grids. Let's look at the current Bilibili Mining Company, how happy it is!
Although the reminiscence chapter OVA is highly respected and known as the pinnacle of animation history, it is the TV version of Kyoto chapter that made me a fan of Langjian. Thanks to the space, the author's ideas can be presented in a more complete way, and I was shocked by the three views of this animation at that time.
At the end of the Kyoto chapter, after the hunting sword Zhang was sent away from the door of Shirabetsu, Yahiko asked Kenshin: "We won, right, so we are the righteous one?" Kenshin replied: "The victorious one If we represent justice, then we are the same as Zhi Zhixiong. We stand up and defeat Zhi Zhixiong only when we firmly believe that we are righteous. But Zhi Zhixiong also hoped to prove himself right by winning, and it was his belief that supported him to do so. , he is no different from us in this point. It can only be said that the times are on our side.”
The dialogue between Kenshin and Yahiko I revisited many times in the years that followed. With superb swordsmanship, handsome appearance and contrasting cute characters, there are not a few protagonists with these qualities, and they are not unique to Kenshin. What really endows Kenshin Hiimura's extraordinary personality charm is his pursuit of equality, his longing for freedom and his compassion for the weak. On the other hand, black and white diode thinking is flowing everywhere on the Internet. "Rurouni Kenshin", a work with such a concept and three views 20 years ago, is extremely precious.
Although the story of Rurouni Kenshin is fictitious, the Samaku faction, the reform school, Katsura Kogoro, Shinsengumi, the Ikedaya incident, and the battle of Toba Fushimi that are constantly mentioned in the story all exist in history. , it is they that endow the Rurouni Kenshin with a heavy historical background. As the main line of the plot unfolds, readers are also led into those magnificent years.
Because I like Rurouni Kenshin, I have also checked in the Shinsengumi Village and the Ikeda House Ruins in Kyoto. There is actually a Kendo Museum near the Shinsengumi Village where you can learn the natural Rishin style. It seems that there are also many local Japanese fans. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Remembrance is a theme that has to be discussed in the "Rurouni Kenshin" series. I've always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with memoirs. Love is the soundtrack of Taku Iwasaki, the encounter of Jianba in the bloody rain and the end of Jianshin running around Ba's shawl in the sunset, even if I have watched it countless times, the whole person will still get goosebumps when the music is played. . What I hate is that the painting style is too oppressive, and the style of the comics is far away from two works. Guqiao brought the Japanese favorite things to the extreme in the reminiscence chapter. The bewildered and inked a lot.
When Mr. Gui first met Jianxin, he asked: Are you willing to kill with a sword for the new era? The fourteen-year-old Jianxin replied with clear and firm eyes: I am willing to contaminate this knife with blood in exchange for the arrival of a new era. Later, Mr. Katsura told Iizuka that although his appearance is slowly maturing, his eyes are still as clear as ever. It can be seen that although Kenshin is suffering, his heart for opening a new era has never changed. It's a pity that I didn't see this kind of eyes in the reminiscence chapter. There was only tiredness in the eyes of Drawing Dao Zhai. The seclusion life of Yuba in the comics made Kenshin slowly realize the small happiness in life, and his cheerful personality began to emerge. Dangtang Datozai was forced to play the role of the director of the new writing team, Isamu Kondo, playing with the children in the village. Lovely. So, comics are still yyds!
Myojin Yahiko is another character I like very much besides Kenshin. Compared with the monster masters such as Kenshin Zuanosuke, Yahiko's growth history is more like the struggle history of ordinary people. The highlight moment of Yahiko in the TV version is the battle against Batya in the Aoiya offensive and defensive battle, but from the perspective of the entire comic, this battle is just the beginning of Yahiko's career as a great swordsman.
In the battle of Zhizhixiong, Yahiko was left in the Kwai House. Although the little boy was full of unwillingness, he had to accept Kenshin's arrangement, which was indeed not allowed by his strength. Yahiko is eager to become stronger, and hopes to one day be qualified to fight alongside Kenshin. The strong belief prompted him to keep chasing the back in his heart. In addition, after the Kyoto chapter, Kenshin acted as the exclusive sparring of Yahiko 1V1 every day. In the end, Yahiko's efforts were recognized by Kenshin in the "Human Punishment" chapter, and he was on his own in the two battles. , successfully defeated Yihe Piaohu and Xuanwu among the four gods, the old mother showed a aunt smile. It's just that Yahiko seems to be drifting away from the character of ordinary people...
At the end of the comic, the fifteen-year-old Yahiko inherited Kenshin's reverse-edged sword and became the heir of Kenshin. The legend of the strongest swordsman came to an end, and Hiimura Kenshin gained ordinary happiness. Although the star frost is not recognized by the author, the style of painting is not my favorite, and the ending is so angry that I want to send a blade to Guqiao. However, when Yahiko went to the sword road that ran away from home, I still have to give a high praise: handsome! Jianlu, a middle schooler, deserves to be uncle Yahiko? After a meal, your uncle is your uncle after all, even if you take a reverse-blade knife, you will still be your uncle. PS: The scene where Yahiko and Master Bigu were drinking together was also very beautiful. They were obviously not good at dealing with them back then!
The Langjian series is too long, and there are too many favorite clips. I don't know where to start at the moment, so I can only write where it counts.
