However, today, I just revisited a little bit of this long-lost story, and the familiar touch came from the surface involuntarily.
Time to write something.
At first, it was only 95 episodes of TV, a very rough disc, which took about 5 days to complete. From the light-hearted Tokyo episode, to the Kyoto episode with strong characters but weak plot, to more than 30 episodes that didn't know it was original at the time but thought the plot was ridiculous, to the ending that couldn't be more satisfactory in the final idea.
Full of inspiration.
I was completely immersed in this story for several days, and then it seemed to be far and near, but it never dissipated.
I think, when I saw Kenshin for the first time, it was destined to be an unshakable worship. So, for him, I have never and could not be rational. I like his "Xianhui" who buys vegetables, cooks and cooks bath water, likes his big eyes and small body in the Q version, likes that he scratches the back of his head in the face of a group of people's disputes and runs away like a little fox, likes that he is sometimes called People are used as shields and punching bags, but only he can stand up at critical moments, like his handsome posture when drawing his sword, like his omniscient but unwilling to speak, like his gentle smile, quiet contemplation, and occasional chilling chill... ... in my eyes, Kenshin is perfect, any unfavorable comments are automatically blocked.
It's just that he's too deep to look up to, but it's hard to really get close. In those years at the end of the curtain, although he was only a flick of his finger in his life, he was left with the title of "Executioner Pulling the Sword" and also left him with an indelible memory. He spent ten years wandering and could not heal the wound until he met Kaoru.
Kaoru, I don't feel like a girl with a special temperament. Very typical teenage heroine character. Cheerful, lively, simple, kind, infatuated, and a little willful, irritable, and loves to fight injustice. But this kind of character is very healing at the same time, which is perfect for the male protagonist who has scars in his heart. In fact, I have always doubted whether Kaoru and Kenshin really understood and communicated with each other spiritually. Kenshin's thinking is too deep, and Kenshin's past cannot tolerate Xiaoxun's insertion. Often Xiaoxun is in a state of incomprehensible and incomprehensible Jianshin. And Jian Xin has never shown weakness in front of Xiao Xun. But I think that Xiaoxun has always understood this, but she chose to be tolerant in the face of love, and chose to ignore these obstacles. And Kaoru's tolerance and vitality also made her the first girl who made Kenshin feel at home, the first girl who made Kenshin feel that she was also entitled to happiness (previously Kenshin was a kind of entanglement and negativity. Can't escape from the guilt...). To be able to obtain such precious happiness after the first half of his dark life is already a great gift for Kenshin.
Later, I often thought, why do I love this anime so much? Probably because Kenshin's sad temperament is too different from many of the main characters of the passion department. Although there are also unavoidable bridges such as leveling up the boss to fight the undead and Xiaoqiang irrationally turning into a unique trick to determine the outcome, but in terms of character setting, Kenshin seems to be closer to a popular supporting role. So, generally speaking, I was more interested in the popular supporting role and ignored the hot-blooded protagonist, and I fell unprepared at the feet of Kenshin. Kenshin has also become the only anime protagonist with heart water.
Later, I completed the reminiscence chapter of the masterpiece, the star cream chapter of the masterpiece/brain remnant, and a theatrical version above the standard.
I have been thinking, why did I suddenly want to reminisce about Kenshin after brushing Inuyasha? In addition to the fact that the protagonists are all red (is this a reason = =), it is probably that the settings of the first and second heroines are too similar. All of them had an unforgettable sad first love, and in the end the first love died tragically, and the death was all related to themselves. When her heart has not yet healed, she meets the current heroine. Although she is gentle and considerate, her ex is always hard to let go, so she feels entangled. Even the temperament is very similar, Ba and Kikyo are both elegant and noble types (so they are very popular), while Kagome and Kaoru are both lively and lovely types
In the reminiscence chapter, Ba came here on the snow, dressed in plain white, such a woman is very popular. Cold, noble, arrogant, white plum fragrance, feminine. In fact, the temperament of plum blossoms and platycodon flowers is very similar, and they both have a sense of sacredness that can be seen from a distance but cannot be played with. But the heart-warming power cannot be underestimated. Different from Kaoru's way of getting along, Kenshin and Ba are equal when they get along, and even some are taken care of. At that time, Jian Xin was sharp but a little childish. Ba brought him his first warmth, his first love, his first positive view of life, and of course the last, and his first deepest pain. I think, without those hatreds and those accidents, they might be able to be an ordinary couple who respect each other in troubled times. It's just that fate didn't give them such an opportunity. But I still thank Ba, who washed away the cruelty and ill-will in Jianxin, and made him so cute now.
In reality, Kaoru's kimono is often bright yellow, and like the light green of Kagome's school uniform, it is a refreshing and pleasant color. And Fujiya Miki and Yukino May's voices are also full of vitality. Does this energetic voice often make Kenshin forget his contemplation and troubles? Kenshin's often smiling expression hides a feeling of sadness from time to time, and Xiaoxun should also be able to perceive it. Although it is hard to say that these smiles are not genuine, there is always an elusive feeling behind it. It seems that some knots in my heart can never be approached and touched. And after learning about Ba's matter, Kaoru's heart is even more mixed. But the way she finally chooses is respect, which I think should be the best choice she can make.
Fortunately, there is no such tragic bridge in Jianxin as the resurrection of the dead. Although the debate about who is better between Kaoru and Ba has never been interrupted, after all, time and space are separated, and it seems that there is no tit-for-tat like the dispute between Kagome and Kikyo. And Kenshin has also been spared the accusation of being one-footed like a dog. Otherwise, if Ba is really resurrected, Kenshin will be entangled.
What is Kenshin's mental journey? From the once weak and kind-hearted young Xintai, to the majestic Qianren Zhanjianzhai a few years later, to the wandering ronin, and finally, Kaoru's husband. Jian Xin, who killed Ba, naturally blamed himself, but he did not put down the sword in his hand. Does he regret that he once started this new era as a reformer? At least he couldn't deny it, otherwise it would be unfair to his deceased companion and even his opponent. He didn't do anything wrong. However, his original guilt was too strong, so that his heart could not get rid of the shackles of guilt. The combination of a too kind character and Ba's excitement prevents him from swinging his sword as freely as Shinsengumi.
Although Ba was fleeting in Kenshin's life, his influence was never interrupted. Although I feel sorry for this woman, she escaped from death and pushed Kenshin into the abyss of hell. Even poisoned his young brother. If he hadn't met Kaoru at the beginning of the story, Kenshin's life might have died alone after years of wandering. So, sometimes I can't help but resent this kind but cowardly woman, it would be great if she had Xiao Xun's awareness of "I will never die".
Star Cream is really difficult to comment on. Although I have always resisted admitting its existence from the bottom of my heart, I have to say that there is his uniqueness. It infinitely magnifies the sad side of Jianxin, just like the unspeakable knots and sorrows I just explained, thus extending the future and ending of Jianxin from the perspective of self. Although it is obviously not in line with the original meaning of the original author (in fact, I think he and Yue Nobuhong are quite passionate), but who knows that such an ending in a troubled world is not entirely impossible.
If Kenshin could see this society clearly in advance, would he follow Kiyojuro Bigu's advice and stop going down the mountain? Then there will be no more pain and laughter afterward. This may be a result that will never be answered.
But sometimes I think that if Kenshin grew up in the Warring States Period, the result might be better. At least, the dignity of the samurai will not be trampled so easily. Moreover, the samurai class will not be eliminated so quickly and ruthlessly because of the proliferation of hot weapons such as muskets and artillery. When I saw Takeda Kanryu, who had no power to tie the chicken, used a small cannon to almost wipe out the entire army of Yuting Fanzhong, I was really sad.
After the grief-stricken Star Frost arc, I finished the manga's ending and chatted about masturbation. Naturally, it has a great healing effect, but it still makes me feel that there are a lot of complaints. Why didn't Megumin and Zuanosuke end up being ambiguous? Why does Kenshin end up being given a title that is not suitable for swinging the sword and finally abandon the sword? (This way, Feitian Yujianliu will be cut off. Does Bigu Qingjurou not know?) Why did Kenshin and Kaoru give birth to a boy who resisted him instead of a little girl who was close and cute? ... Of course, it may be simply because I don't like the ending of the hero after N years. So no matter how bloody the final original is, it still can't hide the good ending of the TV version, and the simple continuation of life is enough.
I have always thought that He and Nobuhiro Moon were a bit strange. As an author, it is too unfriendly to the protagonist and popular supporting roles. I have always heard him say that he loves the characters such as Udo Blade Guard, Makimachi, and Fang Zhi, but he doesn't seem to be interested in the protagonist, so he is merciless. He has the urge to paint Xiao Xun and almost put it into practice. , then the mother's face can be seen. But perhaps because of this, Heyue's paintings can have a slightly different angle from ordinary comics, more objective, real, not beautifying, not whitewashing, and not perfect.
The broken thoughts are about to end here. It took Kenshin ten years to find his home. So can I wake up from this dream that I have had for ten years? Maybe there is no way.
