Cross Scar and Butterfly

Under the double temptation of junior brother and senior sister, I finally completed the Rurouni Kenshin TV version and OVA. There are about 100 episodes in total. Sure enough, I still have the potential of being a house girl, hehe.

After watching it, I am still very impressed. The first is that the wiki has a bunch of nouns, such as Shinsengumi, Okita Soji, Saitoichi, Ikedaya Incident, and Amakusa Shiro. Most of these characters and historical events have been sporadically encountered in previous history classes or Japanese movies and animations, but Kenshin is the first time that I have been seriously invested in Japan, which is undergoing a major reform at the end of the curtain. In the Restoration period, how did the Japanese people, especially the samurai, adapt to the changes of the times. Some people are blindly immersed in the memories of the shogunate era, and some people want to take advantage of the troubled times to dominate, so they disregard the people's enthusiasm in order to overthrow the Restoration government. However, Kenshin chose to wander and protect the weak with the reverse-edged sword in his hand. And when this man with the cross scar and the executioner's past met Kamiya Kaori, the wanderer stopped wandering, and the cross scar caused by one woman's love finally faded away in another woman's love.

Incorporating more history and humanity in color and humor, Rurouni Kenshin definitely surpasses most anime and becomes an eternity in the hearts of anime lovers. However, after reading the Xingshuang chapter, I have always had an incomprehensible pimple in my heart: why and Yue Shinhong arranged for Kenshin to die of lupus erythematosus! Naze! Junior is worthy of being a strong man in anime. In the end, he explained my doubts with Japanese Bushido. A powerful warrior like Kenshin could not be defeated by the enemy, but he had to die in an extraordinary way, so the author arranged for Kenshin to die from an unusual disease - lupus erythematosus (the patient will have rose-colored lumps shaped like butterflies on his body. ). Well, although I haven't seen these beautiful butterflies with my own eyes, it is indeed the most beautiful ending for Kenshin to fall into Xun's arms and leave quietly.

Rurouni Kenshin quotes

  • Misao Makimachi: Come on, Himura, why are you trying to push us away? Is it because we found out you're battousai the manslayer? That doesn't matter at all! I don't care what you were! When we first met, I met you as a wanderer, not as a manslayer!

  • Soujiro Seta: In the end, only the fittest survive in this world. If you're strong you live, if you're weak you die.
