Kyoto is on fire, and the sword is broken

A film that connects the previous and the next, but also the suppression of the desire to promote first.

The opening scene is the real cruelty of the big villain Zhi Zhixiong. He is cruel to the enemy and even more cruel to himself. This style is really reductive. Okubo Ritsu, who cannot dispatch the army, is helpless and can only turn to Kenshin. I vaguely remember that this person was assassinated in history. It seems that the historical knowledge was not returned to the teacher, and he was killed by Seta Sojiro on the carriage in a blink of an eye. The ending of Xiongxiong is also very touching, so Jianxin is determined to go on the road alone to defeat Zhizhixiong. Even after defeating a lot of little guys in the village to warm up, Kenshin still lost to Sojiro, and even the reverse-blade sword was cut off. Unfortunately, the villain never understands the truth of cutting grass and rooting, alas. Kenshin is living in the stronghold of Yui Banzhongjumachi (well, fuck), but my mind is full of that charming glasses girl. In the process of looking for the new sword made by Arai Chikong, he had another fight with the swordsman Zhang. In the blink of an eye, Kyoto caught fire, mixed with the duel between Shino Mori Cangzi and the old man. The big face is really a disaster, and he was kidnapped when he was okay, why should I say it again? The two fell into the sea, after all you jump, i jump.

The degree of reduction is still very high, including the mummy-like Zhizhixiong real, the super fast and unparalleled Seta Zongjiro, the swordsman Zhang with a double-edged sword... The ruined village, the quaint Kyoto, the viewing angles are all great, etc. After the epidemic is over, I will go to places like Kyoto and Nara for an in-depth tour. I was in a hurry last time, sorry.

The action design is as nice as always, with the masculinity of Saitoichi and the speed of Sojiro, of course, the lightness and elegance of Kenshin. Kenshin's duel with Sojiro and duel with Dao Kang Zhang are different styles of play. The sliding shovel is well used. It is no wonder that Japanese football is booming. The martial arts instructor is very attentive and has a high degree of reduction to the comics, especially the two strange knives of Dao Shou Zhang, which have designed different styles of play. The action of the whole movie is done in one go, without being sloppy, flying close to the ground, which can be called violent aesthetics.

The manga film has reached this point, and I have to be convinced.

    As soon as Zhi Zhixiong from the end of the curtain came on stage, I was embarrassed: what a simple and honest face~ There are a few martial arts scenes that are quite similar to Tsui Hark's Wong Fei Hung, but I feel that there is still room for improvement in the group battle scene. The core of "Rurouni Kenshin" is the nihilism after the ideology has been removed. Kenshin, Saito, and Shi Zhixiong are all nihilists in essence, but after the history is removed, this is incomprehensible...

    The plot is slightly pitted, basically paving the way for the ending, but I went to see Jianxin. . Sato's reduction degree is still so high that it deserves five stars. In fact, there are more characters in this more compact film, Cang Zi and exercises are good, Bo Weng is also very restored! What should Cang Zi be so cool about Jianxin? Ah Kuai was so worried, and couldn't leave the end of the chapter. The thought of going back to China and waiting for half a year felt like a year.
