The end of the legend

One of the few live-action comic trilogy that deserves to be recommended by the stars, and it is also the best performance of Sato Takeshi's career that I have seen.

When Jianxin was young, he cultivated swordsmanship and went down the mountain with the belief of saving the common people, but in the end he could only join one of the camps with the tide, and went through hardships to usher in a peaceful and prosperous age-the appearance of Zhi Zhixiong made him once again pushed to the forefront, including the Restoration Everyone in the world, including the government, believes that only he can stop Zhi Zhixiong. So he can only give up the life he has longed for for a long time, and put his life on the line to fight Zhi Zhixiong without hesitation.

Compared with Kenshin, who has been sticking to his beliefs since the three stories, the incompetent government's backtracking and repeated betrayals reflect the original government and politics in reality.

To a certain extent, whether it is Hiimura Kenshin, Saitoichi, Sagara Saanosuke, Shino Mori Cangzi or even Shi Zhixiong are actually abandoned children of the tragic era. They only got scars all over the body in the old era, but it is difficult to find their own belonging in the new era; although their positions and beliefs are different, they are still looking for their own tomorrow in different ways. They ran past the era of exchanging dignity and death for money, the era when nobles were begging in the streets, and the warriors who pulled carts to shine shoes - which also means the decline of the entire class.

Zhi Zhixiong is a character that transcends common sense - pierced by the sword and scorched all over his body, he not only survives with great willpower, but is still unbelievably strong; although it is unlikely in reality, what his presence in the film represents In fact, it is the spirit of the undead and samurai abandoned by the times. At the end, the four people fought a copy-style wheel battle. Even though the flame knife was wielded with great power, but because of his own disability, he was defeated by Kenshin's Feitian Yujian Liu Mystery - Tianxiang Longshan (the original Japanese version is very long), a generation of heroes. It's really frustrating to finally end.

The legend has ended, but history has just begun - after solving the internal trouble of Zhi Zhixiong, it is time for Japan to gradually extend its claws to Korea and China during the Qing Dynasty.

The PS soundtrack is still at a high level, but the ending song is not as good as the first two.
