"ideal"

——The Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is a sad song. The realistic painting style, gorgeous swordsmanship, and poignant music outline the lonely figure of Feicun at the age of fifteen. The snow in the deep mountains is cold and clear, and the fragrance of white plum blossoms is scattered with the wind, and there is no trace to be found. "Go to Dajin!" Jianxin roared with his eyes closed, but with the sound of the theme song of Alone Again, Jianxin did not protect the irreplaceable person after all. face. The indigo scarf touched his face, as if her jade hand reached out to caress. Suddenly opened his eyes, but it was Yiren's back, with the body of the enemy, and gradually fell together. "I'm sorry, husband." Bai Meixiang's woman turned around and used her last strength to carve her own mark on the knife mark on Feicun's cheek, and died suddenly. She wields her sword with righteousness, wants to save the world, wants to change the times, but she can't even protect her own wife, and it is precisely because of her so-called "ideal" that she robs her of her initial happiness. Men always blindly decide their own living conditions in the name of "ideals", just like Hiimura Kenshin, in the end, there is nothing in their hands, and they can only carry the remains of the things they cherish for themselves again and again and again. An endless cycle.

"Your tender hands should be able to feel the heaviness of their corpses."
"Only when you become stronger can you protect the irreplaceable things and survive."
"Xin Tai, this name is too weak, not a swordsman's name, from today From now on, your name is called - Jianxin."
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the cold moonlight, sprinkled in front of the tomb; two figures, one tall and the other short, dragged a long shadow, this is called Xintai Little boy, no longer ordinary.
A few years later, in the training camp of Changzhou Fan's Qibing Team, a red-haired boy with a seemingly frail body shocked the audience with his amazing sword-drawing skills.
"Even if you have a strong power, and follow the teachings of Feitian Yujianliu to save the people of the world, you can't change anything in this era by yourself. You can only bury the dead body properly."
"Stupid apprentice, if you go down the mountain If you want to change this era, you can only join one of the forces and be driven by power from now on, is this what you want?"
Feicun learned the Flying Sword, went down the mountain with ideals, and turned a deaf ear to the master's words. Actively participate in the Restoration Movement.
At the same time, outside the city of Kyoto, a man named Kiyosato drove to the troubled Kyoto in order to fulfill his "ideal".
"I'll be back in the spring of next year, let's bear with it for a while."
"When I return, I'll buy some physalis and come back."
His sword skills were mediocre.

The fateful encounter is inevitable. During the "Tianzhu" operation to assassinate the Shoji Shigekura and Shigekura Jubei in Kyoto, Hiimura Kenshin wielded a knife to cut off the fate of the three people - he did not know at the time, this ideal is related to In an ideal collision, the result is not just a matter of life and death. Kiyosato was covered in blood, struggling to avoid Jianxin's fatal sword, and before his death, he gave Jianxin an "unhealable" sword wound.
"The scars left by a person full of resentment before they die will never heal."
Kiyosato did not fulfill his long-cherished wish. Before Feicun stabbed the last sword to cut off all his fate, he saw that it was only his fiancée. A beautiful shadow, holding a flower basket in her arms, smiling beautifully, waiting for her to return.
"I don't want to die yet..."

The next encounter between Shedaba and Kenshin was naturally a conspiracy by Yin Naiwu - "There is no man in the world who will not be sympathetic, even if it is the murderous and ruthless Swordsman."
In the heavy rain, Bai Meixiang's woman said something that made the executioner at a loss.
"You can really... call... a bloody storm." The
blood splashed on the woman's skin as fat as snow, which was extremely shocking. The two looked at each other for a long time, and the woman took two steps forward and fell on the ground. Kenshin's arms. At that moment, Jian Xin was no longer the killing tool of the Changzhou School, but a man who was hit by a spark.

Shedaba used to hate Kenshin, but when she saw this wicked executioner, she was shaken - in front of her, there was only a deep talker who dedicated everything to her ideals and wanted to protect more The swordsman boy of the common people. But in the end, this red-haired teenager stole her happiness, so she quietly lurked. Although he approached for revenge, who can deny that Aba has such a little admiration for Kenshin.

Before the Ikedaya incident, Hiicura was always cold. Although he had developed a deep bond with Ba, he knew that he could not have any reliance on his identity as an executioner; and Shedaba also knew that the red-haired boy in front of him. , is the husband-killing enemy he hates, and the goal of his existence is to assist Yin Naiwu to get rid of him. But after the Ikedaya Incident, the first thing that Heicun thought of was Shee Daiba, holding her hand and embarking on the road of escape together; and in the encounter with the Shinsengumi, Shee Daiba also served as Heimun's sword Sheath, shook his head, and taught him to stop his hands with his eyes. Afterwards, the seclusion life in Xiaolishan was the starting point for their emotional explosion. Jianxin temporarily abandoned his "ideal" in his quiet life, and Aba also forgot his "hatred". I think the fifteen-year-old Jianxin The heart has a very simple fascination with Shedaba from beginning to end. From the first time he saw Aba in the market, I could see the strangeness on the executioner's face; After getting to know this man, she fell in love with Jianxin, because she saw the simplicity of Jianxin's heart, and also saw Jianxin's obsession with "ideal" without regrets. But the good times didn't last long. The appearance of Xue Daiyuan reminded Aba of his identity. In the struggle between her deceased husband Qingli and his lover Jian Xin, I believe that Xue Daiba's inner torment was more difficult than Jian Xin's execution as the executioner. The second "Tianzhu" was even more serious. Now it is the season of snow falling again, and the fragrance of white plum blossoms cannot hide the tragic trend of the story - in this extreme atmosphere, Yin Naiwu's conspiracy gradually surfaced.

There are two best ways to defeat a man - one, the deprivation of ideals; two, the betrayal of a lover.
In the end, Xuedaiba couldn't bear the torment in his heart, and when he went to the base of Yin Naiwu alone, he had already fallen into their trap. "There is no man in the world who will not be emotional, even if it is the murderous and ruthless Swordsman." The
leader said.
Aba suddenly understood that she was lurking beside Jian Xin, not to find any "weakness of the executioner", but to make the other party fall in love with her, and at this moment, she was Jian Xin's biggest weakness. But it's too late to understand all this.
On the other hand, after the deliberate design of the shogunate, Kenshin found out that Snow Daiba was actually the fiancée of the aide Kiyori who killed himself, and the "traitor" who had been lurking around, and the wound on his cheek oozes blood again. He was chasing after the footprints Aba left on the snow, walking in the snow in despair, his body seemed to have lost the support of his soul. In his right hand he held the indigo silk scarf left by Abba.
"When you lose the reason to protect, even if you are as strong as a gangster, you will not be able to exert your own strength."
Soon, Kenshin encountered several blocks from Yin Naiwu. Although he killed all the enemies, he was also seriously injured. .
Leaving a trail of blood, Kenshin, who had already had hallucinations, stumbled to the front of the leader, but the sword-drawing technique he was once proud of could not be performed smoothly, and was suppressed to the point of being unable to fight back.
"I have been killing people with swords, but you have lost your happiness because of this. I... took away your most important person. I don't know, I... have no right to protect you at all." In the
snow, Jian Xin was closed . Eyes roared, rushing towards the leader.
"Nevertheless, I still... want to protect you!" The
last sword was swung down.

Blood splattered on his face. The indigo scarf touched his face, as if her jade hand reached out to caress. Suddenly opened his eyes, but it was Yiren's back, with the body of the enemy, and gradually fell together. "I'm sorry, husband." Bai Meixiang's woman turned around and used her last strength to carve her own mark on the knife mark on Feicun's cheek, and died suddenly.

"Your tender hands should be able to feel the heaviness of their bodies."
"Only by becoming stronger can you protect the irreplaceable things and survive."
As if returning to yesterday, Jian Xin's hands felt the unbearable weight again. Aba protected him, but he killed Aba by mistake. At the end of the OVA, Jian Xin’s sadness is more than death, but he still insists on his “ideal” in order to repay the people who protected him (Xuedaiba?) and apologize to all those killed by him (Kyosato?). ——Change this era, use the flying sword to open the way for the reformation, and save the people of the world. In the end, I had to sigh again for the romanticism of Nobuhiro Hezuki's writings, rendering Kenshin a swordsman who can change the times - but the truth can only be the words of Kiyojuro Higu.
