Kenshin is the unquestionable protagonist, and all the characters revolve around him, but I always feel that Kenshin of Sato Takeru is too imposing in front of Fujiwara Ryuya - compared to the helpless and desperate Seven in "Battle Royale" Yuan Qiuye, Zhi Zhixiong's eyes are full of fierceness - hatred, fanaticism, disdain, ridicule, bloodthirsty,. I even think Zhi Zhixiong is the real protagonist.
It's just that such a hero was resurrected from hatred - he was killed by several swords, burned by fire, but survived, it is impossible for him to exist. He is a victim of politics. He is unwilling. Simple but profound hatred supports everything. In the words of another commentator, he does not understand politics. This is destined to be a tragedy. His beliefs are as simple as Saitoichi's slaying of evil - the weak eat the strong, Sino Mori wields the sword for the name of the strongest at the end of the Bakumatsu, and Zhi Zhixiong is for his own ambition and hatred, he must stand at the highest point, watch With everyone dying in front of his eyes, he became the strongest executioner at the end of the Tokugawa period, and personally overthrew the Meiji government that used him and killed him.
Letting others die is the name of his sword. And Kiyojuro Bigu made Kenshin understand time and time again that he can only cross people by crossing himself - Kenshin no longer kills, in order to save the world, you can not care about his own life and death, but it is actually another form of cowardice - to escape the executioner's past , will always be obstructed by inner demons, and one day, because of deliberate escape, he will pick up the sword of murder again. What the master taught him was a new word, which was actually the profound meaning of the living sword.
Life and death, two diametrically opposed swords, whether the sword heart itself is a symbol of life, and it does not need to be like Zhi Zhixiong, there is a red lotus karmic fire that burns everything behind it to symbolize his bloodthirsty and burning hatred. In fact, Fujiwara Ryuya's performance is enough, his eyes, his wild laughter, his hoarse voice, and his sword are enough, enough to express all the despair and fanaticism of this doomed maniac. A mighty power burst out from his fragile body, the arrogance of seeing the four samurai as nothing, and he carried a fiery sword—at the end of all of this, it was Zhi Zhixiong’s desperate sentence, “This era chose you.” The unwillingness to fate was ignited, and the raging flames also burned away the glory of the samurai of the old age. Ito led all the police to pay tribute to the samurai, although their eyes were staring at the dead policemen in the distance, in order to self-anesthetize, it might be a salute to all samurai, including the dead police, including Totosai, Saanosuke , Saitoichi, Shino Mori, and even Shi Zhixiong who died in the fire is true...
I went to Baidu to read the battle of Toba Fushimi. In addition to the support of the new government, the number of new weapons is also an important factor. . Zhi Zhixiong wanted to follow the example of bombarding Tokyo, but in the end, he put aside the cannon and Gatling. As a samurai, he got his final destination in sword and blood.
Kenshin said, Zhi Zhixiong is real, farewell...
I want to add, Fujiwara Ryuya, farewell... In my heart, you are the real Zhi Zhixiong.
