Some personal information is excerpted.

no illusion

The presumed age is 20 years old, the personality is poor, the style is like a bad boy, he is good at talking, and he is wandering and likes women. A man with a beast-like intuition and physical abilities far surpassing that of humans. It uses a completely self-created kaleidoscope sword technique, which can change the fighting style according to the battlefield conditions. The strongest move is slashing, which has no fixed rhythm and is accompanied by a lot of fake moves. There are also many moves that do not follow common sense. It is simply dancing the dance of destruction during battle. Only believe in what you know, and when you get stronger, you get stronger. I like to place myself on the thin line of life and death, and only at that moment can I feel the power beyond my own limits. Born on a small island in Ryukyu, he has lived a personal life since he was a child. For him who has been abused and betrayed without anyone he can trust, "trusting no one" is the only way to survive. The pursuit of "stronger than anyone".

Benevolence

For the needs of cross-dressing, universal glasses are used. During the Edo period, there was a swordsman who held an astonishing record of over a thousand fights with other schools without a single defeat. He used the phantom swordsmanship that reached the ultimate level of Japanese swordsmanship but disappeared without even a decent official record. As the first disciple of the dojo opened by this swordsman, Jin has been regarded as a genius who can surpass his teacher since childhood (Kenshin?) However, after a certain incident, Jin ran away from the dojo and became a wanderer. body. He can see the weakness of the opponent's swordsmanship without handing over the sword, and defeat the enemy with one sword.

The presumed age is 15 years old. She has always been very cheerful and curious, likes to take care of others, and is a girl who has worked many part-time jobs. A flying squirrel is kept in his sleeve, and he often gets help from it. Why do all kinds of part-time jobs? There is actually a reason for this. She has been looking for a certain man. She thought that she might get some clues about that man by working part-time in all walks of life. At some point, she decided to travel to various countries to find that man. When she was troubled by "it's dangerous for such a cute girl to travel alone, but I don't have the money to hire a bodyguard", Wuhuan and Ren appeared in front of her.

A few days ago, I was recommended the playlist "jazz hiphop" and revisited this show.

Those who had not been able to experience it with their hearts seem to understand a little now. I don't know about Watanabe Shinichiro, but he must be a good at expressing ambiguous feelings, and this ambiguous does not only refer to the ambiguous relationship between men and women. No illusion and wind, wind and benevolence, benevolence and Wuhuan, benevolence and Zi Nai, their feelings need not be expressed in words, not classified and defined, or cherish each other, or secret feelings are not important. When you meet, you face each other with heart, and when you leave, you walk away freely.

I remember that I liked Ren's carefulness and gentleness before. Whenever I was in danger, Ren would usually appear first, and at that time Wuhuan was doing something in a mess. And now I find that I will be like the heroine, no matter what time I have no illusions, because this guy is too dazzling.

Kindness, gentleness, restraint, no illusions, arrogance, people who look different are actually the same people. So when I know a little about an episode, I can say: Only I can kill this man! Ren is a person who has a "belief" that he identifies, so he refuses the master's allegiance to the shogunate. On the journey, he has goodwill towards the weak and confronts injustice. Wuhuan seems to be reckless with the world, as if he is just seeking a confrontation with the strong, and has done a lot of bad things, but I always think that he is a person with strong anger but still tenderness, who has been betrayed but still is with Skeleton Cooperation, staggering to kill the co-conspirator but letting go of Xiaozai, the anger and sadness when killing Sara, and finally throwing down the only trusted sword for the wind. After all, they are all samurai who have been hurt by reality but still don't forget the "Dao".

The main line of the plot is the samurai who help the wind to find the taste of sunflowers, and they are not looking for their own way. In the final episode of the showdown, Feng met his dying father and forgave those sad years of mother and daughter being together. Wuhuan was complained during the duel with the sword god: relying only on intuition and the limit of the physical sword is not enough. So in the confrontation with the three brothers, he used his skills to kill the enemy. Benevolence is extremely gifted, and the master commented: Your sword is only for yourself. In the end his sword came out to protect others.

Unconsciously, everyone has completed their own growth.

Chatting by the bonfire, Feng had already decided to separate, so he rejected what Jen didn't say. I used to think the ending was disappointing, but now I think it's the best ending: on a fine day, walking on a different path without looking back, we'll meet. Most definitely.

  • Shige: "There were men on top of horses and horses on top of men, piled one atop the other. The valley was laid open before the men. Its depth was great and wide. But the number of soldiers that died that day would line its two rock walls from side to side. Corpses stacked up to build a mountain of death and it gushed rivers of dead men's blood."
