[Rurouni Kenshin] Battousai did something terrible to Kōzan, didn’t he?

Otaku Review Image

Wait, Battousai! You… the Restoration patriots are not satisfied just with taking away the pride of warriors and the era for themselves. If I die at the hands of the strongest, who can be proud here and now, that would be my true desire!! I’m sorry, I no longer want to kill anyone as much as I can. Now, let me end this; live in the new era… are you trying to take even the place of death as a warrior from me!! Battousai!!!

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:10Yeahx83

It’s the weak one’s fault, right?
I actually want you to apologize instead.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:13

>>1Imagining Hhimura saying this made me chuckle.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:13Yeahx41

Why not commit seppuku?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:16

>>2If Battousai can assist me in seppuku, that would be my greatest desire.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:15Yeahx27

If you want such a proud death, then you can just cut your own stomach.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:15

Well, if you want to act like a warrior, go ahead and commit seppuku on your own.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:41Yeahx7

>>4>If you want a death so full of pride, then you can just gut yourself.Read it before you speak.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:42Yeahx10

>>26Didn’t Yahiko say the same thing?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:44Yeahx9

>>27Yahiko didn’t go as far as to say “commit seppuku”…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:18

I’m embarrassed!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:19Yeahx37

I understand the frustration of not being able to be killed, but…
So ultimately what they’re going to do is fire the Armstrong cannon into the city… There’s a limit to losing one’s dignity, you know.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:29

>>8The contrast is too extreme precisely because he had been rather gentlemanly until the very last moment.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:31Yeahx2

>>99“It’s revenge to the extent that it’s because you didn’t kill him back then that this kind of guy was born…”

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:25

Well, I want to fight and die as a warrior, so I think it’s a bit of a misinterpretation to take my own life.
What I did for revenge is too much, though.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:25Yeahx2

“Just go and fight and die on another battlefield.”

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:26Yeahx1

The six comrades have no room for sympathy…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:27

Well, after killing so many people, I wonder what good it does to talk about not killing now.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:30

>>12Revolutionaries have to be murderers until they die, don’t they?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:28Yeahx16

If I had attacked from behind, you might have cut me down, so it’s Kujiranami’s fault.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:31Yeahx15

As a result, the unrelated akabeko cannon fire is the pride of the samurai (lol).

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:41Yeahx6

>>15It’s because Battousai didn’t properly kill.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:32

Vengeful people are all selfish in their own way.
I wish it had been a past that would evoke a little more sympathy…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:32

“Go and challenge Shishio and die.”

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:33

If these guys are only targeting Battousai, it would maintain some legitimacy, but I really dislike that they unnecessarily spread the flames…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:34Yeahx1

>>18Because half of them have a grudge against Battousai.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:07Yeahx4

>>18If there is legitimacy, it would become a work where it’s thought that the protagonist should die, even though it’s a jump manga…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:33

Don’t think that the strong will get the results that the weak desire in a world of justice.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:33Yeahx10

It’s a problem that just coming here to review is still better than nothing.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:36Yeahx6

In the first place, it ends up being something where you can criticize the Meiji government.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:37

By transforming into Battosai, I will become a samurai in another world with a heart like a whale wave.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:39

Isn’t it enough to just challenge someone who will properly kill you?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:43Yeahx1

Hara-kiri with one hand seems difficult.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:45

>>28There are methods of suicide other than seppuku.
Cutting someone’s throat or stabbing them with a dagger is more common than gutting them.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:44

Considering your arm is cut off, you’re surprisingly lively, aren’t you?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:44

If your arm gets cut off, just die on the spot.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:45Yeahx7

Well, I actually think it’s going too far to chop off an arm.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:47

>>33Well, that’s true.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:45

To be honest, I think it’s questionable to make someone a cripple.
Couldn’t you make a return blade or something?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:46Yeahx6

If you’re going to complain that it’s difficult to perform seppuku with one hand, then you shouldn’t have the privilege to speak about the samurai way in the first place.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:47

If you’re going to commit seppuku, it requires quite a bit of preparation and a number of people.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:48

The tragedy was that the whale waves were so strong that they couldn’t hold back.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:50Yeahx14

Well, I think it’s quite cruel to expect the disabled rebel army to live in a new era.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:51Yeahx7

There may be an element to it that it became distorted because it was kept alive inappropriately.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:51

Because I have one arm, I can’t commit seppuku or fight.
“Drink even the boiled down clay from Iba Hachiro’s nails.”

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:52

If your arm is cut off, you could die quickly if you don’t stop the bleeding.
You must have desperately tried to stop the bleeding, you coward.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:53

I might have seen a serious anti-Walrus Wave for the first time.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:54

Is there really anyone who likes this guy?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:54

If I forced myself to attack after the thread image, maybe it would have killed me.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:54

If it were the sword of Aozora-dono, I could have performed a returning slash…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:58

I remember laughing a bit when the red beko crushing cannon looked just like Bullet’s heavy shot.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:01Yeahx2

So much resentment that in the live-action version, there was no opportunity for redemption, and after being beaten by Kenshin, I was apprehended by the police.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:01

There are thoughts that while things like the pride of warriors or death at battle shone exceptionally during the late Edo period, they were likely taken away during the stable times of the Edo period…

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:02Yeahx3

I didn’t go to Aizu or Goryokaku either.
I skipped over the Satsuma Rebellion as well.
Seeking a warrior’s death.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:05

If you’re going to have an arm amputated, you have to desperately stop the bleeding and receive treatment afterward, or you’ll die. The fact that you survived means you wanted to live in a new era.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:07

Rather, it’s surprising that there are people who call themselves warriors during the Bakumatsu period.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:13

>>53It was the last era of the samurai…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:08

If it were the end of the Edo period, they would be here…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:08

The weak cannot choose how to die.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:11

If Battosai is targeting only me as his objective, then…
Just like in the blue-purple times, he will also respond to duels.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:13Yeahx8

It’s no wonder if people hold a grudge against you for telling them to live in a new era after taking away an arm…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:17

>>57It’s cheap compared to life…!

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:13

It’s not just this guy, but if only he had properly aimed for Kenshin.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:15Yeahx2

The author thinks that if there were no restrictions from publishing in a boys’ magazine, it would likely lead to a truly hopeless story due to their peculiar preferences.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:16

It’s stupid, but I like losing to Yahiko.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:17

Making a vengeful person into a monk-like avenger…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:20Yeahx1

>>63If you have a legitimate cause or ideology, then instead of being just an ordinary assassin who has resigned from a government position, you should go to the Meiji government.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:22Yeahx2

>>70The monk is a highly accomplished avenger, but if he were like the monk, it would make Kenshin look bad…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:17Yeahx2

If I find out that the person I made handicapped is living comfortably and not falling into ruin, I can understand wanting to completely destroy everything.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:18Yeahx2

Well, as a warrior, it’s probably a claim with some degree of legitimacy.
This is all Batoosai’s fault, Batoosai.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:19

Live in discomfort, being watched with peculiar eyes by the new era, with one arm.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:19

It boils down to the result of the clash and the fact that being weak is to blame.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:19

I also wish you would consider the perspective of those who have to kill.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:21Yeahx3

>>69I think it’s reasonable to get angry about not wanting to kill people anymore after having killed so many in the past…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:25Yeahx4

>>77The reasoning behind not killing is disgusting.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:20Yeahx7

It’s brazen to think that the loser can have things done their way.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:20

Both this guy and Kenshin have their faults, but the red cow is just too pitiful.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:21

But you’re big, so there should be some work available.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:21

Not killing as much as possible is nothing but harassment.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:21

The structure of the live-action film in the Jinchu-hen was really good.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:21

In any case, it’s an added attribute to prevent Kenshin from becoming a villain, so I can’t bring myself to blame it.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:21

So, doing terrible things to the red cow crosses the line too much.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:21

“Live in the new era… but the person themselves is not adapting very well to the new era.”

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:24

>>79Even after no longer being a killer, I don’t really do anything in particular…

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:26

>>79In that regard, instead of adapting to the new era and living, I chose the harsh path of saving people with a sword, which is a weapon that kills, and that’s why I carry a reverse-blade sword.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:22

Even if your dominant arm is cut off, you’re still alive, so just accept it!!!!

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:22

It’s fine if you just want to get revenge on Kenshin, but dragging everyone else into it is really frustrating.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:22Yeahx2

Once you point a blade at someone with the intent to kill,
You can’t complain no matter what the results are.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:22Yeahx1

If possible, just let me kill you this time, okay?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:23Yeahx1

The madness that was probably meant to be expressed doesn’t come across.
It’s not that they’re doing something crazy and funny; they just seem to have a bad personality.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:24

I think the bombardment of the red cow that I was taken care of by has left a really bad impression, Mr. Kujiraami.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:24Yeahx4

I’ve killed so many already, so it’s not strange to think that I don’t want to kill anymore…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:24Yeahx1

I tried to make the theme about Kenshin’s past sins, but since a straightforward revenge would end with Kenshin being killed, there are parts where I had to involve useless people around him…

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:24

The red cow is getting too much collateral damage.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:25Yeahx3

If I had attacked here, I might have been slashed reflexively.
He did not put in enough effort.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:26Yeahx1

Since we won, it’s our freedom to kill or not to kill.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:28

If I had committed seppuku here, they would have at least performed the ritual decapitation, right?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:28

Before the place of death, the assertion by the Restoration patriots that they are taking away the pride of warriors and the era from themselves may be the sign of someone who is already in a dangerous state.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:31

>>96I feel like there are a lot of guys like this in this manga…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:31

>>104It’s really terrible that it’s only a little better because there’s a reason.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:34Yeahx1

>>96Even if the Restoration Patriots didn’t win, the rise of firearms meant that the era of the samurai was going to end anyway, so it’s a self-serving theory.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:28

The Akabeko side is rather showing a divine response by offering a one rank higher salmon rice dish.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:29

The red cow attack and the reason for revenge are entirely too self-centered.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:29Yeahx1

If the revenge target were narrowed down to just Kenshin without involving others, I suppose it wouldn’t be criticized so harshly.
Unlike the Ten Sword, this lineup doesn’t give the impression of making a reappearance at a good and favorable time…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:29

It’s better than having a grudge against Kenshin properly…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:33

>>101The steel thing, even if it’s just for matching the number of allies in the battle, the sudden scale down of the revenge story is really crazy.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:30

Isn’t it a flag that the hole digger is from Hokkaido!?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:31

The negative impression is too strong because I crushed the red cow that provided the service.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:31

Characters who are extremely selfish but still try to come across as good people are disliked in any work, right?

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:31

A revenger with a cannon attached to a severed arm sounds like something out of Guts, but…

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:31

It seems like a time when many people are searching for a place to die like this.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:33Yeahx1

Don’t act like a victim just because you lost.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:34

>>110Well, since it’s a boys’ magazine, if the enemy side makes too much sense…
Isn’t this just a grudge? If there’s no place to drop it…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:36Yeahx1

>>114In the first place, I think it’s harder than I expected to create a legitimate avenger because in the battles of the late Edo period, most victories were by the government forces.
If you’re going to take revenge, you should do it sooner.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:33

The techniques above the Ten Blades are really cool, like the Double Peak and the Heavenly Sword.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:34Yeahx2

It’s his fault for not killing me.
So I’ll involve unrelated people and take revenge.
The thought process is like a monster…

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:34Yeahx2

A red cow that becomes a victim of a mutual push of masturbation…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:36

The weak can’t even choose how to die.
This is exactly it.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:37Yeahx1

Because a killer cannot understand the feelings of a samurai.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:38

>>119I’m just swinging my sword for a purpose…

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:38

>>119Well, I can’t understand the feelings of someone who fires an Armstrong cannon in an era where even assassins choose the path of saving rather than killing.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:37Yeahx1

It seems that even if he loses to Kenshin, he wouldn’t accept it, so it’s good that he lost to Yahiko.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:37

I wish I could be as strong and self-willed as Kenshin.
It was disappointing that I was weak and also received strange pity.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:38

I think it’s quite cruel to say to live on as a cripple in a new era.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:39Yeahx1

>>123He may be cold-hearted, but honestly, there’s no obligation for Kenshin to listen.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:39Yeahx1

It’s better than losing an arm and taking a life; I think it’s a bit of a warped sense to say that you should live in a new era.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:40

>>125It’s a battlefield!
Only after successfully neutralizing the opponent can you choose not to kill them, so there’s no room for hesitation until then.
