I thought it was okay to say that…

Someone’s wailing.

Wealth may be equal, but what does it mean when the value of goods is not equal, God?!

>>5

Isn’t it your own responsibility to have created such a system?

In the world of manga, just being good-looking is enough to stand out above the crowd…

Isn’t talking about the face a bit unnecessary?

It’s not like the Meiji era where you could get by just with your looks.

Isn’t it a world where just being good-looking like Meiji will end up being used as a plaything?

Wasn’t your head sharp?

Being able to become a rich person’s mistress gives you an advantage in surviving.

It’s not just about the face, but when you have outstanding abilities there, the odds change…

>>21

If I had a good face, I wouldn’t have ended up having to serve my backside and eating dirt, after all.

Since I don’t have anything, just the fact that I have a good appearance can also be considered an asset.

>>18

It’s a personal complex, and it doesn’t change no matter what others say.

Other things are relatively given in large portions from heaven, but what about virtue…?

The ability to swing a Gatling gun with my body is nothing ordinary.

Gatling-sai doesn’t look bad per se, but it’s not remarkable enough to stand out.

Aren’t you bowing down in apology!?

>>33

Huh…?

It feels like Kenshin is the only one who has gone through a similar life experience.

Isn’t Kyenyu living a better life in the sense that he hasn’t been sold by his family?

>>28

I know the taste of rice porridge made with soil.

>>39

Going as far as eating dirt porridge means it’s a level of famine where you suck on tree bark and roots, so I guess it’s a difference from childhood to young adulthood.

Is Kenshin older?

>>53

This guy, Kenshin, and Master Raijuta each have one difference.

It seems that there are characters like a potential Another Battousai or a Kenshin-like character who frequently take on antagonist roles.

This one was the same as well.

It is scary that there seemed to be unscrupulous merchants of evil outside the Meiji government.

Moreover, there is a possibility that the client of Udo Jinei is that person.

You have a brain, don’t you?

>>32

I don’t think it’s about being clever or coming up with a truly impressive business idea in that way.

But because he was rich and famous, he was the only one who was reported by his real name when there was interest in the child.

>>34

As someone who is privileged, I showed through my own experience that there are responsibilities that come with it, so it’s not all good things!

After my parents died from illness and I was sold to a trafficker, I narrowly survived the massacre of the older sisters I met among the bandits.

If Kenshin had been ugly, the older sisters might not have protected him and he could have died…

I wonder how this guy studied…

It’s not reconciliation, but I quite like the ending where they can forgive each other just a little bit.

They ran illegally, got beaten up, and fell back to the bottom, so they weren’t smart at that point.

Kenshin is a hero and the successor of legendary swordsmanship, but that’s just a title.

It is hard to imagine being born into poverty.

Since there are no scenes where Kenshin benefits from his good looks, it became clear that he is properly treated as a handsome man.

>>46

Isn’t it unrelated to the face?

>>50

Do you think such a development would happen if the face was Watsuki’s?

>>63

Well, there are no references to appearance in the work, so that assumption doesn’t make any sense at all.

>>79

Isn’t it that most characters in manga with unfortunate circumstances are pretty good-looking?

I think what the anonymous commenter is saying is a meta-anger directed at the idea that creative works only feature beautiful people.

In a chaotic world, learning swordsmanship that makes one famous is something only a samurai or someone of that status would do, right?

>>57

I’m glad… the rumor that Bottle-san was having an affair with the manga artist he was in charge of was just a throwaway lie!

The reason Gatling became a symbol of power that is equal for everyone is because of that perspective… that’s how it turned out.

>>54

It seems there are quite a few manga where even women and children can kill people with guns.

>>72

It’s common to see handguns, but having something like a Gatling gun in that position is a bit unconventional.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to say this, but the aspect of beauty and ugliness is something that can be said because it’s Watsuki…

Maybe there were many comments about the cover.

>>55

Nothing particularly.

I feel like Yumi-san would get angry if I told her.

As the heir to the Hiten Mitsurugi Style, I don’t have much talent, so my life has been quite difficult.

>>60

So, even though we killed the guy who originally made the drugs, sending the woman who was forced to do that to her death to atone for her sins just doesn’t sit right.

I like this guy because he is strict with Kenshin but kind to his disciples.

>>61

At first, I thought that this type of character by Watsuki was kind of dull, but when paired with Kōgyoku, it really brings out a great flavor, and I’m impressed.

In the photos from the live-action movie, he looks like a dignified man, but that’s you, Watsuki-sensei.

>>62

In the era of Rurouni Kenshin, being overweight is normal…

It’s nice that Kenshin is showing a bit of closeness after being told this in his heart.

I know about weed porridge, though.

>>64

It’s a nice relationship where we can talk to each other but can never be best friends.

The reappearance is a credit to Takarazuka.

Does Aoi Purple really have a reason to hate this guy that much?

>>70

In a way, I am a person from the underworld that operates more on trust than on the surface, but when I ignored the client’s needs and did whatever I wanted, I was discarded. So, yeah…

>>70

Well, the current situation is such that it doesn’t feel like we’re actively seeking to find and kill.

I just don’t know what would happen if we met directly…

>>70

From this guy’s perspective, he thinks he would be killed if he met Aoshi, but I believe Aoshi has already overcome that kind of thing.

But isn’t just being able to live a good life in good health without dying young in this era a win?

The acquittal of Heaven’s Hall is completely a personal matter for Kenshin, so it hurts when that is pointed out.

>>77

Well, who do you think you are to decide who gets judged and who is allowed based on just your shallow perspective?

Well, to be honest, it’s pretty close to a grudge, but if I were to look at their face, would I be calm about it?

>>81

Are you saying that the boss will thoughtlessly attack someone he doesn’t like, ignoring his own responsibilities and flaws?

Until the Shishio arc, Aoshi is really worthless.

You just betrayed me on your own and ended up getting countered, Oniwabanshu…

The Onibanshu were hired by the esteemed Aoishi, and it’s nice that the subordinates were his favorites.

The Manipulator might kick or throw a kunai, and while Ao-shi seems like he would glare, I don’t think he would actually try to cut.

In the first place, the fact that you gained power from rock bottom and misunderstood it to trample on others means that what you did is ultimately the same.

There is no room for the worse Kenshin, who killed people directly with his sword, to speak arrogantly.

Isn’t everyone struggling?

>>89

Well, those who are really unlucky have already died from illness in war rather than struggling first…

Kenshin is living quite freely.

I’m not working.

>>90

I think it’s awful to be treated as if I’m not working when I usually do housework and have saved the dojo in such a big crisis, defeating the likes of Shishio.

I like that Kanryuu’s dislike for Kenshin is deeply rooted.

This chapter should have been more convenient if we just straightforwardly hit Kenshin and the Sword Artist Weapon.

The ninjas are going to kill me anyway, so there’s no point in thinking about it.

It seems to be well-received here, but it’s honestly somewhat unsatisfying for the creator to turn a character depicted as a villain into a joke character themselves.

>>100

In terms of following the trend of becoming a gag character, it’s not the author themselves who did it, but rather the third one.

>>100

Because I was burned out by Takarazuka…

First of all, I only know Aoishi from the gloomy black history era, so I guess it’s only natural to think that they would retaliate out of spite.

When you closely observe Kanjaku’s actions, it really comes down to the only difference between him and Kenshin being whether the power they gained is through money or swordsmanship…

Kenshin was saying, “Aoshi is heading there, but if he goes back to prison, it’s safe,” but that won’t make anyone feel at ease, right?

>>103

It should be easy to infiltrate and go kill.

>>110

Paradoxically, if you really hated this guy as the enemy of the four of you, you would have killed him before being transported to Hokkaido.

If you were really eating rice porridge, it’s lucky that you’re still alive.

>>105

Even if I pick up money by wading through the toilet, I’m healthy and unharmed, so in a way, I’m too much of a physical elite.

In the end, the policies of each country are flowing towards a mix of CCO and Kanryu due to the tides of the times.

One example is the Meiji government, where Kenshin became one of the leading figures.

The matter of Megumi is also being used as a suitable bargaining chip by Mr. Kawaji.

>>109

There should have been more ugly minor villains in Rurouni Kenshin, so in that regard, this guy is fortunate.

He’s definitely more handsome than the number 2 from the edge or the outside impression.

Being poor is tough, but if you have a tall stature, sharp facial features, and a body that doesn’t get sick, you’d be in a winning position for sure.

I also like that Kenshin, who had a poor childhood, takes a small step forward.

Since I have connections with important people and a place to stay at the Kamiya Dojo, I don’t have to rush to work or be obsessed with money, no matter how much Kenshin speaks beautifully.

Since there’s nothing like that, I have to work and earn money, so it’s only natural that it doesn’t resonate with Alan…

Did the depiction of villains in a comical way start around “Buso Renkin”?

Up until around GBW, it was just… normal, right?

I feel like at the time of the Kanyū magazine, they were treated like a joke character due to the outrageousness of their actions, mainly through reactions and facial expressions.

It’s incorporating some elements of a gag character that was emerging outside, while still exploring it quite formally.

The interpretation that this guy was born into poverty comes from the original author following up later…

There are probably many former villains who want to say “Don’t mess with me” to Kenshin…

I’m avoiding the death penalty by using money, but I’m properly serving my sentence and I am, in a way, following the law of the authorities…

The version of myself in the movie is not a villain, but rather a dishonest merchant!! I think I was considering this aspect from that standpoint.

Even if I know the other person doesn’t hold a grudge, I don’t want to meet!

Of course, Kenshin has had his struggles, but there are probably countless others in similar circumstances who lead even more tragic lives.

It’s not that it’s an uncomfortable feeling, but to the three idiots who keep talking about money, money isn’t everything.

I can’t help but think, isn’t that not the kind of character Kenshin is?

>>131

For Kenshin, who witnessed the real Bakumatsu, it’s likely he feels that, for better or worse, money isn’t everything.

>>145

For the disciples who are trying to rise up from a poor position, it seems that you’re only able to say that because you don’t have to worry about food right now.

>>131

If everything revolves around money, it will lead to a bad direction like the old Kan-ryu.

A simple, evil person driven by greed for gold.

So it becomes a situation where we dig deeper into why we arrived at this way of thinking.

Even the judgments of hell depend on the will of the loyalists.

I can understand wanting to get angry.

>>134

To sum it up, it’s a really well-crafted story, but… what was I just shown?

>>142

Gatogato!

>>144

Disciple!!!

Hyo… Fireman!

There are some who are lucky just to be taken in by their master, Kenshin.

It’s not just luck, but the sisters who were bought by human traffickers also helped protect us from the opposition.

To be frank, Watsuki is the type that is quite openly influenced by others, so I think it’s pointless to consider the changes in their values.

Is it because of Kanyu that we can’t involve the new characters, the brats, anymore…?

If you want help, ask for money!! → I was spared from execution thanks to the power of money!! It’s really ironic.

From now on, it’s not illegal, but rather a loophole! Well, thinking of it as a business opportunity has softened quite a bit, so I guess it’s a sign of growth.

>>141

If it’s illegal, then let’s change the rules to make it legal!! To restate it, starting with a law revision is a legitimate political procedure.

In terms of the point that the principle of non-killing, which saves even the worst villains who are said to deserve death, bears fruit.

I often think that this man embodies the theme of the work to the extent that he wasn’t consuming this at Muji.

I like the feeling that, as Kenshin himself says, the values of the world are changing.

>>147

The way of thinking characteristic of Kenshin has become a relic left behind by a bygone era.

A clash between relics, along with swordsmen weapons trying to go against the times…

Yamagata-san: “Are you still troubled even though you are a part of the splendid restoration?”

In a world where the principle of equality among the four classes is a mere slogan, prioritizing money over connections with the restoration patriots is, in a sense, more healthy.

It feels like I’m a weakling who lost to the observer, but the swordsman weapon who endured the Gatling until the reload is really strong, isn’t he?

>>152

They are definitely strong, but looking at the results, they can’t win against modern weapons.

>>152

Alone, the Gatling gun is overwhelmingly strong.

When I think about the subject of these guys, being on par with one of the mass-produced weapons handled by amateurs…

>>152

That guy isn’t originally a combat personnel, you know.

I think they have gathered quite a capable team if even someone of that level can endure about one magazine’s worth.

This time, Kenshin is telling Kiryuu, “If you cooperate, I will make it so that the escape never happened.”

It feels like I don’t want to cooperate with someone like you.

Money doesn’t make everything come true, but…

Most things can be solved with money.

Originally, Whale Wave was supposed to serve as the role to prove the meaning of non-killing.

But it didn’t turn out that way.

>>159

Living as a person with one arm cut off and on a single wheel is too harsh…

The Hokkaido edition is a journey where various values change, remain unchanged, or are affirmed, and it feels like the end of the Rurouni Kenshin world as well.

However, if they are defeated by outdated modern weapons, then there is no meaning to the existence of swordsman weapons.

Sure enough, these guys are already defeated from the concept itself.

There might be many ways to operate as a strong human, but it’s too weak to be called a weapon.

With just one master trained to the point of death, it’s really not enough to compete against an old-style Gatling gun.

Conversely, it has only shown the usefulness of weapons that even ordinary people can use to defeat masters.

>>166

Well, if you’re going to call it a weapon, then you should be at least as exceptional as Fujii before you say that.

>>169

It’s more like mass production; multiple users in the same family from the attic can definitely call themselves weapons with more love.

>>166

Considering that the times will progress even further from here,

Weapons are obviously stronger, that’s why.

The swordsman weapon will bloom one last time! It’s happening.

>>170

A group of people preparing for death that is just too bothersome…

To create warriors capable of opposing foreign powers, we will create hell and impose massive sacrifices, as those who have endured hell will be able to win.

If I lose to those two merchants who are using weapons they picked up around here…

Even young people, because Yahiko has roots in the samurai class and parents who take pride in that, and since Kenshin is directly his lifesaver, the way they interact is completely different.

It seems that just like the alchemist from Fullmetal Alchemist was a threat despite being outmatched in firepower by weapons due to cost and maneuverability, the person from Shoshosh is also likely capable of operations beyond that of a Gatling gun.

>>171

These guys were the ones who rejected the proposal to cooperate with the government for special forces-like operations…

>>171

I think it would be fine if it were for something like a hitman or bodyguard.

It’s better to have ten amateurs armed with rifles on the battlefield.

>>171

In the end, the fact that you gather a large number of promising candidates and only about 10% remain is completely out of the question.

What the country needs moving forward is the elite troops who were waving the flag even though they ultimately lost to these guys.

>>171

If there are support personnel with guns or explosive rounds, just having a shield would be really strong.

Kenshin didn’t rise to power, but rather became a man slayer for the sake of the world.

Kaoru is kind-hearted and isn’t the type to demand money out of pride like Yajiko, who is also a former samurai.

Sanosuke usually eats and drinks without paying, so he’s not interested in making money.

If they confront the new values of the three fools born in the Meiji era there, it might be quite confusing…

>>177

It’s a thug sushi…

>>178

The kill score isn’t that high…

From the person’s perspective, it may be disgraceful, but even with the fame of being Battousai and a decent position thanks to connections with influential people, hearing “the world isn’t about money!” is still…

That’s because you are someone on the privileged side with status and fame… it’s only natural to think that way.

I’ve heard that the Meiji era was a time when almost no executions were carried out.

The reason for surviving was so obvious that I could accept it.

People like the mole could have been very active around the time of the Russo-Japanese War.

In the first place, the Gatling gun was such that Kenshin and Aoshi had to exhaust its ammo using the sacrifice of the Oniwaban.

It has a quite high level of strength within the story.

It looks like the Kumagawa River or something.

It is definitely worthy of execution that a fencing weapon lost to two amateurs using outdated weapons…

Kanyuu is indeed a remarkable talent who can land headshots accurately with that old-fashioned Gatling gun, which is designed for indiscriminate spraying without any regard for hit accuracy.

It’s the flow of the times… Kenshin is doing well, but Saito seems to be unable to bite back.

Nagakura seems to be handling things well, taking in a variety of information.

They are people who have been stuck in their situation for hundreds of years, simply losing the opportunity to see the light of day each time.

The bat that seems to have the most usage.
