Don’t talk about my sister! What do you know about her!
I killed the whole family that helped me in Shanghai.
>>1Maybe I should have continued to depict feelings of loss and inferiority instead of quickly wrapping up the explanation over there.
>>14Was it because they looked so happy after killing their family that it made me angry?
There’s nothing I can do about it.
Character
An incomplete place to help Kaoru.
Involved others besides Kenshin.
It’s the part that came out after Shishio.
Things you don’t understand about your older sister.
The author wavered.
The outcome was determined by a simple technique.
>>8The Dragon Roar Flash towards this guy and the Earth Dragon Flash towards Master Raijuta.
I wonder what the deal is with the blandness of countermeasures against strong characters at crucial moments…
>>12In the case of Mr. Raijuta, I don’t think we can say it’s meta since, regardless of the Flying Dragon Flash, one should have been cautious of the enemy’s projectile attacks in the first place.
Even without the flying dragon flash, it seemed like just throwing one hidden weapon would be enough to take me down.
>>8The fierce tiger has no momentum to land.
The severity of weekly serialization
Reliable companions are
Everyone is a bad person.
I don’t think this guy is a legitimate avenger.
Kenshin, you have to cut your belly cleanly…
>>11Metaphorically speaking, it’s true, but it’s already a time when revenge is legally prohibited, so it’s definitely not acceptable.
>>16If you bring up such a law…
The Kenshin group is full of criminals…
>>30So it ends up being a contest of swords because there’s no relation to the law.
I think there is also a problem with Tsubame, who is in love with her enemy.
>>13What do you know about my sister!!!
>>13They’re saying they acted out, but in the end, they acknowledge it, and from the way they say “I’ve stolen my sister’s happiness,” they admit that the person could have made their sister happy.
They sold a non-durable boat at an overpriced cost.
>>15The problem lies with the person who said they would buy it at any price.
The glasses are too showy.
As a vengeful spirit, it’s simply a piece of trash.
I think it’s the result of being overly considerate of the protagonist.
I didn’t understand my sister.
The revised version has a more hopeless feeling, so it’s been toned down a bit.
>>25It would be more interesting for the flow of the story if that came along.
Even if I take it down, I probably won’t feel refreshed at all.
It feels like Tomoe’s true self has come to Kenshin, but this siscon is just a delusion, isn’t it?
I would have liked for the vengeful spirit to act more like a vengeful spirit.
If it’s to massacre a family in Shanghai, then that’s fine too.
But what do you mean by “I couldn’t kill Kaoru”?
One should not do anything for the sake of revenge.
If you are confident in your arm, send a challenge letter and have a duel!
>>32…fool.
Kenshin, with his sword hanging down, is also a criminal…
It is a reverse-blade sword.
Nature
If it weren’t for the fact that my family, who picked me up, was killed, I could have sympathized…
I think it’s quite common in revenge stories to harm and torment the person’s loved ones before ultimately killing the person themselves.
The noise of my family in Shanghai being killed and my companions being nothing but useless people is too much.
It wasn’t a foe that should have appeared in a shonen manga.
In the first place, why didn’t I charge at Kenshin right there after seeing my sister’s death?
They are all strange guys, even as avengers…
It’s really strange to think that I didn’t kill Kaoru after all.
Well, it’s not like I wanted Kaoru to die or anything.
If it weren’t for that kind of avenger, Kenshin would be at a disadvantage more and more…
>>43Making them a proper avenger may have actually simplified the story.
>>55To make the comrades active, we need to gather enough enemies, and if everyone becomes a proper avenger, Kenshin would be in trouble!
It would be troubling if something like the Four Saints appeared!
>>61Don’t think you can make everyone equally active in a revenge story!
Maybe without going to Shanghai, I can just grow normally and face things one-on-one.
“I just can’t forgive you, please die.”
While I was challenging to take revenge, Kenshin died.
It’s bad that Watsuki wants to draw dark stories.
I wonder what kind of technique “kofukuzettou” is…
I understand that it’s a technique that briefly lowers and then spins while ascending…
>>46It’s like a spinning slice thrust attack that strikes after sinking into the ground, version zero.
The friends I brought along are also here for rather trivial reasons for revenge…
I keep hearing nothing but venomous things.
I actually quite like the character who has a complex of feeling proud of their home while also resenting how their body has turned out because of it.
Boys’ manga appearance
I should have become a figure sculptor.
So I guess it was a judgment that I couldn’t make it, huh…
If a proper avenger comes, I bet Kenshin would secretly be glad and go to be defeated.
>>52If that’s the case, isn’t En offering his neck before talking about the benefactor’s family?
>>52I think it would have been better if Kenshin had just died normally in the final episode.
As long as a story involves killing someone in any form, it concludes with the message that they should not lead a proper life and should die.
>>106You must be quite lucky to have such a happy head.
>>106While Saito and various other people are living energetically and taking swift action against evil, why is it that only Kenshin has died? Doesn’t that conclusion seem a bit off?
>>106It looks like a considerable number of people are going to die…
>>106The Meiji government and Saito are both coming to an end.
>>119On the contrary, all countries around the world would collapse.
I remember that the live-action version had a good balance.
Although it’s quite abbreviated, the ending of the OVA of En is actually not bad at all.
It was precisely because of the battle with Enishi that I found the answer to completing a life of struggle, so it’s a positive thing for Kenshin…
It was a siscon who was a bit mentally unstable, regardless of Kenshin.
The biggest failure pattern is when the readers think Kenshin is the worst, causing their affection for the protagonist to decrease…
It turned out like this because I tried to avoid it.
There are issues with the scale, but the connection in the Seisou chapter has become quite decent.
I was quite looking forward to how they would organize the connection after reading my sister’s diary, especially in the Hokkaido chapter.
I hope you quietly die in a homeless village since it would be sad no matter what you do now.
A double jump would be overdoing it!
>>67Aoshi: “With a long blade and supple muscles, it is not impossible.”
But the quality of the masked character was good.
>>68“Someone who usually wears a mask can’t possibly be handsome, right?!”
>>73Let’s seriously stop with that contrarian approach, teacher…
>>81Got it, then I made it a handsome guy.
Is this good enough!?
>>89(nasal mucus)
Regardless of their own actions, they really do not bring decent companions…
>>69This is my last party! (Quadruplet Bald)
If you had witnessed the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, you would have chased after Kenshin.
The author made this character a truly corrupted villain because they had no choice but to kill Kenshin, as they genuinely believe he is the true avenger.
The one who ran away.
Then don’t bring out someone like that!
>>74It’s not just Mr. Raijuta, but they often try to tackle themes that they can’t quite handle…
>>85The character design really brings out something amazing…
>>85But after aging, even top-notch writers found themselves failing at things like this…
I’ve come to think that spitting out information is really valuable.
>>74I think it was necessary to face the past, in that sense…
A mere kid getting a jewel in Shanghai and having funds for the military seems like a reason to celebrate, but it could easily lead to being beaten up and having it taken away.
I forcefully became a loser to make Kenshin fight.
Although it was a bit disappointing as an actual story, the popularity of the protagonist Kenshin has remained high even after the series ended, with sequels being made and still ranking among the top of Jump’s protagonists.
If Uozumi were Kenshin, he would have been instantaneously killed with the Dragon Roar Flash.
>>79“Having someone like Usui is enough for the heart, right?”
>>79Who is it?!
>>83(Is it Akagi’s father…)
The wealth that allows for owning multiple Purgatories is so incredible that it makes me cry at the difference from Lord Shishio.
Kenshin wouldn’t just die, even if this guy’s wrongdoing had legitimacy; he would normally go for the win.
So, getting others involved is, when only considering revenge, actually the right thing; if I had properly killed Kaoru, it would have been completed.
First of all, a revenge story… or rather a story about getting revenge, would never be popular in a magazine like Shonen Jump.
Revenge is meant to be refreshing or give the readers a sense of relief.
I have a sad past, but that’s that; I’m a piece of trash!
The mafia boss from Shanghai or Hong Kong that year seems quite more like fantasy in the story…
“Even though I made him handsome in the cinema version, he’s unpopular… why…”
>>92At the point where you’re using such a gag ending, you clearly had no intention at all, Watsuki.
>>92It’s fine to make him good-looking, but what will you do by making him a fool?
It’s all the fault of those guys called the Restoration Government.
I should have gone to America and become a singer while playing the guitar.
Is it really Kenshin’s fault that Tomoe died?
>>96Directly, it’s a subtle matter because Kaoru, influenced by Kenshin, went to protect him with a wavering sense of revenge.
Because of this guy, I ended up spending three-fifths of all my savings to buy a worthless ship that was sunk by a single grenade from Shishio-sama.
>>97Even today, it’s impossible to create a grenade that has that size and power besides a nuclear bomb.
That hand grenade is just especially strange…
Mr. Raijuta has been completed with the new anime… It took time, but…
>>99(So you’re going to reappear in the Hokkaido edition…)
“From the perspective of a vengeful person.”
I like the unfathomable connection that has a laid-back vibe like a product with a casual tone.
At that time, heavy stories were popular.
In other magazines and the film industry, it was all about the dark route.
Well, it’s a subtype of recent exile-themed stories, a “revenge story.”
Making the story interesting when the protagonist is on the receiving end of revenge is quite a challenge.
I feel there are times when you have strange assumptions about things that aren’t really the topic at hand.
“People say the popularity has decreased because the outer appearance looks like an old man…”
Shinsengumi → Muryō Eishi → Akihōtai → A real historical figure whose background seems like an original character from Rurouni Kenshin.
Although Tomoe is making some pretty poor moves, it would be harsh to say that to a samurai’s daughter.
The fact that Kenshin was the protagonist.
I feel that multiple bald spots are a strong ally when it comes to really struggling with brainstorming ideas.
In the OVA, there is a sense of hope in the conclusion, as the protagonist challenges Kenshin alone without any companions and ultimately witnesses Kenshin’s way of life.
>>114I haven’t seen it, but this seems okay…
Isn’t it unfair that you’re all bad people together?
Kenshin seems like a good person, doesn’t he?
>>118Starting to involve others in your revenge is just pathetic, isn’t it?
The live-action version stopping the evil deeds but accepting revenge is also a flaw because the ending is too perfect.
There are limits to how much you can elaborate on a story in a weekly serialized format, right?
>>121But well, that’s the job, and if you can’t even do that at a minimum…
>>134In that sense, it might be a compromise, but it seems that the main story concluded as a shonen manga without falling apart.
Well, it’s just that it’s difficult.
So, should I have just died from syphilis after serving society?
>>124Yes
i
I understand that you want to make “Fullmetal Alchemist” a darker story, but there are things that suit and don’t suit it, right, teacher?!
>>125Kazuki Bravo is popular and has a nice personality.
The Papillon is dark, but it can be dark.
>>125The embalming that I started mainly focusing on the dark route ended up like that.
If the content was about the Nameless one here acting tough and wanting Kenshin to receive his punishment and that’s the end of it, I think it would have been really boring overall.
There are people who think things like “This guy committed murder, so he has no right to be happy. He should just die quickly.”
In the anime, I guess they will change the matter regarding the family that helped.
That hand grenade is just like the U.S. military’s quick-sync, using bubble pulse.
Someone who is connected for practical reasons but has a different purpose.
Well, I can understand, but it’s way too much ×2.
Someone who just wants to rampage.
Someone who just wants to enjoy killing.
Isn’t it quite strong that someone who isn’t originally a swordsman and is in a mentally unstable state can completely succeed in the meta and still be able to put it up?
>>132Kenshin’s physical abilities are poor for using the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, and Yahiko will even be able to break swords with his bare hands.
In this world, many people become quite extraordinary regardless of their natural talent if they train hard.
Kenshin was a victim who could be easily defeated, but taking advantage of that, I turned him into a worthless piece of trash that grew into a loser.
>>135Since I was a little brat from the beginning, I grew up fairly normally…
Just because a murderer can’t live a proper life in their past life doesn’t mean that they can’t at all…
A rare manga that features a group of four balding guys who are side characters in two sets.
The ninjas didn’t actually kill that many people, did they?
>>139It’s just that they couldn’t fight during the Bakumatsu, so I have no idea how many were killed during the ten years of the Meiji era.
The boss isn’t really the type to hesitate when it comes to murder either.
>>156Abukuma Four-Entry!
If you follow the theory that if you commit a crime, you should die, then almost everyone except young people will die.
Syphilis has been transmitted to Kaoru, and he seems satisfied, so it’s even worse.
Well, of course, Kenro would go off the rails.
A character that should not be revealed, based on the theme of the work and the protagonist’s beliefs.
>>142I don’t want to work! I absolutely do not want to work!
Even though he was with the rebel army, there are still people like Hajime-chan who live a long life and die of natural causes while breathing in the delicious air.
>>143You’ve taken a position that looks enviable, like that of a girls’ school janitor or something similar…
I won’t allow you to die at the moment of your death! You should continue to help the weak until you are exhausted while still alive!
Kenshin doesn’t have the motivation, but he knows so many friends from the Restoration, so if he ever gets the motivation, he could become a powerful figure anytime, and that’s really scary.
>>150It goes against the principles of the style, and if you do it, you would have to abandon the sword, but from the perspective of the Meiji government, it would be better to have Kenshin under scrutiny.
It was serialised in a boys’ magazine.
If the thread picture is a proper avenger, then Kenshin is trash…
The reason my sister’s standards for behavior are all over the place is because of that, so I guess you could say Batto-sai has softened a bit…
While my mind and body were in tatters and I was feeling dazed, I understood that I wanted to create a character like this for the first time, shielding Kaoru from a deadly shot like an older sister, and I found myself liking it…
At least when you had a fiancée, you were decent, Toma.
>>157If I could have just smiled brightly in front of my fiancé, that alone could have prevented the tragedy.
>>157He’s so socially awkward that he misunderstands that he can’t go on like this without any charm at all.
The author has an unnecessary sense of conscience, so they unnecessarily apply the brakes, causing the momentum of the work to stop, as seen in the two consecutive instances after Kenshin.
Well, it’s not really suited for a boys’ magazine to begin with…
However, when it comes to judging Kenshin, then the successful figures who commissioned the assassination during the Meiji Restoration are equally guilty, and since they are the ones who made the request, their guilt becomes even greater…
Kanyuu is also the main culprit who spread opium all over Tokyo and has likely killed a considerable number of people.
>>160The logic that it’s better than those who are just getting by and pretending in a more casual way in court…
>>174Money is amazing!
>>174But if you killed someone, you have to face the consequences and die.
>>174Since they spread money around to skew the verdict, it’s not even a proper judgment.
It was just that I used money instead of connections, and it wasn’t enough.
If there were a character that made Kenshin, who swore not to kill, kill someone, it might have worked well.
If it had ended with Jinei, it would have been the most beautifully concluded, but it would definitely have felt lacking.
There are those who, despite being from the rebel army, become police officers and arrogantly say “swift execution for evil!”
I understand there’s determination, but I haven’t really grasped how your unusual sword technique could match Kenshin.
>>168Are you mocking Master Raijuta, who developed Blade Light Wave through a handbook he found and self-study in the mountain?
Since En survived, it would have been better to earn a day-to-day income and live quietly.
This chapter really does unnecessary things like bombing the whale wave’s eating place and killing the rich, huh…
It’s already a step above in terms of revenge stories.
The protagonist is not the one seeking revenge, but rather the one being avenged.
The problem is that the ending is too trivial rather than being about old men.
There are so many cool points, like the strength of the fingers that can support 200kg and the fact that a puppeteer can’t be weaker than the puppet.
>>172I understand the obsession with wanting to retrieve a lifelike corpse doll that is almost indistinguishable from a real body, as well as the frustration of having it exposed and burned.
Why did you suddenly change your character?
If Tomoe hadn’t protected him, Battousai would have died, so it’s a difficult situation.
The only ones acting as vengeful spirits are the somewhat resentful Kiranami and Venom among the companions.
>>175It seems that there weren’t as many avengers as expected when trying to gather people to establish a vendetta.
Like Saito, Kenshin is also in a position where he can come to terms if he wants to, but it would destroy the theme of Rurouni Kenshin…
I think live-action is the best balance when it comes to connections.
“The fact that your anger isn’t wrong, but the way you live is wrong,” is a good ending after Kenshin advises and apologizes.
>>181I like that there’s a sense of limit in the fact that I can’t kill Kaoru and that no matter how hard I try, the rejection reaction comes out to the extent that I vomit when I think of my sister.
>>181It’s nice that Enishi is surprised to see Kenshin face a tanto head-on.
The enemy character’s forced evil deeds and the useless mid-boss meant to challenge the allies.
It feels like the consciousness of having to stick to shonen manga around here is strangely restraining.
I can’t help but think that the conversation about the sins of being a killer might be included in the determination to live that was cut off when mastering the Tenkou Ryuusen.
>>183Everything else is fine, but you can’t just overlook the issue with Tomoe, can you?
Both my sister and brother are a mess.
Which is more malicious, avoiding the death penalty through money and serving time or getting acquitted through a connection with Kenshin?
>>185Both are trash for being murderers, so both should die.
>>190Oh dear, the establishment of the Meiji government has been denied!
>>204If Kenshin had this mentality, it would probably end around volume 2 of the Jinchu arc.
>>185We also have to consider the side that was threatened along with the main culprit.
It was a mistake for my fiancé to come to Kyoto during the late Edo period like an idiot.
>>188It’s an era where being weak is considered bad.
I thought that since my master said something like he doesn’t regret wielding his sword for those in trouble in Kyoto, he must be prepared to live with the burden of killing.
How can I be forgiven…? I was like, “What the …?”
That movie often provides quite a good complement, doesn’t it…
>>192I wonder what happened to Gaoin, who became a handsome dual-wielding gun user.
It wasn’t originally planned to be this much of a hit at the time of the first work, so maybe they made a lot of arrangements.
>>200It was originally planned to be just one work.
>>200Regarding the external impression, the author also felt that the character development was lacking.
I was reflecting back because of the bonus pages in the paperback…
The true face of a masked character is either good-looking or resembles someone who has appeared in the past.
If there’s no surprise, there’s no point in going out of your way to create a masked character.
By the time of the main story, Takeo Enomoto had also been released from his confinement and was rapidly rising in status.
It’s a time where it’s quite serious to be talking about revenge at this point…
I also like the scene where Midori walks lonely on the sandy beach after the battle in the OVA, leaving behind Kenshin and the others.
I think it’s a fortunate work that has scenes where it somehow makes a comeback, like with movies, the Hokkaido edition, or the second time around with anime.
>>198Every time he appears, the way he gets defeated changes, but I’m still not quite satisfied with Rengoku-san…
Supporting the assassin who killed my fiancé makes no sense at all; that’s exactly right.
