[Rurouni Kenshin] I wonder what went wrong.

Otaku Review Image

Don’t talk about my sister! What do you know about her!

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:09Yeahx71

I killed the whole family that helped me in Shanghai.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:15

>>1Maybe I should have continued to depict feelings of loss and inferiority instead of quickly wrapping up the explanation over there.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:22

>>14Was it because they looked so happy after killing their family that it made me angry?
There’s nothing I can do about it.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:09Yeahx24

Character

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:09Yeahx4

An incomplete place to help Kaoru.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:10Yeahx4

Involved others besides Kenshin.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:10Yeahx18

It’s the part that came out after Shishio.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:10

Things you don’t understand about your older sister.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:11Yeahx28

The author wavered.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:11

The outcome was determined by a simple technique.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:14Yeahx2

>>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…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:19

>>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.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:41Yeahx1

>>8The fierce tiger has no momentum to land.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:12Yeahx8

The severity of weekly serialization

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:13

Reliable companions are
Everyone is a bad person.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:14

I don’t think this guy is a legitimate avenger.
Kenshin, you have to cut your belly cleanly…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:18

>>11Metaphorically speaking, it’s true, but it’s already a time when revenge is legally prohibited, so it’s definitely not acceptable.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:24

>>16If you bring up such a law…
The Kenshin group is full of criminals…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:25

>>30So it ends up being a contest of swords because there’s no relation to the law.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:15Yeahx12

I think there is also a problem with Tsubame, who is in love with her enemy.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:19Yeahx5

>>13What do you know about my sister!!!

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:20

>>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.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:16

They sold a non-durable boat at an overpriced cost.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:18Yeahx2

>>15The problem lies with the person who said they would buy it at any price.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:18

The glasses are too showy.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:20

As a vengeful spirit, it’s simply a piece of trash.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:20Yeahx6

I think it’s the result of being overly considerate of the protagonist.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:20

I didn’t understand my sister.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:21

The revised version has a more hopeless feeling, so it’s been toned down a bit.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:23

>>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.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:22

It feels like Tomoe’s true self has come to Kenshin, but this siscon is just a delusion, isn’t it?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:24Yeahx11

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”?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:26

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!

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:28

>>32…fool.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:28

Kenshin, with his sword hanging down, is also a criminal…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:28

It is a reverse-blade sword.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:29

Nature

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:29

If it weren’t for the fact that my family, who picked me up, was killed, I could have sympathized…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:29Yeahx10

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.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:29

It wasn’t a foe that should have appeared in a shonen manga.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:31

In the first place, why didn’t I charge at Kenshin right there after seeing my sister’s death?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:31Yeahx2

They are all strange guys, even as avengers…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:33Yeahx3

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.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:33

If it weren’t for that kind of avenger, Kenshin would be at a disadvantage more and more…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:38Yeahx5

>>43Making them a proper avenger may have actually simplified the story.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:39

>>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!

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:40Yeahx8

>>61Don’t think you can make everyone equally active in a revenge story!

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:33Yeahx5

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.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:34

It’s bad that Watsuki wants to draw dark stories.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:35

I wonder what kind of technique “kofukuzettou” is…
I understand that it’s a technique that briefly lowers and then spins while ascending…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:37

>>46It’s like a spinning slice thrust attack that strikes after sinking into the ground, version zero.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:35

The friends I brought along are also here for rather trivial reasons for revenge…

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:35

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.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:35

Boys’ manga appearance

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:36

I should have become a figure sculptor.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:36

So I guess it was a judgment that I couldn’t make it, huh…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:36

If a proper avenger comes, I bet Kenshin would secretly be glad and go to be defeated.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:39

>>52If that’s the case, isn’t En offering his neck before talking about the benefactor’s family?

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45Yeahx1

>>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.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

>>106You must be quite lucky to have such a happy head.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

>>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?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47

>>106It looks like a considerable number of people are going to die…

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47

>>106The Meiji government and Saito are both coming to an end.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47

>>119On the contrary, all countries around the world would collapse.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:37

I remember that the live-action version had a good balance.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:38

Although it’s quite abbreviated, the ending of the OVA of En is actually not bad at all.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:38

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…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:38

It was a siscon who was a bit mentally unstable, regardless of Kenshin.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:39

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.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:39Yeahx1

There are issues with the scale, but the connection in the Seisou chapter has become quite decent.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:40

I was quite looking forward to how they would organize the connection after reading my sister’s diary, especially in the Hokkaido chapter.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:40

I hope you quietly die in a homeless village since it would be sad no matter what you do now.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:40

A double jump would be overdoing it!

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:41Yeahx2

>>67Aoshi: “With a long blade and supple muscles, it is not impossible.”

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:40

But the quality of the masked character was good.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:41Yeahx1

>>68“Someone who usually wears a mask can’t possibly be handsome, right?!”

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:42Yeahx4

>>73Let’s seriously stop with that contrarian approach, teacher…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43

>>81Got it, then I made it a handsome guy.
Is this good enough!?

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:49

>>89(nasal mucus)

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:40Yeahx11

Regardless of their own actions, they really do not bring decent companions…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:41

>>69This is my last party! (Quadruplet Bald)

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:41Yeahx2

If you had witnessed the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, you would have chased after Kenshin.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:41Yeahx4

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!

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43

>>74It’s not just Mr. Raijuta, but they often try to tackle themes that they can’t quite handle…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

>>85The character design really brings out something amazing…

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45Yeahx1

>>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.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43Yeahx1

>>74I think it was necessary to face the past, in that sense…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:41

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.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:42

I forcefully became a loser to make Kenshin fight.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:42Yeahx1

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.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:42

If Uozumi were Kenshin, he would have been instantaneously killed with the Dragon Roar Flash.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:42

>>79“Having someone like Usui is enough for the heart, right?”

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:42Yeahx1

>>79Who is it?!

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43

>>83(Is it Akagi’s father…)

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:42

The wealth that allows for owning multiple Purgatories is so incredible that it makes me cry at the difference from Lord Shishio.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43

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.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43

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.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43Yeahx3

I have a sad past, but that’s that; I’m a piece of trash!

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:43

The mafia boss from Shanghai or Hong Kong that year seems quite more like fantasy in the story…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

“Even though I made him handsome in the cinema version, he’s unpopular… why…”

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

>>92At the point where you’re using such a gag ending, you clearly had no intention at all, Watsuki.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45

>>92It’s fine to make him good-looking, but what will you do by making him a fool?

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

It’s all the fault of those guys called the Restoration Government.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

I should have gone to America and become a singer while playing the guitar.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

Is it really Kenshin’s fault that Tomoe died?

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

>>96Directly, it’s a subtle matter because Kaoru, influenced by Kenshin, went to protect him with a wavering sense of revenge.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

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.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45

>>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…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:44

Mr. Raijuta has been completed with the new anime… It took time, but…

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

>>99(So you’re going to reappear in the Hokkaido edition…)

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45

“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.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45

At that time, heavy stories were popular.
In other magazines and the film industry, it was all about the dark route.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45

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.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45Yeahx1

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…”

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:45

Shinsengumi → Muryō Eishi → Akihōtai → A real historical figure whose background seems like an original character from Rurouni Kenshin.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

Although Tomoe is making some pretty poor moves, it would be harsh to say that to a samurai’s daughter.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

The fact that Kenshin was the protagonist.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

I feel that multiple bald spots are a strong ally when it comes to really struggling with brainstorming ideas.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:46

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.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47

>>114I haven’t seen it, but this seems okay…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47Yeahx1

Isn’t it unfair that you’re all bad people together?
Kenshin seems like a good person, doesn’t he?

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50Yeahx1

>>118Starting to involve others in your revenge is just pathetic, isn’t it?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47Yeahx1

The live-action version stopping the evil deeds but accepting revenge is also a flaw because the ending is too perfect.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47

There are limits to how much you can elaborate on a story in a weekly serialized format, right?

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

>>121But well, that’s the job, and if you can’t even do that at a minimum…

148: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:51

>>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.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47

So, should I have just died from syphilis after serving society?

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:48Yeahx1

>>124Yes
i

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:47

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?!

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:49

>>125Kazuki Bravo is popular and has a nice personality.
The Papillon is dark, but it can be dark.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:51

>>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.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:48

There are people who think things like “This guy committed murder, so he has no right to be happy. He should just die quickly.”

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:48

In the anime, I guess they will change the matter regarding the family that helped.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:48

That hand grenade is just like the U.S. military’s quick-sync, using bubble pulse.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:48

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.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:49

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?

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:51

>>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.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

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.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:51

>>135Since I was a little brat from the beginning, I grew up fairly normally…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

Just because a murderer can’t live a proper life in their past life doesn’t mean that they can’t at all…

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

A rare manga that features a group of four balding guys who are side characters in two sets.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

The ninjas didn’t actually kill that many people, did they?

156: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:52

>>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.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:54

>>156Abukuma Four-Entry!

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

If you follow the theory that if you commit a crime, you should die, then almost everyone except young people will die.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

Syphilis has been transmitted to Kaoru, and he seems satisfied, so it’s even worse.
Well, of course, Kenro would go off the rails.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:50

A character that should not be revealed, based on the theme of the work and the protagonist’s beliefs.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:51

>>142I don’t want to work! I absolutely do not want to work!

143: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:51

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.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:52

>>143You’ve taken a position that looks enviable, like that of a girls’ school janitor or something similar…

144: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:51

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!

150: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:52

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.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:53

>>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.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:52

It was serialised in a boys’ magazine.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:52

If the thread picture is a proper avenger, then Kenshin is trash…

154: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:52

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…

155: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:52

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…

157: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:53

At least when you had a fiancée, you were decent, Toma.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:54

>>157If I could have just smiled brightly in front of my fiancé, that alone could have prevented the tragedy.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:54

>>157He’s so socially awkward that he misunderstands that he can’t go on like this without any charm at all.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:53

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…

159: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:53

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…

160: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:53

Kanyuu is also the main culprit who spread opium all over Tokyo and has likely killed a considerable number of people.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:55

>>160The logic that it’s better than those who are just getting by and pretending in a more casual way in court…

176: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:55

>>174Money is amazing!

177: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:56

>>174But if you killed someone, you have to face the consequences and die.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:56

>>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.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:53

If there were a character that made Kenshin, who swore not to kill, kill someone, it might have worked well.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:53

If it had ended with Jinei, it would have been the most beautifully concluded, but it would definitely have felt lacking.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:54

There are those who, despite being from the rebel army, become police officers and arrogantly say “swift execution for evil!”

168: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:54

I understand there’s determination, but I haven’t really grasped how your unusual sword technique could match Kenshin.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:56

>>168Are you mocking Master Raijuta, who developed Blade Light Wave through a handbook he found and self-study in the mountain?

169: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:54

Since En survived, it would have been better to earn a day-to-day income and live quietly.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:54

This chapter really does unnecessary things like bombing the whale wave’s eating place and killing the rich, huh…

171: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:55

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.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:55Yeahx3

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.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57

>>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?

173: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:55

If Tomoe hadn’t protected him, Battousai would have died, so it’s a difficult situation.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:55

The only ones acting as vengeful spirits are the somewhat resentful Kiranami and Venom among the companions.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57

>>175It seems that there weren’t as many avengers as expected when trying to gather people to establish a vendetta.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:56

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…

181: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:56Yeahx5

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.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:58

>>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.

201: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:59Yeahx1

>>181It’s nice that Enishi is surprised to see Kenshin face a tanto head-on.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57Yeahx2

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.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57Yeahx2

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.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:58

>>183Everything else is fine, but you can’t just overlook the issue with Tomoe, can you?

184: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57

Both my sister and brother are a mess.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57

Which is more malicious, avoiding the death penalty through money and serving time or getting acquitted through a connection with Kenshin?

190: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57

>>185Both are trash for being murderers, so both should die.

204: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)22:00Yeahx2

>>190Oh dear, the establishment of the Meiji government has been denied!

217: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)22:03

>>204If Kenshin had this mentality, it would probably end around volume 2 of the Jinchu arc.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:58

>>185We also have to consider the side that was threatened along with the main culprit.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57

It was a mistake for my fiancé to come to Kyoto during the late Edo period like an idiot.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:58

>>188It’s an era where being weak is considered bad.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:57

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 …?”

192: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:58

That movie often provides quite a good complement, doesn’t it…

200: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:59

>>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.

213: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)22:02

>>200It was originally planned to be just one work.

230: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)22:06

>>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.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:59

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…

197: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:59

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.

198: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:59Yeahx1

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.

223: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)22:04

>>198Every time he appears, the way he gets defeated changes, but I’m still not quite satisfied with Rengoku-san…

199: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)21:59

Supporting the assassin who killed my fiancé makes no sense at all; that’s exactly right.
