I literally grew up watching this whole story from the late 90s then through the whole series then concluding in the mid 2000’s with reflection I was way too young for the emotional impact of this story
Does it not build character, though? I, too, was exposed to things that, these days, kids are protected from. I wonder if it's left them better off. I think it's quite important kids get exposed to mature themes. Depends on the kid, though. When you say you were too young, was it that you didn't understand it, or that it was too much? I find even things I didn't understand at the time still left an echo that, while faint, seems to have shaped my character.
@@O1OO1O1 I think it was the fact that I grew with it. that as I got older the narrative depth became clearer and relevant and like anything persisting at length moved me hard at its conclusion. He was so noble.
i remember i watched rurouni kenshin way back on cartoon network and thought it was pretty good... then i ordered the samurai x ova on ebay and watched that shit... kenshin was next level badass as battousai
@@fightttttt You're a micropenis weeaboo. Shut the fuck up. in the English dub Kenshin sounds like a GUY and the dude being cut down actually sounded afraid. "get off the lsd"
I might be wrong here, but I think "drop your sword" is a literal translation and the true meaning would be something along the lines of "give up and die"
This is crappy translation, Kenshin originally just says "give up". Also he doesn't just call the poor dude "stubborn" he notices he had a strong will to live
Originally Kenshin just says "surrender/give up" (akirame). Meaning he should stop resisting and accept his death. Not that he would be speared if he dropped his sword.
@@chiyo-chanholocaust8143 Being stubborn is synonymous with being strong willed. It's also the word that would likely be used in an actual conversation.
Tokugawa shogunate is not bad at all they just try to keeping order, based on hatred toward foreigner that is not enough case to start a civil war, a war is a worth fighting if you fight a tyrant or a tyrant attacking your country, for what i think Kenshin was fighting for uncertainty future
Not really. Even thought the Edo era was "peaceful" due to the cast system It was this same system that brought down the shogunate. Among other things...
This is an amazing symbolic and sad origin for his scar. I love that it’s basically cursed and keeps rebleeding cuz of the man who desperately wanted to live who kenshin coldly killed. Then beautiful how the second half of the scar is not out of hate but love from Tomoe to release him from the curse of the scar and his pain forgiving him.
He did give the guy a chance, offering to surrender, which would completely change the course of the story. But in times of conflict people are forced into confrontation over politics just because they have adopted an idealogy and anyone opposing it becomes an enemy so naturally surrendering was out of the question. Either that or he wanted to avenge his Master's death.
didn't give him any chance surrender meant accept your fate and let yourself be killed kenshin was an assassin in the service of another faction under no circumstances would he have left a witness free from the moment kiyosato saw him kill his death was already sealed
Given the circumstances: I don't think him surrendering would've resulted in a better outcome. Given the side kenshin is fighting for, and the people he just killed, I'd say it's a safe bet that upon surrender he would either be jailed, or set for execution much like the other men had they put their swords down.
Kenshin never would’ve let guy survive because he saw who he was remember that kenshin was an assassin who had to keep his identity hidden. By offering the guy to surrender he was basically just telling the guy it’s hopeless to try and resist.
Kenshin was a completely different person in the war. This is due to the fact that he killed good men on the opposite side. In war there r good and bad people on both sides. So I say thi's firmly kenshin Really needs Jesus
@Elric Newgate Lmfao look at how angry and woorked up you're getting ahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!! xDDDD If you're so sure God isn't real, that should be the end of it. But nope. You're literally crying hahahaha
Is this Rurouni Kenshin Refection..?? I have finished watching Rurouni Kenshin The Wandering Samurai 1 to 95 episode.. That was awesome.. One of the best anime of all time..
Shamsur Sagor nope. this is trust and betryal. one of the best OVA ever. this is about kenshins origin story. While Reflections is the alternative ending of his story.
I can't bare dubbed especially kenshin, one of my firsts,and what started a special interest, tho slow now in, but in Japanese true culture and history and kyoto,and these eras. I was a teen, the internet was becoming new,more exciting at 13 in the us for a I guess middle class kid (I dunno, I'm autistic, I use to think I was poor, but then as an adult disability, And even when I had a job and degree it's never enough $. I don't think being neurodiverse makes much a difference except I buy what I want coz I know I won't have chances for saving, and chronic pain? Goes to meds ,etc even medical Marijuana is just...once something enjoyable turns into lifestyle medicine, it kinda sucks the fun I could feel out of it. Anyway kenshin and tomes story, what we old schoolers generally called ova`s I grew up on vhs fan subs. As long as they didn't change to much, by the near end of the season, you've almost self taught yourself the spoken/heard language your loving (Ayumi Hamasaki still instantly removes a migraine! No joke.thousand arms?fly high...I think I watched that restart beginning like 100 times. I totally understand some people need for dubbed and am trying to just feel joy people are able to learn the story, and I haven't watched my imports yet, so I did hear great feedback on the live action, I wont understand or look at this remake they say there gonna be like the Mangas but they either aren't or all or just f'ed up. I hate the idea of my adolescent obsession being destroyed and having to explain to these new wave fans what the hell things mean and or deep or simple symbolism. I take pride in my sakaboto replica that's gorgeous, my original first Manga in both English and Japanese, my old school posters, figures ,convention gathered items like playing cards,and art books prior 2005, I feel old trying to get back into anime. I can't even find clips on here of. Japanese scenes like the ovas, the scar healing under deep psychological effects, the whole background to the story, the firefly scene, megumi and sanosuke bwing,well....themselves I can't ruin it in English! The songs are bad enough. I have like 5cds, who remembers waiting so long for the cds!? Ahhh I was so grateful for reflections tho....I feel it ,hopefully, gave deep fans like me that sense of true finality Oh man 😅 I chat alot bakayaro jochan.😝
kenshin was an assassin in the service of another faction under no circumstances would he have left a witness free from the moment kiyosato saw him kill his death was already sealed
It's called "In the rain" but alot of the songs are the same song with a twist. Like sound of snow falling is the same damn song as in the rain. but in the rain has a battle scene theme in the middle.
Koshijiro is Kaoru's dad. Tomoe was Kenshin's first love. Before Tomoe met Kenshin she had a fiancé named Akira Kiyosato who gave Kenshin his first scar as Kenshin killed him. After Kenshin killed Akira Tomoe and Kenshin eventually fell in love.
Wrong, it's a different culture, remember this bodyguard is bushi (warrior/samurai) not a peasant, if he ran away he would have lost tremendous face which is why he was so keen to stay and fight. That mentality is why japanese soldiers in WW2 refused to surrender even when they were obviously going to lose, it's better in old japanese culture to die in battle than to live as a loser

Kenshin took this man's life and then took his wife. Idk who had it worst
This OVA was 10/10 its sooo good.
Also when Hiko Seijuro sliced a guy in 6 pieces
i remember i watched rurouni kenshin way back on cartoon network and thought it was pretty good... then i ordered the samurai x ova on ebay and watched that shit... kenshin was next level badass as battousai
This dub makes me glad I watched this with subtitles, this scene is so heartbreaking...
was it really that bad?
Think the dub was ok
@@LetsLearnEconomic get off the lsd this dub is literally the worst i heard not only is the acting bad but doesnt even line up with the mouth right
@@fightttttt Agreed. The dub is probably the worst I've ever heard. And that's saying something

if he just drop his sword
He would had died anyway

didn't give him any chance

lol the heartbreak overrides the dubbing
that's what I call a wig split
😂😂👌🏼
At least he didn't get his cheeks busted.
If you have someone waitin' stay home

Yeah, well obviously he realized that at some point and spent the rest of his life in atonement.
This made me laugh out loud
@Elric Newgate No he isn't. You're an idiot. You can think God isn't real, but Jesus walked the Earth. The Shroud of Turin proves it.

Kenshin the baddest samurai in history hands down #coldblooded 🥶
Hell yea besides afro samurai and jubei from ninja scroll
And Mugen from samurai champloo
Hey congratulations you just got engaged and have so many happy and fulfilling plans after the conflict!!!

@@hekisingson989 Thanks so much.. But one thing I am thinking about the series that Kenshin should not wait that much to marry Kauro..
I remember watching this as a kid but can anyone tell me why did kenshin get his first scar did he underestimate his opponent or what?
The dub isn’t bad, it’s just weak delivery & not strong-enough acting. If only they had a professional acting director

I hope that guy had stay down ...
lol at all the neckbeards seething about dubs.
nah I think he was doing it for instagram......
this has been bugging me for 20 years....was Kenshin actually going to not kill him if he dropped his sword?
kenshin was an assassin in the service of another faction under no circumstances would he have left a witness free from the moment kiyosato saw him kill his death was already sealed
Not likely, but he would had probably kill him Kick and painless.
Everyone these days: "Why does whoever gonna get own hear boss music?"
Then theres Kenshin with just a chilling sound effect at 1:00
Japanese dubs still mostly best
Bro really said my turn 😂😂😂😂 yea this dub pretty bad
Anyone know what’s the name of the ost at minute 1:25 ?
It's called "In the rain" but alot of the songs are the same song with a twist. Like sound of snow falling is the same damn song as in the rain. but in the rain has a battle scene theme in the middle.
Just look up Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal OST. The music including the song @ 1:2 are all composed by Taku Iwasaki
The ost is - one of these nights
Where I can find full movie or episode of this clip??
Look for torrent in nyaa. Or just google it
The first scar was given by kauro father right?
No, the first scar was given to him by Tomoe's fiancé.
so not the father of Kauro right?
Re-watch the movie it explains everything
Koshijiro is Kaoru's dad. Tomoe was Kenshin's first love. Before Tomoe met Kenshin she had a fiancé named Akira Kiyosato who gave Kenshin his first scar as Kenshin killed him. After Kenshin killed Akira Tomoe and Kenshin eventually fell in love.
Kaoru's dad never gave Kenshin a scar
Anyone know the OST playing at 2:28
Sound of Falling Snow or the OST for this exact scene is called: One of These Nights
@@JBtheJMB84 Thank you!
WRONG!!!
He speak "TOMOE" and die, not "I LOVE". it's the details who ruin everything..
WHERE CAN I WATCH THIS MOVIE?! PLS TELL ME :'C
