That is correct! Hiko Seijuro is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura! That's what I'd expect! Big brother! He's related to the master character...! I'm looking forward to Angelo's reaction in the next episode! Thanks for all the fun videos!
Seijuro is pretty much Ruroni Kenshin's "Gojo"😂 The main characters sensei, badass character design, and Insanely OP to the point you wonder if he's supposed to be a part of the verse.
The VA of gojo yuichi nakamura is also seijuro hiko in this remake!!! Literally gojo is him, but jjk is nothing new so idk what they hype was about!! The 1996 seijuro hiko is og anime husbando daddy!!
YEEEES! LET'S GOOOOO! My fave anime of all time with the GOAT Michael Angelo! I'm so ready for Master Seijuro Hiko! He is such a gorgeous beast but my heart still belongs to Sir Ken!
21:53 SEIJURO the character that the author himself said naaahhh Is to broken, I made him so strong that I better not even present him much in the plot 😂😂
14:46 Don't worry, later it will be explained how he got the X, but without giving too many spoilers, one of the two scars that make up the X is one of the most beautiful and sad things in this series.
14:44 you are right they never mentioned how he got the scar, that will come later on, It is a powerful story and is shown in the beautiful OVA Samurai X Trust and Betrayal, but don't watch until these cours finish or at least till season 3 finish cause will be like a big spoiler
Yes ,but definitely should watch those masterpieces ovas because I can’t imagine the remake doing something close to that, the direction , the soundtrack omg that soundtrack probably was one of the best ever
Lol that tracks on multiple levels, firstly how confident Seijuro is and secondly have you seen how jacked this man is? Even if Kenshin can use all the same techniques as Seijuro, he'd never replicate the same power.
I was getting worried that we still haven´t got your weekly reaction of Ruroken, don´t you dare to do the same again man :,( I´m glad you are enjoying how this splendid arc is develping its characters and story.
I think that just because Hiko is the master of Hiten Mitsurugi, and the fact that he uses a normal katana that kills, he would certainly defeat his enemies faster than Kenshin with a Sakabatou hahaha.
Kenshin's scar is a part of his tragic backstory. If this anime gets more seasons after the Kyoto Disturbance arc, it will reach the Jinchū arc where his backstory is fully revealed. I would advise to wait for that arc as it is very good.
Seijuurou Hiko the strongest swordsman in Rurouni Kenshin. He can defeat Shishio with just one move and it would be boring so Kenshin should fight Shishio instead lol xD.
Been waiting for this, and happy to see Kenshin and Karou reunited…admittedly I feel it missed some depth to it if just a little with the OST. Other than that the last part of episode 40 to the first half of Episode 42 of the 96 anime have been covered in these episodes. In the series Seijuro Hiko is essentially the strongest in verse. Still it’s quite telling that Kenshin became one of the strongest swordsmen in the Bakumatsu as a teenager through an incomplete Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu alone. And that’s his name now, Seijuro Hiko XIII, the thirteenth grandmaster of the style. The name is a yagō, a traditional name passed down through a guild, studio, title, ect. In Japanese culture that is passed down from master to apprentice when they succeed in the craft or the master perishes. It is usually used in artists, craftsman, and actors especially Kabuki. If Kenshin had finished his training, he would have been Seijuro Hiko XIV. As for the original and the founder of the style the original Seijuro Hiko…well might as well say it unless they adopt the source into an anime episode like they seem to be doing with canon extra stories. The original Seijuro Hiko was a samurai and kendo instructor for the province of the Kitakata back during the Sengoku Jidai, confirmed the strongest user from the style, and appeared in Crescent Moon In The Warring States. A one shot published in 1992 as the series’s author first professional work before made canon into Rurouni Kenshin. To keep things brief incase it becomes animated, after the larger province of Nagumoks daimyou betrays a peace agreement and kills Kitakata’s ruling class, Kitakata’s last hope was Seijuro who allied with a farmer named Isshinta who he saved ended the war for the ones they wanted to protect the most. The story was added into Rurouni Knshin’s sixth volume and the original Seijuro’s sword Fuyutsuki was an heirloom of the style that is passed from master to apprentice or a replica of the original one, it has been 300 years after all. As for matters back in the present Aoshi’s desire to avenge his subordinates honor has utterly consumed him to the point of turning on his remaining subordinates for his desire to be the strongest, allying with Shishio to find and kill Kenshin. Also introduced is two more members of the Juppongata, Henya and Iwambo. Not much to reveal for Henya but as for Iwambo….he is exactly who he is on the surface. A big idiot who is only in the Juppongata for his strength and body. Still might have to wait on that glimpse of Kenshin’s training, the events of the next episode have already been hinted at heavily for another fight.
No. The scar origin has its own flashback that will happen later. It's a LONG flashback (three whole volumes) and is arguably the best part of the whole manga for a lot of fans. There is a ova adaptation of the whole flashback which changes things from the manga (it's shorter, darker and left out a lot of details, focusing on the feelings and emotional things). The ova is FANTASTIC but should be watched after the "real" one, so you're not confuse on what is canon or not.
This is what I was waiting for Thanks for reacting to back to back episode Secondly, Sejiro Hiro is something else and that's why girls are having the crush on anyone that learns hiten mitsurugi ryu style
FYI, the manga author based the cape that Hiko wears on the cape worn by Spawn. Also, if you want to know how Kenshin got his scar, I highly recommend watching the OVA, Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal.
So you went to the GameAwards? Damn, that’s cool. I’m glad you didn’t quit Rurouni Kenshin! Huge thanks for this double-episodes reaction. I just noticed, hitori (one/alone) and hitokiri (assassin) are pretty close to each other…
In fact, according to the author's character commentary book, it says that he is ``the strongest of all the characters that appear,'' so Hiko has overwhelming strength. The reason is that he has the skills to use Hiten Mitsurugi's techniques perfectly, as well as the body that makes it possible. Since Kenshin confronted him and left the mountain, his physical strength has continued to decline, so the accuracy of his techniques continues to decrease with each passing year.
Watsuki said in a interview, that he got some plot issues to solve cause Hiko Seijuuro is too op. Funny thing: watsuki likes marvel universe, and Hiko Seijuuro's cape is inspired by a Marvel character: Spawn!
It's good to see that behind the god-like speed and brilliant swordsmanship that Kenshin posses, he was also once a rebellious teen just like us. 😆 Edit: The secret of Shishio's Homuradama will truly shock you.
If you want to know how Kenshin hot his scar, about his origin and his separation from Seijuro you have to watch Samurai X, Trust and Betrayal one of the most beautiful OVA ever made and one of the saddest too…
@ you can’t really spoil much of what happens in the Jinchuu arc with the OVA. Aside from one character it can be seen more as a prequel to Ruroni Kenshin than an explanation to why the Jinchuu arc happens.
@@lucianoarrieta5786 A big part of first section of Jinchuu Arc is making readers wonder what exactly did Kenshin do to piss these people off. The manga explicitly spent chapters on Kenshin in turmoil before gathering the courage to reveal his past , then told his friends that he killed Tomoe, which is a big shock that's supposed to keep readers engaged. Even midpoint through flashback Kenshin took a break mid-session and his friends speculate how it went. It's like saying learning Cloud's past by playing crisis core first isn't spoiling much since it is only about a minor character that had 5 min screentime in FF7.
The master costume of Kenshin remains a little of Spawn, i think the Himura Scar is when was fithing agains the Shinsengumi and Saito, Probably the Shishio Katana is like a Pedernal with the Saya to make ignite a spark on the blade or in the cut, Men Aoshi is lost
In the original version, Hiko was voiced by Shanks voice actor. While the new voice is cool, I actually miss a lot the original VA :D The author compared Hiko to "the joker card" of a deck. He is unbeatable :D
It is highly recommended that you watch this version. This version tells about Kenshin’s past and also tells the origin of the cross scar. ：ruclips.net/video/JzAQftkNBPQ/видео.html
You need to react to Rurouni Kenshin "Trust and Betrayal" after you finish these series. Its a must see best OVA ever created. It is the prequel to Rurouni Kenshin and it explains what happened to Kenshin in the past, how he met his master, why he never wanted to kill again, and how he got the cross shape scar on his face. U wont regret it. Literally you will ask yourself why tf havent i seen this before
Man, as interesting as it is this series still doesn't quite live up to the 90's anime adaptation. Everything about it just feels tame and less passionate. It's a shame cause I'd been waiting for a remake for the longest, seeing as they never animated the final arc. But, I'm glad it's gotten more exposure, and others get to experience the story.
They are trying to appeal to a younger generation and everything is so politically correct now, and they have completely thrown away the dark, more serious aura that original 1996 series had!! Also, the OST of the 1996 series is what made it, and thay cannot even begin to pay for the rights to that Ost. The new ost does not capture the tortured menacing vibe of kenshin, nor does it have a timeless feel. It is basically generic action movie music.

Seijuro is the bar for strength in Rurouni kenshin
That is correct! Hiko Seijuro is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura! That's what I'd expect! Big brother! He's related to the master character...!
I'm looking forward to Angelo's reaction in the next episode! Thanks for all the fun videos!
Reinhard van astrea VA?😱
“It would be easiest…if i went there myself” yea it would be over…in one episode lol
when hiko appears, suddenly kenshin looks like yahiko next to him
😂💀
Excited for the double ep reaction! No worries about it being slightly late for ep 35
Seijuro is pretty much Ruroni Kenshin's "Gojo"😂 The main characters sensei, badass character design, and Insanely OP to the point you wonder if he's supposed to be a part of the verse.
No truck-kuns around for him to get isekai´d. xD
The VA of gojo yuichi nakamura is also seijuro hiko in this remake!!! Literally gojo is him, but jjk is nothing new so idk what they hype was about!! The 1996 seijuro hiko is og anime husbando daddy!!
Hiko is stronger in his universe than Gojo is in his universe. Hiko is more Sukuna in terms of strenght XD
YEEEES! LET'S GOOOOO! My fave anime of all time with the GOAT Michael Angelo!
I'm so ready for Master Seijuro Hiko! He is such a gorgeous beast but my heart still belongs to Sir Ken!
Hiko is the most badass character in the sereis man ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗿
21:53 SEIJURO the character that the author himself said
naaahhh Is to broken, I made him so strong that I better not even present him much in the plot 😂😂
Ofc he's got Gojo's VA
Hiko is easily one of the coolest characters in the series. And he’s strong strong. Think “secret extra boss”.
He's also got that secret extra sauce. His outfit and personality always made me swoon a little.
The strongest character in the show
14:46
Don't worry, later it will be explained how he got the X, but without giving too many spoilers, one of the two scars that make up the X is one of the most beautiful and sad things in this series.
Thank you for your reactions, they are amazing.
No Rurouni Kenshin episode for 3 weeks (I'm sad😔). Episode 13 (cour 2) will resume on January 9, 2025.
Fr?
@ssamja yes :( 3 weeks is long for me lol
Oh wow…now i know not to look for it
damn it
It's getting intense! Okina threatening Aoshi was 🔥
7:27 😂 😂 I've been telling you that ever since they first mentioned Hiko's name, guess you never saw my comments, was saying Gojo is VA the Goat lol
14:44 you are right they never mentioned how he got the scar, that will come later on, It is a powerful story and is shown in the beautiful OVA Samurai X Trust and Betrayal, but don't watch until these cours finish or at least till season 3 finish cause will be like a big spoiler

@@edwinscs Ikr facts 💯🔥 I watch everything yearly it's sooooo good 🔥😍😍
Hiko is a beast.
The Aoshi vs Okina fight is one of my favorite fights especially in the live action movie, RK: Kyoto Inferno 🔥🔥🔥
@annadomingo3153 tonfa hidden in scrolls. Hiding behind a fake window. Pulling up the hidden bamboo spear. Okina was using some sweet ninja moves
Welcome back brother. Seijuro Hiko is like the final boss of a game if they were good
The 1996 Training Arc never ceases to bring tears to my eyes! Live Shinta!
In the manga when Hiko said Kenshin would become just as powerful as him, he then quickly added that "actually nah, I wouldn't go that far".
Lol that tracks on multiple levels, firstly how confident Seijuro is and secondly have you seen how jacked this man is? Even if Kenshin can use all the same techniques as Seijuro, he'd never replicate the same power.
Seijuri Hiko is HIM!
I was getting worried that we still haven´t got your weekly reaction of Ruroken, don´t you dare to do the same again man :,(
I´m glad you are enjoying how this splendid arc is develping its characters and story.
I think that just because Hiko is the master of Hiten Mitsurugi, and the fact that he uses a normal katana that kills, he would certainly defeat his enemies faster than Kenshin with a Sakabatou hahaha.
Wondering were these reactions are., looking forwarding to it.
Kenshin's scar is a part of his tragic backstory. If this anime gets more seasons after the Kyoto Disturbance arc, it will reach the Jinchū arc where his backstory is fully revealed. I would advise to wait for that arc as it is very good.

Henya stills Acts like himself that's what I like about him
This is what I was waiting for
Thanks for reacting to back to back episode
Secondly, Sejiro Hiro is something else and that's why girls are having the crush on anyone that learns hiten mitsurugi ryu style
So you’re curious about the scar huh? Oh boy hahaha. Be patient and avoid spoilers, you’ll find out about that…
Japanese people call him the strongest VA, because he plays a lot of strong character
The GOAT Bringer❤❤❤ Lets Go!!!
Shishio's clan won't be surviving for an episode if this guy joined the fight😭💀
FYI, the manga author based the cape that Hiko wears on the cape worn by Spawn.
Also, if you want to know how Kenshin got his scar, I highly recommend watching the OVA, Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal.
It will change his reaction when he watches the Jinchuu arc.
I hope they did Hiko Justice on the upcoming events/episode because in the old anime he is so badass 🤭 (okay im gonna shut up now)
Finally ❤❤❤❤
So you went to the GameAwards? Damn, that’s cool. I’m glad you didn’t quit Rurouni Kenshin! Huge thanks for this double-episodes reaction.
I just noticed, hitori (one/alone) and hitokiri (assassin) are pretty close to each other…
The black battleship analogy is a reference to what Matthew Perry did in the 1800s to lift Japan's national isolation, if you didn't catch that
Thank You👏✨next okina vs aoshi ⚔️🔥
Here we go 😊
No... You don't want to know how he got the 'SCARS'. The saddest and the most heart aching story of him. 😭
In fact, according to the author's character commentary book, it says that he is ``the strongest of all the characters that appear,'' so Hiko has overwhelming strength.
The reason is that he has the skills to use Hiten Mitsurugi's techniques perfectly, as well as the body that makes it possible.

Edit: The secret of Shishio's Homuradama will truly shock you.
My goat
lets watch the Samurai X OVAs together so we can see how he got the scars.
They're asians thats why they look young. It is a gift & curse at same time gave by God.😂
Gotta watch the Samurai X movies to find out about his scar :) or wait til they adapt it for this series remake
