"Death no longer terrifies men. The smell of blood is as common as the smell of white plums, so he creates slavery and savagery which surpasses the horrors of dying. These can only be fought with more bloodshed and the cycle never ends. My sword is guided by the reasoning of Hiten Mitsurugi, but when all is said, a sword is a tool for destruction not salvation. The only way I can retain my humanity is to bury its victims.” - Seijuro Hiko
@@stealthxf6313 4 episodes. I would buy the Directors cut/blu ray (play through just like a 2hr film) I still got my DVD copy from 2003 and I purchased it again in blu ray a few years ago :)
@Tony Tran Every man is a beast of his own choosing. The difference is what he/she gonna do with the beast inside him? That is the concept of the nature of humanity in Hiten style and its difference with being a beast. The struggle to not let your carnal desire runs wild every time it wanted to unless it is needed to. You control the beast inside you, not the other way around. This story is about the struggle and walking a thin line between being human or being a beast. And Seijro Hiko use necessary violence (killing) for the sake of his own humanity, not others. While Kenshin as Battousai try to apply the Hiten principle through the eye of others i.e by killing one group of "evil" people, one group of "good" people can be saved and thus he can save humanity. But in the end, he is just another beast but with a leash. Hiten is to protect your own self physically (and to a small extend other people in need) and humanity in the time when being a beast is more convenient and easy than being human. That is why both Hiko and Kenshin did not pass down the philosophy of hiten to others. That is no more need for humanity through necessary violence (killing). It is a personal moral philosophy in time when social moral order is difficult to be implemented. By that logic Hiko inner peace is he accept this personal moral philosophy. I am not sure if Hiko wanted to achieve goodhood but he he is perserving his sense of humanity.
Almost everything Hiko says is very deep and philosophical. I hate when in tv or books they present a character as a wise man or master and just expect us to believe it. Hiko wa supposed to be Kenshin teacher and swordsman yet he is wise. "It is foolish to listen to one who will not listen to you. Do as you wish." - it helped me in my adult life xD
As a recovering alcoholic, who struggled with addiction for over a decade, for some reason him losing his woman in the end reminding me of how I lost mine due to addiction, even though she did everything to try to make it work. Seeing this movie was one of the defining points that made me want to quit for good. This song will forever have a special place in my heart. It just goes to show, we never know completely what kind of impact the art we create will have on others. Thank you so much for uploading. Respectfully, Lupe
Alcohol is a demonic tool to separate good people and sow discord. O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed. Satan’s plan is to stir up hostility and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling and to prevent you from remembering Allah and praying. Will you not then abstain?
Maaaan I'm at the library and youtube autoplay this song knowing it's been 5 years I didn't listen to this masterpiece and now I'm crying 🥺 UA-cam was like: Here something to make u depressed more than your studies
I’d seen this back in 2005, felt very empty and sad after watching it, yesterday watched this ova’s 2021 live action, I thought my emotions won’t take as severe hit, but man was I wrong. And so I am here to calm myself with this masterpiece of soundtrack.
Most of us are blessed to live in a time where war only happens in some places and we don't have to kill anyone to survive. Kenshin It's just an example of what happens to a good-hearted person when they are born into a tumultuous and difficult time. May we find a time when will end all wars and suffering around the World.
Tomoe's death lead to the wonderful, loving wanderer we all came to know and love. Rurouni Kenshin will forever remain in my top 10 anime of all time based on the OVA's and manga alone.
@@hannanfaisal6733 The only OVA that wasn't canon was Reflection and they only added a liitle bit of the Jinchuu arc. Nobuhiro Watsuki didn't even fancy it. Trust and Betrayal OVA is 14 chapters of the Remembrance arc in the manga and its still canon despite its inaccuracies or scenes that were left out from the manga but it did not stray away from the main plot of that arc.
Tomoe who sought for her dead fiance's revenge, ended up loving that same murderer. She must have felt so conflicted inside, having to bear with the pensive sadness of losing her loved one, to suddenly loving that murderer, I personally cannot imagine how much pain she must have went through.
A pure innocent soul going through internal and external struggles in a chaotic time. Scarred, but he finds a way to live on. A love story. A heart wrenching tragedy. It is a story that I come back to again and again.
Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and betrayal is a masterpiece and one of the best. I love this anime. If you have not watch this one yet or know someone who hasn't, I highly recommend check this anime out.
Rurouni Kenshin story was actually based on the history of Kawakami Gensai (1834-1872). He was one of the four most notable assassins aka hitokiri battousai of the Bakumatsu period. Hiten mitsurugi ryu technique created by Seijuro Hiko in Rurouni Kenshin was also the same as the technique owned by Kawakami Gensai, where he leaned on the right leg and lowered the other leg with knee almost touched the ground. When I watched Samurai X first time in 1996, I knew this anime must have a historical story behind it, not only an anime.
While it's true that Kenshin was based off Kawakami Gensai, I get the feeling that you meant Kenshin was basically a historically true animated adaptation of Kawakami's life from your use of "based on the history of..." If that were the case, we'd see Kenshin enjoy tea ceremonies and get executed by beheading among other things that were vastly different. I believe Kenshin was just generally based off Gensai's life. Also, assassins were known as "hitokiri," not "hitokiri battousai." The latter name was Kenshin's alone due to his expertise in battoujutsu. Additionally, Kawakami practiced "Shiranui Ryu," of which Hiten Mitsuruigi was based, but that doesn't mean they're the same technique. Lastly, if I remember correctly, Seijuro Hiko didn't invent Hiten Mitsurugi. I may be off by a generation, but wasn't he the 12th master in a long line of Mitsurugi users? Kenshin technically became the 13th when he defeated Hiko Seijuro when learning the Ougi.
@@LoungeFly02 what I meant the idea of the story was based in the historical background of the hitokiri during the bakumatsu era. I do aware the history of Kawakami Gensai was a totally opposite of Kenshin. But I think the writer of Rurouni Kenshin got the idea of it, inspired by Kawakami Gensai.
It has been more than 20 years since I first watched T&B. This music is still as heartbreaking and inspiring as it was the first time. And yes, we all keep coming back for a reason.
@@Uhhhhhyeahuhhhh bro, watch it if you can, the show is awesome, basically my favorite anime. About the OVA, do it as well, but don't let it go through your emotions too much lol
This hits so damned hard especially when you take into consideration all that Kenshin has been through and yet he still became a better person in-spite of it all
Which is the point - overcoming the challenges we face, so we can better ourselves. Learning from our mistakes and staying true to the promises made. Very profound.
@@ktalist7793 Maybe not killing, but choosing a hideous path equally or really painful wrong decisions. One can relate in many ways, not just literally.
I cosa esta en que harás con ese dolor después de haberlo vivido dejarás que te defina a partir de ahora o lo supieras aprendiendo del mismo para ser más madura y conciente de tu entorno siendo una mejor persona bueno poes esa pregunta la responde el mismo kenshin a través del anime máster piece
This song makes me feel as if I am transcending to a new realm of peace, but while feeling Earths environment around me fading to black with the temperature fluctuating depending on my thoughts and memories; that either brush past like wind or slowly evaporate into segments that grab my attention long enough to have an emotional impact. This song is in another class of its own. If not more.
This OST always sends shivers down my spine. The weight behind each note and the overall magnificence of this piece as a whole. Simply breathtaking. I doubt there will be another OST that is able to display such emotion and weight to the music.
U ain't lying especially his response "Go out there label urself murderer". Tht line alone hit me especially realizing part of becoming a hero or a saver is 2 become a murderer. I miss these type of dialogue. Reality at it finest.
go down there brand urself a murder! murder is the only art that a swordman can practice, no ornamental word can change that you want to protect people with murder?! you slaughter legions so that the few may live....
Translated with the incorrect name "in memories", the real name is kotowari "理", that means reason, the logic or truth behind something. It may refer to the reason Kenshin keeps fighting or the reason he became a ronin. Even the reason of the scar. But in fact it refers to the discussion with Hiko, when he explains the truth of the sword, saying that the kotowari is "The sword is an instrument of horror, kenjutsu is the art of killing, we kill ones for others to live". Kenshin realized that during the assassinations but by the end of the film he understood the truth as Tomoe give her live for him to live. A tragic truth fitting the tragic music.
Han pasado 23 años desde que vi este OVA por primera vez...y no puedo dejar de emocionarme hasta las lágrimas por este pedazo de obra maestra, perfectamente cohesionada e insertada en hechos reales de la transformación del Japón shogunal al Meiji, con la tristeza, dolor, culpa, resignación y esperanza de Kenshin y su largo camino de 10 años hasta encontrar la felicidad en el dojo Kamiya...LARGA VIDA A KENSHIN!!!
The end of ruroni kenshin Tsuikohen is the a epic scene that reflect some rare moment where people receive some truth and see the illusion they have been on . They leave that illusion for the better and the good. This song is the catalyst of that. Indeed the note represent the feeling associated with the departure : Determination at the beginning, Sadness at the mid way due to the past memories, and ultimate effort truth received / and it's acknowledgement.
Assisti esse filme quando criança,meu falecido amigo gravou na versão LCD na época,só quem viveu vai lembrar... e essa trilha sonora ficou na minha cabeça por anos,hoje quase 20 anos depois estou aqui desfrutando dessa obra maravilhosa.
My first contact with Rurouni Kenshin was in 2020 in a difficult time of pandemic in which I lost many close family members, it may be a silly thing to say to strangers but I truly believe that this anime plus the OVAs and the melody of sadness and hope by Taku Iwasaki shaped me to be a better person in this cruel world. I dedicate these words to Kenshin, our dear Samurai X, may the force be with you always!
Hoy lloré después de ver este OVA, no puedo describir todos los sentimientos y emociones que me hizo soltar después de tanto tiempo. Es realmente la perfección hecha anime.
i remember watching this epic anime with my brother he buy it and insist me to watch with him, i fell in love with this anime to kenshin, one day his friend borrow it from him, i desperately want to watch it again so i did buy cd again for myself i keep it and never let anyone borrow it its a masterpiece this will be my forever no.1 anime and also the soundtrack is so amazing, i remember recording it with my cellphone and memorized and mimic the words in every scene oh god time flies im so innocent and commited back then, thank you to whoever made this ova and anime long live!
this is so emotional.. anime with best openings, endings, and music scores.. oh and best OVA, story arc, characters.. well basically the best anime ever.. and also the manga.. lol
@@caldoecaezah.h2419I'm not according for the anime series.But,with Violet OAV I'M REALLY ACCORDING TO YOU❤!Kenshin's OAV I just finished them.I'm french and here Kenshin is really unknown,I just start to know it the last september❤.And,his important for me now!
It’d be really dope if trust and betrayal Arc in the new anime is portrayed with the same dark atmosphere, soundtrack and no technique name callings This btw is such a powerful manifestation of Kenshin’s resolve
Me estremece. Es simplemente una obra maestra, llena de drama, misticismo y significado. El sonido de las aves al inicio y la final con el acompañamiento crea un halo de algo que jamás he podido explicar...
Siempre, toda la vida recordaré esta obra. Esta obra de arte que nos muestra el pasado de un Hitokiri, el presente de un vagabundo y posteriormente el futuro de un padre. 💓💓💓 Viva Kenshin, señoras y señores!!
This was an amazing ova that explained ruronni kenshin well very sad movie I watched this in early 2000s crazy im almost 37 and today it's fun to reflect and rediscover all my favorites as a kid
Tomoe's last words to Kenshin: - Manga: "It's all right...Please don't cry..." - OVA: "I am so sorry, my darling..." Both are equally tragic yet beautiful...
@@boybakala9677 Yeah, especially since she got some kind of vision of Kiyosato Akira shortly before she decided to get between Kenshin and the old assassin. If I have to wager, though, I would say it's for Kenshin. Before she left the hut, she had a long monologue, ending with her saying, "Farewell, my second love"
They remade this in live action. Didn’t come close to the ova’s. Maybe it’s cause I already saw this. But the live action didn’t build up the tone and atmosphere as much. Plus they took out the parts with Sejiro… so they took out part of the philosophical aspect of this story. I feel like his dialogue weighing into everything going on plus his opening speech helped bring you into the movie more.
I saw the begining he kills the first guy a mile from Tomoe but suddenly she gets bathed in blood even when we see the blood did not spill that far and the angles were different, wisely I stopped it there and never came back to the live action.
me sorprende y emociona en como los japoneses pudieron adaptar toda la belleza de su cultura inherente al Japón antiguo en esta serie, sobre todo de estos ovas con tremenda banda sonora, con melodías que entregan tranquilidad y nostálgia
Chef d'œuvre final absolu. J'ai vu le film tellement de fois qu'entendre une musique de l'OST active instantanément la scène correspondante dans ma tête. Un film, un seul. Tsuioku Hen.
Como dejar de estar obsesionada con esta obra de arte, "excepcional" en todo el sentido de la palabra.. Samurai X es sin duda para mi el mejor anime que pudieron adaptar a la pantalla, tantos bellos recuerdos de mi infancia.
after watched this OVA i felt wanted their story to be the main one ... tomoe character and role is so perfect and touching that make me felt she should nvr died
As a child, in the 90s so many anime and manga were telecast in India also that the number and variety never could inundate my time to watch them! Out of everything, Samurai X or Rurouni Kenshin was the only show I would watch calmly all by myself in contrast to others! I would ponder upon so many statements in the show that I leaned into the enquiry of the reasoning and actually base a routine and hence the added maturity! Sad! The eagerness of today’s generation hasn’t tasted the joy in a time with no cellphones
- Hiko Seijuro: ¡No te perdonaré si dejas esta montaña! - Kenshin: Maestro... mientras nosotros hablamos, mucha gente está muriendo afuera. ¿No es hora de usar este poder...? usar el Mitsurugi Ryu para proteger a la gente. - Hiko Seijuro: ¡Que discípulo tan idiota! ¿Qué lograrás yendo a la boca del lobo tú solo? si deseas cambiar esta época tan caótica no tendrás otra alternativa, más que escoger un bando. Lo que significa que terminarás siendo manipulado por algún poder político. No te enseñé el Mitsurugi Ryu con ese propósito. Olvídate del mundo exterior y sigue con tu entrenamiento. - Kenshin: Las personas sufren frente a mis ojos. Mucha gente se encuentra afligida. No puedo permitirme darles la espalda. - Hiko Seijuro: El Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu es sin duda el estilo supremo. - Kenshin: ¿No es por esa razón por la que deberíamos de usar esta fuerza? ¿Para proteger a la gente de los conflictos de esta Era? ¿No es para eso el Mitsurugi Ryu...? - Hiko Seijuro: La espada es un arma. El arte de la espada es el arte de asesinar. No importa la poesía o belleza con la que las describas ésa es la realidad. Para proteger a unos tienes que matar a otros... para permitir a unos vivir, tendrás que dejar a otros morir. Esa es la verdadera enseñanza de la espada. Así como te salvé, tuve que masacrar bandidos. Pero eso no les quita que fueran humanos. No eran más que personas tratando de sobrevivir en este mundo tan decadente. Al momento que abandones esta montaña, sólo comenzarás una matanza sin sentido, guiada por una justicia conflictiva. Si te corrompes, entonces el Mitsurugi Ryu te convertirá en un cruel asesino. - Kenshin: Aún así... yo... salvaré a las personas que estén sufriendo con este poder. Aún si... aunque sólo fuera una vida más... un alma más... quiero protegerlas con estas manos. Por esa razón... maestro! - Hiko Seijuro: No me preocupo por idiotas como tú. Así que lárgate a donde te plazca. - Kenshin: Gracias... muchas gracias. Hiko Seijuro: Así que el idiota de mi discípulo ha escogido una muy estúpida manera de vivir su vida. A pesar de su inocencia, su camino es inevitable.

Han pasado 23 años desde que vi este OVA por primera vez...y no puedo dejar de emocionarme hasta las lágrimas por este pedazo de obra maestra, perfectamente cohesionada e insertada en hechos reales de la transformación del Japón shogunal al Meiji, con la tristeza, dolor, culpa, resignación y esperanza de Kenshin y su largo camino de 10 años hasta encontrar la felicidad en el dojo Kamiya...LARGA VIDA A KENSHIN!!!
Omg. Tomoe 😭
This seriously might be my favorite OST of all time
Yes. The Samurai X OVA still remains to be peerless even after all these yrs 👏🧐
The end of ruroni kenshin Tsuikohen is the a epic scene that reflect some rare moment where people receive some truth and see the illusion they have been on . They leave that illusion for the better and the good.
This song is the catalyst of that. Indeed the note represent the feeling associated with the departure : Determination at the beginning, Sadness at the mid way due to the past memories, and ultimate effort truth received / and it's acknowledgement.
流れゆく時代、そして消えゆく命の儚さ
こういう言葉が浮かんでくる
何も永遠はない すべてが終わる この言葉は難しい
I watched this OVA during very hard times for me. I feelt way better, with hope, strong enough to fight my inner demons.
This song is addicting.
Addictive
The weakness of the heart. our most formidable enemy.
That line also struck me as a very odd translation, as the japanese seemed to be, "I dont... understand what a woman is..."
I remember this part hehe
Ugh, this music makes me cry every time
greatest heartbreaker song
The last 25 minutes of this 4-episode anime... The video and music are really the best impression.
Assisti esse filme quando criança,meu falecido amigo gravou na versão LCD na época,só quem viveu vai lembrar... e essa trilha sonora ficou na minha cabeça por anos,hoje quase 20 anos depois estou aqui desfrutando dessa obra maravilhosa.
Este OVA é fora de série, nunca tinha visto nada parecido
My first contact with Rurouni Kenshin was in 2020 in a difficult time of pandemic in which I lost many close family members, it may be a silly thing to say to strangers but I truly believe that this anime plus the OVAs and the melody of sadness and hope by Taku Iwasaki shaped me to be a better person in this cruel world. I dedicate these words to Kenshin, our dear Samurai X, may the force be with you always!
Trust and Betrayal is absolutely legendary.
Hoy lloré después de ver este OVA, no puedo describir todos los sentimientos y emociones que me hizo soltar después de tanto tiempo. Es realmente la perfección hecha anime.
i remember watching this epic anime with my brother he buy it and insist me to watch with him, i fell in love with this anime to kenshin, one day his friend borrow it from him, i desperately want to watch it again so i did buy cd again for myself i keep it and never let anyone borrow it its a masterpiece this will be my forever no.1 anime and also the soundtrack is so amazing, i remember recording it with my cellphone and memorized and mimic the words in every scene oh god time flies im so innocent and commited back then, thank you to whoever made this ova and anime long live!
this is so emotional..
anime with best openings, endings, and music scores..
oh and best OVA, story arc, characters.. well basically the best anime ever.. and also the manga.. lol
Best OVA ever
Unpopular opinion: This OVA was better than the entire anime put together (the anime was still quite good though)
agree,and if you let me say it, this oVa is the best piece of anime in that format.
@@caldoecaezah.h2419I'm not according for the anime series.But,with Violet OAV I'M REALLY ACCORDING TO YOU❤!Kenshin's OAV I just finished them.I'm french and here Kenshin is really unknown,I just start to know it the last september❤.And,his important for me now!
The ova sold more than the anime series bd/dvd iirc.
I wish the entire anime had the bleak seinen feel and art style
I don't think that is an unpopular opinion. Trust and Betrayal is considered a masterpiece by many.
처절하게 외로운데 칼하나 꼭들고 있는모습 이게 우리네 인생이지
It’d be really dope if trust and betrayal Arc in the new anime is portrayed with the same dark atmosphere, soundtrack and no technique name callings
This btw is such a powerful manifestation of Kenshin’s resolve
One of my favourite OST's of all time. Rurouni Kenshin is indeed an underrrated anime.
It's just an old anime. Not really underrated because I am one of the fans who saw it when it was popular.
@@rdcyoutubediary E
Forever haunting, this anime is
国籍、世代問わず評価される素晴らしい楽曲
I think this anime and Jin-roh was the masterpieces that gave beautiful closer to era of 90’s anime. Such a beautiful work of art
This song slaps so hard it’s unbelievable
Me estremece. Es simplemente una obra maestra, llena de drama, misticismo y significado. El sonido de las aves al inicio y la final con el acompañamiento crea un halo de algo que jamás he podido explicar...
Tu resumen es perfecto... Ni más ni menos. Exelente
En pocas palabras, me genera tanto, que me transporta a otro mundo.
Me lleva a esa época, y siento que estoy todo el camino que recorrió Kenshin
No hace falta que lo expliques te entiendo ala perfección
역사의 소용돌이에서 희생되는 개인들의 비극을 잘표현한 작품
그에 걸맞는 음악
바람의검심은 이 추억편으로 소년만화를 뛰어넘어 명작반열에 오름
Why am I crying?😭
The OST and the movie are all masterpieces. Whenever this song starts, I cry
연출 스토리 음악 모든 것 완벽한 내 인생 애니!!!
My first and only anime ever this was, back in 2005-07 can’t remember exactly when. But this series soundtrack left a mark.
LOL..I watched it just a couple of weeks ago.
A mark like a cross on your cheek?
Siempre, toda la vida recordaré esta obra. Esta obra de arte que nos muestra el pasado de un Hitokiri, el presente de un vagabundo y posteriormente el futuro de un padre. 💓💓💓
Viva Kenshin, señoras y señores!!
명작중의 명작 처음봤던날이 진짜 잊혀지지가 않네
세상에 뭐 이런 애니가 있나 하고 놀랐어요.
my absolute FAVORITE. Sends shivers down my spine
This was an amazing ova that explained ruronni kenshin well very sad movie I watched this in early 2000s crazy im almost 37 and today it's fun to reflect and rediscover all my favorites as a kid
Tomoe's last words to Kenshin:
- Manga: "It's all right...Please don't cry..."
- OVA: "I am so sorry, my darling..."
Both are equally tragic yet beautiful...
Ahí dígale
What more interesting in OVA, we are not sure who tomoe refering to when she said I am sorry, if this one for kenshin or for her first love
@@boybakala9677 Yeah, especially since she got some kind of vision of Kiyosato Akira shortly before she decided to get between Kenshin and the old assassin.
If I have to wager, though, I would say it's for Kenshin. Before she left the hut, she had a long monologue, ending with her saying, "Farewell, my second love"
i loved the ova version of tomoe more because of her complex nature compared to her manga and live action counterpart
@@boybakala9677 WTF, on manga she said her last word to kenshin, of course its same
This Anime has the best music by far. Makes sense since it’s also the best anime ever.🔥🔥👌🏼
The last sequence is unforgettable
Una melodía preciosa para una historia de tragedia del mejor OVA que existe
Se me pone la piel de gallina con ese tema una obra maestra
"You really do... make blood fall like the rain"
in the english subtitle that i watch it waa" you.. you cause the rain to bleed you.."
After all this time, this song still gives me chills. This ova is such a masterpiece
when I am not listening to this music but just thinking about this soundtrack I get goosebumps. So much pain and sorrow set in this melancholy.
They remade this in live action. Didn’t come close to the ova’s. Maybe it’s cause I already saw this. But the live action didn’t build up the tone and atmosphere as much. Plus they took out the parts with Sejiro… so they took out part of the philosophical aspect of this story. I feel like his dialogue weighing into everything going on plus his opening speech helped bring you into the movie more.
I saw the begining he kills the first guy a mile from Tomoe but suddenly she gets bathed in blood even when we see the blood did not spill that far and the angles were different, wisely I stopped it there and never came back to the live action.
me sorprende y emociona en como los japoneses pudieron adaptar toda la belleza de su cultura inherente al Japón antiguo en esta serie, sobre todo de estos ovas con tremenda banda sonora, con melodías que entregan tranquilidad y nostálgia
Te recomiendo una peli, el ocaso del samurai. Japón tiene pelis de samurai muy buenas.
Uff su película de Kenshin es buenaza y de calidad
Es hermoso
Understanding the meaning behind the x scar was truly painful and at the same time I felt relief.
여름에서 항상 겨울로 살던 신타가 드디어. 봄에서 죽는구나.
신타...
Wow
Trust & Betrayal is definitely a masterpiece, a classic epic novel grade
Hands down one of the saddest OVAs ever
greatest heartbreaking story
I'm so glad that this anime made my quarantine somehow nice💖
💖
While in Bakumatsu, there's a legendary man named "Battousai the Murderer"
He was feared by a lot of people
Kawakami gensai,the murderer of bakumatsu era
@@yudd4396 can we normalize not mentioning that name ever again? It's annoying
getting goosebumps hearing this again.........
Since 1999, this music has given me chills, as epic as it is melancholy... Masterpiece
This song and this anime I discovered in 2000, are now giving me strength for what I am about to do...
This ova will always have a special place in my heart
Chef d'œuvre final absolu.
J'ai vu le film tellement de fois qu'entendre une musique de l'OST active instantanément la scène correspondante dans ma tête.
Un film, un seul. Tsuioku Hen.
Como dejar de estar obsesionada con esta obra de arte, "excepcional" en todo el sentido de la palabra.. Samurai X es sin duda para mi el mejor anime que pudieron adaptar a la pantalla, tantos bellos recuerdos de mi infancia.
arteee
Las personas que tienen paladar para Samurai X tienen un gran sentido del honor, te recomiendo Saint Seiya
@@Samuel18cba berserk también :)
ahora puedes intentar ver Shingeki no Kyojin. Titan de Ataque.
Comparto tu opinión sobre este tema..relaja ..hasta el corazón más podrido ..🤫
Anybody here after watching Rurouni Kenshin The beginning ?
The film was fantastic. Wished this song was in the film
Yes i returned to this OST because it was missing in the movie. This is also my only remark for the movie, it would be great if it had this OVA OST.
It didn't have the impact the ova life on me
after watched this OVA i felt wanted their story to be the main one ... tomoe character and role is so perfect and touching that make me felt she should nvr died
OVA was much better and mature than the TV series.
@@AK-bs9rk and with a better ending than the manga tbh
RUROUNI KENSHIN: The Beginning could not replicate this masterpiece, it was a good film, but the anime is way better.
agree, even the beginning could not reach the same level as trust and betrayal
20세기 마지막 명작 일본 애니메이션
모든 것이 완벽하다
As a child, in the 90s so many anime and manga were telecast in India also that the number and variety never could inundate my time to watch them!
Out of everything, Samurai X or Rurouni Kenshin was the only show I would watch calmly all by myself in contrast to others!
I would ponder upon so many statements in the show that I leaned into the enquiry of the reasoning and actually base a routine and hence the added maturity! Sad! The eagerness of today’s generation hasn’t tasted the joy in a time with no cellphones
- Hiko Seijuro: ¡No te perdonaré si dejas esta montaña!
- Kenshin: Maestro... mientras nosotros hablamos, mucha gente está muriendo afuera. ¿No es hora de usar este poder...? usar el Mitsurugi Ryu para proteger a la gente.
- Hiko Seijuro: ¡Que discípulo tan idiota! ¿Qué lograrás yendo a la boca del lobo tú solo? si deseas cambiar esta época tan caótica no tendrás otra alternativa, más que escoger un bando. Lo que significa que terminarás siendo manipulado por algún poder político. No te enseñé el Mitsurugi Ryu con ese propósito. Olvídate del mundo exterior y sigue con tu entrenamiento.
- Kenshin: Las personas sufren frente a mis ojos. Mucha gente se encuentra afligida. No puedo permitirme darles la espalda.
- Hiko Seijuro: El Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu es sin duda el estilo supremo.
- Kenshin: ¿No es por esa razón por la que deberíamos de usar esta fuerza? ¿Para proteger a la gente de los conflictos de esta Era? ¿No es para eso el Mitsurugi Ryu...?
- Hiko Seijuro: La espada es un arma. El arte de la espada es el arte de asesinar. No importa la poesía o belleza con la que las describas ésa es la realidad. Para proteger a unos tienes que matar a otros... para permitir a unos vivir, tendrás que dejar a otros morir. Esa es la verdadera enseñanza de la espada. Así como te salvé, tuve que masacrar bandidos. Pero eso no les quita que fueran humanos. No eran más que personas tratando de sobrevivir en este mundo tan decadente. Al momento que abandones esta montaña, sólo comenzarás una matanza sin sentido, guiada por una justicia conflictiva. Si te corrompes, entonces el Mitsurugi Ryu te convertirá en un cruel asesino.
- Kenshin: Aún así... yo... salvaré a las personas que estén sufriendo con este poder. Aún si... aunque sólo fuera una vida más... un alma más... quiero protegerlas con estas manos. Por esa razón... maestro!
- Hiko Seijuro: No me preocupo por idiotas como tú. Así que lárgate a donde te plazca.
- Kenshin: Gracias... muchas gracias.
Hiko Seijuro: Así que el idiota de mi discípulo ha escogido una muy estúpida manera de vivir su vida. A pesar de su inocencia, su camino es inevitable.
