I’m a sucker for characters who see troubled kids in dangerous situations and basically go “they need parents, guess that’s me now”
me softly: kenshin in k.ny as a pillar / hashira using ‘dragon-breathing’ incorporating hiten mitusurugi-ryu, literally with the name ‘heavenly’ in it because he’d undoubtedly be on par with anyone and also a mentor among them as well as being one of the oldest members besides himejima if not older, and being known as the dragon pillar / dragon hashira with quite a background / reputation of excellence and if not for his kindly nature outside war, intimidating. also me: kenshin being a mixture of his younger self and present self in order to fit the setting and also because he’s at literal war with the demons alongside his other fellow pillars, while being shrouded in mystery because no one knows who is his master / trainer, only whispers, and every time a demon is felled by his blade it’s very, very quick they forget how devastating the attack was. but also having a really open and accepting opinion of demons who are fighting their natures like tamayo and showing their human hearts, suffering from intense empathy despite killing them, possibly knowing the fifth water breathing form of ‘blessed rain after the drought’ which he physically humbled himself to know the form from quite possibly urokodaki or giyuu if only to know a technique that puts them peaceably out of their misery out of sheer agony of the heart despite not erring in his path. also me: he kind of scares the other ( smart ) pillars because no one knows what’s behind that smile unless they actually really know him. that and how is someone so short that insanely powerful and the smart ones really know better than to see him turn that might on them, which he’d never. i think he wouldn’t approve of all of oyakata-sama’s actions especially the last bit, and actually be quite angered and for this reason it’s likely he isn’t made aware because who wants to anger a dragon, right? me again: kenshin actually willing to take on a tsuguko. someone naturally has to have some level of god-speed, maybe not on par with kenshin’s or hiko’s terrifying levels but enough to match the beauty, raw power, colossal speed and terror of his style, a speed shared by wind pillars or at least a close margin. i mean we have a snake pillar i don’t see why a dragon isn’t possible! if not a tsuguko, him just imparting some wisdom that is just life oriented. me: kenshin surviving but at what cost :) by the time the infinity fortress arc is completed kenshin has completed the cross shaped scar.
ok but serious talk, if one were to simply replace all instances of 'oro' with, instead, 'uwu', rurouni kenshin as a series would actually not change at all. because. you know. it. works???
the most deceptive phrasing of all got even more deceptive... this is all cURSED i don’t even have a funny / crack tag rn smh. the sakabato is CRACKED! yeah oro basically is like some form of disarming people from being freaked by his existence and now we amped it up to high quality levels of

also you can tell how loved kaoru is in her community, as both the breadwinner, and an orphan of six months prior. i love how it emphasized her impact already in the lives of people willing to understand the path she walks especially after kenshin kinda...obliterated the entire gang that was going to take her dojo for sale all by himself. them all running to her alone really says a lot of kaoru’s character, and the person kenshin will, and is, inevitably drawn to.
basically kaoru is the light of tokyo.
when the sheer presence / energy of kenshin’s discarded sword from the bakumatsu / revolution makes jin-e flinch and recoil and literally say what the hell is this ? because even kenshin’s imprinted aura is so powerful, he’s touching the sword of the strongest warrior in the revolution and he knows it.
