Wakes Up Insanely Early But Also Free Day So. Honestly Don’t Know About You But I’m Suffering From

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.

Darling, you were never meant to be Atlas; Lay down the world for a moment. I promise you, it will not fall.

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 

UWUWUWUW HITOUWUWU BATTOUWUWUWUWU......stwongest of the bakumawstsuwuwuwu....

Strength Of A Thousand Men - Two Steps From Hell

dont underestimate the power of kindness. strength is not being cold hearted and aloof, it’s being amicable in the face of bitterness or gentle with those who need to be loved. so please, if nothing else, be kind.

Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t build character. It only hurts.

"through the dancing poppies stole a breeze most softly lulling to my soul." — john keats, endymion (1818), book I, line 565. 

— you seem to mourn your past, as your inner child has died. you've been through your battles yet still have an immense amount of hope for the future.

a yearning for peace of mind is what you have when you try to look for the sparks you've once felt in your life. but remember, you will no longer have to fight or defend yourself after you grow in a field where the vibrance of your petals are accepted.

HONESTLY THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR SCENE? Maekawa speaks of the old form of kenjutsu  when warriors measure each other with just a glance. He does this with Kenshin and immediately the two of them begin to laugh, or from my translation of my own manga, Maekawa says this:

‘ Don’t worry, Kaoru-kun. I’ve no wish to fight anymore. I can already see that I’ve lost. I gave him my fiercest glare and his eyes just let it flow away.’

 Basically this man, older than Kenshin - has lost to him - and not in malicious intent. Kenshin once again was presented with a powerful will, and no matter the will, his eyes just gently, like water, let them flow away - almost like the wind, he acknowledges someone’s desire to fight him, if they have even an inkling of how powerful he is - and he lets it flow away. He doesn’t want to fight any unnecessary battles and that these two could have a stare-down is a testament to both of them but for this analysis, really, Kenshin, because it shows his depth of will and control . 

He was offered a fight and his air-tight control and heart easily let it roll off his back. He has no desire. He’s seen enough fighting than this man has his entire life - and adding another that has no merit save competing for ‘strength titles’ is useless to a man who is called and feared by all as the ‘strongest’ a title he even claims to Aoshi that he can have because he has no ‘need of it’ all he cares about are the people ‘waiting for his help.’ 

The combined imagery and how gently Kenshin states with merely his eyes how he has no desire to fight a pointless battle is testament to his character, in my opinion, and his strength of heart - enough strength that he can easily, and gently disarm someone’s fighting intent aimed towards him with merely a glance, never losing a warrior’s respect for another.
