Oh you Himura-san, why are you so fun to draw~

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.

on this blog we do not condone rk’s katsura kogoro :) thank you. and he will never, ever, ever get a tag. i looked up katagai and it led me to kogoro and i was like uh..........................’benevolent to kenshin’ ? in a wiki page. i am open to different intrepretations but no matter how much katsura ‘regrets’ ruining kenshin’s life even if kenshin did bring this on himself? katsura still had a hand in him bringing it down, a big, big hand. it didn’t stop him from making a 14-15 year old up until he was 19 and then retiring from the choshu-satsuma alliance as their ultimate soldier any....less...horrifying?

anyway raise your hand if you feel katsura kogoro personally hurt our rurouni.

how is someone who literally point blank says ‘i inspire his passions and make him kill’ that benevolent uhm.. . to be honest the ‘three heroes’ i’m most fond of is okubo due to how badly history treats him but honestly....rk paints him in this really sympathetic light that i don’t have to agree with all of history to be like oh.......

but katsura makes me actually feel...i think what you call disgust. and i’m a really calm and gentle person but this is just a very foreign sensation i always pick up when i think of him oops.

@miburoni​ when miss sunny and i go back into the bakumatsu to meiji restoration times .... ishin shishi and shinsengumi bonding . . . . wholesome..... kenshin and hijikata bonding imminent, a walking mass of talent if i do say so myself. guess i’m making a fate verse and working harder than ever on my research / reviewing! people like her are worth following. this is a polite promo.

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

Wakes up insanely early but also free day so. Honestly don’t know about you but I’m suffering from brain rot but and this blog’s beginning and continuation of having Tumblr completely ..... not make things work right. Will that stop me? Probably not but it’s a bit frustrating! It’s just one of those things that it inevitably when you think it never will, will probably sort itself out. 

Honestly my first meta will be about Kenshin’s red gi but I also just want to talk about one of my favorite fights / that one time Kenshin roasted someone so bad they were almost Shishio 2.0 aka the second battle with Shinomori Aoshi and just how Kenshin gives so much wisdom and inner, unshakable strength of will against empty physical strength and how he calls him out on it as using it to do awful things. 

It’s a great example that while Kenshin is the strongest warrior of the Bakumatsu / Revolution in this canon, that’s literally stated in the opening pages starting our story,  and just how I feel again, Kenshin hones in on what matters. Is it cool that you can single-handedly deal from 14-19 against adult men of the Shinsengumi on your own at once without breaking a sweat greats like Okita Souji and Saito Hajime and make them consider if it’s smart to touch you? Much less be the very person to make them break back or break their stance, again, at once? Yes, it’s very impressive and quite scary and very telling that at that young he’s so strong, in that way.

Is it perhaps even more compelling to me that such a legendary swordsman has a soul, even when it’s ultimately tested and broken, restores itself at the end of the story simply by listening to an innocent girl weeping for his protection to save an innocent life and finds even when he wants to give up, his own will won’t let him? In a way, yes. Both aren’t exclusive. But it gives Kenshin’s title of strongest in battle new meaning when you realize that out of every character in Ruroken, Kenshin’s willpower  / will to live is the highest and  “off the charts “ , canonly in one of the many info books that...I don’t have my hands on.

Me: And most of the series he didn’t even care if he lived or died! GROWTH.

Also me: That is chapters and volumes away / a season away. One thing at a time!

‘ 140 YEARS AGO, IN KYOTO, WITH THE COMING OF THE BLACK SHIPS, THERE EMERGED A WARRIOR CALLED ‘ HITOKIRI BATTOSAI. ‘   FELLING MEN WITH HIS BLOOD-STAINED BLADE, HE CLOSED THE TURBULENT BAKUMATSU ERA                                 AND SLASHED OPEN THE AGE KNOWN AS  ‘ MEIJI ‘ .

HE VANISHED; AND WITH THE FLOW OF YEARS BECAME A LEGEND;  KNOWN SIMPLY AS THE ‘ THE STRONGEST . ‘ 

IN THE ELEVENTH YEAR OF MEIJI,                            IN THE MIDDLE OF TOKYO…

                                        THIS TALE BEGINS…….  ’
