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.
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.

“patience” is not a word, it’s a whole mental and psychological mindset
A sword is a weapon. The art of swordsmanship is learning how to kill. That is the truth. What Miss Kaoru says is sweet and innocent talk that only those whose hands have never been stained with the blood of men can believe. But, to tell you the truth, I much prefer Miss Kaoru’s sweet and innocent talk over the truth, indeed I do!.
