The UltimateTechnique of the Hiten Mitsurugi Style

Samurai X 41

The third video is quite important to me. Why? Because this is the day where Kaoru met Misao, the girl who knew where Kenshin is. I can see in the eyes of Kauro the happiness she feels when she heard the name of Kenshin from the mouth of Misao. She was so eager to see Kenshin.

But when they already know where Kenshin is and was able to see him, it seems that Kenshin was unhappy to see Kaoru and Yahiko. It was confirmed when Kauro asked Kenshin about and was answered that “half of Kenshine is mad and the half was relief”

This is also the beginning of the training of Kenshin for the final technique of Hiten Mitsurugi and I was so thrilled to know what its look like.

A Wish Unrequited

Samurai X 31

This second video shows the saddest part of the story specifically for Kaoru’s side. That day was May 14, the 11^th year of Meiji and that was also the day where Lord Okubo will arrive to get the answer of Kenshin about Shishio, his successor as a man slayer. The wish of Lord Okube from his previous visit was Kenshin will go back to Kyoto to face and to kill Shihio. Shishio wants to rule Japan and and he wants to get rid of the Meiji Government officers to fulfill his plan.

But on the way to Akabeko, where everybody decided to treat Kenshin, Kenshin decided to pay the visit to Lord Akubo and talked to him. Unfortunately, Kenshin didn’t have the chance to see Lord Akubo because it was assassinated by one of the Juppongatana, Soujiro.

And then at that moment Kenshin decided to accept the wish of the dead Lord Akubo. He went back to dojo, but at the road where fireflies were dancing in the midst of darkness he met Kauro waiting for him. He said to Kaoru that he will go back to being a wanderer again and it’s time to say goodbye. He hugged Kauro and without any words left Kaoru alone and vanished into the depth of darkness. 

The Strongest Opponent from the Past

Samurai X 29

In this video, Saito used his power and privilege as a police of the Government to infiltrate the Kamiya dojo while Kenshin was out having his battle with Saito’s fake ally. I was thrilled here because Saito deceived Kaoru by saying that someone suspicious was looking for Kenshin and he came to assue that no one will hurt Kenshin and as a police officer he was assigned to the area to monitor the situation.

On the other side, Kenshin managed to defeat his opponent and gain the information he needed who was behind all the instances. Morning that day, Kenshin was uncomfortable because he continuously reminishing the memory of the past where Saito was involve. And then afternoon came, Kenshin arrived at the dojo and saw that Saito was there.

After some chitchats, the fight between them began, for Saito the purpose of the fight was just to settle the score between them that happened long long time. At first, Kenshin was hesitant to fight but as the fight goes on, Kenshin gradually turns to a Man Slayer and as if the fight between them was the fight during the Bakumatsu.

Kaoru’s voice cannot be heard and when the time has finally come to settle the score, Lord Okube came and stopped the fight.
