| Wah! Kaoru!
Misao! Saitou! KENSHIN! (*swoons and dies*) In complete seriousness though,
I really love all of them. I'd personally like to make shrines for everyone,
but for now, this will have to do...
There are some opinions of my own here, but hopefully some useful info as well. Read on! That is, read on, heeding the spoiler warnings that I have tried to mark. ^^ |
| Kenshin Gumi |
| In the
past you said, "A sword is a weapon. Kenjutsu is an art of killing. This
is its true nature. However I prefer the romantic idea of a sword that
protects life rather than such reality" ... This belief will finally become
a reality. We'll all eventually be together... --Kaoru
Battousai finds
new friends in his new life in Tokyo as Kenshin. These friends become like
family to each other, the family that none of them have.
|
| Friends of Kenshin Gumi |
| I am your ally at heart. It's
not just me. Misao and those at the Aoiya, Seikuu's family, and those you
left in Tokyo--we all want you to be safe from harm. Do not forget that.
--Okina
In Tokyo, in Kyoto, the Kenshin-gumi
have friends that they can depend on.
|
| Oniwabanshuu |
| I trained them to be Oniwabanshuu
and I want at least to give them the honor of being known as the strongest.
--Aoshi
A very strong onmitsu/spy group that guarded Edo Castle during the Bakumatsu. |
| Shinsen Gumi |
| "Aku. Soku. Zan." (Kill. Evil.
Instantly.) That was the one truth that we shared with the Hitokiri. --Saitou
The group that patrolled the streets
of Kyoto during the Bakumatsu to kill Ishin Shishi and had several encounters
with Battousai.
|
| Juppon Gatana |
| The weak is the food for the
strong. --Shishio
Juppon Gatana, or the Ten Swords,
led by Shishio who wants to overthrow the government and create hell on
earth.
|
| People of the Past |
| Try being a swordsman with that
at your waist. You'll find out how deeply you believe what you just said.
When that sword breaks, if you still believe that weak joke of yours, come
see me again in Kyoto. --Arai Shakkuu, speaking to Battousai about the
sakabatou
Although they have already met their
deaths before they are introduced in our story, they have undoubtedly engraved
themselves in the memories of the people to whom they were important to
and have changed their lives immensely.
|
| Jinchu Conspirators |
| Tenchuu... The heavens will pass
down punishment... in other words, justice.
Jinchuu... Even if heaven does not punish him, his fellow man will take it into his own hands... in other words, revenge. Six who have devoted their lives
to avenge themselves against Battousai.
|
| Mysteries of Rurouni Kenshin |
| "Saitou, your... wife???!" O.O
"She must be a goddess..." --Kenshin & Misao
|
| Watsuki makes some quite interesting,
unpredictable twists in the story for us. There are spoilers here. You
have been warned. ^^;
|
| Lesser Evils |
| In the shadow of the wall, dirty
ki hangs in the air. Come out. --Kenshin, speaking of the Hiruma brothers
Those who would like to kill Kenshin
and wreak other general havoc but don't manage to be too significant. I
could probably have a ton of filler people here, but then we'd really be
stuck here forever, ne? ^^;;
