Rurouni Kenshin Chapter 226: From a Samurai to a Shizoku
Arigato Gozaimasu to Dave (who is a in my opinion a GOD for doing this summary I've been dying for)!!!
Shinichi reports: At the time, i honestly didn't understand what was
happening at all.
Side text: That day the miracle they saw !!
Shinichi's report: I thought the lighting in front of my eyes would have
fallen, but that was also incorrect.
Within a minute the injured and large man fell on his back.
And the sight of the swordsman over there as he showed himself...
That man...
...was certainly...
THE EYE OF THE STORM !!
Aoshi: It seems like the answer has been found.
Saito: Well, we'll see about that...
Misao: OK ! Himura...LET'S GO !
Megumi: Before that, first i have to treat...
Kujiranami: BATTOSAIIII !!
Policeman on the right: uwa...he stood up !
Police man on the left: He's still got the will ? (sort of like: he
still got the spirit to go on ?)
Kujirinami: BATTOUSAII !!
Misao: He's so damn persistent ! (misao getting rather steamed...)
You can't compare to him, so why don't you just give up already ?
Megumi: It's useless...he's already lost consciousness...and won't
return.
Kenshin: .........
Close up of Kenshin's eyes as he senses what kujiranami's going to do
next...
Kujiranami then swings his cannon arm around and fires at Kenshin !
Big picture of Kenshin flying (well sorta anyway...^_^ ) towards
Kujiranami just after the shot has been fired... With a big (!)
exclamation mark to the right of the panel.
Then, close ups of everyone's shocked faces...
Kenshin: OOO !!
HITEN MITSURUGI RYUU
RYUU SHOU SEN
Picture of kenshin above Kujiranami...then the cannon on the floor.
Then a small picture of Kujiranami remebering...
...that seeing the cannon on the floor reminds him of when his arm was
cut off.
Picture of Kenshin landing with a thud behind Kujiranami...
...then of Kujiranami looking pensive.
Misao: !
Megumi: The colour of his eyes has changed...
Aoshi: The bandage of his warriors's spirit has become the character(or
makings) of his right arm. (i think this line is right...correct me if
i'm wrong... ^_^)
That attack again only half worked to get him to regain concioussness.
Close up of Kenshin with his head bowed with hair over his eyes, looking
solemn.
Aoshi: It could be...
...he is trying to make him. (regain conciousness)
Saito: Hmmm...make him reject it and return, huh ?
And how will he proceed if that doesn't work ?
Will he cut off his left arm next time ?
Kujiranami: I will stop you.
Like the Meiji Ishin, patriots are samurai who come from an age where
pride was stolen...
...and also you have taken my place to die away from me already...
Before my second defeat, I wouldn't think to say it was too soon for
jinchuu...
...but...
...next time with my own hands i will give myself a place to die !
That is your responsibility ! Come on finish me !
Kenshin: I REFUSE.
No matter how bad it was, i cannot make the same mistakes with
everybody.
Kujiranami: DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN WITH SUCH A REPLY ?
If you won't do it, then i'll make my remaining grenades (he says
bullets, but you know... ^_^ ) explode...
...involving everthing around and killing everyone...
Yahiko: I won't let you do that.
Megumi: Yahiko-kun !
Misao: Idiot ! Get back here !!
Yahiko: But even now...you're a samurai aren't you...?
Kenshin's a samurai...you're also a samurai.
Therefore you should know that even if you die you have a different
faith than before.
Then why...
...can't you carry on without a right hand ?!!
A samurai is a samurai...who shouldn't continue with a grudge.
No matter what age pride is in...
...a samurai should not scream about it, that empty sound is just...
If you're a samurai then you should pick up lives for the new age...
...and from now on think about how to cure it.
Kenshin has always, always fought to protect people !
Just because you lost your right arm, you want to go wild and teach and
involve everyone ?
With the left hand you have left what the hell did you come here for ?
If you still want to go ahead with it then, we're both people with only
a left arm !
Close ups of shinichi's, aoshi's, megumi's and misao's eyes in a "what's
he going to do next" type look surround Kujiranami looking down at
Yahiko.
(silence)
Kujiranami: Kid, what's your name ?
Yahiko: (in steamed sd form ^_^ ) I ain't no kid !
I'm a Tokyo Fushizoku, Myoujin Yahiko !!
Come on ! Are going to do it or not ?
Kujiranami turns away...
Kujiranami: Shizoku, huh ?
That's the kind of name i always thought it was...
Kujiranami: (said to yahiko in a quiet voice...i think.) In a new age,
the heart of a weapon is the soul of death, all it does is destroy and
cause misery.
Misao: Were you trying to kill yourself ? You damn idiot !
Shinichi: Are you alright ?
Yahiko: (thinks) It seems that it was my mistake in thinking that...
Megumi: Honestly, all you ever do is crazy things !
Kenshin looks round to see Kujiranami crying...moved to tears by what
Yahiko said.
Kujiranami: It's my loss...
It's as Shizoku Myoujin Yahiko says: A samurai is a samurai, and
therefore should not continue to hold a grudge.
Kenshin: Kujiranami Hyougo...
Why don't you live for the new age again...?
As Kenshin turns away Kujiranami says that same phrase again in his
mind.
Kenshin: Putting one upon another until you no longer need to.
Kujiranami: THANK YOU...
End text: Today, after 4 hours and 47 minutes...Kujiranami Hyougo was
stopped.
Side text: Pulled back at the limit of the Non-killing oath, Rurouni
Kenshin stands once more !
End chapter.
