Rurouni Kenshin Episode 61

aint it grand? LOLOLOL

i wonder myself if well see him one more time just to see how he's been

i shall respond in kind:

1) i got nothing to add here, dead on accurate. we are all judged by those that come after us.

2) its true that in that scenario kenshin won because he was the stronger. however, thats missing the point, Kenshin wasnt fighting to prove he was the stronger or to kill shishio, he was fighting to protect those who could not protect themselves. in other words, the weak have just as much right to live and live happily as anyone else and more over, it should be the job of the strong to protect their right and ability to do so.

3) fair question, but yes, i do believe he w

would have still won. while both were on the whole equal, shishio perhaps having a strength advantage while Kenshin had speed, it think its fair to say that in light of the wounds he began with to fight Shishio to the point where he is forced to admit whoever struck the next blow would win shows greater resolve on the part of kenshin, even if the final outcome was decided by external influences.

also, its worth asking, did kenshin win because hes the main character, or is he the main character because he won?
