Senior, it is the times that chose you.
Zhi Zhixiong said to Kenshin during the final duel.
The previous sentence is really appropriate, I am afraid that in hell, in addition to Shi Zhixiong and Kenshin, there is Saito Canozi Sojiro and all the people with blood on their hands.
The last sentence is probably a bit wrong. They, all of them, no one was chosen by the times. In the end, they were all abandoned by the times.
Kenshin never escaped his predicament. Although in the movie, Ba was transformed into a back figure who caresses a corpse and weeps bitterly, that is still the turning point of Kenshin's murder. Before, he was just killing people, he didn't realize the guilt he was going to take. After that, in addition to killing, he also took on all the guilt and pain. So at the beach, when he heard his guilt, even if it was just a show, he really delayed himself again in his heart. He had long known in his heart that people like him would go to hell no matter what the reason and no matter how they redeemed their sins.
I already said in the last episode that in the era of peace, he just wants to be an ordinary person and stop killing people. What differentiates him from others is his swordsmanship and his habit of abandoning himself. It is these two that have been used countless times by countless people and for countless reasons.
Zhi Zhixiong wanted to overthrow the government, so the government asked him to kill Zhi Zhixiong to maintain the peace and stability of the country.
Cang Zi went to the extreme of paranoia, and the spy leader asked him to kill Cang Zi to prevent the fallen Cang Zi from continuing to harm the world.
Zhi Zhixiong demanded the execution of Kenshin, and in order to preserve its strength, the government really wanted the man they begged to save Japan.
Ito is going to blow up Shi Zhixiong, regardless of whether Kenshin is on board or not, he will also open fire.
Everyone who asked him seemed to have his own reasons. They just asked, they knew that he was a person who was used to abandoning himself, so none of them cared about Kenshin's feelings.
The only people who want Jianxin to think about himself, and who want Jianxin to survive, are only close relatives.
I now finally understand why Kaoru. Because only Kaoru was telling him not to kill anyone at any time. Even though she was naive, she understood what Jian Xin was thinking.
And if Toba Fushimi hadn't abandoned his sword and wandered in the first battle, maybe his fate would be the same as Shi Zhixiong.
So when Ito saw the surviving Kenshin, he should be disappointed.
A warrior like Kenshin should have a heart of stone and live in a troubled world that relies on force. With such a strong fighting force and such a kind heart, in the era of peace, he is destined to be abandoned.
The creation of a new era really needs him. He is also needed to defeat the powerful enemy that threatens the government. The government uses him with peace of mind, but fears his power. When he is no longer needed, he is just a pawn that can be captured.
Zhi Zhixiong and Jian Xin are both government executioners, but in the end, he took a different path. He became twisted, and it was anger and vengeance that changed him.
However, a normal person, who was betrayed and treated so cruelly, who would not be angry and would not want revenge, could it still be called normal?
Like Kenshin, it takes Zhi Zhixiong to overthrow the old era and create a new era, but he is no longer needed in the era of peace. He is a sharp sword, and if you use it badly, you will hurt yourself. Therefore, he was simply abandoned.
The former leader of the Shinsengumi, Saito, known as the "Mibu Wolf", seems to be the one who has adapted best to the new era among all. He accepted the new government and became a policeman, sticking to his belief that "evil is new" and carrying out his justice in times of peace.
But in the end, Kenshin Zuanosuke Cangzi left in the company of his lover and friends, but he stood alone on the beach, facing the corpses of his subordinates and the hypocritical politicians. The powerlessness of the times.
This is not the world he is familiar with. He no longer has comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, nor anyone who can entrust his life. He has been left far behind by a brand-new era.
Also, there are Cang Zi, who fell into paranoia after his subordinates died, and Sojiro, who was brutally abused in his childhood. They, too, have been abandoned by the peaceful and beautiful new era.
But they had blood on their hands, and they knew they would end up in hell.
Therefore, these people who have been abandoned by the times will eventually meet in hell.
