Rurouni Kenshin Chapter 255 Discussion

a baby Kenshin! *-*

Goodbye kenshin...goodbye rurouni kenshin....thanks for all those great moments, those cool and legendary figths, those endearing characters, those amazing stories...then...sayonara mina! now let's moving on!

Finally finished, not as good as I expected tbh.

Way too cheesy, I thought the story is more mature compared to other long shounen.

The fights were repetitive and lacked of hype since most of the villain were stereotype fodder.



6/10

They know Ota, don't they? At RKwiki it says he did went to train in Kaoru's dojo, but I'm not sure if his name is on the boards on the wall of the dojo on chapter 255.



This chapter 255 ended the series perfectly [ even though there's still some chapters later ]. I think that Kenshin handing over the Sabakatou to Yahiko, giving up of something that was with him for such a long time, and still being happy can be compared to us, "losing" such an amazing story but being happy for having read it, for having supported and learned with it.



Rurouni Kenshin has always been and always will be my favorite manga.

A fascinating history, mixed with historical interesting facts about the Japan, amazing fights, where even the most strange technics had such simple explanations that they seemed almost possible, amazing characters, amazing development, etc, etc.

Whenever people ask me for a manga recomendation, the first thing I ask is if they have already read RK, because I think it is a "must read'.



I also hope for an adaptation worthy the name Rurouni Kenshin, with no fillers, as there's no need for them, and with the Jinchuu arc. I've always wanted it, and with the release of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood I just kept thinking "If they reanimated FMA, why not do it with RK?". Let's hope they do it someday.

I like to see more of Hiko Seijuro to be honest

The last chapter was a very satisfying ending in my opinion.



Rurouni Kenshin was one of the first anime that I watched, and has always been one of my favorites. I know it's just a shonen, but there's lots of lessons in it that I think about sometimes, and overall I think that they have made a positive impact on my life.

I think one of the best things in Ruroken is that the manga is remarkably not pretentious and plays into some of the biggest strenghts a shonen manga. Arguably that also brings some problems the genre has with it, but I just can't bring myself to hate it.



I think I might switch out Shigurui from my favorites to this, though both play into some very different style of storytelling. Shigurui made me fap, but Ruroken put a smile on my face.

Of course, I rate it 10/10.



The ending chapter is so perfect, what with Kenshin testing Yahiko's maturity and passing the sakabatou onto him, even though Yahiko lost their fight. To me, it echoes when Hiko passed the Mitsurugi secrets down to Kenshin even though Kenshin couldn't hit Hiko with his Kuzuryusen.



And of course little Kenji is extremely adorable. To be able to climb up onto the roof of a building at two or three years old hints at what a genius this child will be as he grows into himself.
