Today I'm here to talk a little about a 90s classic that, for me, made history in many ways. Samurai X, or better known as Rurouni Kenshin, is a series ahead of its time that describes the story of a samurai like no other. This series touches on historical themes and shows a hero quite attached to reality, capable of carrying a simple, blunt sword. For me, Kenshin is an ordinary man who deserves admiration and respect for all the fights he undertakes throughout each chapter, in order to clear his dark past and achieve some peace in his life.
Hoy vengo a hablarles un poco sobre un clΓ‘sico de los 90 que para mi hizo historian en muchos aspectos. Samurai X o mejor conocido como Rurouni Kenshin, es una serie adelantada a su Γ©poca que describe la historia de un samurai como ninguna otra. Esta serie toca temas histΓ³ricos y muestra un hΓ©roe bastante apegado a la realidad, capaz de portar una simple espada sin filo. Para mi Kenshin es un hombre comΓΊn y corriente que merece admiraciΓ³n y respeto por todas las luchas arremetidas que lleva a cabo a lo largo de cada capΓtulo con la finalidad de limpiar su oscuro pasado y conseguir algo de paz en su vida.
This man, who begins a new life walking the streets of Japan after the Meiji Restoration, decides to start over as a stranger, specifically as a vagrant. Thus begins his new story, wanting to leave the past behind and make amends for the atrocities he committed after taking the nickname BattΕsai the Destroyer. With this introduction, the series seemed extremely unique and extraordinary to me, because it raises the idea of a man who could be described as a villain in his past, where he mercilessly murdered innocent people, and then wants a drastic change in his life because he reached his limit and his conscience needs to find the peace he lost for decades because of his job.
Este hombre que se inicia una nueva paseΓ‘ndose por las calles del JapΓ³n, luego de la RestauraciΓ³n Meiji, decide empezar de nuevo como un desconocido, especΓficamente como un bagabundo. AsΓ inicia su nueva historia, queriendo dejar el pasado a un lado y remendar las atrocidades que llevΓ³ a cabo tras apodarse como BattΕsai el Destajador. Ya con esta introducciΓ³n la serie se me hizo extremadamente ΓΊnica y extraordinaria, porque plantea la idea de un hombre que se podrΓa describir como un villano en su pasado, donde asesinΓ³ a personas inocentes sin piedad, para luego querer un cambio drΓ‘stico en su vida porque llegΓ³ a su lΓmite y su conciencia necesita encontrar una paz que perdiΓ³ por dΓ©cadas a causa de su oficio.
I find these types of characters worthy of admiration because they show the most human side of any person. A regret that haunts every night the one who steals another's life. Watching how Kenshin decides, at all costs, to lead a completely different life, following the path of righteousness and justice, is what I enjoyed most about the entire plot. Each fight was like an evolutionary lesson for Kenshin, helping him atone for his sins, do justice, and spread peace wherever he walked. And the best part was not this, but that his opponents were also so deeply impacted after the fight that, like Kenshin, they found some peace or were so inspired that they were inclined to follow in his footsteps with honor, respect, and justice.
Este tipo de personajes me resulta digno de admiraciΓ³n porque muestra el lado mΓ‘s humano de cualquier persona. Un arrepentimiento que asecha cada noche a quien le roba la vida a otro. Ver como Kenshin decide a como de lugar llevar una vida completamente diferente, por el camino de rectitud y la justicia es lo que mΓ‘s disfrutΓ© de toda la trama. Cada pelea era como una enseΓ±anza evolutiva para Kenshin, que lo ayudaba a expiar sus pecados, hacer justicia y esparcir la paz por donde transitaba su camino. Y lo mejor no era esto sino que sus oponentes tambiΓ©n sufrΓan un impacto tan grande tras el combate que al igual que Kenshin, encontraban algo de paz o los inspiraba tanto que se inclinaban a seguir los pasos de este con honor, respeto y justicia.
Plus, the suspense was generated with each opponent, where the author of the story made the viewer doubt whether Kenshin could win, seeing the opponent so much stronger than him, not only because of his muscles, but also because of his great size and agility. For me, there were many epic and unforgettable fights throughout all the seasons. I have a few favorite characters, and here I don't discriminate whether they are the good guys or the villains, because they all hold a special place in my heart. And I know a remake of this series has come out, but I haven't dared to watch it because I think it might take away the magic of what I experienced with the first version, so for now, I'm content, and I'm choosing the '90s version without hesitation.
AdemΓ‘s el suspenso que se generaba con cada oponente, donde el autor de la historia hacΓa que el espectador dudara si era posible una victoria de parte de Kenshin al ver al oponente mucho mΓ‘s fuerte que Γ©l no sΓ³lo por sus mΓΊsculos, sino por su gran tamaΓ±o y agilidades. Para mΓ hubieron muchas peleas Γ©picas e inolvidables en todas las temporadas. Tengo unos cuantos personajes favoritos, y aqui no discrimino si son los buenos o si son los villanos, porque todos ocupan un lugar especial en mi corazΓ³n. Y sΓ© que ha salido una nueva versiΓ³n de esta serie, pero no me he atrevido a verla porque pienso que podrΓa quitarle la magia de lo que vivΓ con su primera versiΓ³n, por lo que por el momento me conformo y elijo la versiΓ³n de los 90 sin dudarlo.
How can we forget Shishio, Soujiru, Aoshi, and many other villains who gave their all in every fight, and even though they thought they were invincible, when they faced Kenshin, something in them clicked, awakening their consciousness and choosing to change. The most memorable confrontations I remember are those in Juppongatana and those the protagonist also had with the OniwabanshΕ« group. Every fight was brilliant; each character was unique, impactful, and unforgettable. This series isn't just another story about a samurai. It's the story of a hero made human who touched the lives of many, to the point of creating a better quality of life in the beautiful country of Japan.
CΓ³mo olvidar a Shishio, Soujiru, Aoshi y muchos mΓ‘s villanos que lo dieron todo en cada pelea y aunque se creyeron invensibles, al enfrentarse a Kenshin, algo en ellos hizo click para despertar la conciencia y optar por cambiar. Los enfrentamientos mΓ‘s memorables que recuerdo son los de Juppongatana y los que tuvo el protagonista tambiΓ©n con el grupo de los OniwabanshΕ«. Cada pelea estuvo genial, cada personaje fue ΓΊnico, impactante e inolvidable. Esta serie no es una historia mΓ‘s sobre un samurai. Es la historia de un hΓ©roe hecho humano que marcΓ³ la vida de muchos, a tal punto de crear una mejor calidad de vida en el hermoso paΓs de JapΓ³n.
