#28 - The meaning of the cross wound
Although it was just a TV series.
Gao Mengwen, however, had invested too much emotion into Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe due to the previous plot, and at this moment, she also felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
Blood stained Yukishiro Tomoe's snow-white clothes red.
The old assassin looked at Yukishiro Tomoe with despair, and after saying one last sentence, he died.
"Really, I don't understand women."
Yes, how could he understand why Yukishiro Tomoe would sacrifice herself at this critical moment to protect a man who killed her fiancé?
Yukishiro Tomoe fell backward into Kenshin's arms, her snow-white skin stained with blood, her dark and clear pupils reflecting Kenshin's sad and tearful face.
Her hand was almost severed by the old man's dagger, but she held onto the dagger tightly, afraid that the old assassin would use it to harm Kenshin.
No matter how Kenshin's vision had not recovered, he knew what he had done.
On the side of his face, blood flowed from the wound Qingli had cut, dripping onto Yukishiro Tomoe.
This scene, this composition.
Perhaps the budget was insufficient, and both the snow scene and the small temple behind them were a bit simple.
But the sadness and depressing aura emanating from the screen made almost every audience member watching this scene in front of the screen feel a pang of sadness.
[What the hell!]
[Writer, you're a beast, aren't you?]
[The writer is the actor playing Kenshin. Damn, look at his expression.]
[What kind of mental illness does he have? Why would he do this?]
[Can she still be saved?]
[Don't even think about it, she's definitely dead. Kenshin's 'Kesa-giri' move cut through Yukishiro Tomoe's right shoulder and internal organs, she's definitely going to die.]
[Cutting through the collarbone from the shoulder, such a long sword wound, the aorta and everything should be severed. Don't even mention the background era in the story, even now, if you get such a cut outside the operating room and get rushed to the rescue, it's just one word, death.]
[Wuwuwu, Yukishiro Tomoe! Why did I watch this show?]
[I should have treated it as finished after watching the third episode. How great would it have been if this show ended in the third episode?]
[Brothers, I can't take it anymore. I can't breathe properly, I'm a little hypoxic.]
The video barrage surged like a geyser at this moment.
Gao Mengwen had already blown her nose several times with a tissue.
She couldn't understand why the writer would do this.
Wouldn't a happy ending be better?
Why?
But the plot continued to advance.
Yukishiro Tomoe fell into Kenshin's arms, looking at Kenshin's tearful appearance and the sword wound on the side of his face that was constantly bleeding.
There was no fear in her eyes, only tenderness towards Kenshin.
She raised the dagger she had snatched from the old man and reached towards Kenshin's head.
The sword wound that Kenshin was cut by Qingli was from the side of his face downwards.
And Yukishiro Tomoe at this moment, held the dagger horizontally and gently made a cut.
Forming a cross-shaped sword wound with the one from her fiancé Qingli.
Gao Mengwen's heart shook violently.
This was the title of the fourth episode.
Cross-shaped wound!
If the resentment from the wound Qingli inflicted on Kenshin's face never dissipated, preventing the wound from healing, then Yukishiro Tomoe would use a new scar to sever the resentment.
Yukishiro Tomoe couldn't take revenge on Kenshin.
Nor could she forget her love for Kenshin.
Even more so, she couldn't convince herself to forget the revenge for her fiancé who went to Kyoto and lost his life in order to achieve fame and success by marrying her.
Saving Kenshin and dying at Kenshin's hands, perhaps, this was the only way she could be worthy of both men at the same time.
Only at this moment did Yukishiro Tomoe reveal a relieved smile on her face.
For the first time, she showed Kenshin a smile without any concealment.
"I'm sorry."
"My husband."
This sentence, "My husband," completely captivated Gao Mengwen and brought the depressing atmosphere of the story to its peak.
A barrage floated by.
[Only at this moment can she forget her guilt towards Qingli and call Kenshin her husband, right? Yukishiro Tomoe used her death to redeem her love for her enemy, Kenshin. And Kenshin swore to protect her, but in the end, he was protected by her and even killed her with his own hands.]
Yukishiro Tomoe's hand slipped weakly, her life force completely dissipated, and the cross-shaped wound on Kenshin's face no longer dripped blood.
Kenshin's expression twisted, grief-stricken, wanting to cry but unable to make a sound, he just hugged Yukishiro Tomoe's body and kept crying.
But a bunch of viewers in front of the screen couldn't take it anymore and started wailing.
[What is this!]
[Is this necessary? Is it necessary?]
[You could have not let her die! You beast writer.]
[As expected, dramas in the hands of Shinozaki Ikumi are not that simple.]
[Rurouni Kenshin is not a bad drama, it is the best and most divine drama I have seen this year. But this writer and this producer are definitely bad people, they have no sympathy at all.]
[Them? What does 'them' refer to?]
[That's right, they are not human.]
[It could have been a happy ending, why! I really can't accept it.]
The audience was angry.
But the source of the anger did not point to the drama itself.
Because the audience instinctively felt the cross-shaped wound Yukishiro Tomoe inflicted on Kenshin and Kenshin's final awakening.
Completely sublimating the theme of the story.
From the resentful sword wound in the first episode to the act of resolving resentment with the cross-shaped sword wound in this episode.
Such a plot elevated the character appeal of both Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe once again.
But anger cannot disappear out of thin air, it can only be vented on the writer's head.
But their anger came a little too early.
If the Rurouni Kenshin: Trust \u0026 Betrayal story ended here, it would indeed be excellent, an outstanding depressing work, but it would not reach the point of being legendary.
The truly bone-chilling depression of this work began after Yukishiro Tomoe's death.
The story continued to advance.
Late at night.
The small wooden house where Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe lived in seclusion.
Kenshin's expression was sad.
Yukishiro Tomoe's body lay in the house.
"I finally understand your pain. You must have been very resentful, very sad."
"But you protected me, allowing someone like me to live."
Kenshin said to Yukishiro Tomoe.
"Now, I must bear this pain and find a path of atonement."
"To repay the kindness of you saving my life, to repay the sins I once committed."
Yes, that's right, following Yukishiro Tomoe is the most cowardly act.
She saved you, not to have you follow her in suicide.
If you decide to end this chaotic world, you must firmly follow your own path.
Yukishiro Tomoe didn't love the Battosai Kenshin, the murderer who killed her fiancé.
But the Kenshin who was clearly in pain from killing, but endured this pain for the happiness of more people.
Gao Mengwen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The story came to an end.
The great traitor Iizuka was exposed and assassinated by another skilled assassin invited by Kenshin's behind-the-scenes organization.
The leader of Kenshin's behind-the-scenes forces, "Katsura," approached Kenshin.
"The traitor Iizuka, I have already eliminated him. When I left Kyoto, I once asked Miss Tomoe to become your scabbard, but now, I'm sorry, Himura."
"Mr. Katsura. I will continue to wield the sword. I will always wield the sword until I end this chaotic world... But when the chaotic world ends, I will never kill another person, never again..." Kenshin looked at Yukishiro Tomoe's body.
After Katsura left, Kenshin made a decision.
The BGM sounded.
"Tomoe, I'm leaving."
Kenshin gripped the sword in his hand.
A large fire burned the wooden house and Yukishiro Tomoe's body to ashes.
The divine soundtrack "In Memories A Boy Meets The Man" sounded again.
Cooperating with the atmosphere of the plot at this time, Gao Mengwen felt her scalp tingle and goosebumps rise.
The next scene was the most peak fighting scene in the four episodes of Rurouni Kenshin.
With constantly interspersed scenes, it showed Kenshin constantly fighting in the following time.
A Kenshin who found a reason to fight, a loved one.
His eyes were no longer confused.
He returned to Kyoto and wielded his sword to overthrow the old and corrupt ruling class.
No matter how many people he faced, he would never retreat.
After that day, Kyoto had a new legend.
A man with a cross-shaped scar on his face became the spokesperson for the Grim Reaper of Kyoto.
But the current Kenshin no longer engaged in assassination, no longer hid his appearance, no longer hid his identity...
Facing the Shinsengumi, Okita, Saito, and others in frontal swordsmanship duels.
Gao Mengwen watched with her eyes not daring to blink.
It was truly the highest level of fighting scene in the entire work so far.
The clash of swords.
The collision of killing intent.
And the sound of the BGM playing to the climax.
Day after day, year after year...
The struggle continued, the killing never stopped.
Kenshin fell asleep at night wrapped in the scarf Yukishiro Tomoe left him.
Kenshin was no longer uneasy and confused.
But the next scene became the most shocking scene in Gao Mengwen's mind in the entire work.
The night wind blew up Kenshin's scarf, and a woman's illusory shadow appeared.
Snow-white clothes, a cold face, she gently embraced the sleeping Kenshin from behind with both hands.
Gao Mengwen's eyes couldn't stop tearing up again.
This...
What is this, it's too much.
Gao Mengwen understood the meaning of the plot.
This figure was of course not Yukishiro Tomoe's ghost still by Kenshin's side.
But it represented that although Yukishiro Tomoe was dead, the time she spent knowing and loving Kenshin would dispel Kenshin's fear and anxiety.
Although she was dead, she still guarded Kenshin's side.
At this moment, it had become art.
Gao Mengwen didn't know how to describe this scene.
An indescribable heaviness and depression.
But she didn't regret watching this show for a moment.
She was complaining about the writer's ruthlessness.
But she was also cheering for the writer's ability to create such a touching story.
The ending was still war and fighting.
When the ending song ended.
The corrupt forces in Kyoto had died out.
The new rulers took power.
The chaotic world ended, and the coldness in Kenshin's eyes quietly melted as he watched this scene.
Finally, the camera returned to that mountain, the mountain where Kenshin buried a group of thieves.
Hiko Seijuro carried wine to commemorate these lonely souls, and in the blood-red sunset, there was a new tomb in this cemetery.
A cross tombstone, surrounded by a scarf fluttering in the wind.
The scarf that guarded Kenshin through countless nights of killing.
Hiko Seijuro closed his eyes, he understood that his disciple, like him, had experienced a similar encounter.
The flashback of the line when the master took Kenshin as his disciple sounded.
"Boy, what's your name?"
"Shinta."
"Too weak, from now on, you will be called Kenshin!"
In the picture, the words [Rurouni Kenshin. End] appeared.
Gao Mengwen's breathing was trembling.
She wanted to scold, but she couldn't scold.
Sadness was about to overflow from her heart.
She was still shocked by the ending of the plot.
Even though it was a drama that made her cry several times in the process.
But at the moment of completion, she enshrined it in her heart without hesitation for a second.
Soon, she clicked on the comments section of the playback page.
She really couldn't bear it, the drama was a divine drama.
The writer was also a divine person.
This kind of divine person should be scolded madly.
Otherwise, he will definitely not change his ways when he creates scripts next time.
In less than two hours.
Several trending searches for the fourth episode of Rurouni Kenshin's plot were scolded by fans into the top ten of Sakura Net's trending searches.
And by midnight at twelve o'clock.
Among the top five trending searches, three were topics scolding Rurouni Kenshin writer Su Yan.
One was a topic scolding producer Shinozaki Ikumi.
Thank you for the rewards from Moonlight Burial Rhapsody, Electromagnetic Fireworks, and K-ON!.
Thank you, big guys.
Thanks(ω)
