His bleeding heart... 🥀🥲

[reccyls]

Kenshin's sequel passionate route spoilers.

Big content warning under the cut as well

CW: suicide

Mai uses her time powers to create a wormhole to save Shingen's life by sending him (and Sasuke) into the future so he can receive medical treatment. This is way more than she has ever done before, so she falls unconscious, and then begins to have a prophetic dream: she saved Shingen's life, but creating the wormhole took so much out of her that she faded away from existence.

Kenshin completely loses it, and has killed Kicho & everyone else connected with him. When Kanetsugu tells him that there is no more battle left to fight because there are no enemies left, Kenshin just smiles and then pulls out his sword to cut his own throat, saying that now that there is nothing left for him in the world of the living, he can now join Mai.

I just finished the Ikesen manga, and I gotta talk about it or I’ll explode, sooo

~~~Nobunaga route/Sasuke spoilers below~~~

It’s been ages since I read Nobunaga’s route, but I definitely didn’t consider how insanely painful it had to have been for Sasuke to train for 4 years to be able to protect Mai, only to watch her get stabbed right in front of him. And the only way to protect her after that was to run away.

He almost lost Kenshin AND Mai and I have feeeeelings 🥺

~~~

ALSO 👏 I’d like to say that I recommend the manga even if you’ve read Nobunaga’s route. It shows a lot of background scenes of the other suitors (coughcoughMitsuhidecough) which is very satisfying. The art is beautiful and the facial expressions are sooo so good.

And as a bonus for reading my silly post, here is a beautiful, moderately less-sad ninja:

[princelucaorlem]

Can you make a headcanon based on reality and how the warlords from the Ikemen Sengoku game treat their first born child?

Thanks for the ask! Of course. Spoilers below, since I added things for game there as well.

How the warlords will treat their first born child

Oda forces

Nobunaga: He will be protective of his daughter, since she was the first born after all. He will smile and play with her, he will even make her attend war councils.

Hideyoshi: He has a son through a concubine, since his wife couldn't bear children. He teaches his son how to write and read, probably. He smiles a lot to his son.

Mitsuhide: In reality he has a son. He will love and protect his son, he most likely teach his son how to tease others. In his route, he has a daughter who died at seven years old, due to her illness, he often called his daughter "little mouse" and he told Mai that she often reminded him of his daughter... and why he uses that nickname on Mai.

Mitsunari: He has a son, and he most likely tell his son tons of stories from books. Or he will tell his son about other stories he makes up as well.

Masamune: He has a son. He will make a saddle for his son and teach him how to ride a pony when he's a child. He will also tell his son many adventures he had.

Ieyasu: He has a son. He will teach his son about medicine. He probably get his son to love spicy foods, like he does.

Ranmaru: Well... he actually died in reality at 19 and he never had kids. I know he is 19 in the Ikemen Sengoku game too, but so far it doesn't say he has a child, but then again... waiting for his route to get released so we find out more.

Keiji: He has twins, one girl and one boy. He loves his children and always brings them everywhere with him.

Uesugi-Takeda alliance

Kenshin: He never loved anyone in reality, plus he often cross-dressed and wanted to be known as a woman. In the game, he doesn't cross-dress, but he does push women away, due to his only love for Isehime and once she killed herself at fourteen, he started to push them away.

Shingen: He has a son of course. He makes a wooden sword for his son. He spoils his son, and often holds him in his arms. Even when Mai isn't around, he is always around to try to get his son to smile.

Yukimura: He has a son. He smiles and cares about his son. He even tries his best with his son, and he even teaches him how to fight.

Yoshimoto: He has a son. He often teaches his son about art, and smiles at him. He makes sure his son is always happy.

Kanetsugu: He has a daughter. He loves his daughter very much, even though she grows up to be a ninja. (This is based on the reality of him.)

Sasuke: (Since he is a made-up character like Mai is, I guess I can put anything here.) He will have a son first. He will teach his son how to be a ninja and how to be super silent.

lone forces

Kennyo: In reality he has three sons, so of course his first born is a boy. He treasures his son greatly, and he often thinks he doesn't deserve it. But he often holds his son closely to his chest. He even tells his son about Buddha.

Kicho: In reality wise? You sure? Okay... well, since Kicho is really a female in reality, she did have one daughter when Kicho was very old at that... and that's why Nobunaga didn't like her at first, since was unable to bear a child until very long. But Kicho loves her daughter greatly, even though Kicho is very sick... once she gives birth to her. For the game, well... Kicho is male and gay, I'm sure he adopts a child and loves them very much.

Motonari: He has a son. He will travel by boat with his son, probably teach him about fishing. He will often give his son piggy-back rides.

otome game hot take... (spoilers for toma's route in amnesia memories)

toma's route wasn't even THAT bad. like... people were talking abt being like trauamatized from the cage scene but it really wasn't that bad ?? I was gen expecting some boyfriend to death strade type shit but no. he just drugs you and locks u up. yeah that's totally insane but considering the fact that the MC was ACTIVELY endangering herself by going outside it makes some sense. like duh too far but,, it really wasnt as bad as people made it out to be. maybe it's just cuz I'm real fucked up but that sounds great. a cage to sleep in? with a bunch of cute teddies?? a guy who loves me a lot??? hes willing to buy whatever to make me happy???? fuck yeah!!! am I missing smth or what. cuz that was maybe slightly over mild. these ppl are gonna have heart attacks out when they hear abt kenshin ikesen starting a war and killing a bunch of (innocent) people over the mc getting attacked LMAO...

[cosmicstarlatte]

kenshin route spoilers if you haven't played

otome moments I will always cherish:

shingen being a little shit to kenshin by writing him a letter stating he was gonna visit the imprisoned mc & 'making sure the futon was soft enough' for the mc. 😏 Kenshin ran so quick.♡🤭

[towerbetweenworlds]

Before Sannan had a route, my heart went to Hijikata. I still think the latter has the most interesting and complete of routes (not only is he the "canonical" in anime, he outlives many of the other Shinsengumi in history, being alive all the way up to the end of the Boshin War.)

Conversely, Sannan, or Yamagami Keisuke, is the first of the Shinsengumi core members to die in history. He's also considered to be among the most principled of the lot, if a little uptight compared to the rural stock most of the other members come from.

(As an aside: I have an interest in feudal Japanese history that goes beyond my love for Hakuouki, my primary interest being in the Sengoku or Warring States period. But I do credit the otome game for getting me truly interested in the period between the Black Ships / Commodore Perry's arrival and the start of the Meiji Restoration. So my fansploding over Sannan will definitely be interspersed with thoughts of the historic events, people, and places Hakuoki is based on.)

My knowledge of the historical Sannan is why I always side-eyed at the idea that he's just a purely evil and unlikable character in the game. I know it can depend a LOT on the route you play, but...

[I guess it is spoiler time now, specifically for Sannan and Heisuke routes]

...pretty much every character in the game has at least *some* basis in known history, albeit highly romanticized (duh). So it makes way more sense to me for Sannan's cold, calculating, and ruthless attitude to be only one part of his truth, and for his deep love and loyalty to the Shinsengumi (and Chizuru!!) to feature strongly in his motivations under the surface.

I also love that while he's terribly antagonistic in Heisuke's route, he actually subverts this in his own route by *pretending* to kill him to sell his strategy to get closer to Yukimura Kodo.

I won't entirely absolve Sannan because he does do some abjectly awful things, even in his route. Honestly, that's true of the historical Shinsengumi as a whole, which is why their reputation can range from the villainous (see: Rurouni Kenshin, minus Harada of course--he's a good boy in all media afaik) to the heroic but ultimately tragic (see: the NHK Shinsengumi! taiga drama, which generally paints them in a positive light, but does not shy from portraying when their members make questionable decisions.) I get why he thought he had to keep Chizuru in the dark about his plans, but I do think he could have trusted her more to hold up her end of things if they worked together.

Honestly, I think Sannan's depression (as someone quite familiar with that particular psychological condition, I can say with confidence he definitely suffered it, especially when triggered by feeling worthless) makes it hard for him to accept that someone could love him enough to follow him boldly into his schemes while trusting he will not fall completely. The game makes it clear that Chizuru's love is a deciding factor when it comes to him taking a less heinous path toward finding a true purpose in life. She ensures his despair and desperation do not swallow him whole, both due to the chance for redemption she represents for him, and because her blood makes it possible for him to do more for longer without losing his sanity to the Ochimizu.

On the other hand, the dark, twisted side of him that leads him to decide that forcing a kiss on Sen to turn her into a demon rasetsu is a good idea (for example) is still part of who he is. That is something much harder to accept. He can be deliberately cruel, if only to keep people at arms length so he can keep wallowing in his pain, and he can be terrible at considering the human factor in the schemes within schemes he plots. At his worst, he discards emotions and morality as a hindrance to his goals, and that's just not a good way to handle things. He should not be given a free pass to be abusive, no matter if it is due to his fragile self-esteem, his fear of letting people too close, or his tendency to hyperfocus on the endgame.

I think all of us have the potential to rise or fall depending on our circumstances--our genetics, where we were born, how our parents/guardians raised us, important people in our lives, life-altering events that befall us. As a multiply marginalized person, I drew the short straw in many ways, but I am extremely fortunate to have a supportive spouse who knows me like no one else, whom I can trust with my life. Genuine love from a worthy life partner can truly be transformative if you are fortunate to find it. It's not the only way to reach a state of greater happiness and stability, but it is *A* way, and I choose to believe it works wonderfully for Sannan and Chizuru.

Maybe it's cliche to say he just needs love. Haha. But he definitely needs help avoiding the pitfall of devaluing himself and others so much that the kinder, gentler parts of his nature are smothered.

Spoilers - Kanetsugu's Route

Poor Kenshin, this route is really messing with his feelings .

He cares so much and doesn't know how to express it, so we see the denial, the surprise sword attack (not that surprising tho), the "I'll kill you" he constantly says, and so on

[persephonebutdepressed]

kenshin in kanetsugu's route may have been the best version of kenshin yet

kenshin is such a softie.... he was amazing throughout kanetsugu's route

I Will Take You Tonight (Part 2)

These translations are not intended as a replacement for the game. Please support Cybird by buying their stories. Expect grammatical errors. Not 100% accurate. Spoilers under the cut.

The warlords returned to the dressing room.

Yukimura: “There’s no time to waste. We need to hurry and go help her.”

Shingen: “Acting without a plan is not a wise choice. This is not the time to act willy-nilly.”

Nobunaga: “You guys, write this first.”

Nobunaga showed everyone the notice the staff had just given him.

Kennyo: “What’s the point of writing it if we don’t know who the enemy is?”

Kicho: “Don’t tell me you’ll use the TV station?”

Everyone: “!”

Nobunaga: “That’s right. I already talked with the staff earlier.”

Nobunaga: “We’ll use the tv to declare war on those who have kidnapped Mai and save her as a phantom thief while watching for their move.”

Mitsuhide: “The tv station is willing to cooperate as long as they can capture exciting footage of the renowned phantom thieves.”

Sasuke: “If that’s the case, let’s write a warning letter first.”

And so each person let their pen run across the paper as they wrote their warnings.

Yoshimoto: “I think that’s enough for all of us.”

Sasuke: “Seventeen warning letters are overwhelming. I think some of them even contain threats.”

Ranmaru: “Some of them are a little scary because they’re worried about Lady Mai.”

Kenshin: “Staff, take this.”

The staff member who received the letters from Kenshin proceeded to respond. Shortly after, they received a response from the culprit.

Staff: “I received an email.”

Mitsunari: “I will keep this woman as my treasure. He’s provoking us.”

Kenshin: “I’m gonna kill him right now.”

Kicho: “You have every right to be angry, but you need to calm down. We have a lot of work to do.”

Kicho: “Sasuke, you’re a ninja, right?”

Sasuke: “Yeah. I know how to do a reverse tracing.”

Sasuke: “Excuse me, staff.”

Sasuke started doing something with the laptop.

Yukimura: “Wow. I have no idea what you’re doing.”

Sasuke: “Thanks. Oh, it’s done.”

He adjusted the laptop so everyone could see the map on the screen.

Sasuke: "I traced the email successfully. I've identified the source and where it was sent."

Keiji: "Let's go there right away."

Mitsuhide: "No, wait. The culprits have sent us a provoking message. They may be a well-prepared group."

Nobunaga: "Yeah. We'll split up into teams from here."

Nobunaga: "Sapphire will secure a route to sneak into the building, Ruby will eliminate the guards, while diamond will secure Mai."

Ieyasu: “What if Sapphire and Ruby find Mai first?”

Kicho: “After infiltrating it, it’d be best for each individual to make their own judgment and proceed with the rescue.”

Kicho: “How about we call your plan “A” and “B” for Diamond’s plan?”

Mitsunari: “That sounds good.”

Nobunaga: “Ours is plan A. Our priority is to protect her.”

The building that Sasuke identified turned out to be an exclusive luxury hotel.

Hideyoshi: “So far, so good.”

Ieyasu: “This lounge was open to non-members as well.”

Mitsunari: “Lord Hideyoshi, Lord Ieyasu.”

Shingen: “We’ve got some information.”

Mitsunari and Shingen, who were out gathering information, returned.

Hideyoshi: “You’re fast.”

Mitsunari: “I got the room number used by the person who runs this hotel.”

Nobunaga: “Our mission here is also complete.”

Nobunaga joined the four of them, and at that moment, he received a message.

Nobunaga: “It’s from Yoshimoto. He went in from the back, disguised as a contractor.”

Nobunaga: “He said he successfully infiltrated. We’re going to join him.”

Ieyasu: “Did you get what we were looking for?”

Nobunaga: “I told you the mission is complete.”

He smiled and tossed the membership cards for six people onto the desk.

Hideyoshi: “As expected of Lord Nobunaga! With this, we can infiltrate even beyond the lobby.”

Nobunaga: “Yeah, from the lobby and beyond.”

Nobunaga: “I sent Yoshimoto there because I believe there’s a route that can’t be accessed from the guest side.”

Shingen: “I don’t see this going down easily.”

The five used their membership cards to sneak inside the hotel.

Afterward, they received a message from Yoshimoto and met in a deserted hallway.

Yoshimoto: “As I thought, there’s a floor that is inaccessible to both guests and employees.”

Shingen: “I heard that the hotel manager’s private floor is on the top floor, the 33rd floor.”

Shingen: “Where is the floor that we can’t enter?”

Yoshimoto: “This building is actually 34 stories high.”

Mitsunari: “Then the owner’s actual residence is on the 34th floor.”

Yoshimoto: “Probably. But the elevator only goes up to the 33rd floor.”

Ieyasu: “Is there a staircase?

Yoshimoto: “It looks like someone tampered with the elevator.”

Yoshimoto: “You can only get to the 34th floor by inserting a key that only some of the staff have.”

Yoshimoto: “But there are surveillance cameras.”

Yoshimoto: “We need to do something about it, or the alarm will go off immediately.”

Yoshimoto: “Even if we reach the 34th floor, there’ll be a commotion right away.”

Mitsunari: “If we have that much information, then we can split up and solve the problem.”

Shingen: “Yoshimoto and I will get the key.”

Nobunaga: “We’ll handle the surveillance cameras.”

Nodding to each other, Nobunaga and the others split into two groups.

A few minutes later一

Nobunaga: “Looks like you got the key.”

Shingen: “Of course. Looks like you took care of the surveillance cameras.”

Mitsunari: “We tampered with them to make the recorded footage loop.”

Ieyasu: “We can now infiltrate the top floor.”

Hideyoshi: “Let’s hurry and get there.”

And so the five of them boarded the elevator.

Meanwhile, the warlords of Team Ruby were waiting on the roof.

Masamune checked his phone as he received a message.

Masamune: “Sapphire has secured the route to infiltrate the floor owned by the kidnapper.”

Keiji: “As expected of Lord Nobunaga.”

Kanetsugu: “And where is it?”

Masamune: “The top floor, but apparently, there are a lot of security guards there.”

Yukimura: “I see. So we just need to take care of them.”

Masamune: “Exactly.”

Then Ranmaru and Sasuke returned. Both were looking for other ways to infiltrate the hotel.

Ranmaru: “I found a way through the vent, but it was pretty narrow. I think I’m the only one who could fit in there.”

Sasuke: “The route from it is connected to the top floor.”

Keiji: “Why don’t we see if we can enter through the window?”

Kanetsugu: “We’ll attract attention if we go in a large group. Yukimura and I will use the wire gun and check it.”

Masamune: “I’m counting on you.”

Kanetsugu and Yukimura deftly used the wire guns, suspending themselves from the rooftop and maneuvering along the windows.

Sasuke: “Yukimura, Kanetsugu. Are you guys all right?”

Sasuke and the others watched them from the rooftop and called out to them.

Kanetsugu: “It’s windy, but no problem.”

Yukimura: “There’s a room with no lights on. Let’s try entering from there.”

The two nodded at each other and placed their feet on the window’s ledge.

Then, Yukimura lightly tapped on the glass and shook his head.

Sasuke: “It’s probably coated with a special coating.”

Ranmaru: “I’ll try to break in through the vent.”

Keiji: “We’ll just have to find a window somewhere to break in.”

As they investigated, Yukimura and the others finally found a window that could be broken.

Kanetsugu: “If we break it, people will immediately rush to it. Sasuke, the thing.”

Sasuke: “Got it. We’ll use this glass cutter to cut it.”

Kanetsugu disconnected the glass, making sure not to drop it.

At that moment, Masamune's cell phone rang, and he received a call from Ranmaru.

Masamune: "Yeah, okay."

Masamune: "According to Ranmaru, there are thirty guards."

Sasuke: "That's five guards each."

Keiji: "I'll take ten."

Masamune: "You think I'll back down?"

While they argued, Kanetsugu and Yukimura managed to sneak into the restroom.

Yukimura: "Hey, you guys come down too."

Keiji: "Coming!"

Masamune and the others also used wire guns from the rooftop to get down to the restroom.

The five men exited the restroom and moved to a nearby warehouse.

Ranmaru: "Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Peeking out of the vent, Ranmaru landed on his feet and quickly pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, revealing a floor plan.

Ranmaru: "There are 30 guards. And then here..."

Ranmaru: "There's one room that's heavily guarded."

Keiji: "That's where Mai would be."

Sasuke: "We should go there as soon as possible."

Yukimura: "She's waiting for us."

Masamune: "Yeah, I won't let anyone hurt her."

Kanetsugu: "We'll get her back ourselves."

Ranmaru: "Yeah, let's go!"

Meanwhile, the warlords of Team Diamond一

Motonari: "I hope you're ready for me to steal you away."

Motonari turned towards the camera and dramatically flipped his cape.

Kicho: "You're not doing a good job flipping the cape. Let's start over."

Motonari: ".........."

Staff 1: "E-Excuse me! You were still cool!"

The staff hurriedly followed up on Motonari's moody air.

Motonari: "I'll do it again. Hey, start rolling the camera!"

Staff 1: "O-Okay!"

Kennyo: "This is not the time for this."

Kenshin: "End this farce immediately."

The warlords of Team Diamond were filming a scene in which a phantom thief announced himself at the request of the TV station.

Mitsuhide: "There's no need to rush. The preparations are complete."

Mitsuhide checked his phone and smirked.

Mitsuhide: "Alright, staff, let's proceed."

Kicho: "Is everything ready?"

Mitsuhide: "Yeah. Let's get this show started."

Mitsuhide and the others boldly entered the hotel in their phantom thief costumes, making a grand entrance.

Guest 1: “What’s with those guys?

Guest 2: “Cameras are rolling. Maybe they’re filming something. It’s nice.”

Some people were suspicious, while others were admiring.

Kenshin: “Make way for us, please.”

Motonari: “This is getting interesting.”

Kicho: “Why don’t you look a little more like a thief?”

Kennyo: “We’re attracting too much attention. This will make the enemies wary of us.”

Mitsuhide: “That’s the concept of this team.”

Kenshin: “Yeah. If we make a flashy frontal breakthrough as part of the filming, the security’s attention will turn to us.”

Motonari: “If Sapphire and Ruby are already inside, it could serve as a diversionary tactic.”

Hotel staff: “Sir, you’re bothering the guests.”

Hearing the commotion, the hotel staff stood in the way of Mitsuhide and the others.

Kennyo: “Sorry, but we’re in a hurry.”

Kenshin: “I’m the one who will rescue Mai.”

Hotel staff: “Our hotel is for members only. If you don’t have a membership card一”

Motonari: “You mean this thing?”

Motonari handed the membership cards for each member to the hotel staff, grinning.

Kicho: “You work fast.”

Mitsuhide: “The plan is going well. Let’s continue.”

Mitsuhide and the others, having infiltrated the hotel’s interior, used their smartphones to check the status of the other teams.

Motonari: “Is Sapphire heading to the top floor using the elevator?”

Kennyo: "Ruby is entering through the window and dealing with the security guards, yes?"

Kicho: "We still have two unfinished tasks."

Kicho: "To secure an escape route and to get the key to the room where Mai is."

Mitsuhide: "I arranged an escape route through the window and asked the tv station for a helicopter."

Motonari: "I've got a hang glider, too, so that's not a problem."

Kicho: "I'll get the keys. I just wish I had a floor plan of the inside of this hotel."

Kennyo: "Then I'll get the floor plan."

Kenshin: "I'll create a diversion."

Motonari: "Then I'll also create a diversion. It's better to keep the enemy's attention divided as much as possible."

Mitsuhide: "Alright, everyone. I'll gather some information. Contact me if anything comes up."

The warlords of Team Diamond left to do their part.

(Where am I?)

Mai: "----!"

I woke up and found myself in a room full of artwork and jewelry.

(Someone attacked me back at the TV station.)

Man: "Did you wake up?"

Mai: "Who the hell are you?"

A man dressed in expensive clothes was looking down at me.

I also noticed several men guarding the room.

Mai: "Why did you...?"

Man: "I'm a collector with a lot of money and time on my hands."

Man: "I only kidnapped you because I happen to like you. And to add you to my collection."

(C-Collection!?)

Mai: "I refuse! Please let me go!"

Man: "I like that competitive spirit. It's getting harder and harder for me to let you go."

(W-What should I do?)

I looked around to see if there was any place I could escape to, but一

(There are too many guards. There's no way out.)

(I'm sure everyone will come to help me.)

(There's no way they will lose to these people.)

When Nobunaga and the others took the elevator to the top floor, they found Masamune and the others fighting with the security guards.

Masamune: "Too late. Oops."

Masamune intercepted the guard who attacked him and chuckled.

Nobunaga: "You guys are going all out."

Keiji: "Nah, the security guys just keep coming one after the other."

Ieyasu: "Well, I'm sure they already expected us to come."

Hideyoshi: "We'll help you too."

Nobunaga and the others were about to join the battle when一

Mitsuhide: "Well, well, well. I didn't realize we were all stuck together."

Motonari: "We've reduced their numbers during the diversion."

Kenshin: "I don't care how many people are there. I'll get rid of anyone who gets in my way."

Guard: "I won't let you go!"

Ranmaru: "Back off! I won't show any mercy."

Ranmaru swiftly kicked the gun-wielding man's hand and quickly brought him down.

Kanetsugu: "There's one secure door at the end of this hallway."

Kennyo: "That's where we'll find Mai."

Yukimura: "I guess we'll just have to kick them all out!"

Three enemies leaped at Yukimura together, but he jumped back.

Mitsunari: "Even if we could get through here, can we safely escape with this number of guards?"

Kicho: "That's not a problem. We've secured several escape routes."

Keiji: "Then all we have to do is break through here!"

Yoshimoto: "But still, they're pretty tough. I can't believe we're having such a hard time together."

Sasuke: "I think they have special training."

Kicho: "They must be bodyguards for important people."

Sasuke: "They're probably not ordinary individuals, especially considering they are armed."

Shingen: "Just like them, we're not ordinary either."

Shingen, with a fearless smile, knocked the man, targeting them from the shadows of the hallway.

Yoshimoto: "That's true. I feel sorry for them."

Kenshin: "There's no room for pity."

Nobunaga: "Yeah."

Kanetsugu: "I'm gonna make them regret messing with our treasure."

Mitsuhide: "Guns of this era are quite interesting."

Guard: "Guh!"

Mitsuhide knocked down the man holding the pistol and took the gun from him.

Mitsuhide: “How does it feel to be on the receiving end? You’re prepared to face retribution, right?”

Nobunaga: “You guys! If this continues, there’s no way out of this. Each of you will do your best to get Mai back.”

(The commotion is getting louder and louder.)

There had been a lot of noise behind the door since a while ago.

(Could it be?)

(Maybe everyone came to help!)

Hoping this, the culprit, frustrated, shouted.

After looking around for a while, the culprit also left the room.

(I might be able to escape now.)

Just when I was thinking that一

???: “Mai!”

(Huh?)

I heard his voice calling me.

kanetsugu's route spoilers under the cut!!

SOMETIMES I REMEMBER THAT KENSHIN WAS KANETSUGUS LOVE RIVAL AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW UNTIL THE LAST PART OF THE ROUTE???

this scene kicked my ass
