Looks?

Ok. Probably a really dumb question, but how come Kenshin looks so different when he's in a fight, and even more different when he's about to become a manslayer agian(like in the situation with Jinae(sp). Not that I dont thing it looks cool. Those are my fav images of him, but still? Is that just to make him look cooler, or does it have something to do with the changes in his moods, or what? If some body doesn't tell me I'll most likely pass out trying to think about it and trying to find the answer, even though it's probably a dumb one, and...**Passes out due to not stopping and breathing**:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:

 

well as a Hitokiri his eyes become a yellow color and his hair glows a deep red/pink O.Ox;; i doubt ill ever understand why the pink color but oh well...anyway his language becomes harsher using desu and watashi instead of sessha and De Gozaru... During his fight with Saitou after breaking his sword he says that the next hit will make Saitou's head fly. also he says that Saitou was able to escape with his life...

 

???

...Uh....I dont know what half that stuff meant, but I kinda get the idea.

 

well what didnt you understand?

 

???????

desu and watashi Hitokiri sessha and De Gozaru... what the heck does all that mean?

 

doesnt this not happen later in the series though? cause he learned to maintain control when fighting and still be good. when kenshin goes back to his old masta and he taught him the succession technique and ish and kenshin learned to value his own life. so keshin learns to be super good while in control. right?

 

well kenshin learns the Ougi's and then he no longer needs the strength of the Hitokiri buried down in himself...

 

??????

...ok, I'm lost.

 

well he only changes into Battousai early in the series...he gains the strength to keep the Hitokiri buried forever...

 

????????

But what's a...Hitokiri?

 

???????

**nodds, nodds** Yep

 

thats so great. hotness galore.

 

well Hitokiri litterally means hito=man/person kiri=cut so man cutter...actually Hitokiri were the assassins for the Ishin Shishi in real life there were 4 the greatest being Hitokiri Gensai. Kenshins patterned after him. he used a self taught style of Kenjutsu called Furanui Kenjutsu...hes famous for cutting down an important Official in broad daylight...however after the meiji revolution came about he was beheaded to keep the dark secrets tof the Ishin Shishi from ever surfacing...
the actual Ougis that are passed down are the Kuzu Ryuu Sen and the final secret the Ama Kakeru Ryuu no Hirameki. The Kuzu Ryuu Sen is a wild technique striking the nine vital points of the body all at once to prevent any sort of defense...the only way to over come this is by moving fast as in Soujirous case or by using the Ama Kakeru ryuuno Hirameki. the user leads with his left leg instead of his right and then draws into a deep battou jutsu then pivoting on the left leg the user then comes in for a second hit. the first hit is fast enough that it actually splits the air and draws things into it to fill the void.

 

Basically when Kenshin gets pissed off he starts to glow different colors, k?

 

er well technically but its a bit different...

 

lol, try to keep it simple Genasai. ^_^ Also, in the CN version, I'm surprised tehy didn't change it to "Wanderer Kenshin". -_- Ayaa, that would've been bad.

If ya wanna get technical, we could say that his harmones react to the intense emotions of refinding the Hitokiri and the adrenaline rush of a fight, which create a chemical change that produces radioactivity, causing his hair and eyes to glow in strange shades. ^_~

Yup, thats our Kenni for ya.

 

Indeed, keep it simple for once Gensai ^_^'

 

*laughs* We're still calling you Gensai, aren't we? What do you go by? ^_^
