🎬 📹 Samurai X (1996) 🎬 📹
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 clásico 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 época que describe la historia de un samurai como ninguna otra. Esta serie toca temas históricos y muestra un héroe bastante apegado a la realidad, capaz de portar una simple espada sin filo. Para mi Kenshin es un hombre común y corriente que merece admiración y respeto por todas las luchas arremetidas que lleva a cabo a lo largo de cada capítulo 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 Battōsai 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 paseándose por las calles del Japón, luego de la Restauración Meiji, decide empezar de nuevo como un desconocido, específicamente como un bagabundo. Así inicia su nueva historia, queriendo dejar el pasado a un lado y remendar las atrocidades que llevó a cabo tras apodarse como Battōsai el Destajador. Ya con esta introducción la serie se me hizo extremadamente única y extraordinaria, porque plantea la idea de un hombre que se podría describir como un villano en su pasado, donde asesinó a personas inocentes sin piedad, para luego querer un cambio drástico en su vida porque llegó a su límite y su conciencia necesita encontrar una paz que perdió por décadas 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 admiración porque muestra el lado más 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 más disfruté de toda la trama. Cada pelea era como una enseñanza 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 también sufrían 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.
Además el suspenso que se generaba con cada oponente, donde el autor de la historia hacía que el espectador dudara si era posible una victoria de parte de Kenshin al ver al oponente mucho más fuerte que él no sólo por sus músculos, sino por su gran tamaño y agilidades. Para mí hubieron muchas peleas épicas 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 corazón. Y sé que ha salido una nueva versión de esta serie, pero no me he atrevido a verla porque pienso que podría quitarle la magia de lo que viví con su primera versión, por lo que por el momento me conformo y elijo la versión 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 Oniwabanshū 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.
Cómo olvidar a Shishio, Soujiru, Aoshi y muchos más 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 más memorables que recuerdo son los de Juppongatana y los que tuvo el protagonista también con el grupo de los Oniwabanshū. Cada pelea estuvo genial, cada personaje fue único, impactante e inolvidable. Esta serie no es una historia más sobre un samurai. Es la historia de un héroe hecho humano que marcó la vida de muchos, a tal punto de crear una mejor calidad de vida en el hermoso país de Japón.

one of my real favorites, excellent post
Para mi es todo un clásico. Gracias por pasarte a mi blog!
The way you showed love for each character, even the villains, is truly admirable. I love your respect for Shishio, Aoshi, Soujirou.
For me, they're quite special because they underwent radical personality changes that were forced upon them after fighting Kenshin. I appreciate that you like those characters too. Cheers!
