“All right. I will keep that in mind, that I will.”

I find it challenging to express why their story captivates me so profoundly. It's an unusual connection between an assassin and a spy who seems detached from life, compelling me to uncover their fate.
Picture a young woman confronting a teenager, the very one who took the life of her fiancé. Yet, when she gazes at him, she sees not a ruthless murderer but an immature boy, despite the blood on his hands and her lack of affection for him.

Consider an idealistic teenager, entrenched in a world devoid of personal sentiments, making calculated decisions for a revolution. Then, he encounters a woman, experiencing an immediate and deep attraction that evolves into profound love. Her mere presence brings him solace, even amidst the most tumultuous times.

Perhaps it resonates because these two teenagers, worlds apart, find a connection through blood, deceit, and revolution. Despite societal forces working against them, they are willing to go to great lengths to protect each other.
Maybe it's the enduring impact that, even 15 years later, with his newly reconstructed life shattered, merely conversing with her spirit brings an immediate smile to his face.
A story of a cold, calculated, and idealistic young warrior navigating through a spectrum of emotions akin to any young man deeply in love.
While many readers emphasize the tragedy, I perceive it differently. Their story is laden with tragedy because it is infused with an abundance of love.

Himura Kenshin truly is the epitome of redemption- You know, I always thought at first, wouldn't using a wooden sword be easier for him to not kill with? He's still dangerous even with a wooden blade anyway. But then I realized that using a sakabato- kenshin is still deadly, he can still kill- but he actively restrains himself. The sakabato can kill, but it can also hurt kenshin- the blade is facing backwards, after all. Killing hurts other and also himself. Kenshin chooses not to kill. he doesn't kill not because he can't but because he genuinely wants to redeem himself, and thus puts in everything into trying to teach himself to not kill, and he chooses not to kill. He's amazing.

Mysteries of Tomoe's Grave
Tumblr media
Kenshin and Tomoe's relationship is complex. The story remains a mystery and devoid of an objective narrator, only told from the perspective of Kenshin.
Readers of the manga and viewers of the anime are familiar with the grave Kenshin visits ten years after his fight with Shishio and when he finally settles at the Kamiya Dojo as his new home. However, this raises several questions.
Why Kyoto?
Some fans argue that Kenshin and Tomoe's relationship wouldn't have lasted had she lived, believing Kenshin would be overwhelmed with guilt. Yet, Tomoe's grave being in Kyoto is significant evidence to the contrary.
Tomoe didn't die in Kyoto; at the time of her death, she was in the countryside with Kenshin. Weeks after her death, Kenshin learns the truth from Tomoe's diary—that he was the killer of her fiancé. Before her death, she had already confessed to Kenshin that she was from Edo. If Kenshin felt guilty about loving her, it would seem logical to create her actual grave in Edo, not Kyoto. Moreover, if he buried her without much thought, burying her in the countryside, where she took her last breath, would make more sense.
Kyoto was significant as the place where Kenshin and Tomoe met and where Kenshin spent years after her death. Perhaps he wanted her to be close to him, thinking he might not survive the war. When he proposed to Tomoe, he expressed uncertainty about the future and a commitment "till death parts us," which surely stemmed from anticipation of his own death and not hers.
Shocked by her passing, he repeatedly questioned why it happened.
My personal theory is that the temple where Tomoe's grave is located might have been where they were married.
How did he obtain a grave, and who maintains it?
It may seem simple, but Kenshin came from a very poor family, and his involvement with the Ishin Shishi, combined with his lack of interest in wealth or glory, suggests his earnings were very limited. From the beginning of the series, we see Kenshin as poor and essentially jobless. Yet, a grave, especially one in a temple, was and still is very expensive. He must have spent everything he had to secure that grave.
Moreover, when he visits the grave 10 years later, it is still there and remarkably clean, implying he has continued, and perhaps still continues, to pay for the maintenance of the grave.
Will Kenshin eventually be laid to rest there as well?
Tumblr media
Upon examining the image, it's noticeable that Tomoe's grave differs from the others, even though it occupies a similar space. This variation stems from the Japanese tradition where a grave is not solely for an individual but shared with family and, occasionally, friends. Given that "Himura" Tomoe is interred there, it strongly suggests that Kenshin will be buried alongside her after his passing. This prospect adds a poignant sense of closure to their narrative.

A short story from るろ剣+カレシ(Rurouni Kenshin boyfriends)
Published: 2016
This portrays Kenshin as a boyfriend. Has nothing to do with the original manga.
There are a lot of stories like this in the book.
I will try to scan it.
