Description

Blurb:
One hundred and forty years ago in Kyoto, with he coming of the American “Black Ships,” there arose a warrior who, felling men with his bloodstained blade, gained the name Hitokiri, manslayer! His killer blade helped close the turbulent Bakumatsu era and slashed open the progressive age known as Meiji. Then he vanished, and with the flow of years, became legend.
Klappentext:
Tokio 1879. Ein Wanderer mit Namen Kenshin Himura kommt in die Stadt. Eine X-förmige Narbe auf der Wange und ein Schwert sind alles, was er bei sich trägt.

Der einstmals berühmte Samurai Kenshin hatte geschworen, nie wieder einen Menschen zu töten. Seither trägt er ein Schwert mit geschliffener Innenseite - mit ihm kann er kämpfen, ohne jemanden zu verletzen. Und dennoch findet der einsame Wanderer keinen Frieden. Die politischen Verhältnisse im Japan der Meiji-Ära befinden sich im Umsturz.
Texto de presentación:
«Rurouni Kenshin, El Guerrero Samurái» narra la historia de un samurái vagabundo de la época Meiji que intenta dejar atrás una carrera de asesino con la que se labró una terrible reputación. Para compensar en lo posible el daño causado, Kenshin pone su espada al servicio de los más débiles, una espada de filo invertido que le permite aplicar su poderosa y devastadora técnica de esgrima sin causar nuevas víctimas. A su alrededor pululan una serie de personajes inolvidables que irán pasando a formar parte de su vida. Todos ellos tienen un denominador común: son gente sin familia ni hogar.

Testo della bandella:

La narrazione ruota attorno al protagonista Battousai Himura, spietato assassino, che a metà 1800 contribuì alla fine dello Shogunato Tokugawa, sul trono da 200 anni, e all’avvento del periodo Meiji. In seguito all’insediamento del nuovo governo, Battousai scompare per tornare sotto nuovo nome: Kenshin. Ora viaggia con una katana a lama invertita che non può tagliare nessuno, e il suo obiettivo sta nel proteggere le persone che incontra dalle ingiustizie. Nel suo viaggio, Kenshin si troverà coinvolto in combattimenti con samurai che non apprezzano il nuovo stile di vita pacifico (nella nuova era Meiji non è più permesso nemmeno a un samurai di portare la spada) e in complotti che cercano di restaurare la vecchia società feudale. La serie comincia nel 1878, quando l’ex assassino Battousai, che ora si fa chiamare Kenshin Himura, nel suo incessante vagabondare arriva a Tokyo. Qui conosce Kaoru Kamiya, con la quale diverrà subito amico e che lo convincerà ad abbandonare per un po’ il suo vagabondaggio e fermarsi alla sua palestra.

Quotes

  • Kenshin HIMURA

    Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it.

  • Kenshin HIMURA

    I will bear your pain for you now, and find a path of repentance.

  • Kenshin HIMURA

    A sword is a weapon. Whatever pretty names you give it, swordsmanship is a way to kill. She speaks as one who has never bloodied her hands. Kaoru-dono mantains a sweet, naïve lie. But in the face of such awful truth the naïve lie she tells is so much better. If this one had a wish it would only be that her lie would become the truth of this world.

  • Kenshin HIMURA

    You believe that the strong exist to cull the weak. To use them as food. But you are mistaken . . . The strong exist, not to feed off of the weak, but to protect them!

  • Kenshin HIMURA

    The scar of my past will determine my future!
