@backblade liked your post “Starter call!”
It was much too hot lately, and Souji had taken drastic measures, yukata undone to his waste, pouring water over his head, sighing in relief as the wind provided a soft, cooling sensation to the doused skin.
“Much better!!” It did send an unintentional chill laster that made him start to cough a little, but he was doing much better. “Ken??? Ken what do you say to some chilled soba??” He couldn’t possibly handle anything hot to eat.

Hear me out - but I like to imagine that Lance when younger, as in - before he even became a trainer himself. looked nothing like his present time’s looks. He definetely followed, and sticked with what would be commonly seen in most nobles around Johto.
@backblade liked for a starter from chief beifong !!!
❛ so ｡ seems you really do know how to use that sword ｡ ❜ never mind that she had been far around the corner by the time he had sheathed his blade again ｡ most people in the city recognise her within a few moments , and , with it , the realisation that she can see things most others can’t sense themselves ｡ she stands by the wall , one arm behind her back , the other leaned against the brick of the building ｡ her head tilts as she tracks the little group that are currently hightailing it out of there after the apparent masterful display of swordsmanship they’ve just encountered ｡ ❛ i haven’t known skills like that since … well , i only know one other person with skills like that , and he’s not here at the moment ｡ ❜ she laughs , lip curling in a smirk ｡ ❛ there are no swordsmasters around here , so you must not be from here ｡ ❜
Speaking of the live action movies, I there anything you are worried about in the jinchuu arc adaptation? All adaptations are adaptations and changes are abound, especially since the whole fake out kaoru death thing was lightly touched on already.
Honestly the biggest thing is that they try to utterly water down how terrifying the entire arc is. Jinchu is the most horrifying arc in Kenshin in my complete and honest opinion. I’ve elaborated on it here , but I think they will likely completely avoid having Emi Takei brutalized, which is understandable, but give a heavy implication, such as lots of blood, the scent of Tomoe and Kaoru’s hair ribbon / or clip so to speak, in the adaptations.
Once again watering down Sanosuke’s character + his reaction is the strongest to Kenshin’s complete shut-down, ‘temporary death of himself’.
Deleting the existence of Rakinmura for something like, him being heavily injured or unconscious instead, although they did that in the second arc of Inferno so Rakinmura may be possible.
Katsura being a manipulative politician.
Tsubame waking Kenshin up in Rakinmura.
Take out most of if the majority of Enishi’s henchmen.
Erase something imperative, Tomoe’s smiling flashbacks which are always a big indicator to me of Enishi’s sanity and status.
Enishi seeing Tomoe in Kaoru when he tries to choke her, likely to be taken out.
Watering down the fight scenes to one big fight instead of multiple.
I feel the first will cover Tsuiokuhen a great deal primarily, while the second may rush and cram as much of Jinchu accurately as possible.
Taking out Kaoru and Megumi’s decision of Tomoe. The contrast of one willing to die for Kenshin (Megumi) and Kaoru wanting to (live) for him really showed good kinship between the two women and contrast of ideals.
The confession scene. I think this is unavoidable honestly, and should be, but they may cram that in or rush it when it’s one of the most arguably poignant scenes in the franchise both as Kenshin / Kaoru closing the distance and Kenshin finally acknowledging he has a home, only for Jinchu Arc to rip it away from him.
The funeral, Aoshi is confirmed last I checked, but the whole finding the doll in the ‘corpse’ might also be too squicky for the audience. I think a lot of the really crucial but brutal parts are likely to be omitted, as well as the stack on fight scenes on the attack on the dojo.
Also we aren’t certain if they won’t completely omit the burning of the Akabeko.
In regards to the part of Jinchu which is ‘Reminisce’, honestly keeping Tomoe’s blunt and unafraid analysis of Kenshin’s mind-state is imperative. It builds her character and her growth with the little scenes such as their talk after the children leave and Kenshin smiling at her, or the scene with the diary, Enishi being present at her death, Tomoe dealing the fatal blow to the Yaminobu leader, and the heavy foreshadowing of someone’s death, (hers) are things I’m legitimately concerned about.
I will be really disappointed if they don’t have the scenes where Kenshin and Tomoe build up their intimacy or newer audiences might not buy if if they rush it, it’s such a beautiful and tragic relationship and as they’ve done with Kaoru and Kenshin’s romance, should be also done accordingly. Both ships could be rushed here.
KENSHIN ADMITTING HE CANNOT SAVE ALL BUT ONE BY ONE IF THEY TAKE THAT OUT OR PUT IT IN WITHOUT HIM ACKNOWLEDGING TOMOE HELPING HIM FIND HIS NEW PURPOSE TO NOT KILL AFTER THE BAKUMATSU I WILL BE FRUSTRATED.
The entirety of the cast coming to the island to rescue Kaoru. Yahiko’s fight, Misao crying at the well…all of that, all the emotional but little details the build on the greater ones? Need to be seen. Jinchu is meant to emotionally destroy us, not make us smile for two movies worth until the end .
Also I’d like Tomoe’s ghost to visit Kenshin as a symbol of him taking as he says, ‘one step forward stronger than before’. That’s key. Putting the past in his heart and taking the future into account. That’s what the story is about to me and ignoring that little visit from his wife in the dream-snow will just be..too sad.
PUT IN TOMOE’S FATHER PLEASE IN RAKINMURA.
Honestly there’s a LOT I’m worried about, and I just hope they keep the most crucial points in the present day in-tact. Really there’s a whole list in my head that’s way longer than this but at the TOP of my head this is the best I can give you, Slow! Let’s just hope they don’t mess it up since it’s the most impactful part alongside the Kyoto arc, IMO, if not the top. We’ve waited a long time, so I’d say be patient and we’ll see if they can remember what’s true to Rurouni Kenshin’s message as a whole and take hopefully intel from sources as to what defined the chapters as a whole.
So yes I’m also anxious, but I don’t feel any pessimism but trepidation because the alternative was the nonsense of Seishouhen ( dumbest thing I’ve ever watched ) and it’s far better than it not being made in some context at all, so I’m trying to keep a positive mind!

10. Are there any fandom(s) you avoid roleplaying in?
// Leag.ue of Le.gends ! Been there, done that!
That’s where I started RPing, and although I still have some heartfelt memories that I still cherish from my time there. I’m most definetely nevermore touching that franchise, both because I have completely lost my interest in it and the fact that I don’t really look all that fondly back at it (I’ve had a rocky time at the community to say the least :/).
12. Are there any characters you’re interested in wanting to roleplay as?
// NO MORE PLEASE, HAVE MERCY ASKJBDSHBS
Currently I’m RPing as 13 muses, I don’t think I need anyone else.... Right?
Yeah, I haven’t really thought about anyone else lately TBH. I really wished I could pick an Unovan muse though, I’ve been replaying gen V for the past few weeks and months. And with Sw/Sh approaching, I can’t help but feel like this was definetely the last generation of games the dev team gave a damn about.
Clay, Colress or Ingo, simply bc I really like these guys.
14. What are your thoughts on duplicates?

“Doamne--are these guards usually so hostile?”
@backblade liked for a starter
Goku had just watched the swordsman dispatch an entire crowd of thugs-- and the guy looked like he hardly broke a sweat! It was crazy to see some people be this strong-- even for earthlings.
“Woah, y’ah took all those guys out, and y’ah managed to just knock ‘em out. Y’er somethin’ else.”
Goku stepped out from where he had been watching, walking up with a wave of his hand and a smile.
“Y’er technique is really good. How long have y’ah used a sword like that?”
@backblade
“-Whoa!” Tsukasa blurted, his eyes SPARKLING at the sight of the samurai’s weapon held in its sheath. “Is that a sword? Have you STABBED people with it? Can I see it!?” the supernatural asked excitedly.
“Y’know. I had a sword once YEARS AGO . . . ” he said as he began reminiscing the past. “-But it was one of those WOODEN kinds you get at festivals”.
