Kenshin One Shot (WSJ 38/2012) RAW

Some action scenes (Aoshi vs. Okina) from the upcoming live-adaptation movie for Rurouni Kenshin:

I hate to bump an old thread like the guy above me but…apparently there is going to be a spin-off featuring Shishio.
Poor Watsuki...the guy can't do anything original so he's stuck with "one-trick-pony" Rurouni Kenshin stuff (probably for the rest of his career). Though, this might prove to be interesting regardless.
-
Hi guys, I was not sure where else I could say this so i'mma saying it here: Please do watch Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno. There are some noticeable differences with the anime/manga, but if you ask me the movie already gave me more than i could ask for.
-
Check it out! Watsuki made a short special featuring Shishio! Or rather, Shishio and Yumi, their first meeting before the events of the Kyoto Arc.
http://readms.com/r/rurouni_kenshin/001/2742/1I love when villains get more fleshed out, and this in particular gives more meaning to the events of the final battle between Kenshin and Shishio (I won't say which one, in case some people haven't read it). Also makes Shishio seem a little more human than just the "psycho mummy-guy," and Yumi more interesting than just the "Shishio-obsessed geisha."

When you know that the Iwanbo is actually a puppet with a puppeter inside is awkward.
Was Hoji that skilled as a marksman? I think I missed that in the main story.

Are you talking for the readers or for the characters?

@Kaizou:

The readers.
When you know there is a grim reaper like old man in there, not feels the same as it was in Shisio's arc.
Its crazy, in a good sense of course. -

Its crazy, in a good sense of course.It is in chapter 152 (volume 18) when Enishi appeared in front of his sister's (Tomoe's) grave.

And that was after Shishio's arc.
And seeing Iwanbo again after all this time and knows its actually the puppeter its where the crazy stuff is in. -

I don't think it ever really came up in the main story. I don't think Hoji was ever put in a place where he had to protect himself, although I do think he was shown with a rifle at one point. So Watsuki was able to have freedom to write.
-
Just read it, because it was on mangastream.
-Bad Stuff
Art is still crappy, especially the fight scenes. Sojiro cutting off that guys head looks pretty awkward.
I was expected a grey morality thing going, since but when the not-villains had to fight the child-kidnapping villain, that was pretty much never gonna happen.
Now I'm just nitpicking at this point, but-Good Stuff
Yumi offering her life is pretty chilling, the hell scenes were practically the coolest part of the series anyway. "Brilliantly, vividly, devour me"! (gets stabbed)
Shishio and Yumi are an… interesting couple. I do wonder how Yumi became a super Shishio fanatic, though, she still seemed somewhat irritated when she found out Shishio caused her life to be so terrible, unless I read that wrongly.-Other stuff
I should have known that girl was gonna die. too busy reading to predict stuff. -
Kaguzushi sure was a beast technique, Shishio went to finish him off right from the start, that guy TBH can curbstomp Aoishi and Sanosuke imo..

First they make a live-action Kenshin movie, now they're making a fucking TAKARAZUKA MUSICAL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takarazuka_RevueI'm really sad I don't live in Japan right now, I'd love to see this. I will say that the actress playing Saitou looks fucking badass.

It is announced that Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido Arc (the new arc for Rurouni Kenshin) going to serialize in Jump SQ. on upcoming spring.
-
Yeah, keep drawing Rurounin Kenshi, Watsuki. It is the curse of your life…that maybe you passed on Oda.
-
So, are we going to change this thread's name into "Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) incomplete"?
-
Wait, their making another arc? Like after it all ended?
-
Why cant they just work on animating the Enishi Arc already? Sell the right to Bones,David Productions or Madhouse and u will get a masterpiece.
-
Mind my french, but Enishi arc was shitty in general.

It's not that bad but it's really not that good either.

It is announced that Viz going to release two parts one shot of Ashitarou Zenka Ari (prologue for Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido Arc).
-

I liked his Frankenstein series. Sadly that apparently wasn't popular enough to keep going.
Oda has devoted his career to OP. He said that after it eventually finishes he won't do any more series, just one-shots or specials.
Mind my french, but Enishi arc was shitty in general.
It was okay. Just okay.
-
It is announced that Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido-arc going to start on May Issue of Jump SQ.
-
so any updates on this and the new chapter that was released in this weeks jump?

Didn't you meant Jump SQ?

I guess. I'm not really sure. I just remember it being mentioned in a few articles last week.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-08-28/viz-shonen-jump-to-serialize-rurouni-kenshin-hokkaido-arc-manga/.120646 Just re-read the article. Ok, so when is Jump SQ usually leaked or released?
-

In the West, it releases in Viz's Shonen Jump. In Japan, it releases in Jump SQ.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---

It already released.
-
Really liking where the new manga is headed. Hokkaido arc looks to be really promising.
-
Well I imagine this is over.
-
Dang… I'm just really shocked about this entire situation.
-
Um…
It's always terrible to learn when a creator you like for his work does something terrible.
-
Well damn. What a goddamned shitshow.
-
That's why you have tons of hentai manga for such fetishes in japan Watsuki, so you don't actually pursue this stuff in real life.
Probably will come back with new manga stuff in a couple years like Shimabukuro? -

Shimabu took 6 years to do new serialization.
-
Dang, this is crazy news to wake up to. I had hoped that Rurouni Kenshin would be able to continue this new story arc for a while longer, but now if he goes to jail he could very well never finish the project. I have to wonder what his writing partner and wife Kurosaki Kaoru is going through right now?

Crazy though, I just binged RK on Netflix, but will no longer consider myself a fan. Separating the artist from the work is a bullshit way of thinking, especially if by doing so, you are still financially supporting them and their lifestyle
-
Damn. Even Japan isn't immune from the recent wave of sex-fiend-outing.
-
Well that's unexpected, spanish inquisition unexpected.

It looks like 4th live-adaptation movie for Rurouni Kenshin possibly going to get cancelled as well.
-
…And to think I just donated my entire 28-volume English set of RK to the library last week.
I wonder if Oda will comment.
-

I was just thinking that. It feels like almost every day some famous guy turns out to be a sex offender.
I happen to like Kenshin, too. The anime specifically, as well, which has excellent direction and atmosphere. So what do you do here?
The story itself doesn't promote anything Watsuki has done. There are a couple of authors of stuff I like that have said horrible things, but not really associated with the story itself and not many that have done something actively. So to me it's the severity and association with the story that determines my support. It's kind of a tough thing to consider.

I don't think there are much Hentai out there that corresponds to his standards.

He has a beautiful and elegant wife and he is going after these perverted materials smh.

That was certainly not a headline I expected to see when I woke up this morning, but yikes especially at that deposition statement. That seals the deal doesn't it?
I was never a huge fan of Kenshin - it was one of the first non-Dragon Ball manga I read but it was never an all-time favorite or anything, but I can certainly imagine the betrayal the fanbase must be feeling right now. I feel bad for them, and especially the victims. If this was part of a larger investigation I hope for everyone's sakes it doesn't get any more sordid.
-
Were Oda and Watsuki close?
