  • Thank god this wasn't made canon. For my favorite anime/manga, this would be a huge disappointment to me. :\

  • i think he should've been killed by saito hajime

  • T_T

  • @chibit00n I never said yahiko was his student. And I know he insisted on not teaching mitsurugi to anyone I just can't think of a better way for him to go out other than some type of fight. Disease is a horrible way for him to die. What if Goku died from that heart disease?

  • I wouldn't want Kenshin to be killed by some person. It makes sense that he never really wanted to kill anybody. He wanted to at least see his wife before he died, and he died smiling in his wife's arm. That is just my opinion however.

  • This ending sucks. Manga ending is a lot better, if anybody deserves a happy ending it's Kenshin.

  • ...T-T  He deserved a warriors death, not some bullshit disease! Or at least the final f***** episode should be a cut off, with Kenshin a Kaoru holding a baby...

  • Comment removed

  • Behold, the reason I didn't like this movie.

  • ....Is this an OVA or the anime? If it is the anime, then man, I'm sure glad I read the manga. Why'd they make Kenshin die? In the manga, he married Kaoru, they had a kid, Sanosuke went off to travel the world, and Yahiko became the acting instructor at the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū dojo! Happy ending! X3

  • @AmericanBassoon that happened in this Ova aswell, the difference is he dies lol, like everyone has to die... I loved this, its dramatic and tough as shit

  • As sad as this is...I still want to see this...

  • god i hate this ending, it's one of the worst endings I've seen in a anime

  • @x225w why o_o would you rather he die at the hands of an enemy? A good story needs closure. Rorouni kenshin delivers.

  • when i had this tape i thought this was a disapointing way to die but i respect japanese anime because they do come to a conclusion

  • Damn, glad i read the manga rather than watching this crap.

  • Where's his scar

  • @TeamRecharge The story was, the scar won't hear while you're still attached to it or something to that effect. Guess that "healed" him.

  • Just done watching the OVA. It's so sad, I hate it. I haven't finished the anime though but as I searched it said, he didn't die in the manga.

  • @Skyyykun13 Well this thing takes place a few years after the end of the manga considering Kenji is seen in one scene and he is about the same age Kenshin was at the first 2 samurai X ovas...

  • @CEBAdZ irrelevant

  • this is the fucking saddest thing ever

  • Ok, so... he died in the end?

  • I think its a great ending. Kinda shows that no man could have killed Kenshin. Sad as hell though.. This was my first anime hero.

  • @Chrisfragger1 what type of disease did he have??

  • @jmrjhulk I was thinking that it may have been Tuberculosis?

    

  • @Chrisfragger1 Agree with you, it is so sad but at the same time it feels real and the fact that the scar dissapeared shows that he finally acquired what he wanted, redemption.

  • Died in his girl hand can't ask for an better ending :(

  • He didn't die in manga e,e

  • kenshin has blood in his neck? why?

  • is that megumi or kauro?

  • @nikoy122 Kaoru ofc

  • @Donfrak KAURO OFC?

  • @nikoy122 forget it xD, that is Kaoru :)

  • Wow...that was powerful, only death scene in anime which made my eyes open so wide... didn't think he should have died from a disease but that's how it turned out.

  • dont worry just think of it as the ending from death note

  • he cant die its bullshit (the anime was to great

  • Im glad this shit isnt canon

  • I hope they make a remake of this ova... This shit doesn't even follow the manga, this is made by only God knows who, even the original creator refused this as part of the real anime/manga. Pff, the most powerful man dying of a skin disease? The fuck? I stick to the manga... The real thing!

  • @batudancer it follows the story line perfectly actually; I've always believe that Watsuki didn't like this ending because it wasn't his idea, it is fucking genius. He doesn't die of a skin desease, his body is all fucked up due to the fatigue his fighting style has grown up on his body, which is manifested as lepera. Yes, it is a very sad ending, but it is a masterpiece.

  • DUMB ENDING.

  • wow wtf? why did you cut off the video so short? you tard.

  • megumi cannot help either if she is there...she already mention that the disease has no cure for the moment.....

  • it is also mentioned that people who use the hiten mitsurugi style need to have great physical...kenshin has a small body yet he acquired the tremendous "counter" sword technique which overwhelm his own body.....based on what i remembered,it has been told that the disease kenshin bear is the recoil of using the hiten mitsurugi style......

  • i like japanese dub better....i thought this end is the best since kenshin have suffered in his entire life(as a killer even he had saved countless lives after that) ...to always seek for forgiveness to all the people for what he did in the past...even if he staying alive, he will always bear the burden of the lives of the people those he killed making him like torturing himself to repent his sins....poor kenshin...why do u always keep forcing urself....=(

  • @KUROUNUA i see your point but i disagree. I think Kenshin suffered a bit quite more then necessary. I mean really what was making him suffer the most was his first wife death. After he got over that this ova has him leaving his family while being sick. I thought to myself that the plot was a bit overkill. It was like one big suffering party and Kenshin was the host. at least imo

  • @therealsongoku its all depends on the fans what u all want to conclude....i juz thought kenshin finally released from the burden that he hold since he become "hitokiri battousai"......he even meet kaoru in the end(the woman he hold very dearest) after all tragedies that robbed his memories...this ending is kind of realistic as he bears the dreadful disease which ultimately rip off his life imo....also maybe i've watch too much anime with happily ever after ending which quite boooring...

  • the X scar on kenshin's left cheek are the combination of an undying curse. one from tomoe and the other is from tomoe's fiancee ..then in the end He was free at last 

  • In the end, the scar dissapers ^^

  • fake..it's not dead omfg..

  • *kenshin dies...*

    Nope. Chuck Testa.

  • kENSHINS SCAR IS MISSING WHERE THE F*** IS IT!!!

  • @NarutoRamenLover100 his first wife said it will go away when his sins are forgiven. is so happens thay are forgiven at this very moment

  • @MaiTaniyama15 aw thamks

  • He looks better when he's like…

    20 or something

  • Shisio's spirit takeover the soul of the writer and made this.

  • Who was the guy who wrote this shit? Lord Byron?? This ending make me sick.

  • Him dying from a disease is some major bull. I think the best ending for kenshin would be for him to die from him teaching the final attack to a student. (Maybe yahiko?)

  • @MrChris4251 Or Kenji.

  • @MrChris4251 THAT'S even bigger BS you're saying HE never had a student ! he never taught this much deadly skill to anyone and never will its better to have a good happy ending !

  • @MrChris4251 nah he should teach it to naruto xD

  • @MrChris4251 Agreed!

  • @MrChris4251 yahiko wasnt his student and also he had been clear he wanted the style to die with him

  • I always start to tear up when I see Kaoru run towards Kenshin with her arms open. ;-;

  • i'll say something in a minute... im crying...

  • so is this the ending? =(

  • so sad, but y is the animation different from the series?

  • i am still crying from this whenever i watch a sad anime show i cry

  • There is no way, that Kenshin would die, HE IS IMMORTAL! And those guys who have greate the story of the OVA, are poor poeple, they are.

  • scar???? 

  • @92sebamoya You're right, HIS SCAR ON HIS LEFT CHEEK IS FREAKIN' GONE! D:

    What happened?!!!

  • makers!!! y u no make it a happy ending so we all enjoy it!

    wth is the disease he dies from anyway? I heard he got it from an infected blade...

  • What the hell kind of skin disease he died from anyway. >__<

  • @Gatorface100 its like leprosy, but the writers doesnt say, look it up:

    en . wikipedia . org / wiki / Samurai _ X : _ Reflection (no spaces)

  • @Nana0Mimi17 It looks like he dead from tuberculosis; Because that is high contagious.

  • I not going to lie I cried like a little bitch..noooo...kenshin...U__U.­ That sad music go to me too.

  • Life isn't a fairy tale.

  • In my mind, they had a happy ending... ok...

    nice background though... :-)

  • He looks UGLY!!!!

    he looked REALLY HOT before, but… now he just looks like a… like a… a…

    !!

  • @famvid0 seriously? he's around 40 years old and is dying because of an unknown disease -.-

  • *sobs* NOOOOOOOOOO! 

  • non cannon alert the creator of kenshin does not aporve of this ending!!

  • As this is an OVA and not part of the original series, I belligerently refuse to accept that this is Kenshin's death. As far as I care they all live happily ever after and eventually die of old age. Now excuse me while I go cry for a bit.

  • Su Cicatriz .. ya no LA TIENE =) ... la herida Que le hicieron Con odio y bronca ... ya no estan .. Él FUE perdonado =) ...

    = '(La tristeza de kaoru .... Que la lagrima rueda Por la mejilla de Kenshin ..... me hace llorar .. Que tristeza ... adiós ... y kenshin Tal Vez Mas Adelante te SIGA kaoru .. . Seguro Su Enfermedad esta avanzada ....

    el hijo de kenshin que obstinado es.....

    Adiós a la del anime Este ..... Y AHORA QUE VERE? = (

  • Comment removed

  • Shinta...

  • Actually dying from a disease is somewhat appropriate. Well it just show that no one can beat Kenshin in a battle. Unbeatable yet not invincible.

  • HE had leprosy

  • 2 Questions: When should I watch this... like after what episode or should I watch the entire anime first?

    How did he die?

  • @QueenSnookie2 don't watch it, the anime is all the story you need. this ova is not the official lore of the story. new episodes are scheduled to be made in 2011 so there is no reason to watch this

  • @MotohideTheBrave how do you know?

  • Comment removed

  • @Nikita18197 Shut the f*** up. He's the best character ever.

  • Comment removed

  • @Nikita18197 it's so funny, how people always react the same way. You are boring. And your comment is removed :)

  • I know this already for the people who don't know the guy who freezes people with his eyes said your a man slayer till u die the mark on his cheek meant he was still a man slayer the mark on his cheek disappearing means he finally free of of being a killer

  • @MegaMumbler your badass dude you must know everything about this series. :) nice and thanks

  • what is the cause of his death.. plss answer me a really dont know....

  • i always thought kenshin would have died in battle but damn when they did this it just broke my heart. Even though thats not how it should have ended bcuz of the manga but still a great movie

  • D: *makes a machine to go into animes bring medics* REVIVE THIS MAN ASAP

  • idiots he did not die... watch the OVA until the end right after the directors specials thanks and notes it was there that kaoru and kenshin had gotten over the disease and lived well

  • @889regine Where u get that??? I hope u don't mean the ending of this episode? because that was Kenji ....Kenshin and Karou son...I don't know who the gurl is tho that was with him....but in the anime unfortunately...they both died....the disease was incurable....

  • wtf is this? is this rouruni kenshin?

  • @gentlemortal Samurai X

  • ive always loved the end of this anime it kind of made it feel real because even though its such an epic story the hero is great but in the long run death always wins

  • NO GOT DANG IT KENSHIN MUST LIVE!!!!!!!!

  • :( its sweet that he came back but then it made me cry. :(

  • DAMN IT MAGUMI!

    WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU WHEN YOU'RE NEEDED?

  • but this is the ova. ovas dont count. ovas are mostly just invented stories.

  • Curse all this dub!!!! It's ruining everything!

  • @lisstina90 how can u watch rurouni kenshin in the original Japanese, kenshin sounds like a girl which is very disturbing. Any other anime yes but ruro ken or dbz just no, i prefer the main character not be transgender

  • I hate the dub. They just can't pronounce a fucking basic japanese word right. It makes me want to fucking kill everyone.

  • Aww no, so sad.

  • 心太は死んだの(T-T)??

  • ah i wont cry . i wont cry dammit,, i love this anime sooo badd .

  • gaaah this shit makes me bawl everytime I watch this scene! xDDx

  • WHY?!!!!

  • Okay I was never really a big fan of ruroni Kenshin but why did they change the animation so much? It bugs me.

  • @strawberrybubbles32

    That's why it is called OVA=Original Video Animation :)... So there's a english dub of this, didn't know that....

  • It's non canon

  • still he was and is a murder and that was his punishment for killing so many people dying by a terrible illness and we all know if heaven and hell exits that kenshin would go definitly to hell yeah XD

  • @HumanityDisease Kenshin would go to heaven, he totally redeemed himself and as such he would be worthy of forgiveness.

  • @HumanityDisease

    I wouldn't say he was a murderer. I'd say he was another soldier for the military who felt bad for taking away the lives of others. You don't go to hell for taking orders. It happens in the Bible. Unless you are one of those weird west boro baptist people.....

  • @HeartBreak2291 I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Otherwise you could say that pretty much every Nazi and Taliban that kill innocent people are blameless because they are just taking orders. The military is

    for killing people and most soldiers are in the army of their own choice which means they have to take responsibility for their actions. I would say you go to hell for taking orders. If you don't want to take them then you shouldn't even be there. I'm pretty sure self-defense is fine though.

  • @TalesOfGod

    If I'm not mistaken, a lot of Nazis were forgiven because they were taking orders from people higher up. The only Nazis that were actually punished for killing innocent people were the Higher-ups.

    Now, lets take what you said about the army in general. First off, Fuck you for putting the men who defend your right to talk shit on the same level as the Nazis. Secondly, God commands people in the bible to go to war and kill people. Is God condemning his believers to hell?

  • @HeartBreak2291

    They couldn't really condemn the Nazis because frankly, how are they going to know if that person killed many people or none. That would be way too time consuming and would be pretty much impossible so they went after the ones who were in charge to satisfy the people who wanted these people to pay.

    First off, they are the same fucking thing! They are both soldiers killing because of their orders. The stuff that was said about protecting your country was said by the Nazis too

  • @HeartBreak2291

    Frankly I'm not going to go any deeper into this topic because I don't have the time to but if you want then check about how the military makes their soldier's individuality fall away and how they are built to only obey orders and killing machines. Secondly, that was in the old testament. Did Jesus let Paul (or was it Peter) cut down the other soldiers? No and he even healed the enemy. See, Israel needed to fight for its own land because God wanted them to stand on their own.

  • @TalesOfGod

    You're a dumbass......... Whatever, go have fun being too busy to do anything because watching random anime youtube videos is so important and time consuming.

  • @HeartBreak2291 Please, by all means. Explain to me how I am a dumbass (I was sent this video by the way so I don't really care about it -_-) and you are on a random anime youtube video as well so I suggest you watch what you say.

    I answered all your questions reasonably and I was waiting for your response but the only response I get is an insult and a comment that you are trying to leave the conversation?

    I think that speaks for itself of who the real dumbass is.

  • @TalesOfGod

    I didn't bother adding to my argument, because you made it clear that you had no intention to explain yourself any further. And yes, I am a random anime watcher, but I didn't claim to not have the time to explain myself.

  • @BriqzRockz818 they changed the drawing team

  • he didn't die he was just sleeping you a.....

  • I don't see what's wrong about this ending...I think it's really beautiful and fitting. You can't just think Kenshin's going to forget all of his past just like that. It's impossible for him to be a normal person again. At least he gets his peace in the afterlife next to Kaoru and that's what counts.

  • i was unhappy with this ending until i saw a cerent scene from the kekkaishi anime type kekkaishi death of cann't rember the name but the cutscene explaine that this is actually a happy ending

  • He did not deserve that. Seriously, died with his son hating him, spending the last of his life fighting in wars and seperated from his loved ones and left his wife to die painful death. I'd have imagined fighting his demons and suffering so much to preserve the peace in Japan would have redeemed him, but he just had to suffer that much more.

  • @Saiyef95 you do know what japan had done at the time right? go read up on some history and you'll see that the turn of the century japan was not very peaceful at all... but it indeed, it was not a fitting end to the character

  • It's a beautiful ova and sad.

  • I love this ending, it's beautiful. And there's no reason to be sad! because this never happened. This was just the vision of this OVA's director. Nobuhiro Watsuki only checked on the script, and he doesn't even like it, it's not canon! Nor is the last arc of the anime.

  • @jpcampusano what ova is this?

  • @XxXDemonhunter Rurouni Kenshin: Seisōhen

  • @XxXDemonhunter is the second OVA series of the anime, called Samurai X: Reflection

  • bleh. The six-page colored epilogue is better than this whole movie. ...so is Yahiko no Sakabatou

  • Kenshin why did he have to die :( crying what happen to him

  • he..he died in her lap? THE HUMANETY!

  • mixed feelings............ still a good closer

  • Wtf is this?

  • this fina was made by the best friend of the creator...in the manga kenshin don't die like this...the original story is that kenshin die when he has 80 years or more..with kaoru..not like this..xD..fucking ending..kenshin die for the "porcin flu" (?)...jm..sucks.

  • this almost made me cry just now. wow.

  • Why I don't hate the ending: many enemies said he would die at the end of a sword, the fate of a manslayer... he avoided that and died peacefully in the arms of his love.

    He did not just get sick either, his sword techniques were harmful, near 40 the damage caught up to him and near 50 claimed him. Considering what he said in the first OVA (as a teen) that he knew he'd die young and had come to terms with that, 45-50 was a grand age for him to reach, surely older than he expected back then

  • The grudges behind the cross scar is finally lifted and healed as soon he died. (For people who don't get it.)

  • yah no scar..

  • How is this him, no scar at all...

  • kenshin here is still young..

  • @MultiSkiptomylou nah see the deep wrinkles around his mouth, he just forever looks young

  • what movie is dis??

  • No offense here... But this is the worst possible ending to such a good series... I kinda QQ'd

  • when did this happen??? :(

  • @killergirl4 Oh dont worry this is a different show it has all the same stuff just a diiferent plot the show me and u watch Kenshin dosent die can u see the difference in the art work but still.....WAAAAA what stupid show makes the main character DIE AT THE END!!?!?!

  • @thisislyss0505 Hmm, now I'm wondering what anime this is.....and if this did happen to Kenshin I'd be both happy and sad, Happy-because he'd at least be with Kaoru, Sad-cause my fav characer in the anime would be gone

  • @killergirl4 its called Samari X I dont wana see it though cause if i DID i would get pulled into it then after I watched all the episodes then saw this agin my heart would break more then it did now and I would be deppressed 4 days and have the image of him dead stuck in my head 4 a LONG time..and besides I bet he ends up with Karou at the end of ours 2 so I just dont think its all that worth it

  • @thisislyss0505 probably not-huff-I still think it's sad that they died, though at least they coul be with the one they loved.....right???

  • @killergirl4 yea I guess

  • @thisislyss0505 the way this comment sounds you sound depressed now....:((I don't want my buddy depressed)

  • @killergirl4 OH NO Im not deppressed...a little but not much I just perfer them NOT kill the guy I love next time ^-^

  • @thisislyss0505 are yooou sure......?????

  • i always cry on this movie all the time!!!

  • @VoiceActingPlace94 me too.

    The las minutes of the OVA4 made me cry even more, just at the time when kenshin is resting behind a tree and the image of Tomoe appears holding him.

  • to be perfectly honest, this is the perfect ending for me.

    see, I started watching rurouni kenshin by seeing the first ova, trust and betrayal.

    so i understand kenshin's entire life is a conundrums struggling to find his true place in life, and his scar is the true mark of pain symbolizing it.

    how he gets the scar doesn't really help either =(

    seeing his scar finally heal is kenshin finally being free from the pain he carries his entire life, and kaoru freed him of it.

    well i like it anyways

  • this not ending of samurai x
