  • how did you get this?

  • Watsuki stated this to be non-canonical, so officially it's not the real ending. Appart from the facts, I would as him indeed be dissapointed. Such disgrace for Kenshin... Only the fact he dies is plain stupid because W. stated it had to be a good ending. For me this is really not good. That what happens when you let another director work on a big title of which he knew none...

  • for me is this the real ending ^^

  • I am ssssooooooooooooooooooo whachin this movie!!!!!!!!!!

  • what series is this ?!! omfg ive only seen the 90's version. omfg can someone please msg me.

  • @Chillsta2 It's the anime Rurouni Kenshin and this clip was from one of the OVAS,the manga with the same name has adifferent ending and I recommend you to look at both of them

  • Bueno entiendo que las hayan cortado... Relleno...

    Sin embargo no me desagradan para nada estas escenas, es mas el que estén fuera de la ova y sean escenas cortadas lo hace mas interesante...

    Yo amo a Kenshin y Samurai X es una de mis series veneradas...

    Así que igual... Thanks for share it...

  • Watsuki said even said the this OVA was trash? wow i agree with Watsuki it never looked good from the start!

  • Wow Kenshin are you sure you aren't a girl 'cause you sure sound like one.(My opinion)

  • @Nyancat707 his voice actor (Japanese) was a girl, because it was to add more to the point that Kenshin didn't look like a killer and that he had feminine features. And it was for the giggles too.

  • this was not the original ending. The ending in the manga is that kenshin and kaoru got married and have a son (kenji) and live happily.

    The scenario of this OVA wasn't written by watsuki

  • was it really deleted? if so y? and which 1 to believe?

  • 4:46 Learnt?

  • @UnderJoke yes it was

  • Why this is deleted?

  • I never think of this as the end of rurouni kenshin.

    Just think of it as a nice doujinshi.

    The story of this OVA is not even written by Nobuhiro Watsuki. In fact, Nobuhiro Watsuki himself said that he hate this OVA and state this : "Kenshin has been through so much crap. He deserve a happy ending".

    But yeah, I love the wedding and their happy moments scenes

  • @Doraemonfreak91 did he really state that he didnt like this ova or he didnt like the ending?

  • @killingspeerx he doesn't like the OVA because he doesn't like the ending.

  • @Doraemonfreak91 but he didnt die n the manga right? mmm and if this was the original ending then y didnt he like it or this was not the ending?

  • @killingspeerx Guess the director wanted to add unnecessary drama. The manga is just so superior to this in many ways. The OVA would have been fantastic if it followed the manga more clearly.

    Especially with the beautiful art style. But no, they had to go this route. :/

  • I think the end of the manga was perfect..

  • I disagree with you all. Not all stories end like fairy tales where the main character lives happily ever after. The way that Kenshin died shows just how much more of a legend he really is. He did EVERYTHING in his power to his last breath to atone for the sins which he committed and to make Japan a more peaceful place. I believe that Kenshin is by far the most developed character in anime and his legend will live on.

  • @99DaNtEmAN23 Well his death is really something stupid. If you have read the manga you'd see that his resolve and strength was much greater than what was depicted in the OVA. He found his answer to atone for all he did and from then on would no longer live in misery. Remember that hiko said if kenshin's faith was to live on in misery and despair due to what he had done as a hitokiri then he would've killed him on the stop and was about to but then we all saw what happened, right?

  • @99DaNtEmAN23 Funny thing to say, since Watsuki himself officially stated the last OVA to be non-canonical/not part of the real story. As your opinion, I can understand what you mean and I respect that, but imo the director of this OVA did4t respect W. idea of a good ending, even if you state that not all fariy tales ends happily. It's true indeed, but if W. wanted a happy ending, it had to be that way, no turning around... Yah, anyway I do not consider this part of the story

  • @99DaNtEmAN23 Though, continiuing on what I just said, this ending in the deleted scenes would have probably satisfied me as it makes sense to Kenshin's fate as Hiko stated, along with Watsuki's happy ending :)

  • to make Kenshin a legend killing him was the only option.....still makes me cry but I guess that's how you make legend out of drawings......unbelievable

  • You all realize this is in the Director's Cut edition, which is on the official DVD right?

  • How could they delete this?! This is how it should end!!

  • WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS.... and even more ugh WHY DID HE DIE?!? i wish it ended this way....

  • WHAT the HELL were they thinking when they deleted this???!?!

  • The only moments of happiness of the entire OVA : ) 6:35 8:28

  • the wedding!!! wowww

  • wat the LUMP man this shoulda been the ending instead of the sad unneeded one that made me cry for days ;__;

  • i agree that this should be the ending! A HAPPY ENDING IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE! :)

  • lol @ 8:03

  • T-T so beautiful

  • KENJI IS TOO CUTEEEEE!

  • my heart was beating so fast s i watched ths

  • This OVA was truely amazing!! Although i liket he japanese version better than the english dub.. kaoru voice realy annoyed me in english as alwasy... but overall amazing it actually withdrew emotion from me ... i alsmost cried .. im just so happy that Shinta was and kaoru were able to see each other before the end! :)

  • That is so nice!

  • ahah has anyone noticed the size of the cigarrete saito is smoking

    ?

  • @Noctizss It ain't no cigarette! It's a freakin' joint - whadd'ya think he paid for in the beginning anyway - even kind enough to let him keep change, must be some good shit :D

  • @Mikkeru hahahahahahahahH!!!! thats great xD

  • @Noctizss Everything is longer with Saito. His gatotsu, his squares, his bang strands.

  • Why was this deleted? This clip is beautiful! They have their wedding here, some candid moments with Kenji - very nice! Thank you very much for the upload! :D I thought I saw the ENTIRETY of the OVAs. :D

  • @barrin666 That kid's hair is dark like Kaoru's, not red like Kenshin's or Kenji's!

  • how the heck could they delete these scenes TAT! they are like the best scenes in the OVA

  • Why do the caracters look difernt from the English dubbed

  • Kenshin and Kaoru loved each other so much... ♥♥

  • this was not deleted...... = =..i've seen this scene in the movie

  • @raitoHlolz

    It as deleted in a lot of DVDs that were released. They put it back in in the Director's Cut edition.

  • Just my own thought on the whole TomoeKenshinKaoru subject:

    Kenshin loved Tomoe, yes. She saved him in a way, yes. But she died. And Kenshin chose to live on after she passed away, looking for a way that he could atone for his sins. He found it in protecting Kaoru, Sanosuke, Yahiko, Megumi and everyone else around him. He vowed to live by the sword to protect everyone that he could. THAT was his salvation - and Kaoru helped him to recognize it. So... give Kaoru SOME credit, would ya? XD

  • @SonicxAmyfan4Life and it is because of that, my friend, that i don't accept the ending given by the OVA. Kenshin had found his answer to atoning for all the lives he'd taken. So living in misery and leaving kaoru (as in the OVA) just seemed wrong and misguided. Remember that when learning the amakakeru, hiko seijuro said if kenshin's faith was to live the rest of his days in misery for what he had done then he would've killed him then and there.

  • @SonicxAmyfan4Life I like Kaoru..

    ...anime/manga Kaoru..

    OVA Kaoru?

    ...not so much, but... xD

  • @SonicxAmyfan4Life

    Technically though, that salvation was laid out in the end of Trust and Betrayal. I think most of the Tomoe vs Kaoru sh*t comes from a personal preference for one or the other. Personally I think love is tested and proven in tragedy. (Similar to friendship) His love with Tomoe was more tragic, therefore IMO had a stronger proven love. Even 10 years after her death, he still remembers his sheath and she and her former love are always with him on his cheek.

  • I love this scene so much meaning and emotion in what they say to each other before she proposes.

  • i just found out this is not a deleted scene.. it is actually part of OVA REFLECTION.. now im confused of whaty ou mean by deleted /watch?v=PZmh8rSbegM&feature=r­elated

  • maybe they wanted a different ending so they killed the protagonist! WRONG MOVE though, i think everyone wanted a happy ever after =)

  • @otinat happy ending are for little kids who want a pony for their birthday. I actually see the edning as a good one. Kenshin was torn inside. He killed the woman he loved, with a crossed shape scar in his face as a constant reminder. Death was his only salvation, but he can not let himself die because of Tomoe wish. He found Kaoro, who accepted him, she was the only one who truly understand him. She was the only one who sow through his facade. And at the end of his final hour he found peace.

  • @BmCNinJa You make it seem like he only cared about Tomoe. He lived for everyone's sake, and not just hers. If you've read the manga, you know that even though he still felt extremely guilty for being a murderer, he did come to terms with himself in order to accept his past and focus on his friends and family. Plus, this OVA is not canon at all. Watsuki wanted a happy ending for Kenshin too and dislikes this ending very much.

  • @LiebeItai Kenshin only continue living becouse of Tomoe. He may have lived for his victimes family, but his alive because Tomoe ask him to. At that time in Trust and Betrayal when Kenshin was fighting that one guy and accidentally killed Tomoe. He closed his eyes and stroke his sword without consent. It was meant to be his final strike, but Tomoe saved him by getting in between both fighter and stop the others attack which would have killed Him.

  • but a happy ending is a happy ending^^

  • man kenshin is so darn emo in the OVAs, as long as he's got something to protect, he should have a tough fighting spirit and be as hard to kill as Goku at least ='p

  • 一番幸せな頃だよね。

  • perfect ending for rorouni kenshin

  • THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ENDING. Even at all caps, it's still an understatement.

  • @VaaalPan THIS.  SO MUCH THIS.

  • I felt really bad for Kenshin from 4:02 for 4:44.

  • @Ryushinji i agree. they should...maybe a manga version? 'cuz in my perspective, the manga version was better :)

  • one impossible scene is in this video!

    kenshin would never leave his sword lying arround, so that kid could never get a hold of it.

    the rest is very nice, but doesn't really make sense.

    the only time kenshin was happy, was when he died in kaorus arms after his return.

  • Am I the only one who thinks a remake of the series would be amazing with this style?

  • @BananaOrangeBerry this is the MOVIE style. the movies look very different from the series.

    all the funny scenes in the series would not be as funny, if they were made in this style.

    besides... this style takes much more effort ... i believe. who would pay for 95 episodes made like that?

  • awwwwwww

    thx for uploading! thumbs up'd

  • 3:48..he is crying!!!?!?!

  • My dvd actually contain all of these scenes... so, which ones are the deleted scenes?? :S :S

  • let me tell you.......because the industry of films are bullshit............they dont know nothing all about films...............making us hate about them.

  • Maldita sea...porque estoy llorando...

    

  • all of that was in the movie when I saw it, this wasn't a deleted scene

  • They are remaking this! I just read yesterday. Only I dunno if its the manga or anime

  • kenshin looks like kaorus sister

  • Kenshin are Kaoru realy bekong together and I like how the relationship slowly comes together over time and blossoms in the end. I think this is a great ending and in my mind the true future for them.

  • This is just... the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in like. Ever. ; ^ ;

  • Why couldn't this be the ending? It, more or less, is connected to the manga. Not that ending where Kenshin dies.

  • Does anyone else like the original artwork in Rurouni Kenshin better than the one in the shorter series? (I dunno how I should put it, but I think you should be able to understand)

  • So Kaoru proposed to Kenshin

  • @wanderer1125 LOL. IKR.

  • Actually the whole talk on the porch and wedding wasent cut from the movie, the talk with Saito was if I remember correctly.

  • Wow can't beleive this wasn't put in!

  • What disrespectful son of a disease ridden whore made the decision to cut these scenes?People should learn to keep their filthy hands off someone's work,especially when there is no sin in it,like in this case.Down with editing,death to all dubbing,over and out.

  • I don't like this Kenshin 'cause it seems that he didn't understand what Hiko tried to teach him. This Kenshin doesn't care about his life (like the Kenshin of the series, when he learned the Amakakeru, he learned that bieng alive was very important)-- He doesn't care about Kaoru's happiness.. mmm ... I don't like this ending at all. The animation may be good, the music may be outstanding, but I still prefer the ending of the MANGA.

  • @SailorVickymoon ENGLISH PLEASE

  • if this is exist

    where kaoru get her disease ?

    this director cut make the ova reflection non sense

  • ok... this is the most beautiful scene in the whole ova!!! A BIG MISTAKE to deleted!!!! thanks to put it in youtube!!!

  • @roma11891 actually it wasn't deleted. true that they cut a few sec in each scene, but all these was on the OVA.

  • this is the most intense anime movie i've ever seen

  • The OVA's are so much better than the anime

  • @pivetom

    The OVAs were originally supposed to be the ANIME. Immediately after Shishio arc comes the Revenge Arc, which was supposed to be at least an entire season which covers the Flashback: Trust and Betrayal and Reflection. While Trust and Betrayal did justice Reflections are a flaming piece of turd compared to the Manga.

  • Oro? (sorry, couldn't resist). Deleted? I'm glad I watched the director's cut the first time about 4 years ago, then. I remember tearing up when Kenshin started crying... I also remember being annoyed with the different animation here than the series, but now I think this fits the somber, serious mood better. I also remember gritting my teeth about the ending-- it didn't let me rest for weeks! Hm... I should watch this again.

  • where do i find this?? is this a movie?? wats it called?

  • @prettyangelme10 Samurai X

  • these weren't deleted. they were in the ova. it was awful, but i watched it all. (the ova i mean

  • Thank u!!!!!!!! I never knew this deleted scenes existed!!! woah... it's such a waste that they actually cut them out of the OVAs. Rurouni Kenshin, best series ever!

  • a dull victory. Saito is a cool cocky badass bastard!

  • THIS SHOULD BE THE ENDING!!!!!!!! ;(

  • why do they all look do different..?

  • what ova is this from?

  • the boy is really a mini-Kenshin. so cute!!

  • As the guy bellow me said they end up having the kid and Yahiko ends up being a good swordsman too !! :) and they don't die !!

  • the other ending was a very unfair thing for Kenshin and Kaoru, they deserve a hapy life like this, i dont know why they kill them in the other ovas, but this deleted scenes for me is the true ending

  • @Zektor12

    the bad ending wasnt made by the real author

    and this ending follows the manga so this is the original ending

  • OMG this would have made it even better, even though I don't like the fact they killed him and Kaoru which made me so sad

  • I can't thank you enough for translating this to english - I have watched it in Japanese and the impact is even more heart-rending when every word is clear!

  • this is sad ending...it is true a manga ending and an anime ending is different..but we have the right to choose which ending is more better for each of us.. ;~;

  • thank u for sharing this with us! (I never watched this one *hides*)

    will have to find full eps on youtube :3

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhh I HATE THIS STUPID MOVIE I know its not the original, but I still watch it. I don't know why I watch this. I get so saddddddd!!! T-T

  • I really hate it when they stick to the rule of a tragic hero that must have a tragic ending !!!!!! well..........THAT MAKES OUR OWN LIVES EVEN MORE TRAGIC LIKE THAT !!!! we r not an Elizabethan audience here !!!! we r amateurs & we r happy about it..SOOO, WE DESIRE FOR HAPPY ENDINGS HERE FELLOWS !!!

  • OMG, why did they delete this??? Their marriage and BIRTH of their only son?? That's like if they had cut out "Luke! I AM YOUR FATHER!"

  • they should have keep this in the moive as an extra or some thing, cuz it would have been nicer and or made more sense. i dont know, i hope i can find the uncut dvd(s) somewhere some time. :D

  • saito is finee :o

  • No the OVAs are not based on the manga at all. Although the first ones are not much of a stretch as to what Kenshin's history could have been like, the last series of OVAs are just garbage and, as so many fillers seem to do these days, works to destroy the source material in every way. If you loved this show but everything after Shishio dies is all filler. I think the reason Bleach is still successful is they now clearly warn you when they start fillers, but EVEN Bleach fillers aren't this bad.

  • thank u so much for the sub!!

  • i completely reject the Reflections OVA.

    Watsuki's ending at the end of his manga was perfect, and it should stay that way.

    Kenshin's story ended a happy one and thats that >.<

  • what ever happened to sanuske? i havent seen all of the OVA episodes, not the movie. only the original anime, but sanuske isnt in any of the OVAs.

  • @ihateschool778 actually he is -in reflections towards the end mostly.

  • @ihateschool778 If you read the manga, while Kenshin is depressed about Kaoru's "Death" he goes back to his hometown to see his family(not knowing who Sanosuke is). He picks a fight with ex-Inshin Shishi and now the police are after him. At the end of the series, he is seen saying good-bye to Everyone as he has decided to travel the world. One year late, they recieve a letter from him saying that he has been to America, France, Germany, ect. and he currently resides in Mongolia.

  • this made me cry.....

  • this should the real ending.. the other ending sucks, Kenshin deserve a happy ending =D

  • awww she proposed to him :P this whole scene contradicts the whole ova in a sense that he said would do anything to make her smile, yet the whole OVA was about her devastation and sadness and him being an irresponsible jerk. errr indeed.

  • This should be the true ending. If you read the manga, it's closer to this...

  • @dmarie1184 well yeah, but Watsuki sensei rejected this ending (OVAs are made like doujinshis, they're not cannonised, it's just that the 1st ova was made based on the manga....) a lot of fans sort of rejected this ova as well -____-" (actually, including me lol...) but I actually like the art and the way the story flows. The plot doesn't make any sense to me, though.

  • i think it was not a deleted part coz i have watch it ..i think it in seisouhen

  • Kenshin deserved this happiness....I actually cried when I saw this. I like the OVA's, Anime, and the Manga. My favorite series of all anime.

    Yea, they need a Remake and a Live Action Movie.

  • @Tokoza2 nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo! (remember dragonball evolution) no live action. Period.

    (though a remake would be nice, i doubt that they would go through with it. kenshin's anime run is over and only us toonami babies really even heard of this anime so it wouldn't be plausible for the developers to remake an anime a lot of kids never heard of)

  • ='] I love you Kenshin! ^_^

  • Yeah I don't like the Reflection OVA much. It's horrifically depressing. I didn't recover for like 2 days after watching it. I almost wish I hadn't seen it. The characters seem alot different to how they are in the series - specially Kenshin. They draw him so that he loses the life and laugher in his eyes.

  • @themurge Yeah, like this is how manga ends. The first time i saw this OVA I cried like a baby, why in hell Kenshin will go back to fight into another war after he was married and had a son and moreover after he can't use the hiten mitsurugui???

  • @Lluvia185 My guess is that he was doing it to try and atone for his sins. How that works I don't know. Maybe it was also to protect his family.

  • And.... the end. Ah wonderful ending.

  • There are a lot of things I dislike about this OVA, not including the downer ending that the creator of RuroKen disagreed with, but why are Kaoru's eyes BROWN? They're blue! And not to mention her character has been messed with. Why is she suddenly cooking great? Why did she loose her spine? Manga-Kaoru would've beaten Kenshin over the head if he tried to leave her and Kenji to run off to China to repent for his sins. Anyway, in the manga, he had already made peace with himself and past. Yup.

  • wait wats wrong with kenji?  Does he turn out to be bad?

  • @drawingangel2 not exactly, kenji was angry with kenshin(his father)because kaoru everytime cried because he never stay at home

  • o: was that sake she drunk? isn't she going to go crazy drunk?!

  • @Tachikawa92 It's the typical ceremonial wedding in Japan, the bride and groom have to drink sake 3 times to seal their union. So maybe at the end of the ceremony, Kaoru was completly drunk, hahaha.

  • the OVA Reflections Kenshin sounds so hopeless and gloomy, what happened to having hope and being optimistic? Whoever directed this sucked...

  • @noir21072 Its has the same theme as Trust and Betrayal.

  • Watsuki-san is correct about the OVA. It entirely changed their personalities. And it wasn't so much of a happy ending. However, I still liked it and cried.

  • @7:30

  • WE NEED A REMAKE sorry about the caps but it's true..... T_T tanks for the upload. ^_^

  • @Ryushinji they are remaking this show!!! =D

  • @Ryushinji new episodes COMING OUT SOON! :D THEY ALREADY RELEASED A GAME TO HONOR THE 15 YEARS! NOW NEW EPISODES ARE COMING ! :D

  • @gokuta333

    a live action version is in the works too! Kenshin will be played by Takeru Sato... the movie is to be released next year.

    also i've only now found out that Nobuhiro Watsuki didnt have full control over the last OVA and he said "Kenshin went through so much crap and deserved a happy ending." so we definitely need a redo!

  • @gokuta333 Sorry but no new episodes are coming out... They are just going to remaster the anime and put in HD... that is all... I love how the ova ended.. Most people want happy endings... But in reality happy endings do not often happen... Kouro dies as well.. he past the decease to koura sexually.. even though they dont show kouros death but she becomes sick with the same sickness as kenshinand like misou said their is no cure..At least Kenshin died undefeated..

  • @steven144 e_e what the hell do u mean no new episodes? where did u get that info from?

  • @steven144

    they did do the remaster for the 15th anniversary but there definitely are new episodes coming... it was announced on the June issue of Shueisha's Jump Square...

  • @steven144 Actually if you google it you would find that a New Kenshin/Samurai X is green lit. might be in time for a 2012 spring or summer anme release.

  • Why was this deleted?

    It fits in very well and how could one forget about Saito? I've heard from a friend that the manga explains that Saito doesn't want to settle the score with anyone else but the Battousai, so why delete such an important scene?

    I own all Kenshin on DVD but the last two OVA was msising something, this at least filled one gap.

    Thank you

  • :OOOO it sucks his first love died :I he killed his first loves fiance :( man i need to watch rurouni kenshins whole series they should make another series

  • @Beinggreatfull

    In the manga they acctually got married.

  • ooo :O i need to watch that :D

  • Makes me feel so sad when he visit the mother of the shogunate member he killed and she didnt acept his apologies but in a gentle way.

  • I was wondering where Saito went. I like thise scene he basically told Kaoru I don't care what you think, now stfu and act like a woman. Great :D

  • I really like to think that this vid is the true ending...

  • it is

  • @fezita

    yeah me too..it's so toooo crappy sad when i saw kenshin dead T.T

  • great vid.

  • This is a part of the OVA in wich kenshin dies, but everyone dies and i still believe it was a gr8 OVA.

  • It is better to see kenshin and his band go back to Tokyo, to know he got a son with Kaoru and imagine they lived a peaceful life...

    He doesnt even die in a fight in the OVA... Tsuioku is great, Seisou sucks. (to me)

  • Wow. I'm so glad I discovered this, since I've never seen this before.

    Wouldn't it be awesome if the OVA had ended like this instead?

  • like the author said the ova's sucked and kenshin deserved to be happy in the like the manga not in like in which he is sad. the ova's dont even follow the plot

  • Why did they delete this?? What's wrong with it?

  • usually when there are time constraints, flashbacks are typically the first to go.
