Of course there wasn't such a thing as photography back then, so they used charcoal sketches I suppose.

Well but the truth is that ugly or not he was one of the top members of the Shinsengumi... they were really bad guys, he ended up with a cheap job after the war though (working as a security guard or something like that, correct me if I'm wrong)... a sad ending for such a man...

Hanamichi · June 3rd, 2003, 17:33

Whats wrong with his eyes?

Galway no Sora · June 3rd, 2003, 18:47

Uh, not look as I imagent before.

Looks scary enough

zerocopy · June 4th, 2003, 00:59

no wonder the shinshengumi were scary w/ freaks like that on their side how could they lose.

Kaiser Sigma · June 4th, 2003, 04:38

Freaks ? What did you expect ? Watsuki's Saitou ?

The Shisengumi were lots of things except freaks, read a bit about them and you will find what a great group it was...

Quatro · June 5th, 2003, 06:07

hmmm... and is he also a legendary swordsman in real life?

Yeah, he even had a special technique that consisted of a forward lunge with the sword (or something similar... it's been a while since I read this) which Nobuhiro Watsuki later used to create the famous "Gatotsu" seen on the manga/anime...

Eface · June 5th, 2003, 15:12

it's the same/similar move as in Kenshin?
It's indeed powerfull, but leaves a big gap in defence... but the range and speed would take care of that problem, as i see it

Kaiser Sigma · June 5th, 2003, 15:22

Nah, it was just a lunge with the left hand, but not so powerful as the one on the anime... though supposedly it was stronger than Okita's triple stabbing.
For what I gather about this move it must have suffered from a similar problem as the one of the Gatotsu, since it's the same problem that all lunge attacks have... a blind spot.

REi_FoX · June 6th, 2003, 01:05

wow you people knows alot... any news about kenshin?

Hey kaiser, it seems you are very interested in styles of swordfighting, just as me

Kenshin's style is intersting, but has got some serious flaws too...
(no, there is no style which has no flaws)
