I honestly feel like Kazama is soooo underappreciated. He truly is very sincere and caring in his own way. You can see he really does treasure Chizuru, and don't people say that it takes more love to let someone go than to try and convince them to stay? I mean, look at how he reacts when Chizuru refuses to go with him. Kazama could easily force her to follow him but no, not only does he accept her decision, _he lets go of her first._ When she tells him she's going to leave, he actually _opens his arms_ so she can step away from him! C'mon, guys, a round of applause for this man. He really is something.
If I remember correctly, he was much more of an asshole in the original anime though. But I suppose that's because his role changes a lot depending on which route you play in the game. It's really good that they decided to make him a more likeable character in the movie.
vietblueart ikr! He's so under appreciated and everyone's like ug he's the enemy so we don't like him. I'm just like can't you see past his prideful exterior and see how he really acts! I mean come on he's not really the bad guy at all! He values his clan above all else and is willing to put his pride down for it. He's my favorite character and I hate when people say he's such a bad guy
when she says thank you and puts her hand on him they show his eyes and they're full of hope but then she crushes it denies him and he then closes his eyes and lets go. man that was painful talk about heart crushing.
I can't help but feel a little dissapointed that she didn't end up with Kazama instead of Hijikata, but I like to take comfort in the fact that Kazama still lived in this movie.
Kwikthinka OST ikr. I think chizuru would've been better with him and also I cried in the anime when they killed kazama :(. So happy they didn't kill him in the movie :)
I feel that THIS Chizuru doesnt deserve any of the guys, her personality is like all over the place and she is way to submissive, they wanted to mix all the routes and feeling for all the guys and that helped the story but damaged her character Kazama and Harada (for me) were the only ones that kind of got more reactions from her and I liked Kazamas development in the anime and here. Anyway Game!Chizuru is way better.
@@fedechan6325 This is based on the games. It has multiples versions for different devices like nintendo 3ds, steam, psvita, nintendo switch, ps3. I think that the switch one is the more complete version but it's only in japanese
Man....Kenjirou Tsuda is my FAVORITE voice actor.... I could listen to him all day. I have watched several other anime, just because he did the voice. I have no doubt he is a leading factor in why Kazama is my favorite char from this show.
This scene always bring tears to my eyes. In the game, Sanosuke's route is possibly one of the sweetest but there isn't much closure as compared to Kazama's. His route is fraught with death but he stays by Chizuru side to protect her and support her through her grief and sadness. In the game I can't seem to choose the rest of them after experiencing his route 😭 #teamkazama
Man, Kazama is cool. He let Chizuru go, even though he didnt want to. But he respected her, and cared about her. He lets her be happy, even though she might be with Hijikata, instead of him. Applause to this dude, for he is a true man 👏👏👏
I agree, though tbh I always felt Chizuru, in both the game and anime, really had the most... for lack of a better word, chemistry, with Souji. (Hell, Souji's game route is the only route where she actually helps with fighting.) But Kazama is also pretty under appreciated T_T he really does care about Chizuru even though he unintentionally comes off as a creep in the process. tbh Chizuru and Hijikata didn't really have much development together unlike with Kazama and Souji. It was largely just Hijikata getting mad at Chizuru, and Chizuru thinking he looked hot, and then they kiss. Which sucks, because while I still love the series, the lack of development for the main guy really killed the romance aspect between them.
I agree with you! I feel like in the anime, they *forced* Chizuru to be with Hijikata because he was the main guy, which is stupid. There was no romance build up or anything. She was just suddenly paired with him, when there were other's in the Shinsengumi who actually spent time with her more than Hijikata ever did. Hell, even Heisuke was a better match for Chizuru than Hijikata. At least he spent time with her and showed that he cared for her immediately, unlike Hijikata, who ignored her and treated her like a slave like she was just a nuisance to him and the other members of the Shinsengumi. Not only that, but Chikage is also a demon like Chizuru and cared deeply for her and wanted to *save* her from humans. I personally feel like Chizuru should've chosen Chikage to be with or at least Heisuke, not Hijikata. Chizuru choosing and being paired with Hijikata kïlled the anime for me and it just sucked after that. I still like the series, but it flopped so hard with the whole Chizuru X Hijikata pairing...Like c'mon... 😑
Kazama Chikage will always be my favourite character in Hakuouki... ❤ I shipped him and Chizuru so bad in both the anime and movies... 😃😍👏 Too bad they never ended up together in either...
I used to ship Chizuru with Hijikata but seeing this, again, aarghh I just realized that actually I think at some point he is more sincere with his feeling toward her than Hijikata. Even though the lack of intimacy between them. Aaarghh Kazama darling I wish you were real and we can be together! And you can forget Chizuru forever
Am I the only one who don't like Chizuru? She always said that she wanted to help, but in the end, she can't do anything and the shinsengumi members have to save her... -_-"
She did actually fight in the game... but only in Souji's route. They were surrounded by soldiers with guns, and she stayed by Souji's side, fought them head on with him, got shot in the leg while doing so, and continued to fight until they both needed to run. It was the single best Chizuru moment in the franchise for me. (I seriously wish they could animate Souji's route, it was by far the best.)
Commenter839 I never got to play the game but I agree I would def like to see souji's route. honestly I don't like hijikata all that much he's boring. I really wanted to see Kazama's route the most but souji was my second fav. they should make a new series of everyone's route going one after another. I and I think everyone would like to see that.
+maddielovelee Kazama's game route even felt too short :| I won't spoil it in case you decide to get the game later, but his route is a lot less developed than the others. And I kinda agree with you on Hijikata. For someone I was meant to ship with Chizuru, the two hardly had any dynamic interactions in the anime... just Chizuru saying she wants to help, Hijikata getting annoyed, Chizuru thinks Hijikata's hot, and bam, they're in love :p
Her character in the Game is better, relatable and more compatible with the guys She is really sweet too she actually helps them sometimes in battles and also emotionally
I LOVE KAZAMA! :(((( Why can't I be Chizuru so that I can marry the heck out of him??!! Omg, Chizuru, sort out your priorities! Chikage Kazama = 110% HUSBAND MATERIAL
no it's ok you have proof! and by the way, I approve of your theory! thank you! ;) and you played the game?! I am so happy for you (and slightly jealous too!)
I wish Chizuru ended with Kazama T^T Hijikata is a rasetsu so he wont be able to last that long . . . . Maybe if Hijikata dies Kazama will take Chizuru 😆
This is both awesome and evil. I love this movie very much and can't wait to find out what happens. I love both guys and would love fr them to come out with a movie Kazama to where he ends up with her. (who knew that typing with one hand was so hard. Stupid broken wrist and hand.)
Oh! And thank you so much for subbing them. I wish I could speak Japanese and help you with translating it. But I can't. I just understand a bit like daijobu and arigatou,not much of a help... Even so. Thank you so much!
SIS. Y DID U ABANDON DA BEST BAE? I KNOW DAT U NEED 2 SAVE DA SHINSENGUMI BUT U COULD HAVE JUST RETURN TO KAZAMA AFTER U SAVE THEM. *I need an anime version of Kazama's route. He has the highest chemistry with her.*
I strongly recommend playing the game Hakuouki Kyoto Winds & Edo Blossoms or to watch the game troughts on YT - Kazama has his own route with happy ending :) I love the game so much
I literally watched the movie after ugly crying over the drama just so that I could watch Kazama and Toshi live and not die. Also, the movie did not show Kazama as a selfish bastard 😭😭😭❤❤ my fucking heart
***** Actually I started to translate it but it takes time and school keeps me busy >.< also I'm not sure if I can translate everything... my japanese is not that good XD
so glad to hear that!!!!! we all of hakuouki fans who sadly cant understand japanese were all supporting you~ *grabs pom poms and start cheering* YOU CAN DO IT!!!! GO GO GO!!!
I've seen this movie and I love it but I don't speak any japanese so I can't wait for it to be subbed ! Thanks so much for this seen though!!! Can't wait to see more . Anyone know when the whole movie will be subbed ?
+Bincy Bird I used Sony Vegas but I don't recommend it for subtitles since it would take forever to save a movie, also it's a pain to time the subs with the sound xD if you have the .str file for subtitles I think you can open them with notepad and replace the eng subs with french and then maybe convert them with the movie with some video converter program (or just leave them like that, it's up to you). Also I think there are programs that can extract the subtitles from mkv files into str which you can edit afterwards. This would probably be the easiest way since the subs are already timed with the video and you just need to replace the text. These are the only ways I know xD
+Mizuyro Thank you! I did watch a tutorial on how to input the subs like how you suggested :3 I might give that a try, thank you ! (btw thanks for the vid, I looooooove Kazama x Chizuru
Who did these subtitles? I watched the film with some truly terrible subtitles and had to rely on my worse Japanese skills to get me through it. It was a bit tortuous.
@@Mizuyro For a moment I thought you meant the terrible subtitles and I was like 'Oh no I've been a horrible person' but no these ones are excellent! Thank you
@@KaiseaWings haha yea I understood what you meant so don't worry about it ^^ When I translated this part I think it was soon after the movie came out, and at that point I couldn't find the movie translated anywhere. After I translated this part I actually wanted to translate the whole movie, but since my Japanese skills are pretty bad, nor English is my mother tongue I struggled way too much xD. I think I translated like half of it or maybe over a half
@@Mizuyro You've done really well! I can understand dialogue so long as they're not talking about specific stuff, but the different ways of speaking the characters have in this movie makes it tough.
