That Souryusen was very impressive. Kuzuryusen looks really hard if not impossible. As for the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki, maybe a bigger target is needed tp see if its really powerfull. Overall a really good and enjoyable video.
Kuzuryusen is literally impossible, because it's supposed to simultaneously strike all 9 vital spots on the foe's body from a normal kendō stance, not consecutively like the video shows here.
Nice demonstration lol. Loved the reenactment. The only (reasonable) thing shy is that the ougi is supposed to be a two staged attack such that the first swing might miss, but a full 360 rotation with the sword coming again (as opposed to the sheathe follow up in Ryu-Sou-Sen) if the first attack is blocked, parried, or misses. What would have also been a hilarious move to show was in the anime filler arc - Ryu-Mei-Sen -- the sword of light that blinded Kenshin for a while.
I heard that Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu really existed once in Japan It was derived from the Real life Kendo Shiten Ryu The person who learn it was Kawakami Gensai, unfortunately he was executed
I thought Kawakami Gensai disappeared after the war. He’s the epitome of a killer. Dude would chop off the heads of his enemy, laugh about it and showcase it to his fellow warriors. I highly suggest everyone to read the book Samurai Revolution.
Dear sir tomo arigato for this wonderful video. I know this anime made us dream about how attacks would look in real life and this was superb job and performance. I know throwing ribbons or streamers at artists is a sign of respect and appreciation from the audience so this deserves 1000 or more.
Well done good sir. I’ve watched samurai x and the rurouni kenshin anime several time since I was a child. Have even tried doing some of the techniques when I was a teenager. Glad to see what a properly trading person can do. Thank you.
👏👏👏 I've just recently posted a video about Kuzuryusen too 😝 what a coincidence!. But of course Warakiri Battosai Sensei's Video & many years of Skills is always so good to watch. Reproduce Anime techniques is great! maybe I will do more of Rurouni Kenshin Techniques. btw who is excited for the up-coming Rurouni Kenshin Anime?!
Very nice.I started watching Samurai X TV series anime at the age of 30 .I love that show even till these days.I have recorded all episodes and saved them
Who else is excited to watch the remake anime series that's started? So far, it looks like it's sticking closer to the manga. I hope we finally get the full Tenshu Arc animated this time. So far they're blending the comedic style of the original anime with the more serious tone of the OVAs. Regrettably, this seems to mean no 'calling your attack.' Otherwise it's looking good so far.
since hiko said the best hiten mitsurugi's attack is kuzu ryu sen (9 directional attack), amakakeru ryu no hirameki is defence stance that surpass every incoming slash of the enemy, no matter whoever your enemy is, if your life depends on 1 single blow, boosted adrenaline and will of living gave u strenght that every human have inside them.
that ryumeisen look simple but for me its look like the hardest move from all of it. need a super precision to sheathe katana with that speed. hats off master.
4:40 is also a good strike, if you think more in a "war-like" situation. You have motion to kill one and clean your field of vision by putting that one on the ground faster , knock out other comming to you with the tip of your saya and still have body motion to deliver a strike on that same second or on a third person.
The Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki looked really Good even at normal speed! Only thing I would have wanted to see the Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki with the double strike variation. (Flying dragon’s fangs and claws). Very impressed, that I am.
Kograshi and Arashi are aerial spinning attacks with the sword Ryu Son San (the Raid attack) 9 vital areas targets 9 areas at a high-speed almost simultaneously. Kuzu Ryu Sen targets all 9 vital areas so fast it is simultaneous
according to the manga, ryumeisen was the technique that defeated enishi..it caused him to puke and he breaks his own ear to try to overcome the effects but it was too late..
It is interesting to see the final technique to be a dashing slash from battou stance, unlike in the anime where he does it standing (zero?) stance, into a batto jutsu with an extra step. Also, a good additional bonus would be the Souryusen-Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki combo, or the double Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki, performed in the anime during the final battle with Shishio
Rurouni Kensington is the anime that got me into anime. It is my all time favorite. I loved the live action movies. I’m also enjoying the new anime. This was a great video. Makes me want to learn!! Thank you!
So ryu Sen is a battojutsu technique that leads with the saya So ryu Sen Ikugsuchi is a variation of that battojutsu that is a double-draw leading with the sword rather than the saya.
looks different in real life… but great job, btw!!! you don’t get close to me with a kitchen knive… or long nails. is like every thing got cut. my enormous respect!!
I've always been a huge fan of the series and always understood that all of those attacks are fantasy. However, I gotta say, even recreating them IRL they look deadly!
Naturally we would never get to see Amakakeru ryu no hirameki since its fantasy attack so blindingly fast it took shishio a master swordsman to learn the hint of Kenshin´s footing to even be able to counter it. Everything else was amazing an on point, could see them easily being used
Of all these techniques, Ryukansen and Souryusen actually make sense even at normal speed. Amakakeru ryu no hirameki could even work provided that you could fool your opponent into thinking you're ending the attack on your right foot instead of the left.
It'd get really awkward to try and adjust the timing of the sword draw, though. Draw at normal Iaijutsu speeds, and you may be too slow, draw too quickly, and, unless you have a Sakabato, say goodbye to your left femoral artery.
Great job! If I had to nitpick something, I'd say Arashi and Kogarashi Ryuu Kan Zen are aerial attacks and that you missed the second part of the Ougi.
Also, you forgot Souryusen Ikazuchi, and in case lf Ryukansen, keep the sword sheathed until it really is the time to slash, making it fully a Battoujutsu. In fact for almost all attacks, keep the sword sheathed until it's time to slash, so that the slash speed would increase. That's the essence.
I like how he used the earth's gravitational pull increase the speed in which he unsheathed his sword as in doing so it increases the swords power 😐...
Its sad to know that the expansion of the techniques depends on various factors such as body size, weight, strength, speed and dexterity among other things as to one of the many few reason why some of these techniques became extinct....
I mean you have to be particularly thick boned and well muscled to perform a lot of the techniques to be ridiculously effective, otherwise constant usage will apparently kill you. Or so the manga says
Thank you for sharing with us your skills. Its very intetesting to watch.Its great that some of Japanese people like you are opened to the Western World. 本当にありがとう。
This was so unrealistic! You didn't yell out the move names before doing them!!!! And where was the dragon wind on the amakakeru ryu no hirameki??? That being said, awesome video! Kenshin holds a special place in my heart as well! And from what I just saw from Episode 1 of the reboot, it's going to be even more amazing!
