  • It never struck me in the past, but Kenshin was putting away at half a brain all, “Yare yare, gozaru,” trying to recover from the PTSD of killing numerous people. He is trying to live this new life, and become the new person.

    When the past is dug up, be has a deep personality change. When Saito attacks, we see the real? old?Kenshin buried under all the layers of peace. Although we have seen the cracks in the past, I think this is the first time in the series that he seriously considered killing someone and thoroughly became his old self.

    I don’t know if it is intended, but Saitou’s first name is Hajime, or beginning. The character is supposedly based on a real person with the same name who served as the captain of the third unit of the Shinsengumi and later as a police officer.




  • I used this method. My dog used to get so rough that I was concerned that he was going to hurt someone.

    Adding to it, when play stopped, I turned away and ‘sulked’ because body language means so much. Also, I added in a toy for tug of war, and whenever the play escaped the toy I said ow and play was done.

    This took a few months to really sink in for the dog, but we got to the point where he would play, we would say to get a toy, and there was no more leaping for limbs.

    Some long time later, we were to the point where I could hold his teeth for gentle tug of war, but he decided he didn’t like my skin in his mouth.
