That's a good picture...you should clean it up in photoshop, though.

She looks so pretty as weird as that sounds

Kaoru dying and in pain... Inner Megumi: I've only dreamed of something like this happening! I love it!! *Laughes evily*

it's not a photoshop. it's the REAL death of kaoru. boy was everyone devastated. stupid enishi!!! because of him, kenshin became broken and chained up his sakabato and went to the "fallen villiage".

It was just a body double that was killed, not the real Kaoru. She was just abducted.

A double body?

Yeah, like a corpse that was altered to look like Kaoru. One of Kenshin's enemies did it to devastate him (it worked).

Is this only in the manga?

I think so. They didn't get this far in the anime.

I thought the anime ended?

they gave her the X scar....y?

yeah, it's only in the manga. we never see this arch animated except in samurai x: reflection, which doesn't show anything (it only shows a lame version of the kidnapping of kaoru and the final fight between enishi and kenshin). i'm telling you, THAT'S the jinchuu arch covered in that movie!!! i love that movie, but i have to say it really sucks when it comes to that scene! they probably gave it the scar as a symbol of kenshin's failure to protect her. also, in the eyes of people who have foug...

I got scared there for a minute! Doesn't Kaoru die of an illness?
