• Comments: Although i've seen a lot of samurai x - reflection vids. All of them have concentrated on Kaoru and her relationship with Kenshin. After watching the movie I thought it would be cool to make a video about Kenji (kenshin's son) showing Kenshin and Kaoru's hardships and struggles but from their son's point of view. I concentrated on showing Kenji’s hate of two things. The first is of his mother’s devotion to his father and how this devotion means they both live unstable lives. Second is how Kenji detests the state his father, the legendary swordsman, is in (he is slowly dying). He has finally put down the sword and is no longer the legendary Assassin/protector Kenji grew up being told all about.
  
  The premise of the video itself is this: Kenji has left home to train and surpass his father's legend. While their he is visited by Yahiko, kenshin’s long term friend and student?....I suppose he is. Anyway, Yahiko gives him Kenshin’s reverse blade sword so that he can understand what his father’s life was like: the fear, pain and suffering he brought to people as an assasin, his realisation of this and his later attempts to atone for his sins and the hardships Kenshin and Kaoru go through during this time.
  
  Kenji sleeps over the matter, thinking of everything he has heard about his father and everything Kenshin's sword represents. By morning he returns the sword, he is unchanged and Yahiko is forced to make him understand the only way he can, by beating him.
  
  Short version:
  
  This video is about a headstrong teenager.
