Morias Skult Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 This is just a hypothetical kind of could be thing that I came up with while reading the first and second Act of the Ruroni Kenshin manga and thought I'd put it up on the boards just for a little discussion. Well here is the idea....Vash the Stampeed is the reincarnation of Kenshin. Now I know they are two completely different series', but there are very distinct simularities between the two characters which I noticed that lead me to this conclussion. 1. Both when they need to be are extreme skilled fighters ---Vash can dodge bullets and move extremelly fast. And is very skilled and precise with a gun. ---Kenshin can react in a split second to an attack and moves faster than the eye can follow. And is extremely skilled and precise with a sword. 2. Both can be quite clumsy/comedic acting like they don't know what's going on or getting into situations which make them seem like a goof, etc. 3. Both Vash and Kenshin selflessly sacrefice their well being inorder to save others 4. Both Vash and Kenshin absolutely refuse to take another human's life because they know there is always another way. Ok, there are the primary reasons why I came up with this idea... This is just on a side note, I am aware that Kenshin killed a ton of people before becoming Kenshin and realising that killing is wrong. And that Vash knew killing was wrong from the get go primarily because of Ren. This in a way helps solidify my theory. If Vash is the reincarnation of Kenshin, Vash would have this inexplicable feeling/instinct that killing is wrong because Kenshin had already come to this realisation and that realisation would be passed to Vash and Ren only helped to solidify this belief. Well there you have it...what do you all think? Yes? No? Could be? Share your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Tremaine Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 [COLOR=#503F86]I appreciate the thought you've put into this Morias, but unfortunately it's not the sort of thread that can go very far here. I haven't seen any of Rouroni Kenshin, but I'll take your word for it that he and Vash are very similar characters. And it's an interesting idea that Vash might be the reincarnation of Kenshin, but looking at the technicalities of it, since they're two independently created series then it's not got a huge basis in reality with regards to the actual series schematics. And since the thread's so specific to these two characters, if this stayed open then we'd need to have one every conceiveable pair of similar anime characters about. And considering the amount of animes, it makes for a whole lot of threads about not very much. Things like this have turned up hundreds of times in the past and they tend to generate circular arguments that don't end up going anywhere, but I must admit that this is the most detailed I've ever seen one, heh.
