TV Size Full Size Official




[TV Version]

Iki wo koroshite naname ni kamaero
Shin jidai e no maku wo kitte otose

Uzukumaru kodoku ga miwatashita keshiki wa
Zen houkou onaji yoru no umi

Rifujin na chikara ni kokoro de aragau
Onore ga tsuyokunakerya ukiyo wa kanashii

Rurou no michi wa
Migawari no katai

Mizukara wo yurusanai tsuyoi ai ga
Sakasa no yaiba wo nukaseta

Hito wo kira zu ni shura no yami wo kire
Nikushimi no kusari wo hikisaku made

Hoero

Yasashisa ga jama shite yorikakarenai
Dakara koso futari wa wakari aeteta

Kono mi sasageyou
Hanarete saku hana ni

Muda na teikou mo sezu owari tai ka?
Yabure kabure de tatakae

Kimi wo nomikonde iku kanashimi ni
Subete nagedashite tachimukau nomi

Ura to omote ni hasamareta komichi
Sore ga bokura no genjitsu

Nukedasu no ga jibun ja nai to shitemo
Kono sekai ni kazaana wo akete yaru

[TV Version]

Suppress your breath and ready your stance
Cut the curtain to the new era

The landscape witnessed by the crouching solitude
Is the same in all directions - a night sea

Against unreasonable power, resist with your heart
If you're not strong, the transient world is sad

The path of the wanderer is
A substitute for one's own life

Strong love that won't forgive itself
Drew out the inverted blade

Cut through the darkness of the carnage without killing people
Until you tear apart the chains of hatred

Roar

The path of the wanderer is
A substitute for one's own life

Strong love that won't forgive itself
Drew out the inverted blade

Cut through the darkness of the carnage without killing people
Until you tear apart the chains of hatred, be skilled

Kindness hinders, and you can't rely on it
That's why the two of us understood each other

I offer this body
To the flowers that bloom apart

Will you just give up without futile resistance?
Fight recklessly if you must

In the sadness that engulfs you
Throw everything away and only stand up

The narrow path caught between the front and the back,
That's our reality

Even if it's not you who breaks free
I'll open a hole in this world

Roar
Live with hope

Be skilled

The night sea gives birth to life

[TVバージョン]

息を殺して斜めに構えろ
新時代への幕を切って落とせ

うずくまる孤独が見渡した景色は
全方向同じ 夜の海

理不尽な力に 心で抗う
己が強くなけりゃ 浮き世は悲しい

るろうの道は
身代りの形代

自らを許さない強い愛が
逆さの刃を抜かせた

人を斬らずに修羅の闇を斬れ
憎しみの鎖を引き裂くまで

脱け出すのが自分じゃないとしても
この世界に風穴を開けてやる

吠えろ

だからこそ二人は分かりあえてた

この身捧げよう
離れて咲く花に

無駄な抵抗もせず 終わりたいか?
破れかぶれで戦え

君を飲み込んでいく哀しみに
すべて投げ出して 立ち向かうのみ

裏と表に挟まれた小径
それが僕らの現実

脱け出すのが自分じゃないとしても
この世界に風穴を開けてやる

[Correct Info]

It has been a decade since the Bakumatsu era, a time of conflict that witnessed the uprising of citizens against the oppressive Tokugawa shogunate. The revolutionaries aimed to establish a peaceful and prosperous country. While the new Meiji era has dawned, true peace remains elusive. Despite the ban on swords, senseless killings still plague the streets. War veterans' orphans find themselves abandoned, while the government appears focused on self-enrichment.

Amidst this backdrop, a wandering samurai named Kenshin Himura continues his quest to ensure that the ideals he fought for are worth the sacrifices made to usher in the new era. Once feared as the ruthless assassin Hitokiri Battousai, Kenshin is haunted by guilt and has vowed never to kill again, seeking redemption for the lives he took. However, true peace eludes him as long as violence persists.

In the 11th year of Meiji, Kenshin crosses paths with Kaoru Kamiya, the owner and chief instructor of a modest dojo on the brink of closure. The police are powerless against the series of murders committed in the name of her dojo, perpetrated by an individual claiming to be the infamous Battousai. Kenshin's wandering journey temporarily halts as he joins forces with Kaoru to clear their names. But the question remains: How long can he stay before his shadowed past catches up to him?
