Kenshins death

[The Atheistic Messiah]

I think it was lepersy. AIDs wasnt around in the Meiji. mrgreen  

[Selene2]

scream It was lepersy people get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! di you not see kenshin's skin being EATEN AWAY????!?!!!!!!!!ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! scream  

[Ame Yuki Kaze]

The flesh being eaten away does lend credence to the leprosy theory. However, how does one explain the loss of his memory? Leprosy doesn't affect the mind, but syphilis especially when it's about run its course, does.  

[The Atheistic Messiah]

maybe the greif of his and his wife's impending deathes caused him to go INSANE! MWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! twisted

Leprosy and Alzheimer's at the same time? neutral  

[The Atheistic Messiah]

he's not old enough to get altimers  

[BunnyCupCakes]

Darn.
I knew the disease,but I forgot what it was.
I think it started with a "T" ???  

[cavad]

actually the real ending is when they come back (everyone in rk) for a pinic. it was in manga. plus also there another manga about yahiko about him.
"Kenshin eventually becomes ravaged by an unknown disease that is much like leprosy"(wikepedia") exclaim

kauro was kind of stupi to want to be infected..

'Kaoru convinces Kenshin to infect her with the disease through sexual intercourse(wikipedia)'

if they going to make a second rk, yahiko goign to be the main character.

but i hate the ending no matter what....damn them twisted scream

geez, calm down... eek

ok, it was leprecy!

i dunno. as i said, i only 'thought' it was AIDS,

but leprecy sounds more likely when all you guys talk about it. 3nodding  

[The Atheistic Messiah]

bump number 70  

[Selene2]

That's true that's why I didn't like the ending because all main characters in any movie should live happily ever after. I know, I just LOVE fairy tale endings.

me too

I know thats not the real ending. im just asking why did the stupid producers killed them both off.

Honestly, I'm thinking it's because the producers of the OAVs and Movies were pretty much convinced of the 'what goes around, comes around' idea - Kenshin was a murderer in his past, so he doesn't deserve to be happy, no matter what.

Of course, I think it's a load of BS, but that's why we've got the actual ending.

ya i agree
i mean the producers have there own minds
but they should make it along the storylines of wut watsuki makes it
they should show that kaoru and kenshin have kenji
and then they all live happily

In the final ruroken movie, they kill off kenshin and kauru. What is up with that?
