Rurouni Kenshin, Vol. 27 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (238–247) of the on-going manga series.
Saitō Hajime, Shinomori Aoshi, Sagara Sanosuke, and Myōjin Yahiko fight and defeat Woo Heishin's four bodyguards, the Sū-shin, so that Himura Kenshin can rest before fighting Yukishiro Enishi. Heishin tries to escape, but he is suddenly knocked out by Enishi. Having already brought Kamiya Kaoru with him, Enishi starts fighting Kenshin and manages to block all his techniques.
Enishi tells Kenshin to commit suicide, but Kenshin negates, saying that the answer he found to pay for his murderers is by continuing protecting the weak. Enraged, Enishi suddenly awakens a mysterious ability named Kyōkeimyaku, a product of his trauma of witnessing Yukishiro Tomoe's death. In this state, Enishi's senses are intensified, allowing him to severely injure Kenshin.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Nobuhiro Watsuki. The tankōbon mainly focuses on two battles with the contemporaries of Himura Kenshin and the bodyguards of Yukishiro Enishi and the ultimate battle itself between the two masters. Predictably, the tankōbon closes with a power-up for Enishi as he severely injures Kenshin.
All in all, Rurouni Kenshin, Vol. 27 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

How will it end? 😬

Ένα καλό -ο Κένσιν που κάθεται σε μια γωνίτσα και κρατάει δυνάμεις- δεν μπορεί να ισοφαρίσει τα τέσσερα κακά - τους "αντάξιους" των τεσσάρων δευτεραγωνιστών. Είναι μια λογική που δεν την είδα στους προηγούμενους εικοσιέξι τόμους (αλλά την έχω χρησιμοποιήσει κι η ίδια σε ιστορίες που της έγραφα όταν ήμουν 15 ετών) και εδώ με ξαφνιάζει δυσάρεστα.

Este tomo es pelea tras pelea tras pelea... Prácticamente, sólo peleas. ¡Pero qué peleas! Al factor ingenio hay que sumarle un dibujo superdinámico que no hizo más que mejorar durante la serie y así llegamos al principio del fin, tomo cargadito cargadito.

Almost finished with the series.
Here we have the battle between Kenshin and Enishi. It will be completed in the final volume.

Today's post is on Rurouni Kenshin volume 27 by Nobuhiro Watsuki. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump. The cover has Kenshin in the foreground and Enishi behind him. It is the twenty-seventh volume in the long running series. You have to have read the first twenty-six in the series to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes historical stories, manga, and interesting characters. There is no foul language, no sex, but some violence in this series. The story is told from third person close following different characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Kenshin and his comrades have finally discovered the location of Enishi's island compound, but to free Kaoru from captivity, a good deal of fighting will be necessary. Woo Heishin, Enishi's mysterious second-in-command, meets them on the beach and brings his deadly bodyguards, the Sû-shin or the "Four Stars," to serve as a welcoming committee. Yahiko, Sanosuke, Saitô and Aoshi dive into combat with Woo Heishin's warriors as Kenshin prepares himself for his fateful, climactic duel with Enishi. Each of them a ferocious fighter, the Sû-shin are set on stopping Kenshin's friends dead in their tracks.
Review- At last we get the meat of this arc. This volume starts with Kenshin and company waiting for Enishi to come and face him. But Enishi's former second in command decides that he wants to stop Enishi from getting his revenge on Kenshin by having his bodyguards kill him instead. Of course Kenshin's friends are not going to let that happen. We get four quick fights and like all the other Saito's is the best. But they are all good fights with Yahiko having a a good moment. The best interaction in my mind is between Maiso and Aoshi. She just asks him to help Kenshin and he says right. Aoshi was not going to step into the fight before but Maiso asked him and was willing to go. I cannot wait to see how everything ends. Only more volume of drama, fights, and I hope a little happy ending for everyone.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Seeing Kenshin put his trust in all his homies (even Saitou) is a pretty nice arc, both for him and them. They've proven their growth over the course of the series that they can rise to any occasion for the sake of protecting others, and Kenshin can rest knowing he can't go through life alone and has to learn to put faith in others.
But man, the ass-pull on Enishi is a little ridiculous. What, he just has superpowers now because he's crazy? I don't think a flashy physical struggle was really necessary here. That's part of the reason why I liked their first fight so much. Of course Kenshin won't lose, and that should never be the focal point of a fight (Shishio being the exception). Their first confrontation was a ruse on Enishi's part, while this fight is one of two people moving past a shared trauma but in conflicting ways. I really don't think a drawn out superpowered sword fight was necessary here, but I guess it's a shonen manga so we gotta end it with a bang.

Team Kenshin gets its battle on in this volume. But unlike previous one’s they are doing so…together. There is something satisfying about seeing that take place. There is only one volume remaining in this series and I must admit, I am a little sad. I have enjoyed both the art and the story. I feel it is a smoother and quicker read then other series such as (InuYasha or Bleach) but it effectively gets all the points across and progresses the story with a deep enough understanding of each and every character. Aoshi versus Suzaku, Saito versus Seiryu, Sanosuke versus Byakko and Yahiko versus Genbu go down within this volume. But of course, the battle which will be the talk of this volume will be Kenshin versus Enishi. “Death does not frighten this one…but this is not the answer to atoning for past crimes.” Solid volume by Nobuhiro Watsuki and very rewarding on so many fronts.

Alright, so given that Manga is more of an ongoing story split into arcs that are in no way split up between volumes. I'm going to be reviewing story arc by story arc. This will then be copy and pasted throughout all of the 28 Volumes of the Manga. Also, let's get this out of the way. This is 1. A Reread and 2. Spoiler Warning I won't be directly recapping, but I will use points to describe my thoughts and feelings.
Tokyo Arc - Acts/Chapters 1-47 - Rating: 8/10
-A great start for a historical fiction. A bit on the nose, but I generally find with historical fictions you have to pretend that no one knows what time period you're talking about so it's nearly unavoidable.
-Great character work. Each Character introduced in Kenshin's gang are examples of how the war has hurt these people. This reflects on Kenshin as he was a key figure in the war that caused all these people that he growing to love, pain. Whether it's Yahiko who lost his parents to draft of war. Or Sanosuke who joined the rebellion and through political means lost his captain and the person he admired most. Or even Kaoru, who attempts to run a dojo in a time when Swords are forbidden by the government. All of these are monumental in Kenshin's redemption from the wrongs he has committed.
-My issue is moreso in how these conflicts come up. They seem very much villain of the week story. And most Shonens are when they initially start and I understand that. Some do it great. (Yu Yu hakusho) some do it terribly (Reborn) I think RuroKen does it OKAY. There are a lot of conveniences and Kenshin is the type of character who can nearly fix everything at any point because he's Kenshin and he outclasses the people they face.
-This arc is really split into 4 mini arcs. Beginning 6/10. Sanosuke Arc 9/10. Jin-E Arc 7/10. Oniwanbanshu arc 10/10
The Kyoto Arc - Acts/Chapters 48-151 - Rating: 9/10
-Phenomenal Arc. Kenshin must tackle with the concept of whether he can keep his oath against a man who is arguably his better. The man who replaced him as Hitokiri. Shishio Makota.
-The jupponganta, the villain group of this ark are all well designed and each one makes perfect sense why they would follow Shisho. Whether they love, respect or just want to kill him. Each one feels like a tough nit group. As for Shishio himself. He's one of those cool villains. I understand why he is and why he's so charismatic. But as far as being an actual villain. He doesn't do much. I think that's to his benefit. His whole concept is realistic in terms of, he has a time limit to how long he can fight. Which is why he created the jupponganta. But that doesn't make him still do so little in the story besides sit and wait for Kenshin to show up. My only real gripe.
-Kenshin conquers all of his fears and redeems himself completely towards the government by stopping the man that replaced him. Mastering Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu and finally allowing his friends to help him. It's a profound and beautiful arc that makes Kenshins character shine.
Jinchu Arc - Acts/Chapters 152-255 - Rating: 7/10
-Where in the last arc we saw Kenshin redeem himself in the eyes of the government. This is the arc where we see Kenshin redeem himself in the eyes of himself. When his Brother in law returns from China and threatens his friends and everyone he's grown to care for over the last 151 chapters Kenshin struggles with the reality of what murdering his late wife has become of Enishi.
-To me, there are three chunks, but they all work towards the same goal. The beginning.(7/10) The Flashback. (9/10) The End (5/10)
-The flashback is the strongest part of this. It was the missing piece in Kenshin's character and it really helps us figure out how and why he became who he became. He smiles constantly because his late wife wanted him to smile more. It's so sweet and tragic.
-However, the actual arc collects a bunch of random riff raffs to challenge Kenshin and his group of friends that also kinda have "beef" with him. But this and the end were pretty much the weak parts of this arc to me. The one dudes whole problem was that he got his hand cut off....and Kenshin DIDN'T kill him so...he decided to lose his whale-like mind and join a terrorist group. Two of the others had people they loved died. Who weren't good dudes btw, they were villains. But still...revenge. The other guy had some kind of clan responsibility but when he was defeated Kenshin just told him to go back to his family so it really wasn't an issue. And the final guy...well he didn't even have a beef. He just wanted to test out his mega unrealistic puppets. I'm talking Naruto unrealistic for a historical fiction.
-But all of those dudes at least had reasons. The villains in the final part were all just throw away villains that even Watsuki reveals himself were just throwaways. They aren't too compelling and giving the characters we have grown to love a final fight may have been appreciated by me the initial go. (because I was 14) I just found myself not caring whatsoever about these fights that lasted a whole volume by themselves upon rereading.
Overall, Rurouni Kenshin is a fantastic historical fiction centered around fantastic real life historical individuals. It's ability to write honest, true characters of the time period makes me remember them and I truly found so much more good in this series with the reread. The biggest issues this series has is staying consistent and opting to expose it's lack of authenticity for grenade launchers. Overall 8/10

Seeing the gang realize that Kaouru was indeed alive was a nice moment.
As far as action goes, it’s nice to see Saitō, Aoshi, Sanosuke, and Yahiko fight and defeat Heishin's four bodyguards, the Sū-shin, so that Kenshin can have a proper fight against Enishi.
However…. How the heck can these four bodyguards be so strong? I’m having a tough time buying into the ‘power levels’ of the villains in this arc.

Pertarungan teman-teman Kenshin dengan Empat Dewa yang merupakan pengawal Heishin Wu kesannya cuma kayak dipanjang-panjangin, deh. Lumayan menarik. Tapi ya gitu aja. Watsuki tuh tokoh-tokoh antagonisnya gak terlalu memorable, ya. Cuma sedikit yang beneran menonjol dan itu udah dikeluarin sampai Kyoto Arc semua.
Untung yang pertarungan dengan Enishi menarik.
Dan dari sekian banyak temannya Kenshin, cuma Misao yang nggak dikasih spotlight. Iiiih.

The four bodyguards were the perfect example of fodder as they barely lasted a chapter each and they just had one gimmick and the fights were just boring. But the final fight with Enishi starts and it is pretty cool as the two are evenly matched and I do like that we see Enishi start to break down as he realizes that his sister may not have wanted any this and that he was wrong.
August 22, 2019
This one is 90% of the Action climax of the book. Each of the primary male supporting characters (Yahiko, Aoshi, etc.) face a battle with one of Enishi's underlings, and then Kenshin and Enishi face off.

Nerves.
Imagine training your nerves to swell up to such proportions that they look like bulging veins so you can have immediate reflexes.
Now imagine me 10 years old, thinking this was proven science.

I don't really understand this volume. It seems like a plus one before the big boss fight. I don't really get why it had to be inserted.

I believe this book is good because it starts off on a island with kenshin and his friends trying too rescue kenshins girlfriend because she has been taken away from batosai. It begins off with his friends fighting 4 gods and in order too get too the girl they have too defeat the martial arts gods first. Also each of the gods had similar weapons too kenshins friends which made it way easier to beat the 4 gods. One had a long staff as one of kenshins friends had a long sword, then the other had dual swords, and one had fists and the other had a wooden sword. The reason why it was so easy too kenshins friends is because they new other moves that they had never seen before. So they eventually all beat the gods. This is the reason why I think this a good book because it has so much action in it and the way the author explains it is amazing.

This volume is a good one. Aoshi is really awesome in it, and everybody gets their fight. I'm somewhat pissed at how little fighting Misao and Kaoru seem to get to do -- they're set up as strong women, and yet never get to fight! Still, I suppose that's more historically correct.
In terms of the science/medicine behind this, as far as I'm concerned it left the bounds of logic ages ago, so I'm not much concerned with the unreality of it.
Cruel place to end the volume, though, in the middle of a fight. On I go...

Another really good volume in this series, featuring the (likely) final major battles for the supporting characters against Enishi's goons and the beginning of Enishi & Kenshin's final confrontation.
Compared to some other battle sequences in earlier volumes, this was of significantly better than average quality.
Mostly fighting, but what do you expect from Shounen?

Not only was this an action packed series, but it was also full of great historical information. I learned so much about Japan's history by reading this series. Watsuki managed to throw in a nice amount of romance as well. All in all, it was a great fun read that kept me wanting more.
