There are more caps somewhere on my computer but it's midnight and I started this like three hours ago and my brain has lost all rational thought. In conclusion: WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL JUST HAPPENED ALL OVER MY COMPUTER.

It's been so long since I've watched Kenshin that I can't even remember how things originally went (and I didn't /quite/ finish it), but just from your screen caps I am very confused.

My first question, why is everything so BRIGHT? D: They're glowing.

Then um, what happened? o_O Did he turn violent instead?

BTW I kept meaning to tell you. Two days ago a man came in to my work to buy food, and he had Kenshin's scar. The exact one, same spot on his face. It was a shame he looked nothing like him. :( It was hard not to stare, though, to be sure I wasn't hallucinating it.
