I saw some questions about what in the end was Utsuro and Shouyou. And I ended up thinking about the philosophical concept of both in anime

(I don’t know if this is correct ksksk but it was what I liked to think)

I always imagined Utsuro and Shouyou as something more mythological and human at the same time.

The human they were born was like all the others, but the social position they were placed in and their traumas created not many personalities but the duality of the human mind. after so much suffering he had several ways of interpreting his problems, in this way he generated the two great human contradictions that are hate/fear and hope.

Utsuro would be the feeling of denial, the attempt to escape from what has been imposed on him for so long. the feeling of revenge. And Shouyou was the hope even in hard times. Even having everything around him collapsing, he believed in humans.

And in the end showed that both Utsuro and Shouyou were completely human. They were the living form of human feelings, feelings that go hand in hand even though distant.

Print you are asking me to recall what I was thinking about one year ago 🤣🤣 I honestly don't remember which other episode I was thinking about... Maybe Rakuyou, at the beginning, in the roof scene? 🤔 maybe that's too late to be that, but I can't exclude my one-year-ago-self counted it!

It was an ask but it seems I can’t press Post to the answer post I don’t know why, so…

@printfogey

This is going to be more an argumentation on various points than an actual, straightforward, answer.

It’s quite difficult, if not impossible, to find a unique, definitive answer to this question.

Honestly, I have my idea, which is strongly connected to the way I perceive them (above all Katsura), but I’ll put here also some viewpoints which could seem (or be) contrasting with my reasoning. If the opposite sides may reconcile or not, it’s up to the reader!

Read below!

“What are then Samurai?”: thoughts on Takasugi's speech at Katsura in the light of Shouyou's Bushido.

“What are then Samurai?”

For a long while, this sentence Takasugi said to Katsura during their dialogue in Benizakura arc, I thought it was funny and I used to think “dude you should know”.

But after some time, I thought it could be way more meaningful than a purely rhetorical/philosophical question.

And I've got the answer when I noticed something peculiar.

So, I am sharing this idea I had for a while, in case somebody had the same initial reaction as me. (Of course, it is my way to view and interpret it, which could be right or wrong.)

"Katana kill, master smiths forge them, Samurai... What then are samurai? 

An object that exists for a single purpose is strong, flexible and beautiful." 

Apparently, he is being philosophical and rhetorical, nothing more. But he is talking to Zura at the moment they are facing the fact that their paths are now drifting apart, because of Zura's “betrayal” (from Takasugi's point of view) with his political change of heart in his new moderate stance and the acceptance of a world he can't put up with, like Zura sometime before. 

Then he basically tells Zura they can't but destroy that world for having taken Shouyou, who set the foundation for their world teaching them his bushido, away from them, and adds his objective has never changed. 

Let's now consider the moment we get acquainted with Shouyou's bushido. 

“What is a Samurai? Would you tell me? […] I am not the kind of Samurai you know.” and then goes on, declaring his Bushido to an amazed little Shinsuke. 

Since before Shouyou Takasugi and Katsura were looking for their definition and path of being a Samurai, they were fed up with that academic, static, education of what a samurai “officially” was. Sensei provided them with a wide, fluid and original representation of “being a samurai”, fulfilling a need they had, their place in the world. (It is interesting so that those then-little-samurai are now confronting with the topic in their adult days.)

Takasugi also says “An object that exists for a single purpose is strong, flexible and beautiful” talking about katana, but... Maybe the bushido Shouyou had given them as well as considering the adjectives he used might as well describe it, not only the sword. 

Translation and actual wording may vary from one another, but both Takasugi at Zura and Shouyou at Takasugi are asking the same question: what is it a samurai (or what he does, or what's his purpose, if you prefer).

So, Shinsuke with that rhetorical question on the ship was not being merely philosophical but appealing to Zura's memories and emotions stirring them up, to make him understand his view.

And, above all, he is pointing out he's not straying from Sensei's teaching (Zura openly confirms it in Rakuyou).
