[RuRouNi_MaRk]

as you can see my name is rurouni mark. but what is the meaning of rurouni? i just put dat cuz it sounds cool like rurouni kenshin.

[kage no tenshi]

rurouni means wanderer so rurouni kenshin (I like that anime) is about himura kenshin who is a wanderer but used to be battousai the man slayer, or something like that

[RuRouNi_MaRk]

thnx fer dat reply. hmm...wandering mark. sounds weird. rurouni mark sounds better.

[Kagome]

wandering mark can actually have alot of meanings lol
ok that was spam

[Neko Koneko]

Wasn't rurouni a wandering samurai without a master? Or was that a ronin?

[RuRouNi_MaRk]

wut other meanings does wandering mark have huh? neways...i thought i heard that ronin means swordless samurai or something like that.

[BläckRose]

A ronin is like a trainee...

[Nightmare]

If my manga memory servers me true, rurouni is literarlly 'one adrift the waves'. Of course, I might be thinking of something else...

[souma_hatsuharu]

yeah rurouni means wanderer without a master, but in kenshin's context it's wandering samurai so...yeah

[Neko Koneko]

So to put it all together, a rurouni is a wandering samurai without a master.

Whee~
