The Song Behind the Scene: "Rurouni Kenshin" Quiz


The "Rurouni Kenshin" OST has some of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Unfortunately, like most back ground music, much of the tracks remain obscure. Because of this I thought of creating a quiz solely dedicated to the "Rurouni Kenshin" themes.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which "Rurouni Kenshin" song alludes to the fateful encounter between the young Shinta and his future master?

Answer: "In Memories - A Boy Meets the Man"

"In Memories - A Boy Meets the Man" was used for the first "Rurouni Kenshin" OVA, Tsuiokuhen. It alludes to young Kenshin's (then still known as Shinta) fateful encounter with Hiko Seijuro, the man who saved him from the bandits who were about to kill him and the same person who taught him the famed Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu technique.

Answer: "The Last Wolf Suite"

"Ippatsu Yarou" is Sanosuke's theme song. "Journey" is Soujiro Seta's theme, while "Warrior's Blue" was the theme used for Aoshi Shinomori.
3. What was the name of the background song that was prominently featured during the eradication of the Sekihoutai?

Answer: "Minagoroshi no Elegy"

"Minagoroshi no Elegy" means Elegy of Massacre, a fitting title to the tragic end of the Sekihoutai.
