Whoa! All that? So what's this OVA I've seen mentioned here and there about? Does it cover any of this, or branch off in a different direction entirely?
While I was reading all this, it struck me oddly how very much like the RK 'Legend of Kyoto' anime arc it seems....
Thank you, btw! If by some odd chance my Hubby surprises me with a RK 2nd Series DvD thinpack for my birthday, I'll send you the singles so you can see Aoshi in all his animated glory!
The OVA takes place after the anime (they're living in the trailer by that point) but a few months before the Sendai stuff where you got Aya's backstory. It really has nothing to do with the stuff I just got telling you.
But it's pretty cool and you get the first signs of crazy, 'Kill! Kill! KILL!' Ken in it. I don't think it's been dubbed though.
Umm...*tries to remember it* This girl Omi knows ends up hacking into government information with her friends and because of what they did her friends all got killed and almost her. Her brother also becomes involved and it turns out they want revenge on this US General who's stationed in Japan because he killed their parents. Weiss then gets ordered to kill them but because Omi is friends with girl and Ken agrees with them, Omi and Ken end up helping them escape.
Yohji and Aya then get orders to kill Omi and Ken which leads to a cool fight of Aya and Yohji against Omi and Ken. Aya, Omi and Yohji end up "dieing" and it's then relieved that the Persia they were receiving their orders from was a fake and that he had kidnapped Manx.
Then there's a plot hole jump (where would WK be without those, lol) where Weiss shows up alive and unscratched (seriously it they looked like they hadn't been in a fight at all) at the bad guy's place where they tell him they knew that Manx was captured because when talking to them while given them missions she had said she was allergic to black lilies which mean "lies" so she was basically telling them it was a false mission so they set it up where they were trying to kill each other. Weiss kills the bad guy. The End.
