Earlier today, I was working on a story idea that I came up with recently. In one scene I was thinking of, the protagonist becomes a powerful, dangerous superbeing with dangerous powers. Then I gave it some thought… and realized that I had been inspired by ^Busou Renkin.^

The works of Nobuhiro Watsuki--^Rurouni Kenshin^, ^Busou Renkin^, and ^Embalming: The Another Tale of Frankenstein^--are not as well known as ^Naruto^ or ^One Piece^, but I've found them to be incredible.

Meaningless bit of trivia--Eiichiro Oda, the author of ^One Piece^, worked as an assistant to Watsuki before going on to write his own series.

So put your hand in the air if you're a Watsuki fan!

And then go and kill Kenshin sues. Good luck.

'A powerful, dangerous super being with dangerous powers?'
Wow, man.

But I do enjoy Busou Renkin. And I have trawled it's page on FF.net for badfics before. I had no luck- there's not very many fics there.

Humph.

I just found a whole series of Busou Renkin badfic. It's five chapter long stories, that really should be all one story.

They are: Wedding Day, Honeymoon Crasher, Kazuki's Rescue, Rai's Reason, and Final Confrontation all by True Rai, on Fanfiction. (Sorry, but I couldn't get any links in here) I hereby claim them for sporking. :)

I haven't read any Rurouni Kenshin in a long long time, but I do remember liking it. (And the anime.) Maybe I could brush up on it...

Tell me more about your story idea, it sounds pretty cool :D

The protagonists fight monsters called "Wraths." While I haven't ironed out the power system they use yet (this is a relatively new story), they use negative energy to attack and positive energy to defend. The main character learns insanely powerful attacks as per norm from the old man mentor, and has a mysterious rival not affiliated with his organization.

Then it turns out that the mentor has been teaching him more and more powerful attacks in order for him to transform into a villainous super being of apocalyptic power. The boy uses his most powerful attack to neutralize a threat to his friends, and transforms. Then he kills the mentor for threatening his friends and begins to act all villainous and crazy. His teammates escape with his rival and hide out while trying to figure out a way to bring him down.

I realized that the transformation into super being part is a little reminiscent Kazuki Muto's transformation into Victor III. Although now that I've come to think about it… it's kind of like ^Puella Magi Madoka Magica^ too. Huh.

DO I HAVE ANY ORIGINAL THOUGHTS?
