Kino's Journey	comment	Kino's Journey (Kino no Tabi; the English title Kino's Travels is also used on official Japanese merchandise) is a Light Novel series written by Keiichi Sigsawa and illustrated by Kouhaku Kuroboshi, which was first published under the Dengeki Bunko imprint in 2000 and is still ongoing. It was adapted into a thirteen-episode TV anime series in 2003, one OVA, and two specials (all set in original anime's universe). In 2017, it received two back-to-back manga adaptations and a new anime with a new studio.It follows the travels of a teenager named Kino as she wanders across the world on her talking motorcycle Hermes, encountering all manner of eccentric people and cultures along the way. Yet the world is as dangerous as it is beautiful, and Kino is often confronted by the uglier aspects of human nature. All that keeps her going is her quick wit, the pistol at her side, and a steadfast rule to stay in a country for no longer than three days and two nights.See also Allison and Lillia, a more lighthearted action-adventure series from the same author-illustrator team. Compare Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro. See Gakuen Kino for the High School AU.

When people are shown being executed, you can see a blood splatter, possibly implying that the victims' heads split open.

At the end of those three days, the guards show up at the hotel she was staying at and abruptly ask her to leave, holding her to her earlier promise despite her having changed her mind. At first it seems kind of cruel considering how friendly everyone in that town was, but they at least send her off with some food and ask her to visit again sometime. Later that night, Kino wakes up just in time to witness a pyroclastic flow quickly engulf the town within a matter of seconds, killing everyone there. The bagged lunch also contained a note from Sakura's mother which told her the adults knew about the impending doom, and chose to stay behind. So by kicking her out so suddenly, they actually saved her and Hermes from death.

The most prominent example of the series' contrast between cynicism and idealism is the episode "Her Journey -Love and Bullets-" in which a young woman and a man traveling together cross paths with Kino. The woman claims to be on a quest to bring peace to the world and proclaim the glory of pacifism. Kino asks how she could have survived this journey so long without encountering any danger that would have to be solved with violence. To which the woman responds that she doesn't know, she has always assumed that they've just been lucky. The truth is the man traveling with her has quietly killed off anyone in their path who might make themselves a problem. He kept this a secret because he loves her and doesn't want to shatter her vision of an ideal world.

So the motorrad disagreed, saying they deserved to die. The "Kind Country" being hospitable to Kino was an attempt to atone for being hostile to outsiders in the past. "A Tale of Olden Days" has a politician flee his country, due to an uprising from the people who want him dead for his misdeeds. Master and her disciple are hired to escort him out... and Everyone Has Standards ensues as he's horrified by the way they utterly massacre the people trying to kill him. The epilogue reveals that in atonement, he dedicated his life to the next country he settled down in, which may or may not have been the lesson Master and her disciple were trying to impart.

The Elder wisely disagrees and even more wisely tells him to leave them alone. Next the younger spots Kino and thinks she's an easy target. The Elder again wisely disagrees. He then tells the younger that their ideal target carelessly attacks anyone, to the point they'll someday attack a weak-looking opponent that turned out to Curb-Stomp Battle them. Played straight when it turns out the reason the elder is so wise in picking targets is years ago when he was younger he tried to rob Master and her apprentice.

Kino then suggests that there are three people here- Kino, Hermes and the man- and asks what would happen if Kino and Hermes deemed the man to be in the wrong. Cue Oh, Crap! as the man realizes he'd be executed. In "A Peaceful Country," when Kino is disturbed by the museum curator's defending her decision to have a genocide competition in lieu of war, the curator challenges Kino to come up with a better plan. Kino has no response. In "Land of Necessity", Kino is manipulated into killing death convicts as part of the country's version of the death penalty. She's less than thrilled when she finds out, and appears somewhat judgmental when the country tells her that while they apologize for offending her, the system is a necessity. However, when they then ask Kino if she considers killing people for her own survival to be a necessity, she has no rebuttal. They point out it's the same principle.

In "Country of Liars," the man's final confession that he knew all along that his housekeeper is the princess he loved turns the entire story on its head. In Episode 10 of the 2003 anime, it turns out that the supposedly robotic housekeeper was actually an elderly human woman, and that the family she served are the robots she made a long time ago. As such, the family isn't being ungrateful when they dump the meal the nanny made down the trash disposal; they actually can't eat it. In "A Land Not Permitting Discrimination", the people criticize the immigration inspectors living outside of the city walls, describing them as barbarians who always wear masks and are unwelcome in their beloved society within the walls... and then it's revealed that the people inside the walls are living in a dumpster, and the immigration inspectors are living in vastly better conditions who understandably wear the masks for hygienic reasons.

The woman who voices Kino in the English dub is just a circumstance of the casting; it's implied that Kino is meant to be 11-12 during the flashbacks, and around 15 for the rest of the series. Averted in the novels as it's stated in volume 10 that Kino started traveling 'three years after her 12th birthday', meaning that Kino left Shishou at the age of 15. However, it's insinuated that several years had passed since she started traveling. The stories are not generally in chronological order, so her age in each story is up in the air, though she's consistently described as being in her mid-teens, at least. Similarly, Shizu is 22... at some point in his chronologically early appearances, but it's unclear how much time is passing between stories.

Kino's Journey / int_a4cd4fc6	type	Cruel Twist Ending
Kino's Journey / int_a4cd4fc6	comment	Cruel Twist Ending: In the novels, many of the stories are cruel enough to make the viewer suffer their own BSOD. One episode where Kino helps a stranded group of people survive a harsh winter, we found out they were slave traders who had eaten their previous haul and look to enslave Kino to make up for it. Another episode has Kino visiting neighboring countries who used to constantly be at war. When Kino asks how they achieved peace, she finds the opposing countries have made their battles into a game in which both countries see who can slaughter the most inhabitants of an adjacent defenseless village. And just to twist the knife further, the "innocent victims" in that village have taken to senselessly murdering travelers, simply as a means of venting their frustration. In another episode, A Kind Country, Kino finds a country so likable that Kino nearly breaks the three day rule of staying in one place, yet the townsfolk mysteriously refuse to let her stay longer. When Kino leaves, the next day she wakes up to find the country destroyed by a nearby erupted volcano. In "A Land Without Walls", Kino comes across a seemingly friendly traveling clan who, of course, are actually much more sinister than they present themselves as. She's saved by one member who brings down the clan by burning the grass that the adults have become addicted and literally dependent on—including himself. He decides to spend his remaining days encouraging the clan's children to lead new lives, before the withdrawal can kill him. The children kill him before he can explain how despicable the adults were, only seeing the murderer of their families, before the children then smoke what little remains of the grass... Subverted with "A Land of Identical Faces". While the concept of a country full of clones might seem unsettling, it's made clear during Kino's stay that this is a peaceful, friendly nation... and then another country, disturbed by them, razes the country to the ground. However, as it turns out, all the people survive and take the destruction in stride as they begin to rebuild.

Kino's Journey / int_a8a4b41e	comment	Not So Stoic: Kino holds a reserved demeanor throughout, and though she remains open and pleasant, she keeps a guarded calmness throughout. This peels away in some rare moments. "A Peaceful Land": After learning that the whole reason for the peace in this land was violently killing the native population to maintain peace of mind, she departs, but not before questioning such violent ideas. Later, she's attacked and almost killed by the native population who use similar logic and it all just leads up to a cycle of people killing those lesser than them. After driving them off, Kino looks considerably shaken before leaving with Hermes. In "A Kind Land", Kino's reaction to the town's destruction completely strips away the calm neutrality she maintained for much of the series. One of the stories in the second series' ninth episode has a scene of Kino completely losing her cool over the fact that staying at a country Master recommended required a Mind Wipe of having been in the country in the first place. Even more frustrating for Kino, Hermes remembers everything (as the drug used only works on humans) but promised not to say anything about it. In Episode 10 of the 2003 anime, Kino gasps in shock when her hosts dump the meal their housekeeper made down the garbage chute while the housekeeper is away, then lie and claim they enjoyed it.

Kino's Journey / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: The museum curator in Episode 12 of the 2003 anime lost her husband and sons to war, so she managed to broker peace with the enemy with the help of a like-minded woman in the enemy power... by turning the war into a competition to kill indigenous peoples. She fully acknowledges that they're killing innocent people, but notes that this was the only solution that would appeal to the enemy countries' violent and competitive nature, and claims that the overall death toll is lower than when the two nations were fighting each other.
