Disclaimer: I do not own Kenshin, the oro, or any of the people or
things from Rurouni Kenshin.
The origin of the oro is uncertain, however, it is believed to have been created during the first ten years of the Meiji era in Japan. It is derived from the Japanese term "ara." The oro is an exclamatory word, much like the English "huh?". Its uses include expressing surprise, confusion, or even pain.
The execution of the oro is crucial for its effectiveness. This powerful little word cannot just be tossed casually around. Timing is everything. The more serious the situation, the better the result. For example, say that a picture of Himura Kenshin (the assumed inventor of the oro) has *cough* mysteriously been spray-painted onto the front door of your school. While your parents are furiously interrogating you for your motives, stare at them in a kawaii, befuzzled sort of way, and say in a timid, sweet voice, "Oro?".
Yes, it is that simple. As long as your posture is straight, and your voice rises in pitch at the end of the oro, it will work. With twenty minutes of practice a day, you too will mastered the perfect end to any argument within three to four weeks. So whip out your Sakaba-to, slip on your purple socks, and start training today!
