Well, yeah, the mask also hides his age. He looked like an old man without the mask.

@Kaarme

Hey, anime watcher, do I have a surprise for you...

Manga had lots of stuff censored when adapted into anime. Next chapter moment is one of them.

 

[Kaarme]

@Rainbow_Prism Hmm..? I have read the manga before. Is there a person who hasn't?

 

[Rainbow_Prism]

Then you remember that his face did not show his age. In fact, I seem to remember next chapter implies he is not as old as you imply.

 

[Kaarme]

@Rainbow_Prism I'm just posting here whatever comes to mind, without too much thought put into it. That's my style when rereading stuff, to avoid posting spoilers. It may lead to posting stuff I know to be false, but that's not really the point. I can't post serious speculation as it would be too phony, but I can always post silly, meaningless pseudo-speculation.

"I have read the manga before. Is there a person who hasn't?"
Trust me, I guess most people who "know" Kenshin just watched the anime. In the trailers of the new live-actions there are several comments asking who Enishi is, or if it is a new story. And the same is repeated about the Hokkaido arc.
