    Great fights hide show

    This episode continues the history of the past few episodes, when Kenshin and the crew arrive at the mansion, they see what damage has the fight done and Kenshin stops everyone fighting, he says that he's going to fight Raijuuta in a one-on-one duel. And that he does, at first it is quite hard, but when he gets his strategy it is cool, also in the beggining of the fight, Yutaro tries to stop them from fighting, by saying that they are both great swordsman and that Kenshin could live in the new country as well, but Raijuuta doesn't agree and slices his arm. Then Kenshin gets angry and beats Raijuuta.

    Good ending. hide show

    I liked the ending, actually. At first I thought the episode was kinda... dull. But it got better... when Megumi announced that he would never be a swordsman I was like... ouch... poor kid. I mean, he deserved it, but well that was harsh. Then afterwards when Yahiko makes Yutarou his new rival Yutarou will now only use his left hand, which to a person like him is just a small handicap. So all in all I thought the lesson was learned and everything turned out fine. So was Yutarou speaking Japenese or English when he said he was going to Germany...? Nice episode.
