    I loved the fued between Chou and Sanosuke, "Sweep sweep sweep! Cock a doodle do!" Hah hah... Saito is still as cool as ever, of course. As stated in the guide, I also noticed the cigaratte goof, thing. Seeing all of Shishio's guys was pretty cool, except for the "Stick throwing queer (quoted by Yumi, who the stick throwing queer likes Shishio... awkward thought there.) It was funny seeing Kenshin trying to hug Hiko, but it was also nice that he wasn't dead, and cold because Hiko basically disowned Kenshin as his apprentice, even though Kenshin already mastered the sword style... I wonder if Hiko will defend Misao and all of them, and if they will accept his protection if he did? Well, it was a good episode!moreless

    • Juppongatana Roll Call Sojiro Anji Henya Iwanbo Yumi Houji Kamatari Usui Elder Saizuchi, the short bald guy with the four whiskers, and his partner, Fuji, the giant who is only seen by his feet, are not mentioned in the roll call, although they are included in the group. Chou is not able to attend. Edit
    • Adding to the other point, the cigarette he has turns into a toothpick, than back and it is smoking, and then back into a smoking toothpick. Saitoh is smoking a toothpick. Edit
    • In the CN dub of this episode, Saito's cigarette is replaced with a toothpick, but for a brief scene, the toothpick is a cigarette (they didn't edit the scene like they normally would). Edit

    • Seijuro: Why are you wasting time around here when so many people in town are patiently waiting for your return. Get moving! Stop wasting time and leave already! (Kenshin looks up.) Kenshin: Huh? (gets up) Master. (leaps towards Seijuro for a hug) MASTERRRRRR!!! (Seijuro dodges and Kenshin crashes into a shelf full of pots) Seijuro: Getting hugged by you isn't really something I'd enjoy that much. Edit
    • (Saito walks away.) Sanosuke: Hey, you're running away? Saito: I don't have time to play games with you. Sanosuke: Hmm. Well, if you're not gonna fight me, that means you forfeit. I win by default. Saito: (not even looking back) Heh. Whatever you say. (Sanosuke becomes agitated. His anger grows.) Sanosuke: rrrrrrrRRRR HEY! You think I'm gonna settle for that?! Come on, fight me! Turn around and face me like a man! Edit
    • Saito: Tell me, what have you done to improve your defense? (Sanosuke grins and lifts his hands in a shrug, shaking his head sheepishly.) (Saito grabs Sanosuke's shirt) Sanosuke: (holding up middle finger) Hey! Did you really think I'd just do what you told me to do? Concentrating on defense during a fight just isn't my style. I'll fight the way that I want to fight! You got that, Saito? Saito: Heh. Then you're still as useless as ever. Edit
