    What an awesome episode. Misao's part was really cool, I loved it when she was like my name is Misao and then she says she won't tell them what her name is... very funny. And then she took all of them out. That shows that she actually is pretty strong. Then when Eiji was actually going to kill him, I was like, wow, that kid really is hardcore. So anyway when it shows the story of Shishiro, that is pretty rough... not saying I understand what he thinks completely, but after going through that, I can understand why he hates the Meiji era so much. The fight between Kenshin and Senkaku was cool, Kenshin beat him so easily though! Well, superior episode.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • When Kenshin does a Ryu Sho Sen to defeat Senkaku he uses his left hand to push on the back of his blade. This would be okay with an ordinary sword, but with a sakabatou (reverse bladed sword) he would cut his hand. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • In the English version, three of the four bad guys are played by the same voice actors who star in Cowboy Bebop. Shishio=Spike Yumi=Faye Senkaku=Jet The exception is Sojiro=Ed. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • (After Kenshin spared Senkaku's life) Saito: Someday showing mercy will get you killed. Kenshin: I don't kill in cold blood. Not for any reason. Edit
    • Kenshin: Shishio, I can't allow anymore bloodshed just for your personal justice! Edit
    • Misao: (To Eiji) What do you think of me now? Edit
