Episode Summary

Upon arriving at the island where the pirates live, a couple of Shura's men discover opium in the cargo from the ship that they raided. Most of the men under Shura's command don't understand why Shura insists on only stealing things that they need to survive, and only steal these things from wealthy people. Ginjo, one of Shura's men, and a couple of his followers decide to go into the opium trade without the permission of Shura.moreless

A rather intimate sword session there...

The beggining was rather strange... was Shura hitting on Kenshin or something by not killing him? Just joking. But seriously, Kenshin is so devoted and stuff to Kaoru! That is just crazy, that he is content to death knowing that she is alive... hopefully. Speaking of that, the explosion on the ship left a suspenseful tone in the air, I hope Sano, Kaoru, and Yahiko are ok. The ending was probably the best part of the episode when Kenshin jumps off with Shura because it had the most suspense, and the end had most of the action that took place in the entire episode. So good episode, that it was.moreless
