Nice filler episode.

9.8

"Superb"

By titiembe, Dec 17, 2007

It's a filler cuz it wasn't shown in the manga by the way... hm, Yahiko's ego gets in the way and he falls into this trap that these bad guys who want to kill Kenshin place to steal Kenshin's reverse blade sword... in the end Yahiko still makes it out and kicks the bad guys in the nuts. That looked like it hurt, it sent him into another dimension... and then Kenshin once again kicks the other bad guys butts... I hope thats the last we hear of those lying people who pretend to use magic. Kenshin's last sword move was really cool and stuff... also this review applies to the dubbed version, couldn't find the sub.moreless

- Yahiko: I've had enough of these wooden swords. I should train with a real sword, like a real swordsman. Kaoru: No way! I'm sure if you even held a real sword you'd be trembling in fear! Yahiko: I don't think that would happen at all!

- Yahiko: Hey you over there, can you take away this wooden sword for me? Kaoru: Stop fooling around Yahiko you're still a begginer do you hear me!?

NOTES (6)
ADD NOTES
- Sanosuke doesn't make an appearance in this episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- Once again, the law against swords is shown in the anime. On his way to taking the sakabatou back to Kenshin, Yahiko had to evade the cops who tried to take him under arrest.
  EDIT SHARE
- Gohei Hiruma made fortune by selling some lands. That's why his brother intended to take over Kaoru's land in the manga. Kihei expected the land to become something around five or six times more valuable in the future.
  EDIT SHARE
- Yahiko shows he has the skill of improvisation in taking down Hiruma for the last time.... something that will serve him well in Kyouto.
  EDIT SHARE
- This episode shows that Yahiko sorta kinda likes someone.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is one of the six filler episodes, eps. 13-18, that do NOT happen in the manga.
