While running a little errand for the Akabeko owner, Sano sees a painting of his mentor Sagara Souzou. He finds out that the artist is his old friend Tsukioka Katsuhiro who had also been part of the Sekihoutai. Like Sano, Katsu hates the current government and is still trying to get even with the Ishin government for the massacre of the Sekihoutai. When Katsu asks Sano if he wanted to join him in dismantling the Ishin government, Sano must choose between his new friends, and his friend from the past.moreless

It was an ok episode...

9.2

"Superb"

By titiembe, Dec 21, 2007

The reason why I took a few points off is because on youtube someone labeled the parts wrong and I watched the second part of the episode first, leading myself into major confusion. Eh heh heh... so anyway it was a good episode I thought it was a litle boring but still good. It lets us know about another person in Sanosuke's past, and how Sanosuke has changed in the present as well. The fight scene was cool and all, I thought it was funny when the first guy with the sword attacked Sanosuke and hit the ceiling, and then Sano just punched him out. Hah... I can't wait what Sano decides to choose between in the next episode!moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- Tsukioka Katsuhiro is the only other surviving member of the Seikihoutai, other than Sanosuke.
  EDIT SHARE
- Katsuhiro was a rather disturbed, depressing character in the original manga. In the anime, his character was toned down a few notches.
