Rurouni Kenshin

This episode was cut during its first run on CN, because the Yakuza wear swastikas on their backs. This has no tie with nazism or Hitler, however, since it's a little-known fact that the swastika originated in Japan during the 1600's. It was created and used by Tsugaro Nobuhiro during his war crusade, Hitler and the Nazi party simply ripped it off the Japanese. I assume this was cut due to the symbol, although I don't see why they didn't just digitally censor it, just like they do with every other drop of blood on the show.

It's one of the only times {or at least the first} when you see Sano wink in the series.

This episode was aired Saturday Jan. 24, 2004 on for the first time on CN, and on TV. It aried on CN's SVES.

As the summary states, it is true that the "swastika" was used in Japan for a long time before it was used by Hitler and the Nazis. However, it is rotated in a different direction and called a "manji", which is why the gang is called the Hishimanji gang.

This episode did NOT happen in the manga. It's simply filler and to explore Megumi a little more.
