Sanosuke: Piece of cake. Kenshin: You got hurt pretty badly for a piece of cake.
Yahiko: Were you gonna try to leave me out of it? I don't think so. I'm a member of Kenshin's group too, I'll have you know. Sanosuke: One of Kenshin's group? What do you mean? Yahiko: Heh. They can bring bows and arrows and knives and even guns with them. Just let me at those creeps. I, Yahiko Miogi will personally defeat them all. Sanosuke: (sticking foot in Yahiko's face) You're pretty arrogant for a kid, you know that? Yahiko: What'd you call me? I'll get you for that! (jumps on Sanosuke and bites his head.) Kaoru: Yahiko, stop that right now! Kenshin: Oh boy. If they're fighting themselves already, Kenshin's group is in for a lot of problems.
Megumi: My, I'm surprised. She is such a violent girl.
Yahiko: So to make a long story short, I guess he put the moves on the woman he saved. Heh-ha. I guess I can't leave you alone, can I? Kenshin:No, that really is not the case here. Kaoru: (towering over Ken) Then what's your excuse? Kenshin; A-As I was saying… (Kenshin is shocked as Megumi puts her hand on his cheek affectionately.) Megumi: Sir Ken was wonderfully heroic when he saved me. (A glass sound is heard when Kaoru's anger mark bounces off her shoulder.) Kaoru: Right.
Kenshin Himura: I had hoped not to be a bother to you Ms. Kaoru. All things considered there may be an ugly incident or two before this is over I'm afraid. But I will make sure to keep you safe from harm Ms. Kaoru. Kaoru Kamiya: Kenshin...
Kaoru: Where are you going? Megumi: That man is different from Beshimi. There's no way he can win. Kaoru: Kenshin's been fighting for your sake in case you haven't noticed. How can you just run away when he's doing all this for you? Megumi: The Oniwaban group is a ruthless bunch who don't have a shred of remorse about killing other people. They don't show any mercy even to women. You may end up being killed by them as well. Kaoru: No matter how strong the enemy is, Kenshin will protect me always. Kenshin's not the kind of man who'd ever break a promise to anyone.
Sanosuke Sagara: Why does she have opium? Maybe she's the one we really have to watch out for.
Sanosuke: Kenshin's the kind of guy who's pretty good at dealing with things like swords but not so great when it comes to dealing with people, especially women and children. Kaoru: Yeah, I know that but... Sanosuke: But, you know, I guess there are limits to just how good anyone can be. Kaoru: Huh? Sanosuke: I'm absolutely certain Kenshin will be a perfect gentlemen to the very end. Probably. Kaoru: What do you mean, "probably?"
Sanosuke: All right, loser! Let's try this one more time!
Kenshin: That's a good decision. It's much better to attack and get burned a little than to dodge it during battle and get burned a lot.
Aoshi Shinomori is based on Toshizo Hijikata, real life commander of the Shinsengumi. Hijikata was considered to be a remarkably handsome man, but was a pretty ruthless leader who demanded intense adherence to the laws of the Shinsengumi.
Kanryu Takeda is based on Kanryuusai Takeda, real life captain of the fifth squad of the Shinsengumi. In real life, Takeda betrayed the Shinsengumi to the Imperialists and was assassinated for it.
Nobuhiro Watsuki's interest in American comics rears its head again. Aoshi Shinomori wears a trenchcoat much like Gambit's from the X-Men.
Actually, in the manga, Sanosuke was winning at gambling, thanks to Kenshin's DEAD-ACCURATE predictions. It's probably changed in the anime to make the scene funnier.
In the manga, after Kenshin and Sanosuke knocked out Beshimi, they IMMEDIATELY find opium in Megumi's possession, not later after Yahiko got poisoned. THAT'S why Sano was so irritable towards Megumi before then.
Weird, no one has discussed Samurai X yet.
