    So after they break into the guys mansion they fight that Hannyu guy(sorry for misspelling) and it was a cool match and everything ha ha Kenshin used his sword as a ruler... classic. So then they keep going and Kenshin soon encounters Aoshi. Aoshi takes Sanosuke down with one hit, very impressive indeed. When Aoshi fights Kenshin, I thought Kenshin was going to crush him but then he pretty much got crushed... Aoshi is like Ty Lee and Neji and Hinata:| Like Gentle Fist or something really cool style. I wonder how the Kenshin group will get out of this one...moreless

  • Is Himura strong enough to go up against Shinomori?

    The Himura group intrudes Edo Castle in order to save Ms. Takani. But before they can save her Himura must go up against Hannya. It was a fierce battle as Hannya used the Kempu style form of attack and a spell in which Himura could not predict the length of his arms. Himura decided to use the Shin-ken stance, The Sword that Believes, in order to measure the length of Hannya's arm and strike. Himura proved victorious and proceeded further into the castle. Shinomori appeared and took out Sanosuke with one blow. Himura unsheathed his sword and began to attack him, but Shinomori proved to be too quick and the kodachi stressed a defensive tactic of the Kempu style. Himura now remains weakened on the floor.

    • The bandages covering Kaoru's breasts disappear then reappear. This happens in the beginning around when Kanryu was trying to bribe Kenshin to work for him. Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • In the anime, Kanryuu thinks by himself of using the Gatling Gun. In the manga, he doesn't think about it until one of his employees tells about being the testing day for the gun. Edit
    • In the manga, it's Aoshi, not Hannya, to save Kanryuu from Megumi, who is capable to make a cut in Kanryuu's left arm before that. Edit
    • Once again, it can be seen how Nobuhiro Watsuki was influenced by American comics with Hannya's claws, which are definitely an homage to Wolverine's from the X-men. Edit

    • (Threatening Kannryn) Kenshin: Are you gonna bring Megumi down or shall I come up? Edit
    • Kanryu Takeda: I don't get it. What's his reason for doing this? What in God's name is Battousai the Manslayer doing here? What benefit could there be? What does he have to gain by helping this woman? Hannya: If Himura the Battousai acted only what was beneficial to him, he would be a high ranking officer of the army at this time. Of course, people like you would never understand. Edit
    • Hannya: You're the one that needs to understand, Kanryu. Our leader is the only one who leads the Oniwaban group. I don't remember swearing allegiance to the likes of you. Kanryu Takeda: How dare you! Hannya: The only one who can give us orders is our leader, Aoshi Shinomori. And we are always willing to die without hesitation for our leader. Edit
