I don't know about this one. I kinda side a little with the assassins. They want to bring down the corrupted government, whereas the teacher only cared about bringing kids into that corrupted world.

I liked it. It was nice to see another samurai taking the same path as Kenshin =)

I enjoyed this episode, I like when someone reforms their life into a more peaceful one. What the assasins were doing didn't really bother me until they tried to use force and blackmail to get the old man to join them.

They got defeated by Kenshin so easily. I like RK but the one thing is that Kenshin always seems to win and that's kinda boring.

thats becuz kenshin, unlike other shonen hero's started at the top, rather at the botton, all he has to do is defend his title.

I know you wont read this anymore but as

says: Kenshin is already a hero, he just fights to save others now, unlike other anime where the main character has to learn from bottom and get better in every episode. Kenshin is already good, the only movement he can have is to become better at protecting others without becoming Battousai again. Which I hope to see, even so.

I was liking the story in this one but it seems every good character besides Kenshin, Sano and Kaoru is being made to do something against their will when we meet them, until some swordplay by the Kenshin posse solves everything.

I guess that's the point, but at least the prof seemed tempted by the dark side for a split second.

So Kenshin ended up with a cut on his neck? I was very curious if Kenshin left a mark or broke something of the leader assassin, I guess not.

I don't like this samurai, he is not willing to raise the sword in order to protect his closed ones.

(To the comment above: Hmm, good point. )

Anyway. Finally, an episode without something disturbing to me. XD (ex: nearly naked fat guys or false evil rituals blahhh) And more Sano! <3 Hehe, I loved Yahiko's comment near the beginning. -w- Sano and Megumi are SO right for each other. And gosh, Kenshin is always just too adorable! Still hard to believe he was(sort of still is) one of the deadliest samurai with that cute face, lol.

That doesn't solve the problem. It doesn't put the children out of danger too. Kenshin should have knock him out, except if he had a reason not to do so.

I liked the new samurai. He looked so average, which fits the role he is trying to play now as a normal guy. The episode played out pretty well too.

Threatening the children was very low, they just don't seem to get that the man is no longer the same one.

The new samurai is interesting. Good episode. Sanosuke is my favourite so far.

didn't understand why the band of assassins felt they so desperately needed to have this guy along for their next assassination, but then in the end they dispatch of everybody so easily and he doesn't even participate in the fight anyways lol

It was their dumbass manager who told them to. The higher-ups never know what's good for the team or the scope of the project, lol.
