| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That fight was getting retarded tbh. Sojiro's character is a little wierd. |
 |
| Ah, Soujiro. His backstory was hinted at this episode and his emotions seem to be fluctuating because recalling of Senkaku's final words (before he killed him) and everything about Kenshin's idealism. That's the one thing I really like about Rurouni Kenshin, the characters, even antagonists are all "human" in there own way. The short duel they had was epic though, and his Shukuchi is insane. Sano and Yumi interactions are always a highlight lol. Looks like it's going to get to the serious part next episode though. |

-Shuda- said: That's the one thing I really like about Rurouni Kenshin, the characters, even antagonists are all "human" in there own way. Only the villains since the Kyoto arc started are like that. The previous ones were mindless, evil drones. But yeah, I like that these villains display a human side to them. |

| Was hoping Soujiro would at some point kill the female, despite it upsetting Shishio, but she's getting annoying questioning everything he does, I'd assume it'd annoy him at least. |
| Soujiro's so cool! <3 (even if he is a little 'off' ovo) His Shukuchi is so fast-! Can't wait to see the full backstory Gotta wonder, if he believes the strong live and the weak die, what does he think about Yumi? Since she doesn't seem very "strong". Maybe he has different standards for women. |
| RIP people with epileptic seizures :| Pretty good development, I wonder if we'll get to see a bit more of his backstory! Let's see what's next. |

| This episode & the following 2 ones brought back loads of memories. The fight between Soujirou & Kenshin was the very one that made Rurouni Kenshin appeal to me in the first place. Soujirou was a total mixture of cuteness, fun and badass in this episode. Always interesting to watch the episodes focusing on him. Sano & Yumi should work harder on their narrations which were affected by their lack of knowledge & quarrel, lol. Just kidding. Their interactions were pretty fun to watch. I used to not understand the scene of Soujirou & Senkaku's talk and the bird thing. Now that I think about it, what that scene would like to show was Soujirou's struggles after seeing Kenshin try to protect Senkaku from death. He hesitated and had no idea why someone who believed no killing could be so powerful. But the bird preying on fish scene convinced him that it’s right to believe that the strong will live and the weak shall die. So he killed Senkaku to further persuade himself that what he’s been following for years was correct. His jumping back for shoelace break was surprisingly sudden. It caught me off guard the first time I watched it. More of his backstory will be revealed in the next episode. You’ll get to know why he’s been so conflicted afterwards. Easily an 11/5 episode with the fast pacing, the badassness of Shukuchi & glorious OST. |

| Interesting fight! It seems Soujiro is definitely being affected by Kenshin's words and ideals.... |
 |
Loved the depiction of speed and the Shukuchi.  |
 |
| For the love of sanity can we lock Sano and Yumi out of the room already?! While a step above the Aoshi fight with more action actually happening with the usual dull monologuing, their chibi-stye interuptions as forced comedy insertion to what is supposed to be a serious fight just makes the entire episode a joke...and not a good one. It has all the potential to be a good duel. An opponent Kenshin can't read and is faster than him, that slowly breaks due to failling to understand Kenshin. If it weren't for Sano and Yumi blurting out every other seconds, I'd be more tense as to whether Sojiro's emotion return would make him a tougher opponent or not, or a bit of both i.e. stronger/faster, yet now at least readable. |
