| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Obvious boring episode that I really didn't want to watch. Everyone pouts around about Kenshin leaving. Oh, soooo sad. :/ Stupid Kaoru acting like she has a disease that's eating her from the inside out. I hate shit like this. Oh well, next episode better pick it up or I'm skipping some shit. |

| I completely disagree with everything you above said, simple reason. Without this episode, the next ones wouldn't be that great. It would be just like the previous ones where they smile and go after Kenshin. This way it's more sentimental, and you get more attached to their feelings... Not that any of you 2 will ever read my comment :). |

| Straight to the heart. 5/5 Let's go to Kyoto! |

But I think it's dumb they even think they should get Kenshin back. Kenshin has a responsibility, a goal he needs to finish and they should understand why he needs to finish it and have faith in his strength and that he'll return. His "friends" really aren't very supportive of him unless he's doing what they think is right, not what he thinks is right, and that's very sad... |

Yeah, but isn't it worst to let a friend do something stupid, that will probably get him getting killed or hate himself? If your friend want to suicide himself, will you be supportive or will you try to convince him not to do so? Every medal have two sides. Anyway, of course, this episode was melodramatic, but were you guys expecting something else after the last episode? Of course, they could have continued with Kenshin adventure, but that episode had to happen at one point or another. And I know most of you were annoyed by Kaoru behavior and I can understand why. Though, she clearly showed sign of minor depression. Not eating food for two days isn't just being a whining baby, it's really a serious symptom. You can't just talk some sense into someone who is deeply depressed ; it's like saying to anxious person to calm down, it's stupid and pointless. |

| Quite a depressing episode :| but well that was expected from last episode :/ Well let's see what's next. |

| Gotta love KaoruxKenshin |
 |
| I don't find this ep boring, at least not this time. There should be some struggling moments when a big twist happened in your life (a.k.a. someone important seemingly disappeared from your life) For Sano, it's the awareness of his lack of strength. And for Kaoru, it's the determination she needs to have. Also their going after Kenshin will not only richen the plot but also become Kenshin's spiritual support in the future fights. |
 |
| It's so stupid that they're all going after him when they can't even protect themselves... His friends will make everything harder for him. |
 |
| This episode was so annoying. Kenshin is a grown man with a heavy past, his goal in life is to atone for his sins and the best way he could do that is by defeating Shishio. Why does everyone think they need/can stop him? It's actually a hindrance to Kenshin if kaoru or yahiko go after him since they're super weak, obviously Shishio would annihilate them to antagonise Kenshin so why don't they use their brains and think before acting? Why do they instantly think Kenshin will just get himself killed? If he's given room to train and better himself (which he can't do with Kaoru around because she's a pain in the ass) he'll do just fine. Some may say this what good friends and family do, I say it's what brainless people do lol I do really appreciate the way Megumi "cheered up" Kaoru though, by saying harsh truths that no one else would have the guts to say. |

| Soap opera mopey land and so drawn out. That goes for Kaoru along with Sano's weird kind of dumb fight with Saito. The end had some cool musick, but this episode was just way too drawn out. |
| This episode was emotional, but I would like to see more Seta |
| Kaoru going to Kyoto is just going to be her getting in the way of Kenshin and being a burden that needs protection at all times... |
 |
"SO WHAT IF I AM????" |
 |
| Dang... I used to watch this episode when I was a kid and didn't think too much of Kaoru's and everyone's emotions; I can understand now how crestfallen/depressed she must've felt and how angry or disappointed others have felt, respectively. It's going to be challenging trying to get Kenshin back. I can understand that Kaoru doesn't want Kenshin to be Batosai the Manslayer again, but her being in the way will only hinder him and possibly danger him and everyone close to him. But at the same time, I can see why her stopping Kenshin from becoming his old self will help him in the long run 'cause like Yahiko said, only Kaoru can do that. |
| i think a lot happened this episode for character development. maybe it wasn't the most exciting but a lot actually happened. |
