00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,480
KAMIYA KASSHIN-RYU

2
00:00:06,650 --> 00:00:08,480
It's been once week now.

3
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:12,070
The crossroad killings case
has been resolved, too.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,740
But none of my students have returned!

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:17,870
Agh! It's so irritating!

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,870
We are in an era of enlightenment,
that we are.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Once you leave, it's quite
difficult to return, that it is.

8
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:26,790
And speaking of irritating...

9
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:27,960
your age, Kenshin!

10
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:31,050
You look like that,
but you're 28 years old?

11
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:32,670
That's a lie! A con job!

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,470
That's way too young
to be a previous Imperialist, too!

13
00:00:36,550 --> 00:00:39,180
Then would it be all right
if I was over 30, would it?

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,680
I don't want that, either.

15
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:44,980
You are so selfish, that you are.

16
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:19,990
TOKYO SAMURAI -
YAHIKO MYOJIN

17
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:24,620
But, well, there's no use in fretting.

18
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,580
The students will come back in due time,
that they will.

19
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
But even to practice, there's nobody here.

20
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,670
That's why I have to head out

21
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:34,840
to an acquaintance's dojo like this
to practice!

22
00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:37,460
Because you won't even look my way!

23
00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:40,970
Oh, no, I just can't
get used to bamboo swords.

24
00:02:42,260 --> 00:02:43,100
Oro?

25
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Wait up!

26
00:02:45,260 --> 00:02:47,100
Kenshin, this kid is a pickpocket!

27
00:02:47,390 --> 00:02:49,390
This is your wallet, isn't it?

28
00:02:49,390 --> 00:02:51,480
Damn it! Let me go, you ugly hag!

29
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,310
Ug—

30
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:56,360
How rude! People around here
call me the swordsmanship sweetheart!

31
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,690
Shut up, ugly hag!

32
00:02:57,690 --> 00:02:59,400
- There, there.
- You've said it again!

33
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,070
Nothing I can do about it
if I was pickpocketed, that I can't.

34
00:02:59,450 --> 00:03:01,490
- It's the truth, ain't it?
- What?

35
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,530
Kiddo, don't get caught next time.

36
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:07,830
Now, let's be on our way, that we should.

37
00:03:08,370 --> 00:03:09,750
Hold it. Wait, Kenshin!

38
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:17,590
Oro!

39
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,800
I ain't no kid!

40
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,180
I'm a descendant of a Tokyo samurai,
Yahiko Myojin!

41
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,180
I haven't sunk so low
as to be pitied by others!

42
00:03:25,470 --> 00:03:27,180
I simply pulled a prank on you

43
00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:30,140
'cause you've got the nerve
to be wearing a sword!

44
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,850
Don't get me wrong, you punk!

45
00:03:35,610 --> 00:03:36,770
Kiddo...

46
00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:38,440
I told ya, I ain't no kid!

47
00:03:39,490 --> 00:03:42,450
You still have the guise of a child,

48
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:44,820
but your heart can stand its own ground,
that it can.

49
00:03:46,030 --> 00:03:48,790
Apologies. I had underestimated you.

50
00:03:54,460 --> 00:03:56,710
What a cheeky one!

51
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:18,690
Tokyo really is a rowdy place, that it is.

52
00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:22,150
Kenshin, where were you
before you came here?

53
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,530
Well, I was randomly here and there.

54
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:26,120
I am a rurouni after all, that I am.

55
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:30,370
I wonder why he spends his days
as a rurouni?

56
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:37,080
Most Imperialists have
long since abandoned their swords

57
00:04:37,460 --> 00:04:40,460
and have taken on honorable duties
with the Meiji government,

58
00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:42,510
abusing their authority.

59
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:46,590
You look like you want to ask a question,
that it does.

60
00:04:46,590 --> 00:04:47,510
Huh?

61
00:04:49,930 --> 00:04:50,970
It's all right.

62
00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:53,890
It's not surprising for anyone
to have one or two tales of the past

63
00:04:53,890 --> 00:04:55,690
that they don't want to tell anyone about.

64
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,940
It's nothing, really!

65
00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:01,360
Anyway, that sword!

66
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,240
I told you to hide it with something!

67
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,110
Now, now. As recent as two years ago,
many carried swords, you know.

68
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:10,950
See? Nobody really seems to care,
that they don't.

69
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:13,200
But someone just meddled with you!

70
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,250
There are a lot
of police officers in town, too.

71
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:18,000
Even if it's a sakabato,
they are sure to arrest you!

72
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,250
I'll deal with it if it comes to that,
that I will.

73
00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:22,340
Sheesh.

74
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:27,130
I'm going to head out for practice now.

75
00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:28,800
So, Kenshin, please go shopping for me.

76
00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:31,060
Get some miso, salt, and soy sauce.

77
00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:32,770
They're all so heavy.

78
00:05:32,770 --> 00:05:34,020
No complaints!

79
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:49,370
Sorry to ask from a carriage.

80
00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:53,950
Is this the right road
to go to the police station?

81
00:05:53,950 --> 00:05:55,910
O-Oh, yes.

82
00:05:56,410 --> 00:05:59,580
Head to the end of the street,
and turn right at the boulevard.

83
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:00,540
Thank you.

84
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,170
You heard her. Hurry over.

85
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,510
That was an amazing carriage.

86
00:06:07,930 --> 00:06:11,510
I haven't seen that face in this town.
Who was that?

87
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:10,050
I've never seen anything like it!

88
00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:11,510
Where is that rich guy from?

89
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:14,640
Really?

90
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:17,940
Are you really here in this town?

91
00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:20,900
Himura Battosai...

92
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:27,950
Hey, Yahiko.

93
00:06:27,950 --> 00:06:30,360
Your payment is due today.

94
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,620
You have it ready, don't you?

95
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,240
Not yet.

96
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,080
Huh?

97
00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:38,040
Shut up! You can't complain
if I get it ready by this evening—

98
00:06:40,370 --> 00:06:41,880
M-Mr. Gaskeh...

99
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,760
Don't you be mockin' me, you stupid brat.

100
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:54,930
Listen. When you bring me no money,
you're absolutely worthless.

101
00:06:56,930 --> 00:06:58,850
I'll drop by again in the evening.

102
00:06:58,850 --> 00:07:02,020
If you got no money then,
this won't be the end of it.

103
00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:06,440
Got that?

104
00:07:14,330 --> 00:07:16,410
It's a bit rowdy over there.

105
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:19,370
Hold on! Did something happen?

106
00:07:19,370 --> 00:07:20,710
An arrest!

107
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:23,830
A cop is chasing after someone
in violation of the Sword Abolishment Act!

108
00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:31,130
What a restless man!

109
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:32,890
Just give up, already!

110
00:07:32,890 --> 00:07:35,680
Hmm. They're really tenacious,
that they are.

111
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,390
That guy...

112
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:42,900
I have no choice.
I guess I will calmly be apprehended.

113
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:44,020
Out of the way!

114
00:07:44,770 --> 00:07:46,940
The Sword Bearing Police
can't get through!

115
00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:48,610
If you don't move, we'll cut you apart!

116
00:08:00,750 --> 00:08:02,710
L-Lieutenant Ujiki.

117
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:06,420
Good work.
Our squad will take care of the rest.

118
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,630
You guys can leave now.

119
00:08:08,630 --> 00:08:13,010
H-However, this man doesn't show
any intention of drawing his sword.

120
00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:15,260
And we have already surrounded him,
as you can see.

121
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:17,720
We don't need to trouble
the Sword Bearing Police—

122
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,180
A third-class officer dares
to have an opinion against me,

123
00:08:22,180 --> 00:08:24,690
a Satsuma Revolutionary warrior?

124
00:08:25,310 --> 00:08:27,520
When I say get lost,
hurry up, and get lost.

125
00:08:29,690 --> 00:08:32,650
How about you draw your sword, pansy?

126
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,950
Since you're carrying your sword
here in Tokyo,

127
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:38,120
you must be confident in your skills.

128
00:08:38,530 --> 00:08:41,910
I don't have a sword that I draw
anywhere and everywhere, that I don't.

129
00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:45,670
In the first place, I don't carry a sword

130
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:47,710
in order to brandish my strength,
that I don't.

131
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:51,380
Kenshin!

132
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,300
She's with you, right?

133
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:56,510
Miss Kaoru, stay away!

134
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,640
With the next strike, I will slash
her kimono apart and humiliate her.

135
00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:07,610
I will say it again.

136
00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:09,980
How about you draw your sword?

137
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,530
Are you...

138
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,240
really a police officer, you are?

139
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:16,280
Yeah.

140
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:19,950
With permission to carry a sword,
I can legally slay men.

141
00:09:20,450 --> 00:09:22,200
I'm with the Sword Bearing Police.

142
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,870
Don't push your luck
just 'cause you're a government official!

143
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:26,000
So oppressive!

144
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,170
Enough of that, you thug!

145
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:31,920
What nerve for you to insult me.

146
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,130
Apply the crime
of resisting a government official.

147
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:36,340
Arrest every last one of them.

148
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:37,760
Authorizing usage of swords!

149
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,220
Don't worry about those that resist.

150
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:42,060
Slay them.

151
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,690
Against Miss Kaoru...

152
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:52,650
or the townsfolk...

153
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,650
not an inch of that blade will touch them!

154
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:59,950
If you want an opponent,
I will take you on.

155
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,660
You finally fell
for the provocation, pansy.

156
00:10:05,370 --> 00:10:08,040
That sakabato is quite a strange blade...

157
00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:10,630
but now I can kill
in the name of self-defense.

158
00:10:13,710 --> 00:10:19,510
A swordsman needs to slay a man
every so often to keep his senses sharp.

159
00:10:24,430 --> 00:10:25,350
Kenshin!

160
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:30,020
RUROUNI KENSHIN

161
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:34,480
CHIEF'S OFFICE

162
00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:33,610
I see. So it was a fake.

163
00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:34,480
Yes.

164
00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:37,950
I was busy with the aftermath
of the Seinan War,

165
00:10:37,950 --> 00:10:40,660
and I couldn't
drop by like this until today.

166
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:43,860
But if I had given it some thought,
I should have been able to figure it out.

167
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:47,120
Himura is a man
that never wielded such an evil sword.

168
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,670
Indeed, he has slain enough people
to be called Hitokiri Battosai.

169
00:10:53,250 --> 00:10:57,340
But not once did he slay a man
for his own self-interests.

170
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,760
It was all for Meiji, the new era.

171
00:11:01,180 --> 00:11:05,430
A hero who saved the lives of many
Revolutionary warriors with his sword.

172
00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:09,850
Without him, the revolution
would never have succeeded.

173
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,190
I wanted to find and welcome him

174
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:19,400
as a high-ranking officer
of our Imperial Ground Troops.

175
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,820
About that, actually,
the perpetrators were dropped off...

176
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,160
in front of the station
early in the morning,

177
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,790
so we still have no idea
who apprehended them.

178
00:11:29,370 --> 00:11:32,580
But upon inquiry, those guys mentioned
that "the real deal got us."

179
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:33,790
What?

180
00:11:33,790 --> 00:11:37,340
Well, I'm sure it's nonsense
from untrustworthy bandits.

181
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,300
We have a problem, Chief!

182
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:43,470
You idiot! I have a guest here!
Knock before entering, at the least!

183
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,470
I'm terribly sorry!
However, the Sword Bearing Police...

184
00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:50,390
Ujiki caused yet another scene, did he?

185
00:11:50,890 --> 00:11:54,020
Sword Bearing Police?
I've never heard of them.

186
00:11:54,270 --> 00:11:57,440
Yes. It's a squad created
through orders from the head office

187
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,240
to deal with the current incident.

188
00:12:00,610 --> 00:12:02,450
But they are all ruffians,

189
00:12:02,450 --> 00:12:05,410
and their captain
is from Satsuma and is...

190
00:12:05,950 --> 00:12:07,990
well, an Imperialist.

191
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:09,700
He's a bit too much for me to handle...

192
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,750
Imperialists were generally categorized
into five groups

193
00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:15,540
based on where they were born...

194
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:23,970
TOSA

195
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:23,970
HIZEN

196
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:23,970
SATSUMA

197
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:23,970
CHOSHU

198
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,460
Satsuma, Choshu, Tosa, Hizen,

199
00:12:19,460 --> 00:12:21,840
and others, such as Mito and Fukuoka.

200
00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:23,970
Among them, Satsuma and Choshu

201
00:12:23,970 --> 00:12:27,680
long served as two great factions
of the Meiji government.

202
00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:30,890
At this time,
Satsuma's authority in the police

203
00:12:30,890 --> 00:12:35,440
and Choshu's authority in the military
were absolute.

204
00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:40,650
I see. Someone from Satsuma
that is a Revolutionary warrior.

205
00:12:40,650 --> 00:12:42,440
You can't do anything about his impudence.

206
00:12:43,650 --> 00:12:46,240
So, what did he do this time?

207
00:12:46,740 --> 00:12:48,740
Oh... actually, um...

208
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:53,080
he's been defeated.
Just by one swordsman, even.

209
00:12:53,370 --> 00:12:55,080
What? Impossible!

210
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,040
The Sword Bearing Police
are the elites of this station!

211
00:12:58,250 --> 00:12:59,840
But that's the truth.

212
00:13:00,340 --> 00:13:02,170
I don't believe it.

213
00:13:02,170 --> 00:13:04,510
Who in the world is this man?

214
00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:05,760
I don't know.

215
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:10,350
He was a soft-looking fellow,
short and thin, with red hair...

216
00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:14,350
and his swordsmanship was lightning quick.

217
00:13:14,940 --> 00:13:17,400
That's right, if I recall correctly,

218
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,520
he had a huge cross-shaped scar
on his left cheek!

219
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:22,320
It can't be...

220
00:13:25,570 --> 00:13:27,450
H-He's strong.

221
00:13:28,780 --> 00:13:32,080
Damn you. We were going easy on you,
as you were outnumbered.

222
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,540
Don't get conceited!

223
00:13:33,870 --> 00:13:35,920
Here comes Sekirei Itto-ryu!

224
00:13:36,250 --> 00:13:38,420
Eat my Yajyu Shishikage-ryu!

225
00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:40,590
Brace for Shindou Kinen-ryu!

226
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:52,810
One left.

227
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:54,980
One more! Get him!

228
00:13:54,980 --> 00:13:57,810
What was that about Sword Bearing Police?
Beat 'em up!

229
00:13:58,060 --> 00:14:02,900
Swear to the townsfolk that you won't
be oppressive to them, that you will...

230
00:14:03,570 --> 00:14:05,490
and things end right there.

231
00:14:06,070 --> 00:14:08,740
Afterwards, you can arrest me as you wish.

232
00:14:08,950 --> 00:14:12,200
Give me a break!
I can't do something so pathetic!

233
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,200
That stance...

234
00:14:15,410 --> 00:14:17,160
the most powerful sword in Satsuma,
Jigen-ryu,

235
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,710
known for not needing a second strike!

236
00:14:19,210 --> 00:14:20,080
Stop it, Ujiki.

237
00:14:20,330 --> 00:14:21,630
That man is—

238
00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:23,460
A foolish man.

239
00:14:23,460 --> 00:14:26,380
Indeed, Jigen-ryu is a powerful sword
with no parallel.

240
00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:28,430
Chesto!

241
00:14:28,430 --> 00:14:29,260
However...

242
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,220
facing Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu,
it is all but meaningless.

243
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:44,110
Kenshin!

244
00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:46,280
Are you not hurt, that you are?

245
00:14:46,740 --> 00:14:48,740
- Oro?
- That was amazing, man!

246
00:14:48,740 --> 00:14:50,240
Hey, where are you from, swordsman?

247
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,700
Have a drink with us!

248
00:14:53,950 --> 00:14:54,870
Himura!

249
00:14:56,950 --> 00:14:58,960
I am finally able to meet you.

250
00:14:59,540 --> 00:15:01,420
I've been looking for you
for 10 years now.

251
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,210
So you decided to grow a mustache,
Mr. Yamagata.

252
00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:08,470
Huh? Yamagata? Can he be...

253
00:15:08,510 --> 00:15:10,630
the general of the Kiheitai,

254
00:15:10,630 --> 00:15:12,390
the most powerful army
of the revolution,

255
00:15:12,390 --> 00:15:14,760
and the current army general
of the Meiji government.

256
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,430
Imperialist Aritomo Yamagata!

257
00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:20,440
Chief, clear the area.

258
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,270
Yes, sir!

259
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,020
Come on! Shoo! Shoo!

260
00:15:23,020 --> 00:15:24,900
What? You're being oppressive!

261
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:26,230
Later, mister!

262
00:15:26,530 --> 00:15:28,690
I have a carriage waiting over there.

263
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,660
Many Revolutionary warriors
are eagerly awaiting your return.

264
00:15:34,990 --> 00:15:35,830
Now...

265
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:42,040
I'm sorry, but...

266
00:15:43,130 --> 00:15:47,550
I have no intent on serving honorably
as someone who slays other people.

267
00:15:48,460 --> 00:15:50,880
What are you saying?
Even though you killed,

268
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,680
that was a splendid piece
of the great Revolution!

269
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:57,390
Indeed, some do show disdain
and call you a manslayer!

270
00:15:57,390 --> 00:15:59,100
And those that do, I will personally—

271
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,390
Force them to yield
as a government official.

272
00:16:02,730 --> 00:16:07,650
Egotism of that nature is what lets
guys like that do whatever they want.

273
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,280
It wasn't for honorable duty
as a government official or for power.

274
00:16:11,650 --> 00:16:14,620
We took our swords and fought

275
00:16:14,620 --> 00:16:18,330
to create and protect a world
where people can live happily.

276
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:24,710
If you forget that, Mr. Yamagata,
we are nothing more than simple upstarts.

277
00:16:30,970 --> 00:16:32,260
But, Himura!

278
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:34,220
Times have changed!

279
00:16:34,220 --> 00:16:35,970
We are in a new era, Meiji!

280
00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:39,180
The Sword Abolishment Act is in effect,
and the samurai have perished!

281
00:16:39,180 --> 00:16:42,350
This is different from the Bakumatsu Era,
where swords spoke the loudest!

282
00:16:42,350 --> 00:16:46,440
Without the power of government officials
in this Meiji Era,

283
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,440
you can't do anything with just one sword!

284
00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:53,110
Even with just one sword...

285
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:01,330
at least I can somehow protect those
that catch my eye, that I can.

286
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,750
I have never changed, past or present,
that I haven't.

287
00:17:06,580 --> 00:17:10,090
Outside of a Hitokiri
turning into a rurouni.

288
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,470
Chief...

289
00:17:18,970 --> 00:17:22,390
I know. One look
at the reaction from the townsfolk

290
00:17:22,390 --> 00:17:24,850
makes it obvious who was in the wrong.

291
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,400
And his sword is even safer
than those sword-canes.

292
00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:30,190
I will overlook this case.

293
00:17:30,690 --> 00:17:31,820
Apologies.

294
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:35,030
However, with the imposter case and all,

295
00:17:35,030 --> 00:17:36,360
I had been under the assumption

296
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:39,780
that Hitokiri Battosai was
an evil, dangerous individual.

297
00:17:41,410 --> 00:17:44,250
But the real one
indeed is a lot different.

298
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,710
I'm sorry, Miss Kaoru, that I am.

299
00:17:49,710 --> 00:17:50,750
About what?

300
00:17:51,090 --> 00:17:52,340
About the ribbon, that is.

301
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,380
It got ruined because of me.

302
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,970
It's fine. As long as you work hard
on your chores in return.

303
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,560
For starters, you can go shopping.

304
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,180
You haven't gone yet after all, right?

305
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,900
And when you get back, you have to bring
all the dried laundry back inside.

306
00:18:13,820 --> 00:18:18,530
I think I understood just a little bit
on why Kenshin is a rurouni.

307
00:18:20,370 --> 00:18:25,290
To be unhindered by anything and
to freely protect people with his sword,

308
00:18:26,250 --> 00:18:28,710
he lives with the flow.

309
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:30,880
That's why he's a wanderer.

310
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,140
You still have the guise of a child,

311
00:18:42,140 --> 00:18:44,600
but your heart can stand its own ground,
that it can.

312
00:18:44,930 --> 00:18:46,180
Against Miss Kaoru...

313
00:18:46,810 --> 00:18:47,850
or the townsfolk...

314
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,020
not an inch of that blade will touch them!

315
00:18:51,690 --> 00:18:54,690
If you want an opponent,
I will take you on.

316
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:57,070
Damn it.

317
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,750
When you bring me no money,
you're absolutely worthless.

318
00:19:15,710 --> 00:19:18,170
KAMIYA KASSHIN
SCHOOL OF KENDO

319
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,170
I'm home, that I am.

320
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,390
That kiddo.

321
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:33,060
I ain't no kid!

322
00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:35,610
I'm a descendant of a Tokyo samurai,
Yahiko Myojin!

323
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:39,360
I haven't sunk so low
as to be pitied by others!

324
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,700
If times hadn't changed,

325
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,160
he would have been
one fine samurai when he grew up.

326
00:20:15,730 --> 00:20:16,570
Damn it.

327
00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:18,650
Yahiko.

328
00:20:20,110 --> 00:20:25,070
It's evening now.
Come on, cough up this month's payment.

329
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,030
- I don't have it.
- Huh?

330
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,870
I'm done being a pickpocket.

331
00:20:28,870 --> 00:20:31,040
I'm gonna cut all ties
with you yakuza folk, too.

332
00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:33,120
Huh? What are you talking abo—

333
00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:50,220
What do you mean by that?

334
00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:54,190
I don't mean anything else.

335
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,280
I just got sick of something
so miserable as pickpocketing.

336
00:21:04,570 --> 00:21:07,320
I don't like you. You're too cheeky.

337
00:21:07,660 --> 00:21:09,330
This is as good an opportunity as any.

338
00:21:09,740 --> 00:21:13,750
I'll take my time and
show you just who is the master here.

339
00:22:45,050 --> 00:22:50,050
KASSHIN-RYU - REBORN

340
00:22:46,050 --> 00:22:49,010
Next episode: "Kasshin-ryu - Reborn."
