That was fun, the tactics were interesting and actually made sense.

Also, stripey-arms looked cool with it.

And Sano is whooped around like the Z Fighters right before Goku shows up. The fights in this episode were so traditionally Shounen it kinda made them unexciting.

This leader guy seems cool, though. Not just his fighting style, but his motives... he's antagonistic, but he has some sense of respect. He's not the "rotten villain" type all the show's antagonists have been thus far. I'm more interested in seeing how he develops right now.

Which is the best use for Yahiko?

(A) Only student of dojo
(B) Young friend
(C) Fellow fighter
(D Weapon to throw at enemies

Sano's answer is (D).

Mmmm, since he seem to have something against Kenshin, maybe Aoshi was a ninja for the bakufu? Kenshin probably killed some of his men when he was in the Ishin Shishi.

Yahiko throwing is hilarious. I wanna try that too someday! :D

Some very funny moments, that edo guy hates Kenshin, he doesn't care about the opium.

So he's getting a beating this time! Pretty nice actually that they didn't OP him and directly win every fight, I like this bit of challenge! Let's see what's next.

Yahiko just kept being a bowling ball in this ep, lol.
Kenshin actually got beaten. Didn't see that coming.

Han'nya was really cool. I actually didn't like how Sanosuke threw Yahiko into the crowd; I feel like this show has a little too much screwball comedy randomly thrown into scenes. It wasn't the end of the world or anything though either.

Both the Leader and his underling are pretty cool, nice to see that this show has actual nice characters. The fight against the masked-guy was nice, and the fight at the end was nice too, however, the outcome of it seems to have been decided already.

So, unlike the manga, they didn't show Hannya's full face reveal and it wasn't even said that he burnt and cut all the parts of his face to become unrecognizable and to be more convenient to spy. Seems like the anime is much more censored and simplified.

Oh yeah, Aoshi is another character I knew prior to watching, but I had no idea he was a part of Rurouni Kenshin. He's really cool so far.

This episode is completely action oriented. It's all battle with little in the way of humour. But it appears Kenshin may have met his match in this episode. What I find interesting is that Kaoru and Yahiko are coming along to fight, and they're doing fine against the lower ranked henchmen. Enjoyable episode!
