Good job for Yahiko-chan. The ending was hilarious when Sano and Kenshin were trying to hide.

Aww, this one was awesome. X3 Made me like Yahiko more, before he was okay, now he's better IMO. But it was sooo cute, the whole he-likes-a-girl thing, just so adorable! (wish Kaoru and Kenshin would make some progress already LOL) And for some reason I felt proud of him, he's finally getting better, and getting in a REAL battle.

And LOL @ Sano and Kenshin's hiding. XD And cicada noises. This may be a new favorite episode of mine. -w-

Yahiko-chan, the pimp :)

Damn, that was a dangerous situation. To let a kid handle this, it was risky as fuck.
Kenshin and Sanosuke were like the big bro though. Hiding in the shadow to help their little bro :')

like everyone else I friggin lost it when Kenshin and Sanosuke pretended to be cicadas

Good to see an episode focusing on Yahiko. (and yeah I figured "little" was a replacement for "chan"... poor guy)

Didn't expect this ep to be more than Yahiko having a crush on a girl. Neither did I think Kenshin would like Yahiko to fight on his own.
I actually ended up liking this ep and learnt some strategies of 1 vs. n. Great!

This was a nice, light-hearted episode. Some stuff was weird, like Yahiko fighting a guy with a real sword with his training weapon. Pretty good overall though.

Cute, but a bit unrealistic for a kid to beat grown ass men.

Well, that was a bullshit fight, there's no way he could've won against those guys, but he did, somehow.

Three hundred years of one family being slaves for another family sounds like a nightmare of misery and torture. Actually sounds like it could be the premise for a horror/gore/exploitation film.

A fun standalone episode. Yahiko-chan got to be in his first fight, but it was with multiple men led by Mikio, a member of an important or rich house that has resorted to theft. He forced Tsubame, a young girl, to find out where the restaurant's money is kept. They went to steal it from the owner, and Yahiko stopped them with a little help from Kenshin and the others.

I really wonder if Tsubame will be seen from time to time, as Yahiko seemed to like her. But she kept calling him Yahiko-chan, which made him feel more like a little kid. This was a fun episode.
