THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
That was quite possibly the worst display of marksmanship I've ever witnessed. He was like 2 yards away and they still couldn't hit him. How does that make swordsmanship stronger if the guns pretty much don't exist?

Let's see what happens to dumb ass Yutaro.

~Poor Yutaro witnessing all that bloodshed :(

Too bad the rest of the episode wasn't nearly as good as the first 5 minutes.

That rich kid is soo dumb, they try to kill Kenshin, kid almost drowns, Kenshin saves him, kid still wants to go back for more. Old timey guns never worked to well anyway, musket balls sucked.

''Our swords are stronger than their guns!''
Ah, I'm pretty sure that's what the samurais said before they fell... :|

Anyway, those militaries have the accuracy of unprogrammed bots. Really, that was... a SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!!

Yahiko beating the crap out of the kid was soooo satisfying :D

It was because of his stance, obviously

The episode went pretty much as I expected except Yutaro is really not a wise kid.

This episode disproved that guns can always beat swordsmen

Yutarou: "Ill defeat him in 3 days!"
"Is he serious?" Sanosuke is the best.

Yutaro is actually so dumb
He still wants Raijuta as his teacher even though he heard everything he said and was clearly being used. also Kenshin saved his life and Kaoru taught him swordsmanship....and still he wants Raijuta as his sensei.... wow

The filler shot with the moon in daylight was nice. That phenomenon doesn't get used often enough in fiction.

i always like it when karou's fighting style is the centerpiece. but i wish she would be in battles more. the early episodes she held her own against the red-shirt swordsmen while kenshin handled the boss fight.

also, why do the government dudes always come to kenshin for advice and never listen to him? lolsob

as for the aim of the police...i assumed it was some trickery from the bad guys, like illusion or something. but i guess i'm used to suspension of disbelief.
