Yet again Kenshin has changed somebody's life forever.

So I'm guessing that Shishio has super-human strength? He just crushed that sword with his hand.

Yeah, i was impressed with that part too. To simply crush wakizashi like that, his arms must be like harder than steel xD

i was even more stunned when he cut a man into two lengthwise.

Kenshin's sword, and words (yet another meaningful quote) finally cleared Soujiro's mind. He is going off on his own journey now to find the answers to his life. It was cool how his parting gift was the tip about Kenshin's foot in the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki to Shishio. Also to see him finally shedding tears after so many years... man.

So Shishio is finally ready and waiting in the stadium. It's time for the final battle of the war. Saito and Aoshi are headed there as they speak too.

This should be a good place to take a breather, and prepare for what's to come!

I don't understand why Soujiro conceded that Kenshin is right and Shishio wrong, then left Shishio such a valuable piece of information as a "parting gift." If he finally realized Kenshin's lifestyle is the proper one, why do such a thing?

I don't get what Saitou has to gain from splitting off into his own "group" either. Maybe I missed something.

Just agreeing with all of this, instead of retyping. XD

I totally wasn't crying when Soujiro was. Nope. (LIES) GOSH, I love him.... will they ever show him again after this?? ;-;

Kenshin literally saved him from the depth of solitude that Shisho put him in, beautiful episode.

It was a good episode but all the pointless talking during the fight by the bystanders was annoying. We are finally headed toward the finale of this arc.
