Why are you still here?

Go to the village and ask for help.

Don't tell me, all these graves...

Those bandits I killed...

Where did you take their bodies?

Why did you even bother to bury them?

Everyone here is the same

as the other. Dead.

Kid, what is your name?

Shinta.

Too soft for a Swordsman.

From now on, your name would be Kenshin.

And I will teach you my sword style.

This place...

Kenshin!

Battousai!

Don't tell me, that this all what

the legendary Battousai can do?

Kaoru-dono...

So you've finally woken up.

Master...

Long time no see, My stupid apprentice.

Why am I here?

After the storm,

I went out to find some driftwood.

I didn't think I would find you.

Was there someone with me?

Only you and that weird sword.

What's wrong? Are you

expecting someone else?

Where did you find me?

I have to go back there!

Don't even bother.

You were out cold for three days.

Floating on sea for three days,

Nobody could have survived that.

Three days...

What's with that expression? You haven't

changed since the last time we met.

You and your habit of bearing

all the burdens of this country.

I had a dream.

I saw you in my dream.

I kept on digging graves.

Burying the dead.

Kept on digging...

Master... I have request.

Please teach me the final

techniques of Hiten Mitsurugi.

What did you say?

There is someone I have to stop.

Shishio Makoto followed my trail as an

assassin and planned to rule this country.

If he succeeds, people will suffer.

I am the only one who could stop Shishio!

And there is little time left.

I beg of you!

Alright.

Let me hear your story then.

My stupid apprentice. What have you

been doing these past fifteen years?

Using that weird sword...

Show me what you can do with it.

Today was not bad.

What?

What's wrong?

You guys don't hear that?

What is it?

That sound, don't you hear it?

What is that?

- We've got trouble!

- What's wrong?

There is a black ship!

What are you talking about?

What black ship?

Are you day-dreaming?

Check it for yourself!

The ship is like a monster!

What is that ship targetting?

Is there further movement?

- Hurry up and send soldiers and watch the surroundings.

- Yes sir!

So Shishio has arrived.

Finally, after twenty-five years,

fear is back to this country.

Ruling by fear,

is more effective than ruling by truth.

Hoji!

Start the preparations.

Understood!

We will be attacking soon!

We will be attacking!

Stop it!

Now is not the time to drink.

Kenshin, Kaoru, Aren't

you worried for them?

- You think they're they gone?

- That can't be.

This is unforgivable!

Shinomori Aoshi.

That man.

Has become an enemy we have to kill!

What's wrong, Is that all you've got?

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu

is an independent style.

Used to protect weak people.

And not for any other reasons.

But you forgot and instead,

used it for the Shogunate.

Was it your ego?

Or ambition?

None of those!

I have to learn it to wipe out

the sorrow in this country!

Who is he?

He said, few days ago he saw man with

scar on his cheek, lying on the beach.

Is that true?

How stubborn he is.

Where is that man?

Tell me!

Enough, Hoji.

That is a good thing.

It is even more interesting

than ruling this country.

Shishio-sama!

, what is? What is it?

Do not show weakness!

- Lets go!

- Yes sir!

We have been waiting for you!

Home Affairs Minister "Ito Hirobumi",

It is an honor.

Please.

It tastes good.

Have you tried this English food?

Don't worry. It's not poisoned.

You also "served" during the Bakumatsu era,

right?

How many you have killed?

For you to have the position like now,

How many you have murdered?

Dammit!

How dare you!

What are you doing?

It seems there had been

a misunderstanding here.

Sit down!

I said, take your seat!

Abe! Please report that he died

because of disease on the way here!

You act fast.

A cruel crime like that,

surely will be punished by the government.

That is called justice!

Was there justice for me at that time?

This conversation is senseless.

So thats it?

Thanks to that "justice",

I am not able to sweat anymore.

My body feels so hot,

I almost feel like dying.

It feels like being in hell.

Living like this...

Is hell itself.

You understand this, don't you?

It was you who created us.

- "Us"?

- Me and Battousai the Slasher.

If you still value your life,

then go find him.

Then, sentence him to death.

What did you say?

This government has lied to people by

covering all the murders he did back then!

Is that forgivable?

Otherwise, I will destroy your government.

Citizens! Battousai the assassin has become

the police fugitive, his name is Himura Kenshin!

If you see him,

please contact nearest police!

He is often seen wearing red cloth

and there is cross scar in the cheek.

He will be punished because

has killed so many people!

If you see him,

please contact nearest police!

- You have returned.

- What is this?

That is Shishio's order.

We cant do anything.

Shishio's order?

He too was an assassin right?

Shishio also killed so many in Meiji era,

he should have been the one persecuted.

But Shishio threatens to

destroy this government!

We can not just refuse it.

About Himura...

the police will not find him easily.

Meanwhile, we collect information about

the ship and prepare weapons for defense.

I will not bring in Battousai!

What do you mean?

It seems this government

has forgotten the real hero.

What the f***?

Hey, if he is a fugitive,

it means he is not dead yet.

Himura... is still alive?

Right!

They are still alive.

He must went to Kaoru's place.

But why he is charged with

murders in the Bakumatsu era?

- No time to waste, Yahiko lets go!

- Where?

Tokyo!

To Kamiya Dojo of course!

Besides, he's got nowhere to go but there.

Lets go!

- Execuse me!

- Yes!

What is it?

This belongs to this inn right?

Dont move.

Hey!

Kaoru!

Don't make noise in the hospital.

Sorry...

- Kaoru.

- Are you her relatives?

Yes, kinda.

Someone found her, and took her in.

Kaoru.

Kaoru, how are you doing?

Things have gotten worse!

We have promised to protect

each other right?

I told you so many times.

The sword is just a tool.

Sword styles are used for the killing part.

No matter how beautiful the blade is...

That remains the fact.

Stop with your nonsense...

And face the truth.

You said you want to protect people,

but instead you could do nothing.

Kaoru-dono.

You are still the same like the

kid who can only dig graves.

With your current ability...

how could you manage to finish the style?

Prove it to me with your stupid sword!

Be like then when you were a boy.

Even if you were beaten to a pulp,

you kept rising up.

Misao.

Grandpa.

Thank god!

Aoshi... where is he?

Is Kyoto alright?

Yes. But, Himura...

Is that so.

If Himura is still alive...

There's only one place he would come to!

Why don't you take a sip?

I made the sake myself.

Thank you.

Why do pottery?

I don't know...

Speaking of which...
