Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends Page #2

I made it just for myself.

To me drinking sake, is really a fun thing.

That's it.

Is that so.

It reminds me to a saying...

In spring, Sakura flowers blossom.

In Summer, the stars appear.

In Fall, the full moon shows and in Winter,

the snow falls.

Just by seeing it,

the sake tastes really good.

If it doesn't taste good, then...

There must be something wrong in you.

I want to ask you...

About scar on your face.

During the Bakumatsu, there was

somebody called Battousai the Slasher.

The scar shows his cruelty.

It didn't sound like "You" how I once knew.

When I was on carrying out an order...

I got this scar.

In my mind, there was only killing.

I will not kill again, ever.

So thats why...

You have that weird sword.

Is your opponent right now

really that formidable?

Right now I can't even

beat Shishio's underling.

The strong lives, the weak dies.

Reality, plain and simple.

I will beat him,

even if I have to sacrifice my life.

Fool.

Then you are prepared to die here?

I will give you time.

You have to find out what's wrong with you.

Figure it out with that stupid

head of yours.

If you still don't know...

You'll die here.

What is wrong with me...

You didn't sleep last night?

So?

Have you figured

out what is wrong with you?

Not yet.

Now that is your problem.

Figure out what is wrong with you,

by fighting me as your enemy.

If you can beat me with that blade...

But if you can't, It means that you are still

afraid of that slasher instinct in your heart.

You are afraid that you will live in

suffering, sadness, and loneliness...

If you kill again.

Well then...

Will I be able to help the

monster Battousai the Slasher...

To put and end to

Shishio once and for all?

I am trembling.

Am I afraid of my master, Hiko Seijuro?

No. Am I afraid of death itself?

No, that's not it.

During the Bakumatsu war,

I was always prepared to die.

Even if it costs my life...

I will finish the technique!

Not yet!

I can't die yet!

Finally, you've come to realize it.

You took so many lives during

the battle as a slasher...

And because of that regret, you think

to yourself that your life is worthless.

And to overcome that,

you must learn to control your feelings.

You need the willingness to live on.

Willingness to live...

You've become weaker because you've spent

most of your life protecting helpless people.

To the point where you

don't understand your own.

Your life is as worth

as other people's lives.

When you realize that...

You will be able to finish the technique.

My life...

Your life doesn't belong to your own.

You understand?

C'mon. Let's continue.

What's for lunch today?

- What's wrong with you? Here, drink.

- Shut up! Drink it yourself.

What's wrong?

Piss off!

Kaoru!

Yahiko!

- You need to stay alive!

- Kaoru-dono!

Kaoru!

Hey, found you!

- Kaoru!

- Hey.

- You made us worried.

- You fool!

I am so worried about you. Are you okay?

I'm waiting for Kenshin.

Is that so?

Kenshin? Where is he?

Kenshin!

Kenshin!

Stupid!

Thats not what she meant.

She is hoping for Kenshin's return.

Lets go!

- Where are we going?

- It's obvious, isn't it?

To Tokyo.

Kaoru.

Leaving already?

There is no time.

I have to stop Shishio as soon as possible.

Don't just rely on that technique.

You alone, bearing all the burden.

Just be careful in this Meiji era.

Understood.

Himura!

Himura!

Misao-dono.

- I was worried about you.

- Why are you here?

Nevermind that. Kaoru is alive!

A lot of things had happened.

Shishio is controlling the government...

They will arrest you.

Grandpa instructed me to go look for you.

Hurry up and leave.

Your willingness to live...

Is the most important of all.

Promise me, Kenshin.

You won't waste your life.

Yes.

Master.

Thank you for looking after me.

Don't die.

The government had made you a fugitive.

If you get caught, you will be executed.

Himura-dono, I have a map to a secret

path which we used during the Edo era.

Please make use of it.

Thank you.

Misao-dono.

I would like to say goodbye to Okina-dono.

I understand.

Grandpa, Himura is back.

But he was just awake...

Is there something you're not telling me?

A secret path to the north used by Ninjas.

I myself would take this route.

Himura will pass this route...

You have thought about that, haven't you?

But Himura-kun has very important task,

that is to beat Shishio.

I will not let you stand in his way.

What can you do with that body?

You are trapped in the past.

I will free you from that!

Grandpa!

Elder!

Grandpa.

That cross-shaped scar...

You are indeed Battousai the Slasher.

Grandpa.

I have been waiting for ten

long years for this moment.

Leader of Oniwabanshu Watchers in Edo,

Shinomori Aoshi.

I will take the "Strongest" title from you!

C'mon, Battousai!

Right, this will become a fierce battle.

Himura-kun!

Kill Aoshi...

for Misao.

And for Aoshi himself.

- Grandpa!

- Right, kill me.

I'd like to see you try to kill me!

Make sure you kill him!

Shinomori Aoshi, have you realized

that you've hurt Misao-dono?

Why you are so cruel to her?

For the strongest title...

I can be even crueler than anybody!

I don't know you anymore!

- Don't interfere!

- Misao-dono!

Stand up, Battousai the Slasher.

You were the strongest

during the Bakumatsu era.

I have sacrificed

everything just to beat you.

Aoshi,

that deep hatred you got from the past...

I may not be able to understand it.

But not realizing what is

already in front of you,

Betraying people and even

raising your sword against them.

That is the reason why

you'll never beat me.

Aoshi-sama!

This isn't over yet!

I can still fight!

When you have realized what

is really precious to you...

And if you want the

"Strongest" title from me...

I will fight you anytime.

Miss!

The Elder...

Grandpa!

Okina-dono!

You must go now.

Now isn't the time to worry about us!

Don't forget the elder's request!

The future of Japan rests in your sword!

Himura, leave us...

Quickly!

GO!

If you want to take revenge, do it quickly.

I don't need your pity.

Your life...

Belongs to me now...

Belongs to grandpa...

And also to the others...

- Megumi-dono.

- Kenshin-San.

I was worried about you.

Thanks.

Did you meet Kaoru and Sanosuke?

Yes.

Thank goodness.

Stay and hide here first,

I will make you tea.

I am in a hurry.

I have to stop Shishio now.

I understand.

But, listen.

Even if you are badly hurt,

please return alive.

I am doctor.

If you're dead,

I wont be able to do anything.

But if you alive, I will surely treat you.

Before thinking of other people,

please think yourself first.

Just like what my master said.

What?

Please wait a moment.

Wear this.

The sword is just a tool for killing.

To help the helpless people,

is the motto of Kamiya Kashin-ryu.

It is not to kill.

But to help people.

I knew it, It fits you well.

Please take care Kaoru.

Arrest him!

Himura Battousai, Surrender now!
