| Misao did have a purpose after all. Given someone of Kenshin's personality, she did accept to help her to join in their journey. I love their chemistry already, kinda reminds me of Kenshin and Kaoru. Kaoru also takes care of Yahiko on their own trip. She's like an older sister to him and it's charming to watch. |

| I mean girl, those guys who you admire so much, were practically killed in front of this one guy you’re asking if he knows them or not, moreover Aoshi is out for his blood, so yeah, it isn’t just that he “knows” them. Though you know, Kenshin a good guy and he actually didn’t want to hurt her by letting her know the truth, so man did every logical thing there was, but yeah, in front of anime girls who just scream for the sake of it, of course logical things ain’t gonna work. There is still some decent enough time til all of them reunite, so yeah, don’t really mind seeing Kenshin and Misao being the central duo for the time being as I mean she has an important role to play later on, though Kenshin should stop acting like her legal guardian lol. Anyway, finally we saw what Shishio and his men are actually capable of pulling, we saw a bit last season too but nah, the stuff with this village is messed up. Will be a good couple of episode till this mini arc would last. |

| Kenshin dodges Misao's questions about the Oniwabanshu, knowing the truth would break her, especially after all the stories she has to tell of them. Sanosuke goes to Kyoto on foot but Kaoru and Yahiko will get there quicker by ship. With what Saitou said about Sanosuke being a liability to Kenshin because he'll stray from the mission if he has someone to save, he sees that Kenshin is off fighting in Shingetsu Village with Misao and Eiji, (the scenes were very brutal in the Kyoto Inferno movie), avoiding Shishio terrible reign over the village, the government has given up on sending cops, leaving it off the map. Shishio is nearby though so it's not deviating from the mission that much. btw: Eiji's VA is Shouya Chiba (Shin in 86) The sky through the tree leaves shots were very nice to look at. |

| Hajime's kill at the end there was so sick, the way it was drawn looked pretty gruesome for a couple seconds there and the timing of it was impactful to say the least. This season's been off to a good start (helped by very good source material of course). I continue to enjoy the dynamics that Misao and Kenshin have throughout this journey in the start of the Kyoto arc. Plus, it is already clearly visible what threat Shishio is to people like the Shingestu village as shown in the episode and how bodies were left hanging and dripping with blood and Eiji's brother dying like that too. |
| The comical bits were a bit much, everything else was good. |
| If only Misao knew what her idols had got up to and why Kenshin had to fight them.. all things considered I’m surprised she and Ken got on a good basis so quickly lol. For now, Senkaku and his iron rule over the village are the priorities and I can’t wait to see him pay for the crimes he’s done to those innocent people. It’s rare to see Kenshin straight up say no one’s getting out of this without getting their ass beat. |
 |
| So now Misao is here to stay, just took her following Kenshin everywhere and failing a jump to earn it lol, but I’m glad she’s sticking around because she’s a lot of fun so far, cute too of course. It’s unfortunate Kenshin won’t tell her what happened to the Oniwaban Group tho, I get why he’s not but I feel like it’s gonna be bad if she finds out later from someone else, Aoshi is still kicking at least but that news will still hit very hard for her. And after discovering a dying lad and his younger brother Eiji, Kenshin is now roped into saving a village from a high ranking member of the Shishio Clan, Senkaku, and Lord Shishio himself is apparently in the village, maybe Kenshin doesn’t need to go to Kyoto after all lol. But these are some bad mfs, Kenshin letting everyone know that they’re catching these hands whether they want it or not was kinda badass, but it's not just Kenshin whoopin’ ass, Saito is here too, and based on his brutal kill on that one dude, the bad guys are better off taking on Kenshin lol. |
| misao is pretty fun. |
 |
| Saito has many clones, that's the only explanation. And Eiji sounds like he's 40 year old. |
 |

| @CaptainKenshiro Get used to it. |
| That scene at the massive drop Kenshin jumped was the most predictable scene I think I’ve ever scene in an anime. Not saying it was bad or anything. I literally said what would happen and it happened exactly as I said it |
Reply to Ronninn
so does saito like conveniently spawns everytime
| @Ronninn He is the omnipotent god of the Kenshin universe. Just likes fucking around to be honest. |
| Lol when you want to get someone to tell you something you insult them until they do. But for Misao persistance is part of her charm. Sano getting lost is part of his journey as well. At least Kaoru and Yahiko's journey was peaceful. With japan being so big of a nation protecting every village and town is impossible sadly. RIP the brothers parents though. Hmm with Saito here as well looks like the detour to the village is gonna be fun. |

| keeps getting better. god i love this show. that poor kid :[ |
 |
| I love the moments when Kenshin's power is revealed ! Thanks for the new season, I got again nice ritual of watching new episodes after evening trainings:) BTW, did we get sth like Oro face? Was missing it a bit in this adaptation :p |
   |
| Three episodes in and the amount of comedy is slowly surpassing the amount the entirety of S1 had. Weird considering Kyoto Saga is fairly more sober and serious than Tokyo. Still a very good episode tho. Really excited for what's to come now that they have reached the village. |
| This ninja girl is unbearable, I wish Kenshin would let her fall off the cliff. (-_-メ) |
 |
| This is cinema. Loved the entire ambientation of the episode with the fog on Shingetsu, and loved Misao again. He and Kenshin are friends now, liked the direction on their relationahip. Eiji appears, waiting for next one! |
 |
| So i guess Sanosuke is Zoro after all LMFAO Kenshin x Misao bonding episode. Kenshin is a good dude, of course he couldn't tell Misao what's going on with Oniwaban group. That Hajime kill at the end was so gruesome, looks really good. |
 |
| Nah this narrator is such a dub. Kenshin and Misao are on a classic adventure, while the rest are either lost (real emphasis on Sano xD), spaced out, or seasick, lol. But yeah, now it's time for the first encounter with Makoto, and Hajime is joining in |
 |
| This anime it's so peak it gives me chills. Absolute masterpiece. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| It would be heartripping to see his own parents dead just in front of his eyes. |
| A small village lost in the mountains, is the encounter with hatred and blood! kekeke |
| Ofc bro not letting Aoshi little lover get lost in the middle of his journey. Different with Sano which funnily lost there. While Yahiko and Kaoru even with their shortage still found their own trouble, especially with the boy. Oh don't forget with Megumi which worries but can't do anything about that. Poor woman xd. Aside of that, finally time to make a real challenge for Kenshin, finding out the direct subordinate of Shishio in the middle of the abandoned village. Really looking forward to see another greatness of Hitokiri Battosai slaying all those evil beings down.... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Misao really is clueless about what Aoshi's group did last season huh. She probably doesn't need to know. But her teasing him to provoke answers tho XD oh boy. I'm fairly sure the moments of Kenshin reflecting on what to do with her was actual 3D footage of trees, which doesn't look that bad. Just details that stick out to me. Apparently she also has the habit of not giving up, like Kenshin's friends. But Kenshin is built different, and she puts her life at risk to match that. Catching her in the ravine tho. And with that, he has a new follower (at a distance). Misao is doing work as the stand-in companion frfr XD he's sweet for thinking of her along their forest path. Rip to the village taken over by Shishio's men. The first trouble pit stop. Brutal to have the kid's family slashed up and hung in front of the village. They just wanted to live.. and they were left out hanging for em. |
  |
| So close to Shishio, but their clan just killed the whole village, poor kid seeing his brother dying and then both of his parents corpses... anyway Kenshin is at it and Hajime just appeared at the end |
 |
| Misao wanting to hear about the Oniwaban Group, but Kenshin doesn't give her the light of the day enough for her to persistently follow him being the only lead she has, he needs to get rid of her dead weight quick. But even after all of the affairs, Misao not willing to part with Kenshin to get back to the Oniwaban Group after the game of tag, Kenshin still allowing her to journey together with him is the only course of action. Everyone on their own ways, with both Kaoru and Yahiko going to Kyoto to see Kenshin again, it's the calm before the storm. Misao's many stories of Shinomori and the Oniwaban Group, as much as Kenshin is laying the ground for an easy walk in the vast forest, them noticing a wounded man of the verge of death in need of help saving the abandoned Shingetsu village from the Shishio Clan's Senkaku, for the 2 years since the clan took over that cops from the mainland have all but forgotten them (or rather, did not want to impede them), Kenshin would render all of his help while the young surviving son of Eiji needs Misao's taking care of. Witnessing the death of Shingetsu village only renders Kenshin able to go all out, as Hajime Saito comes to Misao's aid on the sidelines. This will be yet another brutal round of executions from Battosai himself. |
