| Glad Kenshin beats them in. Kenshin is a good boy. Protecting what people he can on his own instead of taking a government job. Yahiko is good boy too. Even if a bit of a brat at times. oh the ED's not too bad. |
 |
| Kenshin is amazing! |
| I felt nostalgic watching this anime! |
| Huh, so this is how Yahiko meets Kenshin (in the live-action, he's introduced at the dojo). Hopefully, the last pocket he picks. The popo overstepped and Kenshin put them in check. His fellow patriots want him to serve again after that display of swordsmanship but he declines. Times are changing, so are potential threats... |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Don't you get a feeling that in this remake, everything is given on a plate? Kenshin's identity, Kaoru's crush... |
   |
| Oh lol Himura caught on the incident with the police officer again over those triggered arrogant Dio person. Ofc he takes down him in one glance but still good to know more wise part of him when talking about the past. I wish Himura a good luck after the general found out his situation like that and let him be in peace with waifu. I mean, yes.... Well, Yahiko also getting introduced too with such a decent hype from me. So this is quite interesting me for the next part already. |

| another fantastic episode, so far my favorite of the season. yahiko is a great character and has some hella character development in the older shows, i'm really hyped for this. |
 |
| Man it feels so refreshing to see Kaori and Kenshin be so wholesome together in high quality with a very pretty art style. |

| My guy is a Public Hero. He'd rather wander the world than to be connected with egotistical bastards that make up the police. Can't wait for the little boy to be saved and to obviously be trained in the dojo. |

Still wish it took more liberties though Hey, you seem to have read the manga? I would like to watch this, but I personally just really don't like starting stories that have an bad/badly-written ending. And I saw on the wiki that The sequel manga also has a lot worse rating. Thanks, would appreciate an answer a lot. |

| Don't have any complaints with this episode, things continue to brew under the surface. Really didn't take much time at all for Kenshin to get the eyes of those higher-up officials on him, but he's sticking to his guns. It's as they said in the episode, not being tied down by the state is what lets him do what he wants freely. God forbid you wind up in that organization and the ruffian police become your co-workers. Wouldn't want to be anywhere near that. He really made those cops look like fools by taking them all out on his own XD there's no recovering your pride from that. They were rotten so doubt they would ever change, they needed the rude awakening that they weren't the law. But the episode looks like it's setting up a perfect damsel in distress scenario. Kenshin had his inner monologue about how the kid could have become a proper samurai in the right times, wouldn't bat an eye for Kenshin to appear and save the kid from the yakuza. Would be terrible if they broke the kid's hand THEN he got avenged for it. |

| When keeping it real goes wrong: “The Sword Bearing Police" thought they had an easy target but what they didn’t know is that the “easy target” was the man once known as the Hitokiri Battōsai! |

I didn't personally read it and it's fine to ignore it. As for the actual original manga... well, the last arc does actually completely fall apart towards the second half (just the honest assessment), but the ending is still fine. You can always just pretend it ends at the Kyoto saga haha |
| Kaoru looks so cute in this remake lol |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |

| Really loving the vibe between Kenshin and Kaoru in this remake. It feels a lot more romantic from the start, somehow. |
 |
| That speech he gave about using one sword to protect people was cool. Also that kid should be one of their dojo students |

Perrin4869 said: Its not canon? Okay. I knew this kind of manga sequel from Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san and then a time skip and "Karakai Jouzu no (Moto) Takagi-san", which Im pretty sure is canon.

| Two episodes in, so far so good. Story is progressing, Animation fight scene looks clean. There is a movement, I'm so glad it wasn't a slide show cut. |
 |
| Another chapter with quality, seeing that they are taking good narrative positions in adapting the manga chapters, it was also seen that they completely removed the humor that the 96 anime had and we will see a more serious story In the fight, the choreography was excellent, the attacks could be seen clearly. The only thing that I did not like is that we could not see the complete fight, but rather the parts of the climax, making it known that this will be one of the resources that they will use for the animation to save movements of characters |
| Poor Yahiko, it's hard to live in this anarchist world. |
| Great 2nd episode. I think I prefer the serious tone of this version than the original one. Little bits of "oro" here and there is fine but not all the time. Hope the quality keeps up in future episodes |
| Nice to see bits of history thrown in too! The sword bearing police are no joke though :( |
 |
| Another great episode, a tear shed over memories of watching this beloved series back twenty odd years ago. Always the Kenshin and Kaoru scenes that choke me up. Enjoying the ED more than the OP. |
| Is that upbeat dad rock in Yahiko's first scene meaningful in some way because that was really weird |
| Me esta gustando este remake. |
 |
| haha noobs think they can beat him smhhhhhh |
 |
| Kaoru's Kamiya Kasshin-ryu can forget about having students, so as long as Kenshin's there. The kid from the streets, Yahiko Myojin, he's a rather sulky one to deal with. Whilst Kenshin has to deal with Kaoru's whims, he's lucky that he did not encounter someone who's looking for him as Himura Battosai. Sure enough, Kenshin got himself into the same sword law trouble, though this time, adds the Sword Bearing Police in the fray for abusing their position in power, led by the Satsuma Imperalist Revolutionary warrior of Lieutenant Ujiki, forcing Kenshin to draw his blade. As opposed to the Chief that he wanted to welcome the same Hitokiri Battousai to add to his ranks, this commotion alerted Kenshin to him, which Kenshin facing off against the Sword Beating Police, his Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu has no rival. Against the brink of the townsfolk celebrating his win, the Kiteihai General of Imperalist Arimoto Yamagata has finally spotted him after 10 years of finding him, though he has no intention of joining the force. Yamagata may have wasted his time, though it's not for nothing, because Kenshin just wants to be an independent rurouni. Thanks to Kenshin, Yahiko is done being a pickpocket for the yakuza, though his consequence is heavy. Who will come to his aid? |
 |
| Kaoru is not as fiery in the remake but i don't mind this much, Rie Takahashi does a decent job. Yahiko introduction i don't care for that much. |
