I couldn't help but notice, from that angle, it seemed like Yahiko bit Gaskeh in a rather sensitive area, lol. Nevertheless, Yahiko proves to be a tough and stubborn kid, even though he can be a bit of a brat. But he's still likable in his own way.

WDYM "it seemed like"!? The visuals were very clear about everything happen there. No implications, no conotations, one clean bite to the d*ck, that's all... XD
Thank god human flesh couldn't be bitten off that easily, otherwise he can just say goodbye to Gaskeh Jr. wkwkwkwk

They heavily toned down the funny faces/gags comedy , the goofiness of Kenshin , and the aggressiveness of Kaoru tho.

Compared to what I read in the manga, this is hardly an intentional thing because of younger generations or some shit.

It’s mostly just seem like they’re cutting irrelevant scenes from something which already is a very slow start.

Not like you can’t grasp their personalities with what we have, really.
In terms of characters, they definitely adjusted it. It has little to do with Gen Z, but probably the fact that the kind of humor Kaoru brought isn't very common or the author felt he can better express their personality traits 30 years later this way. The comedy has most definitely been toned down or dropped in places though.

But I don't mind since it's handled by those who wrote/drew the manga and it's not enough that it's entirely gone.

So glad Kenshin saved Yahiko from the Yakuza. Kaoru handled her own with those gang punks. Yahiko will be a great student.

It's nice she is very good natured and caring towards even former students, but I hate that mentality. People wont learn if you don't allow them to be punished. She can feel disappointed all she wants, but she shouldn't allow herself to be harmed to protect those degenerates.

Pretty late to this episode. Anyway I liked how they adapted Yahiko's part and didn't drag it out too much while still giving weight to his character. He felt more important than in the manga or the old anime. I was expecting they would be skipping chapters like Kamiya-Kasshin Ryu reborn kind of like how FMAB skipped the coal mining chapter but it seems they are going to do it all. I don't really like the first few monster of the week arcs but I am glad atleast they are going over them fast. Also I feel the art were a bit off in this half or is it just me? Anyway I just feel bad for the people who might drop this early because of these earlier arcs since they will miss out on how good it gets.

Biting the dick? That's both disgusting and threatening lol.

No one gets strong real quick. It takes commitment, patience, and virtue. It will all depend on someone like Yahiko's effort.

Yahiko is done with being dog for the yakuza, though Kaoru sure has some coincidental timing to witness the atrocity.

Not even the Yakuza could scratch a winch over Kenshin, which while Yahiko does not appreciate the sentiment, he laments at relying on the strength of other people to protect his parents' honour, and the only way to get stronger is by being under Kaoru's tutelage. But the disdain that Kenshin would not teach his Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu is a better chance, because it beats someone losing his/her life over something that is outdated.

Hira and Sato getting accosted by the Hishimani Guren gang, without Kenshin they would not survive, though the both of them are to blame for causing the ruckus to begin with. In the end, they reap what they sow, though Kaoru taking on their blame is justified, and just enough for Kenshin to show up and scare them away. Kaoru's former students finally giving the boot because they don't belong, and Yahiko steels his resolve even more, it's both a curse and a blessing for her.

Sanosuke's arrival, get ready!

That brat seriously just drop kicked that guy square in the face, that was priceless. I just love how Kenshin can be silly, loving, playful and calm one minute, then flip a switch and have psycho killer vibes.

I don't understand why they change Kaoru character, in the original anime, she is stronger than any normal sword fighter. In this show she is really weak both emotionally and physically.

She's indeed strong-willed , but she always became incredibly emotionally weak when it's about one of her relatives. (Especially Kenshin)
She crumbled many times through the Original Anime/Manga. And it's exactly because of it that


As for her strength , she absolutely never shined because of it in the Original Anime...
She clearly seems to be a more accomplished kendoka here , especially with the scenes of this episode.

I don't see why you think she's weaker in this adaptation (both emotionally and physically) , when she's clearly depicted stronger.
Edit : Maybe it's because of her aggressiveness , which got greatly reduced alongside the comedy in this one ?

Wait, where exactly did Yahiko bite Gaskeh? Because from that angle it looked like he bit him in his junk haha. But man, Yahiko’s a tough kid. Stubborn too and kind of a brat, but I like the little dude regardless.

I love the way Kenshin launches dudes into the ceiling. He did it to the fake Manslayer in the pilot and now Gaskeh gets the same treatment. That Yakuza boss made the right call not to mess with Kenshin.

The way Kenshin just sliced that cannon round in half was badass. Dudes really gotta learn not to mess with him already.

Man, this was like a 5 minute episode.

This really is a Kaoru episode, an opportunity to show her strengths to the boy who found his sense of samurai pride. I appreciate that she could get some hits in and not just be on the sidelines, but they really sent their whole gang after two guys.. talk about blowing problems out of proportion.

Kenshin really just sliced up a cannonshot like nothing though o_o how fast could that clay ball have been moving for him to get a clean slice down the middle. Kenshin doesn't play around, that's for sure.

And so, the episode concluded with the bond between teacher and student solidifying. Kaoru isn't being called old hag anymore so that's a dub lol

I thought that the plot with the 2 students was very stupid - they were the ones at fault, why are they coming to look for help from Kaoru? And even worse, she decided to help them...

At least Yahiko joined the dojo as I expected

Nice that Kenshin saved that Yahiko kid and that he's now a disciple at Kaoru's dojo (even though he has quite the temperament). And lmao Kenshin breaking a canon bullet in half with his sword, this guy is too OP, at least they're getting rid of the ex disciples since they're responsible for taking a fight while being drunk

I forgot how woefully naive Kaoru is.


Now we just need the last member of the crew.
