I think I remember seeing that second guy when this was on Cartoon Network. So I guess they're going to team up at some point.
I do wish Kenshin would fight a little more, it's cool that he doesn't want to harm people, but damage need be done!

Yeah, Kenshin's all cool and that but he's more like a wise old man. He needs to kick ass more often.

i actually have to agree. i completly agree with his way's, but yea, we need to see more ass-kicking from him, becuz unlike other characters, he can actually do it if he wants to.

You'd be completely killing off his back story. There's a good reason why he's like this, it'd be a shame just to throw that out for the sake of making him more "kick ass"

Yeah, after you watch the movies you will find out why he has enough of kicking ass xD He did so much of it that he could share evenly with an army.

I actually like the "wise old man" thing. It just makes it all the more exciting when Kenshin finally brandishes his katana.

And we meet a new character!

No clue how he can flick an oponnent into defeat, nor how he can hold such a sword, I'm not sure if I like him yet or not, we'll see. Was hoping for a great spar between Kenshin and Zansa.

Sanosuke looks like Orphen, just with slightly longer hair.

I laughed my ass off when they revealed who the monk was xD
That fucking dude... He'll end up in a wheelchair. Though, how did he end up there? Wasn't he arrested the first time he fought him?

Dark Souls is leaking out. That giant sword must be so impractical.

Pretty damn great episode, Zanza sure looks really interesting as a character and I have a feeling we'll see him more in the future!

Why did this ep make me feel like Kenshin was the heroine while Kaoru was the hero? lol.

This show seems to twist every potential villain into being more evil whenever possible. The boisterous democrats (so to speak) became misogynist hypocrites and then try to kill Sanosuke. The yakuza in the earlier episode went from having an unfair deal to having no actual deal and just being essentially slavers. It lacks depth and continuity.

That said, the setup for the non-fight was pretty cool with the wind blowing through the trees and the guy who sounds, looks, and says similar things to Jet Black (in Cowboy Bebop dub) out for revenge. I don't mind that there was no actual fight. Now there is drama and something to look forward to.

Sanosuke's sword is ridiculously large, which I remember from Cartoon Network. Also, I hope it is explained more reasonably how he survived that dagger and knocked that other guy out with his finger. Was it a setup? Did I miss something?

Indeed an interesting fellow. Giant sword, a very very giant sword! He was probably pretty strong.

Even though this guy seems tough, he is obviously no match for Kenshin....

Sanosuke was one of the big four characters I knew about long before starting Samurai X. The others being Kenshin, Shishio, and uhh that Gatotsu Style guy.
