Man, I'm torn about Shura leaving. She was my favourite female of the series so far. Hopefully she will return in another episode.

Kenshin x Shura is my new pairing; screw Kaoru. The only thing that could've made this episode better is a kiss between the two!

Shura shoulda been made into a reoccurring character, even if she just had a cameo. She's too good ;(

She was nice, but I still prefer Kenshin with Kaoru. :P Though Shura coulda been a cool reoccurring character. I dunno.

Woah, Shura friendzoned herself... Literally.

After all that long adventure, Yahiko did get his lobster. Gotta love that little detail x)

Good thing that the dumbass have thrown a bomb in the town, we won't see Ginjo again because of it. The dude probably fried inside the hell pit.

Shura was great, I enjoyed the last few episodes. I hope that she will eventually return, she was a good character.

Very solid ending of this chapter! Quite liked it :3 Especially liked Shura to be honest, sadly we'll probably won't see her again. That said though, it sure was a good episode!

Lots of bombs in this episode that don't harm the main characters. The ending was alright. It was a pretty solid arc.

The last three fillers were hard to get through, although I liked Shura.

Even though this is an old forum. I’ve watched Kenshin since I was a 6 year old lad. I’ve recently rewatched the series. For some reason when I was younger this episode didn’t stick with me. Now that I’m 23 I see what makes this episode memorable to me. Shura and Kenshin. I understand Kaoru and Kenshin... I do, but... Shura showed a lot of potential not only as a love interest, but as a good side character or spinoff seeing as she is an anime only character. Her character progression in those 3 short episodes alone were awesome and you really felt for her character. Even Kenshin remarks how her and Kaoru are literally the same (minus that shura is more bad ass and less whiny). I also see some of Kenshin in Shura with her nobility and beliefs, which with her gentle side really matches Kenshin. So yeah I wish they got together or atleast got a mistaken kiss in, but I can live with the hands held and her look that she gave him recognizing her love for him. Also she wore the kimono 👘 that her father wanted her to wear when she fell in love... so she definitely fell in love with Kenshin. It’s just kind of a shame for a filler arc, they make a great female character, strong, Noble and a good match for Himura but only to find out she’s an Anime only character that’ll never show up again (even though they left her on a cliff hanger promising to see each other again) I know it would never happen but she should have been made into a spin off or recurring cast because her character was genuinely interesting, hopefully she finds love on the open sea. So that’s my two cents I ship Shura and Kenshin too bad they are practically forgotten episodes in the anime world.

damn i love myself a tomboy. shura was awesome, i'm in love. this was a really touching arc. did everyone on the island die? kind of sounded like they did. i guess that's what they get for their hubris, but it's kind of sad when you think that her dad raised them from a young age and they were all poor orphans that grew up and got carried away.

The ost song at the end, with some nostaligia vibes.. when both side part ways... Sad...

Shura didn't want to join them because she was a "criminal". But Kenchin, Sato and the female doctor are "ex-criminals" too...

Shura was a good cast to add to this crew... It would have been more funnier to see FMC, Shura and the FMC Doctor fighting for Kenchin ahah.

Anyway, great little arc overall.
