"A robber!" "Missie!" "I'm tellin' ya to just give us all yer money!" "It means nothing for me to kill 2 or 3 guys just for kicks!" "Can't you see this carving knife?" "I-I'm not afraid of that thing!" "What?" "and get the hell outta here?" "Yahiko..." "Miss Tae." "This guy is nothing!" "first apprentice of the Kamiya Kasshin Style will beat the crap outta him!" "L-Little Yahiko..." "Stop calling me that!" "kid!" "You'll get hurt if you don't know when to back off!" "Forearm!" "Thrust!" "Yahiko." "That was a piece of cake!" "I'm sure he was with the Battousai.... you've become one fine young swashbuckler." "Don't say that call me a swordsman." "A swordsman!" "Yahiko!" "Yahiko!" "You forgot to put away your wooden sword!" "That's no good!" "the wooden sword will cry out for you!" "What is with your attitude?" "It really isn't cute at all!" "I've already graduated from using wooden swords!" "did you hear what happened at the Akabeko?" "I heard the story." "is that right?" "Yup!" "The guy must have been almost 6 feet tall." "and I nabbed him..." "Like that." "A dagger?" "I heard that it was a carving knife." "And that the robber was slightly shorter than Miss Kaoru..." "I nabbed the guy." "I'll protect the honor of the Kamiya Kasshin Style from now on." "even dojo challengers!" "that it does." "Yeah!" "I'm beyond the usual Kamiya Kasshin Style lessons!" "you put away that wooden sword for me." "Don't fool yourself!" "You're still a beginner!" "A beginner!" "you ugly hag?" "Call me Assistant Master!" "now..." "I've had enough of wooden swords." "like a real swordsman." "There's no way you could handle that!" "I'm sure that you would tremble just holding a real sword!" "I don't think that's true!" "now... that I do." "you should not allow your ego to interfere with your swordsmanship." "I don't have an ego!" "Wooden swords just aren't good enough!" "That's what we mean by an ego!" "Shut up!" "Keep your mouth outta this one!" "that we do..." "So I take it that those brothers are as good as the rumors say?" "The Onizaki brothers of the Tsuchigumo Style... even in the underworld." "It's said that they'll take on anyone if you give them enough money..." "What's wrong?" "H-H-H-Help!" "Rin pyou tou sha kai jin retsu zai zen!" "Rin pyou tou sha kai jin retsu zai zen!" "W-Wait!" "M-My name is Gohei Hiruma!" "I'm your client!" "Client?" "I'll pay as much as you request." "There is someone who must be killed before I am again able to rest." "That's for starters." "Tell me how much more you want." "who is this man you want dead?" "Kenshin Himura..." "Also known as Battousai the Manslayer." "Battousai the Manslayer... but he crushed my fingers." "my path as a swordsman has been lost." "I took that opportunity to start again as a merchant." "and made loads of money." "I wonder if I should have always been doing this..." "I'm sure that you two understand how frustrated I feel." "It doesn't matter to us what grudge you hold against the target." "All we need is to be paid... and sending them into the darkness..." "That is how we of the Tsuchigumo Style have lived for generations." "I understand." "I have a plan." "A plan that will definitely take Kenshin's head..." "Do as you like." "leave an ema board with "Demon" written on it at the deserted shrine outside of town." "That damn Battousai..." "I'll be sure to send him to the afterlife..." "Myojin Kasshin Style..." "Shippuu Jinrai Dotou Sword!" "I struck with the flat of the blade." "You know..." "The flat of the blade is all good but you still have to clean the floor." "You also have to get the bath ready before I finish giving lessons!" "Why do I have to do such a thing?" "You're still a freeloader!" "Even this is part of your duty!" "No way am I doing that!" "I'm a swordsman!" "Yahiko... that I will." "that you should." "she abuses people too much!" "Mistreating someone who's the heir to the Kamiya Kasshin Style..." "She just doesn't get it." "why should I have to wipe the floor?" "she'll be sorry!" "Ouch!" "Who is it?" "Show yourself!" "doing chores?" "How pitiful..." "You're..." "Gohei Hiruma!" "So you remembered!" "Of course!" "How can I forget such an ugly villain's face?" "brat." "I still won't lose to likes of you." "Do you want to try?" "You bet I do!" "Don't oppose strength with strength." "To turn your opponent's strength to your advantage is another secret of the Kamiya Kasshin Style." "What Kaoru was saying..." "Chest!" "A draw..." "You handle yourself well..." "However..." "Your swordsmanship is only fit for a dojo!" "What do you mean?" "your life would have been over!" "What?" "A sword to protect others?" "Don't make me laugh!" "swordsmanship only in name!" "Don't make fun of it!" "Are you going to face someone with a real sword using that cheap wooden one?" "Such a thing would split in two against a real sword!" "I'm sure it would be different if you were to fight with a real sword." "it's impossible." "you lose!" "boy swordsman." "Wait!" "It's not impossible!" "There's Kenshin's reverse-blade sword!" "I'll take you on with the reverse-blade sword!" "what are you going to fight with again?" "the reverse-blade sword!" "All right!" "Bring the reverse-blade sword and come to the shrine just outside of town!" "boy!" "Y-Yeah!" "I didn't think it would go this well!" "That brat!" "It was too simple!" "that it is." "I must wash the rice and prepare the bath before Miss Kaoru gets back from giving lessons..." "Kenshin..." "Yahiko..." "What is it?" "Um... well... that you can." "Nothing!" "This is heavy..." "So this is the weight of a real sword... it should be all right..." "Gohei?" "I'll take you on!" "W-Who are you?" "A-Are you ready?" "Everything has gone well." "Kenshin's head is mine." "I'm tired." "I'll take a bath." "dinner..." "W-What's this?" "come to Kikyougawara before sundown." "Oh no!" "It's Gohei Hiruma!" "that it was." "I knew that Yahiko had taken the reverse-blade sword with him... the reverse blade sword is with Yahiko?" "thinking that it might shrink his ego... that I did." "But I didn't think there would be a trap behind it..." "Yahiko..." "That idiot was led on by Hiruma without a second thought..." "Kenshin!" "What are you going to do without your reverse-blade sword?" "you're facing Gohei!" "You never know what dirty trick he has up his sleeve!" "I don't know if I can win." "However... that I can not." "Kenshin is no match against the two Onizaki brothers without this reverse-blade sword." "kid?" "The sun will set soon." "Kikyougawara will be Kenshin's grave." "I'll take care of you after that." "Even Kenshin could be killed by them without his reverse-blade sword!" "The reverse-blade sword..." "If only I didn't take the reverse-blade sword..." "If only I didn't let my ego get to me..." "And you patted me on the head!" "I was just teasing you because you had that sword on your belt!" "that it has." "You should cherish that pride that you have." "I want to be strong..." "So that I don't need your help again... that you can." "Kenshin!" "Kenshin!" "Yahiko." "the sun is gonna set!" "Kenshin!" "he really came here without a weapon!" "Where is Yahiko?" "you must first defeat us." "There is no other way." "Who are you guys?" "Were you hired by Gohei?" "Tekkan Onizaki of the Tsuchigumo Style." "Gengo Onizaki from the same." "They aren't normal thugs... that you should." "the only thing they were after was my life... that's why they used Yahiko to get the reverse-blade sword?" "That is so." "you can die without regret." "why do you have that sword?" "T-This is..." "Don't you know that carrying a sword is now illegal?" "G-Get out of my way..." "If I don't hurry..." "We won't let you go just because you're a kid!" "Hand over that sword!" "Give it here!" "Hey!" "Wait!" "dammit!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Unbelievable!" "Wait!" "don't die!" "They are missing on purpose..." "Are they trying to lure me somewhere?" "Rin pyou tou sha kai jin retsu zai zen!" "What?" "This is..." "Kenshin!" "that you should!" "Kenshin!" "but..." "How are you going to fight with just your left arm?" "just a little bit more..." "Kenshin!" "that kid was able to escape?" "Kid!" "I won't let you get in the way!" "I allowed a draw on purpose to boost your ego." "it won't be as easy!" "C-Come on..." "Your stance is weak!" "Whenever someone holds a real sword for the first time they can't handle it like a wooden sword!" "You..." "Yahiko!" "To turn your opponent's strength to your advantage..." "Don't oppose strength with strength." "Was that it?" "Kenshin!" "Yahiko!" "Kenshin!" "Your trick was to hold your opponent with invisible wires... it's simple to evade..." "Hiten Mitsurugi Style..." "Do ryu sen!" "Kenshin!" "Kenshin..." "I'm sorry I took the reverse-blade sword..." "Kenshin." "I..." "I don't know what to say..." "Yahiko..." "Kenshin." "and thought I could do so much..." "I was an idiot." "Yahiko... that it does." "You really had us worried!" "Hopefully this taught you a little lesson!" "But I created a new move for the Kamiya Kasshin Style!" "Invented by Instructor Yahiko Myojin a shoulder dodge into a groin kick!" "There you go again!"
