"My favorite indigo ribbon..." "I'll lend it to you, Kenshin." "All right, I'm just lending it to you!" "You have to return it!" "All right." "Miss Kaoru!" "I take it that this girl is your woman!" "Jinei!" "Angry, get angry!" "Return to the way you were ten years ago!" "Hate!" "Hate me!" "Return to a manslayer, Battousai!" "Kenshin!" "Jinei!" "Don't glare at me so much." "It's not like I'm going to kill and eat you." "Cheater!" "You kidnapped me because you can't beat Kenshin otherwise!" "You don't get it." "I can defeat the present Battousai before finishing one cigarette." "That's boring." "If I take you hostage, the Battousai will be angry." "Anger will return him to the manslayer he once was." "Y-You don't know how strong Kenshin is." "You're the one who doesn't know how he really was." "The power of Battousai the Manslayer gave everyone goosebumps during the Revolution." "Back then, I was in Kyoto as well a member of the Shinsengumi." "The Shinsengumi?" "Jinei!" "Your bloodthirsty sword is a disgrace to us, the Shinsengumi!" "We will execute you!" "I was fighting in Kyoto like him." "A deathmatch with the former Battousai, both of us on the edge." "Sounds fun." "Is there anything as fun as that?" "Kenshin isn't like that!" "He's not like you, just out for blood!" "Kenshin will never return to being a manslayer!" "K-Kaoru was abducted?" "Kurogasa has stated where he wants the battle." "If I don't return, I ask you to rescue Miss Kaoru with the police chief." "That guy..." "He's gonna go rescue the girl all by himself." "To put an end to the battle between two manslayers..." "Two manslayers..." "B-But, Kenshin is no longer a manslayer!" "That's why he might lose!" "But even then, he's going to go fight alone!" "You've got to be kidding!" "I'm going with him!" "Wait, you idiot!" "Let go!" "I want to go!" "I don't know what happened in his past!" "But I don't care about the Revolution!" "I'm going to save Kenshin and Kaoru as they are now!" "Who's stopping you?" "You're forgetting this." "Let's go, punk!" "Move it!" "Same goes for you!" "It's about that time..." "Now, it's time for much fun to begin." "Kenshin!" "Those are good eyes." "He is angry." "Oh yes." "Angry at you for involving Miss Kaoru... and at myself, for not stopping you." "That tone of voice..." "No, that's not the usual Kenshin!" "I sense a pleasing intention to kill." "Now, you reverse that silly sword." "Then, the legendary manslayer will be back." "Shut up." "How conceited..." "T-This is Battousai the Manslayer?" "Be angry." "Be more angry!" "Is that all you can do?" "One-handed thrust..." "Next, form one, side slash..." "Then cross form, a straight slash down..." "And here I break his stance!" "Kenshin!" "Hey!" "Kenshin!" "Shit where is he?" "If we can't find Kenshin soon, he and Kaoru will be done for!" "Not yet." "This is far from what Battousai used to be." "Because you don't want to kill me yet." "While you have the silly thought of defeating me without killing I can kill you before finishing three cigarettes." "This is boring." "Kenshin!" "Kenshin!" "You are completely insane!" "You are a monster!" "A monster!" "I want you to be even more angry..." "Ken shin..." "Miss Kaoru!" "You bastard!" "What did you do to Miss Kaoru?" "I gave her an extra strong version of Shin-no-ippou." "So strong that her lungs are paralyzed." "At most, she will last 5 minutes before dying of suffocation." "What!" "There are only two ways to undo it." "One is for the target to overcome it on her own..." "But only if her swordsman's spirit is stronger than mine..." "It is utterly impossible for that girl." "The other way is for me, the user, to die." "In other words, unless you kill me, that girl dies." "What's wrong?" "There's no time left." "Are you going to do nothing and let this girl die?" "Jinei..." "What's wrong?" "There's no time left." "Are you going to do nothing and let this girl die?" "Death from suffocation is ugly and disgusting..." "Jinei..." "You have no time for chit-chat." "If you have anything to say, say it with the sword." "With that silly sword of yours." "T-That attack..." "Not only couldn't I see the sword's path, but I couldn't see his body move!" "This is the Hiten Mitsurugi Style!" "This is Battousai the Manslayer!" "Good, this is a good feeling!" "There is no time to talk." "I'll kill you so why don't you hurry over?" "K-Ken shin..." "I'll kill you, huh..." "This is good." "A phrase appropriate for a manslayer!" "You finally came back." "Back to the Revolution!" "Back to Battousai the Manslayer!" "No..." "Ken shin..." "No..." "The true battle begins now." "Here I come, Battousai!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing less from the legendary manslayer..." "You really are different when you intend to kill." "I guess it is time for me to take this seriously." "To defeat the strongest man." "Shin-no-ippou uses hypnosis to make a target stand in his tracks..." "I will now use it on myself!" "In other words, I will use hypnosis to bring out all of my potential!" "I am undefeatable!" "I am invincible!" "I am the strongest!" "The hidden usage for Shin-no-ippou..." "The Hyouki technique..." "I haven't used this since I left the Shinsengumi 15 years ago." "You can use all the skills you like." "However..." "Now that I've said I will kill your death is inevitable." "This is the stance for Battoujutsu..." "Attacks that accelerate the blade by pulling it from the sheath and slay the opponent in an instant..." "His unsheathing is at god-like speed..." "A speed that matches the gods!" "Come!" "I will give you a taste of where the name Battousai came from." "However, Battoujutsu are all one-shot attacks leaving the user momentarily defenseless..." "If I can evade that one moment of unsheathing..." "But, can I do it?" "I can!" "I can evade it!" "It's a reverse-blade sword, so the drawing slows for an instant!" "I can win!" "I challenge you, Battousai!" "So fast!" "I win, Battousa..." "Wha..." "A double Battoujutsu using the sword and its sheath..." "Hiten Mitsurugi Style Battoujutsu." "Sou-ryu-sen." "I am fully that the reverse-blade sword is not suited for Battoujutsu." "I have perfected Battoujutsu in every way so I was named Battousai." "I crushed your elbow joint, and tore the ligaments." "Your life as a swordsman is over." "And now the end of your life as a human." "K-Ken..." "What's wrong?" "Why are you hesitating?" "To get rid of the Shin-no-ippou I put upon that girl, you have to kill me." "K-Kenshin..." "To protect Miss Kaoru..." "I will become a manslayer once again..." "That's right!" "Let me, Jinei, enjoy the blade of the legendary manslayer!" "Die." "A sword is a weapon." "Swordsmanship is learning how to kill." "That is the truth, no matter how much you try to give excuses for it." "However, I prefer Miss Kaoru's play-talk over than the truth, that I do." "K-Ken shin..." "Kenshin..." "Kenshin..." "I prefer it, that I do." "Don't!" "Don't go back to a manslayer..." "Don't use swordsmanship to kill..." "Miss Kaoru!" "Miss Kaoru, you all right?" "You have to hold steady, that you do!" "Hold steady, that I do?" "Are you all right, that is?" "I am all right, that is." "I'm all right..." "I'm all right, so..." "To think that my Shin-no-ippou would be defeated by a girl like her." "Stop, Jinei." "You have no chance with only a short-sword and your left arm, that you don't." "Everything is over now." "Peacefully be arrested now, that you should." "No, it is not over yet." "There is something left." "Cleaning up!" "This is a good feeling..." "Don't look at me like that, Battousai..." "I liked your eyes when you said you were going to kill me." "You truly are a manslayer inside." "I, another manslayer, is saying this, so there is no mistake..." "A manslayer is only that until he dies..." "He can never be anything else." "I'll see how long you can stay a wanderer from the edge of hell." "A manslayer is only that until he dies..." "Kenshin..." "Let's leave the rest for the police." "I found something!" "Footprints!" "Kenshin's footprints!" "R-Really?" "See?" "Kenshin's footprints are going this way!" "Idiot!" "That's a cow's hoofprints!" "You're kidding!" "Idiot!" "Let go, dammit!" "Kaoru!" "Kenshin!" "You're all right now." "Now that I'm here!" "Where is Kurogasa?" "It's so boring that there was no need for me to save you!" "You said it." "I'm hungry now that I stayed up all night running around." "Idiot, how can you be hungry without doing anything?" "I dunno why!" "Are you all right now, Miss Kaoru, that is?" "Yes..." "Um..." "Kenshin..." "Thanks for saving me." "I'll just give you thanks for now." "No, I am the one who should be thanking you, that I should." "If you didn't stop me back then, Miss Kaoru..." "I would have completely reverted to my old self, Battousai the Manslayer..." "Thank you so much." "What?" "What are you thanking me for?" "Oh, nothing..." "That's right, I have to return your ribbon, Miss Kaoru, that is..." "What is this?" "Blood from my wound..." "This was my favorite one, too!" "I can't believe you!" "I shouldn't have promised!" "l-I'm sorry, Miss Kaoru!" "Ow!" "You stepped on my foot!" "What's this about a promise?" "It's nothing a kid should know!" "What was that?" "Jinei..." "Even if my true self is a manslayer I will never return to being one, that I won't." "I will stay a wanderer forever, that I shall as long as I have these comrades."
