"A brush against the freckles that I hated oh so much..." "A small flicker, that's all, and then I heave a little sigh." "The heavyweight love that I once shared with you Miraculously dissolved with the sugar cube." "The little prick that I feel on my bosom that has shrunken from the little thorn really hurts me now." "I guess I cannot trust those silly horoscopes after all..." "I wonder what it would be like if we could go further away... right?" "I'd be so happy just because of that!" "Memories I have are always beautiful in my mind." "But they can't feed me;" "they can't fill up my stomach." "In reality tonight was supposed to be somber." "I really do wonder why..." "I just can't see how all of the tears were streaming down his face that night." "I just can't see it anymore..." "This is heavy, Miss Kaoru, that it is." "Was there a reason to buy all this at once, that is?" "It's more cost-efficient to buy in bulk." "It's nothing perishable, and I'm feeding two layabouts." "It helps to cut expenses, even a little." "Oh man, it's tough being poor." "Mr. Sen, you're so cool!" "Nothing less from the extravagant ozeki." "Such popularity!" "Ozeki?" "You don't know, Kenshin?" "His name is Senryouyama..." "He's an ozeki rank sumo wrestler who's on a roll." "They say that his promotion to yokozuna is a matter of time..." "Lord Senryouyama..." "Will you hold my grandson and wish that he will be strong and healthy when he grows up, just like you?" "No problem." "All right now..." "I don't want to." "I'm scared." "Little boy, you won't be a strong man like me if you're a crybaby." "Wait!" "That guy didn't pay!" "Toramaru!" "First you flee the training stable, and now you won't pay your bills?" "S-Senior..." "You embarrassing oaf!" "Don't talk like my peer!" "My pinwheel!" "Amazing!" "Nothing less from an ozeki!" "Thank you." "Now, come over here." "He sure has a good heart for someone who just ran out on a bill." "But, he's pretty worthless." "Even though he's facing an ozeki, he's a sumo wrestler himself." "Hey, Toramaru!" "We'll teach you a lesson!" "l-I'm sorry." "Shut up!" "H-H-Help me!" "Stop it, you guys!" "Kaoru!" "No matter what the circumstances it's brutal for you all to beat up on one guy!" "Don't be such a wiseass." "Little girls should stay back." "Go, Kenshin!" "W-What do you think you're doing?" "Well..." "I'm sorry, that I am." "However, I believe that Miss Kaoru is right, that I do..." "Shut up!" "Who the hell do you think we are?" "Bastard!" "Hey!" "Dammit, how dare you?" "Dear Ken..." "W-Wait a minute, you!" "Oh well..." "He ran away." "Shit..." "Damn you..." "Stop it." "It's only one washed-up samurai." "No good will come of beating him up." "B-But, Ozeki..." "Toramaru has had enough he'll stay out of our sight now." "Let's go." "Mr. Toramaru?" "I know him well because he used to come to our place often with Lord Senryouyama." "I wonder why he ran away from his sumo stable?" "That's obvious." "It's because he's weak, and he's got no determination." "He was driven out because he was always picked on by his senior, Lord Senryouyama." "And so he was at a loss in terms of food, and had to run out, that is..." "I feel sorry for him." "Lord Senryouyama is powerful and popular, right?" "That's why nobody complains when he does things the way he wants." "To tell the truth, they often get drunk and brawl, breaking things..." "They have a really bad reputation in the stores around here." "Is that guy jumping off a bridge?" "Hey, that's Toramaru!" "Forget it." "Leave him alone." "He can't possibly have enough guts to commit suicide." "I can't leave him alone!" "L-Let me go!" "The only thing I can do now is die!" "Don't say such silly things!" "It's better for weak-willed good-for-nothings like me to just die!" "I beg you, don't stop me!" "Dosukoi!" "I'm telling you, stop it!" "M-Miss Kaoru!" "There's no need to worry, Kenshin." "Nobody ever drowns in this river." "T-Today was the first time I wore this kimono, too... l-I'm sorry..." "Well, it's true what they say..." "Even a chance acquaintance is preordained..." "But to go with 'em and jump off a bridge?" "You sure have weird tastes, Missie." "Really, I don't understand how ugly women think." "Ugly?" "What do you mean, ugly?" "I'm really sorry." "Even if I were to go home, I would just trouble my family." "I am at a loss no matter which way I turn." "But don't ever think of dying even if that's the case!" "Just eat a lot, and get your energy back, Toramaru." "Thank you!" "However, I'll warn you that Kaoru's cooking tastes horrible." "No no, lately it has undergone amazing improvement." "I can somehow make myself eat it, that is." "In any case, it's better than dying." "I heard that, guys!" "Yeah, it's delicious!" "It's been a while since I last ate a meal this good!" "Oh, you like it?" "People who know good cooking know good cooking!" "Here, you can have as many helpings as you want!" "Thank you!" "What an amazing appetite, that is..." "If you consider just his appetite, he has the caliber of a yokozuna." "By the way, Toramaru..." "Is it true that Senryouyama was being cruel to you?" "Oh, uh..." "My senior really was strict..." "In the end, I just didn't have the strength." "I was pretty good at sumo back home so I came here with hopes of reaching the yokozuna rank." "I realized all too well that my strength is next to nothing here in Tokyo." "So you don't have any wishes to continue sumo wrestling, Toramaru?" "No..." "Nope, no good." "A klutz has no hope of getting such a rank, even with years of practice." "Oh?" "I think he can do better than Yahiko and his swordsmanship." "What did you say?" "Well, unlike you, he has a good, honest personality." "And above all, he eats my meals and enjoys them so much!" "I'm so thrilled!" "I know, Toramaru." "I'll train you." "Train?" "Sumo, Sumo training!" "If you look back far enough sumo and swordsmanship have the same martial arts origins!" "Leave it to me, assistant master of the Kamiya Kasshin Style!" "You can't possibly give Toramaru sumo training, Kaoru!" "That's what I'm going to do!" "Does that mean you're going to get into one of those loincloths, Missie?" "Now, Toramaru, you should eat more." "Thank you." "Um, Miss Kaoru, what about us?" "You guys have had enough!" "Toramaru, you have to use your hips more!" "Dosukoi!" "That's it!" "200 more times, just like that!" "Y-You're kidding!" "Miss Kaoru is really enthusiastic about this, that she is." "In any case, she is one harsh mistress." "After this, I'm sure he's gonna run away from this school too." "I can't do it anymore, Miss Kaoru." "This is even tougher than the training back at the sumo stable." "If you give up with just this much, you won't become stronger!" "Don't your folks back home want you to become a yokozuna, Toramaru?" "But, I..." "You can do it, Toramaru!" "We'll cheer you on so that you can become a yokozuna!" "Toramaru's gonna be a yokozuna!" "You can do it!" "Little Ayame and little Suzume are cheering for me too..." "Oh yeah, Miss Kaoru." "Can you pinch my butt?" "That's how my mom used to scold me when I was a kid." "All right, Toramaru, I'm not going to hold back." "Did I overdo it?" "No, I feel a bit more energetic now, Miss Kaoru." "Dosukoi!" "Toramaru has energy now!" "Dosukoi!" "You can do it, Toramaru!" "Dosukoi!" "He's so simple..." "Dosukoi!" "Dosukoi!" "There you go!" "One more!" "All right!" "Dosukoi!" "That's it!" "Sister Kaoru!" "Toramaru!" "We brought some rice-balls!" "Toramaru's are this big!" "Sorry to trouble you, little Suzume and little Ayame." "Now, let's all have lunch." "Did you know, Ozeki?" "That idiot Toramaru is staying at some swordsmanship dojo." "Oh, so he's gonna quit sumo and become a swordsman?" "He should stop fooling around like that." "But, actually..." "I heard that he was doing sumo training." "What?" "And our master heard it too and said that he could return to our stable if he still wants to do sumo..." "I wonder, why does our master side with that good-for-nothing?" "W-What's wrong, Ozeki?" "Find where Toramaru is, right now!" "I don't care, just hurry!" "Righ..." "Right!" "Toramaru..." "Senryouyama and his group is..." "Yeah they were wandering around the dojo earlier." "They sure looked grim for some reason." "I wonder if it is about what happened the other day, that is but why now?" "Kenshin!" "We've got a problem!" "Miss Tae was listening to them, and... l-Is Mr. Toramaru over here?" "No, he's training with Miss Kaoru over at the shrine..." "Delicious!" "Today's rice-balls are especially delicious!" "That's because they were hand-made by Ken!" "Ken is very good at making rice-balls!" "For some reason, they don't end up being triangular when I make them." "Kaoru is very bad at making rice-balls." "You!" "Toramaru!" "What do you all want?" "Listen up, Toramaru." "Even if our master forgives you, I will not." "If you come crawling back to our stable, it will harm our reputation!" "W-Wait a minute!" "What are you going to do to Toramaru?" "He already ran away once." "I'll make sure that he won't ever be able to do sumo again." "I won't let you do such a thing!" "Toramaru!" "Take little Ayame and the others, and run!" "Y-Yes!" "We won't let you escape!" "You bitch!" "How dare you do that?" "You'll get hurt if you go easy just because I'm a girl!" "What did you say, you..." "Toramaru!" "What?" "Don't let him get away!" "Yeah!" "There ya go!" "Miss Kaoru!" "Dosukoi!" "Amazing..." "Little Ayame!" "Little Suzume!" "Big brother!" "Kenshin!" "That washed-up samurai again?" "I won't be so nice this time." "A fight with a sumo wrestler might be fun." "I, Yahiko Myojin, will fight too!" "Don't be fools!" "Get them all at once!" "If you're a sumo wrestler, act like one and fight with your bare hands!" "You loincloth-hoisters!" "That's right, over there!" "Crush them!" "Kenshin!" "Stand back." "You..." "What?" "You cleared out over here already?" "W-What the hell are these guys?" "Who are they?" "Senryouyama, I believe it was." "I want to ask you one thing." "Why do you want to get rid of Toramaru that much?" "Because guys like him are a disgrace to our Hamakaze Stable." "I am asking for the real reason." "What?" "S-Shut up!" "There's no difference between truth and lies!" "What the hell are you gonna do with that, anyway?" "Don't get me wrong." "Your opponent is Toramaru." "Don't be so reckless, Kenshin!" "There's no way Toramaru can be a match for the ozeki." "No." "Toramaru was amazing when he protected me." "Toramaru, you can do it if you put your mind to it!" "l-Impossible..." "I was able to earlier because I was so frantic..." "Toramaru, I'll take you on anytime!" "But do you have enough courage to?" "You can do it, Toramaru!" "Toramaru, you're gonna be a yokozuna!" "But..." "My feet aren't moving..." "This is no good." "Huh?" "What are you doing?" "Toramaru, come on!" "Miss Kaoru, little Ayame, little Suzume..." "I'm gonna give it a try." "Dosukoi!" "You should know your place." "Come on!" "Wrestlers ready..." "Lay on!" "Dosukoi!" "You fool." "Toramaru!" "Oh man!" "I'm pretty impressed!" "You did it, Toramaru!" "Toramaru wins!" "I see..." "So you were fearing this, Senryouyama." "Master!" "M-Master..." "You are a man who has reached the rank of ozeki." "There is no way you couldn't see Toramaru's hidden talent." "However, you feared that someday Toramaru, your junior would challenge your position, and you tried to force him out." "Could it be that Toramaru actually is really strong?" "When he was thrown down by Senryouyama the other day..." "He showed amazing flexibility by spontaneously avoiding that pinwheel." "When he threw aside that stone lantern to protect Miss Kaoru he also showed amazing power." "He sure is of a fine caliber, that he is." "However, it seems that he doesn't realize it himself." "Exactly what I had seen in him!" "In other words, there was no mistake in what I had seen!" "So do you get it now, Yahiko?" "Well, it's a shame that he's such a wimp." "Toramaru." "Master..." "It's not too late." "Come back to my training stable." "T-Thank you very much, Master!" "Good for you, Toramaru!" "Good luck!" "But in any case, Senryouyama..." "You are such a..." "Senryouyama, if you have the honor of an ozeki..." "In the ring, you will lend your strength to Toramaru to repay for your sins." "What do you think, Master?" "T-Then you are willing to forgive Senryouyama for his sin?" "I think it's better for Toramaru as well." "Sumo is like fighting..." "You need a worthwhile opponent to become stronger." "S-Senior!" "I'm going to try my best one more time!" "So I give you my best regards!" "Toramaru..." "He hasn't been around here a while..." "I wonder if Toramaru is training properly." "Excuse me, dosukoi." "Hey, Toramaru!" "Toramaru!" "Speak of the devil." "Don't tell me that you ran away from the stable again..." "Oh no, I'm doing my best." "I came here today to bring some rice..." "I bought it with money I saved, to say thank you for taking care of me." "Oh, that really helps us out, that does." "A-Are you all right?" "Your clumsiness hasn't changed at all, you know..." "But Kenshin sure is a slacker." "He's the strongest man in Japan if you give him a sword but if you give him a bale of rice he's just an ordinary guy." "You're right." "When your heart is shaken about with tears..." "What should I be doing to help you out?" "Even looking up at the sky..." "My heart hurts as much as yours." "Something that you don't have to get hurt over..." "Evervone accidentally feels..." "Just like the times when you're surprised by how cold the water really is." "Now, just being here right next to you..." "It's all that I can do, and nothing else..." "All the smiles that I can make just for you, anytime I'll embrace and send to you, whenever you need it." "You can believe it, dreams will someday be reality..." "Just for you and only for you..." "It is okay to crv, because deep inside that heart of yours everv piece of sadness turns to wings for you to fly." "Miss Megumi Takani the female doctor, is the talk of the town." "She's tremendously popular, the Rose of the Sewing Needle!" "Then, a mysterious medicine man named Raikou began curing people with a strange power!" "He even started calling Miss Megumi a quack doctor!" "That makes me really mad!" "Next episode of Rurouni Kenshin..." "Please look forward to it!"
