"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..." "Battousai..." "I have nothing against you, but as the strongest Imperialist you will die here." "Looks like you are not fighting for Kanryu, that it does." "What are you fighting for?" "Back then if the Imperial Army had engaged the regime in Edo victory would surely have been ours." "We would have set fires all over Edo and my Oniwaban group would have ridden that chaos and slaughtered the core of the Imperial Army." "Then the Imperialists would have lost control, and the regime army would have been able to outnumber and crush them..." "That's how it was to end." "You idiot!" "Of course something like that can't happen!" "You think so?" "If you want, I can recreate that scene here in Tokyo." "Wha..." "What did you say?" "However..." "Doing that now would be meaningless." "There is something of meaning to us that is the title of "strongest" we fought for during the Revolution." "That is the only proof that we truly are the Oniwaban group..." "Back then..." "Many men threw themselves into battle..." "Despite the different sides, they all risked their lives for the future of this country, and people's happiness." "But you are different..." "All you have is an ice-cold will to fight!" "And even now, you are helping others put people in pain." "Even as a wanderer, I cannot let you continue!" "Come on..." "Shit!" "Damn Aoshi!" "Calling me scum when he's only my pet dog, I won't allow it!" "That's right..." "I have that..." "It's no use." "What power!" "I can't believe Kenshin can't land one blow!" "Kenshin!" "It is impossible to penetrate my defenses..." "Stand, Battousai!" "He has the advantage, but he won't even smile." "Dammit..." "My legs... are giving way..." "Kenshin!" "I am all right." "I finally found a way to avoid that kodachi, that I did." "I would like to say you're bluffing but you are not one to bluff." "This way of yours why don't you show me?" "Too slow!" "What?" "He did it!" "I can't match your speed with a blade longer than a kodachi." "So I switched to the same length as your kodachi, that I did." "So that's why you're holding the base, where the blade is dull..." "You have shown me what it means to be a manslayer." "In thanks, I will defeat you with the true technique of an Oniwaban member." "Slow?" "Why this lack of speed?" "This is the ultimate fighting style of Aoshi Shinomori." "Jissen-kenbu." "Even the Battousai cannot grasp the variations of this liquid-like flow." "Die." "Ke..." "Kenshin!" "Kaiten-kenbu." "No enemy has ever survived that attack..." "Kenshin..." "Himura Battousai is dead." "Kenshin!" "I won't forgive you!" "I will never forgive you!" "Even if I die in the process I will make sure you die!" "You have a strong presence." "There is no need to hurry to your death." "Stop there." "What?" "Yahiko..." "Yahiko, you are a valuable successor to the Kamiya Kasshin Style..." "I cannot let you die in a place like this!" "Kenshin!" "Also, I cannot afford to die in a place like this..." "I know I felt something..." "What you slew was..." "I get it..." "He raised his sheath, and halved the attack power of that kodachi..." "Something to be expected of the man they called the strongest..." "I will admit your strength from the bottom of my heart." "And once again..." "I want the title of "strongest" for my group!" "Be careful, Kenshin!" "He's using another Kaiten-kenbu attack!" "I will not miss this time..." "And you are currently aching all over, and your movements are slow." "This is the end..." "Himura Battousai!" "There is one moment where you are off guard when you use Kaiten-kenbu when you switch over to offensive, that is." "He caught the blade!" "Aoshi..." "If you want the title of "strongest", I'll give it to you." "The people who are waiting for my help and the friends who I share happy and sad times with are thousands of times more important to me now, that they are!" "I'm going to lose?" "ME?" "Don't overextend yourself!" "Pull back, Aoshi!" "Not..." "Not yet!" "What?" "Kenshin!" "Kenshin!" "I am fine, that I am." "Or maybe not..." "But I am all right..." "Which is it?" "You have to hold on." "Oh, Kenshin..." "But first..." "Aoshi!" "Is he dead?" "No, he is just unconscious." "However, he is in much pain and is having trouble breathing..." "His fighting spirit never relents, but that led to his own defeat..." "When I fell from the Kaiten Kenbu, your passionate words meant a lot to me, that they did." "All right!" "All we have left to do is to catch Kanryu and save Megumi!" "Give me what ya got!" "They're here!" "Why didn't you finish me off?" "I am currently a wanderer." "I'm not a manslayer, that I am not." "Aoshi, why are you so fixated on being the strongest?" "In this age, don't you think that title means nothing?" "With your skills, there should be other places to make use of them..." "It was the same for us..." "Among our comrades, there were those who found new ways of life..." "But look at us..." "There is no place in this society for the four of us old-fashioned warriors without any other skills." "Looking at us in this state, our commander never deserted us." "He turned down an offer to be an army official so he could find us new places to live." "I was the one who made you into members of the Oniwaban group." "The least I could do was to let you be proud knowing that your name would be graced with the flower of the word "strongest."" "Battousai..." "Finish me off." "Commander!" "It's all right!" "It's all right now..." "Finish me off, Battousai..." "If you don't, I will target you as many times as it takes..." "That's fine." "Challenge me until you are satisfied." "Kenshin!" "However!" "I won't allow you to involve anyone else in our battles, that I won't." "That is..." "I will finish you off along with the rest of the obsolete Oniwaban and this swordsmen." "What's that?" "A Gatling gun." "The newest one, even." "It's no longer time to fling swords about, you know..." "Kanryu and I will prove it to you right now!" "That sound..." "It can't be..." "Isn't it amazing?" "It can fire 200 bullets a minute!" "That bastard!" "He's missing on purpose so that he can enjoy killing them!" "Y-You..." "Kanryu!" "Where did you get such a thing?" "Call me Lord Kanryu, you rude idiot!" "Commander!" "Commander!" "I have no intention of ending up as just some underground opium dealer..." "I will raise funds with the new opium and rake in the riches selling weapons like this new Gatling gun!" "In other words, a merchant of death..." "Do you really want to get your hands on money?" "Even if it means feasting upon human lives?" "Listen, Battousai..." "If you have money, you can wield power beyond any swordsmanship by a long shot." "Just like this Gatling gun!" "Money!" "It truly is the proof of power!" "Truly the strongest one is ME!" "How dare you mock me earlier!" "I'll take care of you first!" "Aoshi!" "Shikijou..." "C-Commander..." "A face like that really doesn't suit you..." "I'm happy that these muscles I hardened as one of the Oniwaban served as a shield for you, Commander..." "Shikijou..." "So who's next?" "You're the one that's gonna die!" "Hyottoko!" "Take this!" "Beshimi!" "l-I'm sorry, Commander..." "We were of little use even at the very end..." "That was close, really close." "You dirty..." "Megumi Takani is in the observatory on the third floor..." "Hannya?" "Battousai..." "Pick up your reverse-blade sword!" "I'll take the Hiten Mitsurugi Style as a souvenir when I go to the underworld..." "Hannya!" "What are..." "Sano, take care of Miss Kaoru and Yahiko!" "Kenshin!" "Hannya!" "Commander..." "Farewell!" "That's enough!" "Battousai!" "This is the end for you now." "Each and every one of them couldn't even scratch me and wasted their lives away..." "Die, Battousai!" "Kenshin!" "H-Help..." "If you're begging for your life..." "Why don't you ask your money, that you love so much?" "He did it!" "H-Help..." "Help..." "Help..." "Hel..." "Kenshin!" "Let's go, Miss Megumi is waiting!" "Yeah!" "All right!" "They did not waste their lives..." "Those four Oniwaban lives won over Kanryu's Gatling gun, that they did..." "Now..." "Dear Ken..." "Everyone..." "I'm really glad that I was able to meet people like you..." "Thank you..." "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "The sin of making opium, and making people suffer and die I can only repent with my death..." "Are you still saying that?" "Kenshin, Yahiko, and this girl here risked everything to save you." "Are you going to put to waste all this effort?" "You little idiot!" "But..." "Just because you die doesn't mean that the people you killed will come back to life..." "Instead, using this sword to save just one more soul is repentance in the true sense." "That is how Battousai the Manslayer lives to this very day, that it is." "Miss Megumi, you live in the area." "Come visit us any time!" "Thank you, Miss Kaoru." "Good luck, Megumi!" "Yes!" "I'll study with Dr. Gensai, and become a fine doctor!" "That way, I'm sure you'll be reunited with your family someday." "Then, everyone..." "Oh, we'll see you off for a bit!" "But I'm surprised you were able to clear her with the police, Kenshin." "Of course, that's because the police chief really trusts Kenshin!" "No matter what villains like Kanryu say, they're not gonna listen!" "But the real problem is that Aoshi Shinomori..." "I heard that neither he nor the four bodies of the Oniwaban were there by the time the cops arrived." "I wonder if he's still after Kenshin..." "Well..." "I don't know about that, that I don't..." "For now..." "For now, I can't place flowers here..." "But someday..." "I will be sure to..." "When seeing those eyes of yours with that gleam my heart skipped a beat that lazy afternoon." "My whole body felt nervous and verv stiff as if you were testing my love for you." "Feeling the point from the air and from you I shivered all over from my love for you." "A crunch on the sand, I bite down the grit." "I aim at your will as the day turns to night." "I am hoping soon you will use your delicious lips and let me have some of that good wine that's over there." "When they are united under the bright full moon a man and a woman will find true eternity." "Passionate lady, ah gimme your love." "Mysterious lady, I need your love." "The lonely eyes you show once in a great little while..." "I can't tell if it's the truth or just a lie." "Honestly lady, ah gimme your love." "Now feel it coming lady, I need your love." "I'm always thrown right around by all the things you always do." "The fervor of passionate love crazily dances within my heart." "Yahiko has faint feelings for someone else for the first time." "To protect a sweet girl, he gets into a serious fight alone." "You have to win, Yahiko!" "Next episode of Rurouni Kenshin..." "Please look forward to it!"
