Rurouni Kenshin (1996) s01e06 Episode Script

1
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
Wandering Samurai
D-YFI
Rurouni Kenshin
P-Please.
I'll pay whatever money you want.
Please spare my life
M-My legs
Die.
The Appearance of Kurogasa
Visitor From The Darkness
So, how is it, everyone?
So, how is it?
I rolled up my sleeves for this!
Say something!
Oh, Sanosuke is drooling
all over because it's so good!
Just kidding.
Disgusting.
It's bitter
It's too spicy
Don't cry!
To live on, people have
to tolerate some things!
Kenshin
It must be tough for you
if it's like this everyday
N-No, Miss Kaoru's cooking is good
It tastes better each
time I eat, that it does.
It's not food from a strange land
If you have complaints, don't come here!
You come here for free
food every day anyway!
I quit fighting for money, so I'm broke!
Don't be so petty!
Really!
What is with this!
I'm sorry to interrupt here
Oh, you're
The Chief of Police.
The police chief?
I apologize for causing so
much trouble the other day.
And what is it today, that is?
Mr. Himura
I come here today to ask for a favor.
This is a problem
concerning federal authority.
An incident that has been kept
away from newspapers for ten years.
Please, I want you to
defeat a serial murderer.
A serial murderer?
Known as Kurogasa
A swordsman of amazing skill.
For the past 10 years, he has
only gone after big-name politicians.
And they are all Imperialists.
Imperialists?
He announces his
targets before going to work.
First he slices
through the police guard
and kills bystanders as
if he enjoyed slaying men
Among the victims have been
countless women and children.
That's horrible.
Why can't you just shoot him?
Police gunmen are on guard every time.
However, everyone is slain
before they pull their guns
Before they pull their guns?
That man called Kurogasa
He must be a manslayer from the
revolution like myself, that he is
Even ten years into the Meiji era
his heart is taken by
the smell and color of blood.
He can not stop being a manslayer.
Poor man, that he is.
Soon!
Soon it will be midnight, when
Kurogasa claimed he would strike!
I'm counting on you!
The one who slays him will be
rewarded whatever money he wants!
Leave it to us, Mr. Tani.
We'll kill the murderer.
It's all right!
I'll take him down!
I don't like these guys.
But, why are you here?
Dammit.
I won't let you hog such
a fun fight by yourself!
It's not a fight
But all of 'em were slain
before they could pull out their guns!
What does it mean?
It probably
Do you have a clue?
By any chance, do
you know who Kurogasa is?
It's midnight!
It's time!
W-Who is it?
W-What is it?
L-It's not from in here, it's outside!
He's coming!
I'll take the front with Sanosuke!
Everyone, follow us!
H-He's not coming
W-Was it just a prank?
Here they are
Little bugs with no lives.
One, two, three
About 14 or 15
Less than I thought there would be.
T-Those eyes
He's too dangerous!
I'll deal with him.
I trust you with Mr. Tani!
G-Go!
Whoever defeats him will
be paid five times over!
I'll get you into the
army as an officer, too!
Five times!
Officer!
All right, he's mine!
I will have it!
Idiots!
Are you going to throw
away your lives for greed?
This is a good feeling
I won't let you escape!
T-This is
That man called Kurogasa
He must be a manslayer from the
revolution like myself, that he is
Why is it that I get a bad feeling?
L-I can't move my body!
It's wrong to run away.
Once men draw swords, they must
face each other until someone dies.
It's not fun otherwise.
W-What the hell did you do?
Oh, you can still move?
You aren't as weak as I thought.
What would you like me to cut off?
Your arm?
Or your head?
Nikaidou Method, Shin-no-ippou.
Another name for it being
"The technique of freezing in fear!"
So it was you!
I heard rumors in
Kyoto during the Revolution.
One who could targets by forcing
energy from his eyes into theirs!
The user of Shin-no-ippou.
Rogue manslayer, Jinei Udoh!
I have also heard of a legendary
Imperialist using Hiten Mitsurugi Style.
A manslayer with a large
cross-shaped scar on his left cheek!
Himura, the Battousai!
This is fun, I haven't had
this much fun in some time.
To think that I
would meet the Battousai
The days of Revolution
that I long for have returned.
I no longer care for pigs
rotting in money and power.
I change my target to you!
The one who was
the strongest Imperialist!
Kenshin!
Shin-no-ippou is a competition of wills!
If my swordsman's spirit is at
your level, I will not fall pray to it!
You slew many men during the Revolution.
Just to see blood,
regardless of foe or ally
However
now is a time of peace.
The Revolution, a time when
murder was common, is over, that it is!
Open your eyes!
For yourself!
I doubt my own ears
Battousai the merciless manslayer,
who froze men's blood from fear.
Kenshin is no longer a manslayer!
Since the Revolution, he decided
that he will not kill ever again!
He's not like you!
You idiot!
Jinei!
Kenshin!
Boring, truly boring.
You're nothing like what you were
during the Revolution, as the Battousai.
When a manslayer stops slaying men
When you don't kill
anyone for ten years
You should realize how much your
swordsman's spirit will go down!
Oh
I can move again.
I will give you one day.
By then, return to who you used to be!
Become again the
manslayer who froze men's blood!
I want to kill that
Battousai from the Revolution!
Jinei!
Dammit
That guy has totally lost it.
You've became the target now.
I don't care.
This works out better, that it does.
You
You accepted the offer
knowing that this would happen?
He does seem to have a point.
Right now, there is no way
for me to win against him.
However, I will defeat him
As someone who also lived as
a manslayer during the Revolution
This battle is a part of my life that
I cannot continue to avoid, that is.
It looks like
I'm completely out of the picture.
Sano, I have a favor to ask.
Please relay a message to Miss Kaoru.
Sheesh
That isn't the face a girl
her age should show others.
She said she was worried about
Kenshin last night, and couldn't sleep.
I see.
That's a funny face!
Welcome back.
Yeah, I'm back.
Hey.
Wait, where's Kenshin?
Kenshin won't be comin' back.
Not coming back?
He's to throwing
everything away to fight Kurogasa.
Throw everything away?
If he came back and saw
your faces, his heart would soften.
He wanted to stay away
for a while, and concentrate.
Otherwise, he can't defeat that monster.
so he said.
I think he's trying to come as close
as he can to becoming a manslayer again.
Hey, where are you
Where else?
I'm going to look for Kenshin!
Don't be so stupid!
Are you going to get in his way?
Kurogasa is many times
stronger than his other opponents!
If Kenshin
If Kenshin doesn't come back
again, what are we going to do?
Yes, I'm sure he's
not going to come back!
If he defeats Kurogasa, he
will return to his old self
And he's gonna go off wandering again!
Though I don't know when I'll
leave again, because I am a wanderer
Father and Mother passed away
And if Kenshin leaves now
I don't want to be alone again.
No, I don't!
W-Wait!
K-Kaoru!
Where did she go?
It's because she's so worried
about being separated from Kenshin.
What a selfish girl!
But then, love and
selfishness can't be seperated
In any case, we have to find her!
Yeah.
We don't know what she could be doing.
We have to get her!
Can I win with
a reverse-blade sword?
Kenshin!
I found you!
She's scarier than Jinei, that she is
I heard the story.
I'm not going back
to the school, either.
I'll stay here with you.
You heard about Jinei, that you did?
I heard.
But I'm not going back.
If I fight while protecting someone
I cannot possibly win against Jinei.
Miss Kaoru?
My favorite indigo ribbon
I'll lend it to you, Kenshin.
Even if I borrow it, I have
Just borrow it!
Yes!
All right, I'm just lending it to you!
You have to return it!
If you go on a journey after you fight
Jinei, and forget to return it
I won't forgive you.
All right.
I promise I will return
to the school with this.
So rest assured and
wait there, that you should.
All right.
That's a promise
Ken
Miss Kaoru!
I see 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!
When seeing those
eyes of yours with that gleam
my heart skipped a
beat that lazy afternoon.
My whole body felt nervous and very 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.
Jinei Udoh, manslayer hungry for blood.
Kenshin came to save me
when I was kidnapped by him
but he seems different than usual.
No, Kenshin!
Don't go back to your Battousai self!
