Appearance of Kurogasa
When government officials start getting murdered by an assassin called Kurogasa, Kenshin is asked to protect a certain government official. Sano, never one to miss a fight, goes with Kenshin.
After seeing the assassin, Kenshin realizes that the assassin is Udou Jine, an outcast of the Shinsengumi. Jine was cast out from the Shinsengumi because he killed people for pleasure, not for the Shinsengumi cause. When Jine finds Kenshin, he realizes he has found someone who he can enjoy fighting against. He tells Kenshin to go back to being a Hitokiri (assassin) because if Kenshin doesn’t, he will never be able to beat Jine, and Jine will keep killing people.
Jine kidnaps Kaoru, hoping this will speed up the process of Kenshin becoming a Hitokiri once more.
this is one of my favorite ones!!!!
Yes! This is prob my favorite episode out of the first season by far. I love it when he starts to step over to the assassin in him. You get to see why his name is a legend and I also like it when they start revealing parts of his past!
