「牙を剥く狼」 (Kiba o Muku Ookami”)
“The Wolf’s Fang”
Ultimately, the real battle here is not between the Battousai and the Shinsengumi captain, but between the Battousai and the Rurouni.

「蘇る狼」 (Yomigaeru Ookami)
“Resurrection of the Wolf”
In many ways, this is the moment when Rurouni Kenshin really begins.

「本物の勇者」 (Honmono no yuusha)
“A Real Hero”
I definitely think the less conventional Sousou no Frieren is, the better it fares.

「強い魔法使い」 (Tsuyoi mahoutsukai)
“Strong Mage”
It’s just a good thing for this story’s human race that Frieren chose to be on their side most of the time.

「津南と錦絵」 (Tsunan to Nishiki-e)
“Tsunan & Nishiki Paintings”
There are many different paths Kenshin could have chosen to express his dismay over the state of the world and his role in it.

「断頭台のアウラ」 (Dantōdai no Aura)
“Aura the Guillotine”
So it was actually a battle shounen all along?
