「翔ぶが如く」 (Tobu ga Gotoku)
“As If in Flight”

Wheels are in motion, things are happening.

「もう一つの目的」 (Mou Hitotsu no Mokuteki)
“The Other Objective”

It’s worth noting that in addition to being a genius with the blade, Kenshin is also a brilliant strategist.

「十本刀集結」 (Juppongatana Shuuketsu)
“The Ten Swords Summoned”

In an arc full of nuanced emotional moments, this is one of the most powerful.

「生と死の間で…」 (Sei to Shi no Hazama de…)
“Between Life and Death”

This is one of the great character apotheosis moments in manga, elegant and poetic and totally true to the story.

「操の決意」 (Misao no Ketsui)
“Misao’s Decision”

No Kenshin, no problem.

「蒼紫対翁」 (Aoshi tai Okina)
“Aoshi vs. Okina”

The growing pool of evidence is that this adaptation is up to the massive task that was laid before it.

「修羅の会合」 (Shura no Kaigou)
“Meeting of the Warlords”

Yes, worlds are definitely colliding here.

「比古清十郎」 (Hiko Seijuurou”)
“Seijuro Hiko”

We’re in rarified air at this point, that’s for sure.

「逆刃刀 初撃」 (Sakabatou Shougeki)
“Sakabato First Attack”

By managing to meaningfully embellish a deeply beloved and well-established story this episode is something of a revelation.

「禁忌の抜刀」 (Kinki no Battou)
“Drawing of the Forbidden”

To me, only one question really stands out here.
