Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan – Kyoto Douran – Episode 06 Review
「森の出会い」 (Mori no Deai)
“Encounter in the Forest”
It’s obvious where everyone is going to end up – Kyoto – but their journeys are a major component of the story.

「再び京都へ」 (Futatabi Kyōto e)
“To Kyoto, Once More”
There are times when the purity of Kenshin’s pathos really gets to me, and this is one of them.
「野心家の肖像」 (Yashinka no Shouzou)
“Portrait of the Ambitious”
Obviously, this is a watershed episode for Rurouni Kenshin.
「⾒捨てられた村」 (Misuterareta Mura)
“The Abandoned Village”
The true impact of Shishio Makoto on the story begins to be felt.
「明治東海道中」 (Meiji Tōkaidou-chuu)
“On the East Sea Road”
I’m just going to tell myself it’s three cours until I know it isn’t.
「京都へ」 (Kyouto e)
“To Kyoto”
We’re revisiting what’s probably (along with Evangelion) the single-most formative story in animanga for me as a fan.
「明治十一年五月十四日」 (Meiji Jūichinen Gogatsu Jūyokka)
“Meiji 11, May 14th”
Rurouni Kenshin really begins from here, and one can’t judge this version of the series until it has a chance to show the best it has to offer.
「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.
「明治剣客浪漫譚 第零幕 後編」 (Meiji Kenkaku Roman Tan Dai Rei-maku Kouhen)
“Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story: Act Zero – Part Two”
Apparently Western imports through Yokohama didn’t include the Hippocratic Oath.
