Knowing how strong Kenshin was when he was the Hitokiri Battosai, Jine takes Kaoru hostage in order to fuel Kenshin's anger. The two engage in a fierce battle. However, Jine, believing that Kenshin has not yet regained his former strength, inflicts the Nikaido Heiho "Shin no Ippo" on Kaoru, causing her to stop breathing. With only two minutes until Kaoru dies of asphyxiation - Kenshin's anger reaches its peak.
Until I die, I am a rurouni
who refuses to kill, that I am.
.أنا روروني يرفض القتل حتّى أموت
Bis zu meinem Tod
Seré el vagabundo que juró no matar
hasta el día de mi muerte.
Hasta mi muerte,
Je resterai à jamais
मरते दम तक मैं एक रुरौनि रहूँगा
जो जान लेने से मना करता है, वह तो है।
Fino a quando non morirò, 
sarò un samurai vagabondo che non uccide nessuno.
Até que eu morra,
До самой своей смерти…
я буду обыкновенным бродягой.
