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.
A hitokiri slays men on his own will.
.هيتوكيري يقتل النّاس بملء إرادته
Attentäter töten aus freiem Willen,
Un Hitokiri mata por su propia voluntad.
Un asesino mata por voluntad propia.
Un tueur commet ses basses œuvres
de son plein gré,
एक हितोकिरि अपनी मर्जी
से लोगों की जान लेता है।
Un hitokiri uccide di propria volontà.
Um retalhador mata as
pessoas por vontade própria.
Мы, наёмники,
по своей воле губим людей.
