Kaoru, Kenshin, and Yahiko visit Maekawa Dojo for a training session. The dojo is very lively, and Kaoru's training is well-received by the students of other sword styles. Then a swordsman named Isurugi Raijuta breaks in. He says he is concerned about the future of sword art, and the man, carrying only an actual sword, dismisses the idea of a bamboo sword match. In order to defeat the challenger, Maekawa, the master of Maekawa Dojo, takes on Raijuta, but...
However, if the future is one
where murderous swords thrive,
ولكن إن كان ذلك المستقبل
،مستقبل يزدهر فيه القتل بالسّيف
Aber wenn es eine Zukunft
mit mörderischen Schwertern ist,
Pero si ese futuro se trata de fomentar
artes asesinas, prefiero que no llegue.
Pero si ese futuro implica fomentar
el matar, prefiero que desaparezca.
Seulement,
si son avenir est semé d’assassinats,
Ma se sarà il Satsujin-ken a prevalere
nei prossimi anni,
Mas se o que quer é o êxito da
espada que mata, eu não quero.
Но мне и даром не нужен мир,
где расцветут школы убийственного меча!
