The person who had sent Hajime to face Kenshin was none other than the Head of the Home Ministry, former Satsuma Domain Revolutionary warrior, Toshimichi Okubo. He asks Kenshin to go to Kyoto to stop the secret plans of a man who claims to be the legitimate successor of the Hitokiri Battosai. However, that man was supposed to have been killed 10 years ago by his own comrades in the government, as they regarded him as a threat. Receiving this request to conduct an assassination, what will Kenshin's answer be...?
Though unworthy, I would like to carry out
those middle ten years at any cost.
رغم كلّ العراقيل، آمل بكلّ تواضع
Ich möchte das zweite Jahrzehnt
dieser Periode
Aunque no creo estar a la altura,
mi intención es superar
Aunque no creo estar a la altura,
mi intención es superar
Malgré tous les obstacles,
je souhaite humblement
Anche se non ne sarò all'altezza, vorrei essere io
Posso não ser apto, mas quero eliminar
todos os problemas nesses dez anos.
Признаться, я надеюсь,
что никакие препятствия…
