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.

I will not deny that the basic nature
of swordsmanship is murder.
.لن أنكر أنّ الطّبيعية الأساسيّة للمسايفة هي القتل

de la esgrima es el asesinato.

Não nego a essência da arte
da espada que é o assassinato.
Нет, конечно, все мечи ковались для того,
чтобы убивать.
