Kenshin receives a request from the police chief, asking for his help to take down "Kurogasa," a serial killer who has been repeatedly targeting former Revolutionary warriors. Kenshin and Sanosuke go to escort Jusanro Tani, who received a letter containing a death threat. As warned in the letter, at 1:00 a.m. sharp, Kurogasa appears. His true identity was Jine Udo, a vagabond slayer who had made a name for himself in the assassination business since the Bakumatsu Era.
If I don't put an end to Kurogasa's evildoings,
more people will be unfortunate...
،إن لم أضع حدًّا لشرور كوروغاسا
...فسيموت الكثير من النّاس للأسف
Ich muss Kurogasas bösen Taten
ein Ende setzen.
Si no le pongo fin a la maldad
del Sombrero Negro,
Si no pongo fin
a las fechorías de Kurogasa,
Si le Chapeau noir continue de sévir,
अगर मैं कुरोगासा के बुरे काम खतम ना कर दूँ
तो और भी लोग दुर्भाग्य के बलि बनेंगे…
Se non fermeremo la furia omicida 
di Cappello Nero,
Если я не остановлю Курогасу,
несчастных в мире станет только больше.
