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 is only that until he dies."
".يظلّ الهيتوكيري كذلك حتّى يموت"
Ein Attentäter bleibt
bis zu seinem Tod ein Attentäter …
"Un Hitokiri lo será
hasta el día de su muerte".
Un asesino lo es hasta la muerte.
Un assassin reste un assassin
jusqu’à la mort.
"एक हितोकिरि मरते दम तक
हितोकिरि ही रहता है।"
Un hitokiri rimane tale fino alla morte.
No fim, um Retalhador é um Retalhador...
«Стоит раз ступить на эту дорожку —
и уже не сойдёшь никогда».
