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...?
I didn't think someone as big as Okubo
from the Home Ministry would show up.
ما علاقة شخصيّة بارزة مثل أوكوبو في هذه المسألة؟
Dass ein hohes Tier wie der
Innenminister Ōkubo darin verwickelt ist …
No pensé que alguien como Okubo
se involucraría en esto.
Jamás pensé que alguien como Okubo
estaría implicado en esto.
Que vient faire un grand personnage
comme Ôkubo dans cette affaire ?
Non avrei mai pensato che ci fosse di mezzo 
un pezzo grosso come Okubo.
Não achei que um dos grandes
como o ministro iria se envolver.
Я не ожидал, что в это дело впутана
такая большая шишка, как Окубо!
