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. In order to defeat the challenger, Maekawa, the master of Maekawa Dojo, takes on Raijuta, but...
I am a swordsman myself,
even if not much of one.
.أنا أيضًا سيّاف وإن لم أكن الأفضل
Ich bin selbst ein Schwertkämpfer …
Siempre me he dedicado
a ser un espadachín.
He vivido siendo siempre un espadachín.
Comme tout expert en sabre,
Io sono uno spadaccino,
Sendo um praticante desta arte,
fico triste com o futuro das espadas.
Не забывай, я и сам всё-таки воин…
