It's been a week since the resolution of the crossroad killing case, in which the name of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryu was deceptively used. Although the name of Kamiya Dojo has been cleared, there's no sign of an increase in the number of Kaoru's students. Then a passing boy, Yahiko Myojin, pickpockets Kenshin's wallet. Kenshin gives him the wallet, saying that it was his fault for allowing it to get stolen. Yahiko is repulsed at being treated like a child, but he has a reason to collect the money.
The Sword Abolishment Act is in effect,
and the samurai have perished!
،مرسوم منع حمل السّيف قائم
!وما عاد هنالك وجود للسّاموراي
Las espadas están prohibidas
y los samuráis, extintos.
Se ha promulgado la Ley de Desarme
y ya no hay samuráis.
les armes sont bannies,
et les samouraïs, déclassés.
तलवार उन्मुलन अधिनियम
लागू हुआ है और समुराई नष्ट हो चुके हैं!
O Édito de Abolição da Espada está
em vigor e os samurais se foram!
Мечи теперь под запретом!
 Самураев не осталось!
