Kenshin confronts Sanosuke, who wields the giant Zanbato with ease. However, Sanosuke shows his incredible durability after withstanding a strike from Kenshin with ease. This leads Kenshin to instead launch a barrage of blows at him, and Sanosuke falls to the ground. For a moment it looked as if victory has been decided. However, while Sanosuke is in a daze, he recalls the reason for his obsession with victory, his past from ten years ago when he was in the Sekiho Army...
He's a rurouni that keeps freely
protecting people with his sword!
!إنّه روروني يواصل حماية النّاس بسيفه بكلّ حرّيّة
um andere zu beschützen, ohne Rücksicht
auf das Prestige eines Amtes!
Es un vagabundo que defiende
al pueblo con total libertad.
Es un vagabundo que protege
a la gente con su espada.
C’est un vagabond
qui protège les gens.

 a proteggere gli altri con la sua spada!
dos oficiais e protege o povo
livremente com sua espada!
Он бродяга, который самолично
защищает нуждающихся!
