Kenshin, Kaoru, and Yahiko visit Akabeko, a beef hot-pot restaurant, where a group of democratic rights activists gets into a heated argument. One of them throws a bottle of sake, and it hits Kenshin, causing a commotion. Sanosuke Sagara, who happened to be in the store during the quarrel, stood up and blew away the activists with a single flick to the forehead. Seeing Kenshin's strength, Sanosuke's curiosity is roused and he asks, "You wanna buy a fight from me?"
Why did a merciless manslayer
turn into a rurouni that refuses to kill?
لماذا أمسى قاتلٌ بلا رمحةٍ مثلكَ
روروني يرفض القتل؟
oder wie aus einem skrupellosen Mörder
ein pazifistischer Vagabund wurde,
Ni la causa por la que el cruel asesino
se volvió un vagabundo pacífico.
ni por qué un despiadado asesino
ahora se niega a matar.
ou des raisons qui t’ont fait passer
de tueur à vagabond pacifique.
क्यों एक निर्दयी हत्यारा ऐसा रुरौनि
बन गया जो जान लेने से मना करता है?
né perché lo spietato hitokiri
 sia diventato un vagabondo.
nem por que um retalhador impiedoso
virou um andarilho que não mata.
Почему жестокий Баттосай Убийца
стал миролюбивым бродягой?
