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...
I'm just plain old Sanosuke Sagara,
a guy that likes to fight.
،أنا الآن ساغارا سانوسكي فحسب
.رجل يحبّ القتال
Ich bin nur noch
der Raufbold Sagara Sanosuke.
Ya solo soy Sanosuke Sagara,
el que está loco por las peleas,
Je suis Sanosuke Sagara,
un simple mordu de la baston.
अब मैं बस वही पूराना सानोसुके सागारा हूँ,
ऐसा शख्स जिसे लड़ना पसंद है।
Adesso sarò soltanto 
l'attaccabrighe Sanosuke Sagara,
Теперь я всего лишь
обычный драчун Саноскэ Сагара.
