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...
You're the first one that didn't fall over
أنت أوّل من لم يسقط
Es ist das erste Mal,
dass ich jemanden sehe,
Eres el primero que no cae después
de haber recibido el Ryutsuisen.
Eres el primero que ha aguantado en pie
Tu es le premier homme
à ne pas s’effondrer
तुम पहले इंसान हो
Siete il primo a non essere crollato 
dopo aver preso in pieno il "Colpo del drago martellante".
Você é o primeiro homem
И первый, кто сумел устоять на ногах
