Rating: - One Vengence Arc is Completed
In this long awaited set of episodes, Sano completes his fight with Anji, and Saito fights Usui, but the real drama comes from a suprise "vengence" fight between Kenshin and Aoshi. Aoshi swore to kill Kenshin (or be killed) way back in episode fifteen, and finally gets his chance to avenge the slaughtered members of his group. Kenshin, however, is restrained by a promise to bring Aoshi back to Misau. When Aoshi launches a "no holds barred" attack--can Kenshin defeat him without reverting back to Battousi the Man Slayer? Meanwhile, just to keep you on your toes, three members of the Juppengata turn up with 150 armed soldiers to take out Kauro, Yahito, and Misau... and grandpa cannot help them because of his previous fight with Aoshi! Will Kenshin's master arrive to save the day... or is all lost? This series of episodes is packed with suprises! It's a must!!!! (...)
Rating: - Tons of Battles!!
The continuation of Sano's fight with Anji isn't over. Just as we thought the big guy was KO'd, he's back and ready more than ever. However, this isn't the only fight in this DVD. We get to see Kaoru and Yahiko fight against the rest of Shishio's group. Kenshin fights against Aoshi in a bookroom and Saito fights against Usui, the blind guy. This DVD contains 5 episodes filled with great fights. You won't want to miss it!
Rating: - 100% Kenshin Goodness!
In my humble opinion, the episodes on this DVD are the pinnacle of all that is good in the Kenshin universe, excluding perhaps the final battle with Shishio. It begins by continuing the Sanosuke vs. Anji fight. The two battered men continue to attack each other savagely, and the tragic past of Anji the monk is revealed. Then, Saito, who hasn't seen much serious action for many episodes, faces Usui, the blind warrior. However, it's not an easy fight; he finds that his gatotsu is ineffective, as Usui easily predicts his attacks and counters with incredible accuracy. Meanwhile, Kenshin goes to face the third combatant, Sojiro the Tenken, but he is met with an unexpected challenger. The time has come for the destined rematch between Kenshin and Aoshi Shinomori. Aoshi, who has thrown away everything he values in order to defeat the Battousai, proves to be an extremely powerful opponent. His swift, fierce attacks with his double kodachi overpower Kenshin, who quickly realizes that he isn't facing the same Aoshi from the Kanryuu estate. To make things worse, the Aoi-ya is being attacked by five of the Juppongatana. If you've been disappointed with the previous Kenshin discs because there hasn't been much action, this one's gonna give you a swift kick in the arse and then slap you around a few times. The animation in these episodes is excellent, and you get a new closing sequence in addition to the regular extras. You even get five episodes instead of the usual four! Buy this disc, you'll want to watch this one over and over again.
