Episode 4 - Bad! Introducing Sanosuke, Fighter-for-hire

Here’s episode 4 of Rurouni Kenshin. It starts off with Kaoru playing a game involving juggling bean bags while singing a song (I forgot the game’s name..=.=..). Once again, Yahiko insulted her and was chased around the house. Eventually they stopped and asked Kenshin the menu for today. After they complained of not having good food to eat, Kaoru went into berserk mode and ransacked her whole storeroom for a piece of valuable painting by her grandfather in order to sell it for money to eat beef-hot-pot.

When they were eating, they overheard three desperadoes of democracy arguing. They managed to throw a bowl at Kenshin who did not block to protect Kaoru. (hinted by Sanosuke in the middle of the ep) Yahiko ended up fighting with them and when Tae-san (the waitress..i think) tried to stop them, she gt pushed back by one of the desperadoes. Luckily, Sanosuke caught her. Together, Kenshin and Sanosuke easily drive the three desperadoes away. When Sanosuke invited Kenshin for a battle, Kenshin politely refused. (how typical of Kenshin^^)

Late in the night, one of the sore losers beaten by Kenshin in the earlier episodes hired Sanosuke to fight will Kenshin. It was revealed that Sanosuke was known as Zanza, the fighter-for-hire, in the underworld. It seems that almost everyone feared Sanosuke in the underworld (that proved how strong he is…and handsome too…!!!). When Sanosuke heard that his opponent was Battousai or known as Kenshin, he eagerly agreed.

Kenshin noticed Sanosuke once he stepped through the gate (nice sense Kenshin!!) , and welcomed him. They sort of had a reasoning talk before fighting each other. In the end, their fight was stopped as there were children around. Unfortunately to the sore loser, that was defeated by Kenshin during the last few episodes, he was crushed under a tree branch cut by Kenshin. (who told you to peek..lolz..serve you right!!) The episode ends with Kenshin asking Sanosuke why does he hate Imperialists so much…ooo..it seems that Sanosuke’s past is linked to the imperialists. I’m so gonna find out during the next episode …
