Episode Title:
Kasshin-ryu – Reborn
Episode Description:
The yakuza beat Yahiko and mock his late parents until Kenshin reaches the area and intimidates the leader into releasing him. Learning from the child that he wants to be strong to protect his parents' reputation, Kenshin decides to make Yahiko the next student of Kaoru's Kasshin-Ryu. However, following his recovery, he remains rebellious towards Kaoru. When two students appear asking for Kaoru's help due to being involved in a fight with bandits, Yahiko realizes the students were drunk and had caused the confrontation. Nevertheless, Kaoru takes responsibility, earning Yahiko's respect as he decides to fight alongside her. Kenshin then returns to the dojo, scares the bandits, and tells Kaoru's former students never to wield a sword again. Despite Kaoru and Kenshin's specific thoughts about their beliefs, they change their mind when Yahiko picks up his wooden sword and starts cleaning up the place.
