The battle to decide the fate of Meiji-era swordsmanship has begun Action, romance, and historical intrigue help make Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin, the tale of a wandering swordsman set against the backdrop of the Meiji Restoration, one of the most popular Shonen Jump titles among fans to date. Himura Kenshin, once an assassin (or hitokiri ) of ferocious power, now fights to protect the honor of those in need. In order to discover more about the relationship that binds Kenshin and Enishi, Sait Hajime makes a surprise appearance at Kamiya Dojo--only to find the aftermath of Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Yahiko's desperate life-or-death battles with Enishi's cabal of fighters. One member of the "Six Comrades" remains standing--the mysterious and deadly Yatsume Mumy i. Will the strength of Sait Gatotsu be enough to fell this freakish warrior-of-the-shadows?

"I Can't See Him Losing..."
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Two Comrades remain on the Battlefield:the disfigured and deadly Yatsume Mumyoi, and the Ringleader himself,Enishi. With this intsallment we have the "official" return of Saito Hajime to the fight to do battle with Meiji Era Venom(well he does look like him and referring to himself in the third person afew volumes back didn't help ^.^).While it's nice to have one of the most intriguing characters in the Series back,he doesn't really have much to do outside of his own fight.I hope he has more involement with the remaining volumes.On a sidenote,I was abit surprised to see Saito actually talk to Kaoru and vice versa(strange). After that conflict comes the match everyone has been waiting for:Kenshin vs. Enishi. Enishi still has some tricks up his sleeves and he can actually fight Kenshin on equal terms(!)thanks to a way that combines a Japanese Sword with Mainland Asian Kenjutsu.Once again,that's too many moments to ruin here,but THIS fight is just the first course with a cliffhanger which will leave you wanting the next volume right away.Highly recommanded!!!
