Story: Episode 33

Among the Juppongatana, Cho Sawagejo is known as the "Sword Hunter" and wields a number of peculiar blades. Kenshin, struggling with a broken reverse-blade sword, finds himself in a tough battle. Yet, he fights on, risking his life for Iori, Seiku's son, and for the peace of the new era. Kenshin's words, "It is not the 'sword' that creates the era, but the 'people' who wield it," touch Seiku's heart, leading him to finally entrust Kenshin with the last sword forged by Shakku.
