Story: Episode 42

Kenshin and his allies realize that Shishio has another target in Osaka. Sanosuke soon joins them, and Kenshin sends a letter to the Aoiya members requesting their cooperation to prevent the Great Kyoto Fire. He entrusts the command of the Kyoto defense to Police Chief Rysaku Arato.

After completing their preparations, the three board a carriage heading toward Osaka Bay. Meanwhile, an elderly police officer, Hikozemon Omi, arrives with an 11-year-old boy, Juro Kitazawa, who requests a meeting with Arato.
