Kenshin Vs Sanosuke

The episode introduces a new member, Sanosuke, to Kenshin's group. The fight between them unfolds in two parts, with the first one happening at midnight but getting interrupted. The final showdown occurs at a different time to avoid interference. During the battle, we learn about Sanosuke's past until he is eventually defeated. This marks the last time he uses his zanbato in the anime.

The battle serves as a good introduction to Kenshin's new ally, showcasing Sanosuke's strength. His ability to wield a weapon much larger and heavier than himself demonstrates his power. Additionally, his resilience in taking hits from Kenshin highlights his endurance and determination in battle. Although Sanosuke is still not as strong as Kenshin, the fight sets a solid foundation for him to improve his fighting skills gradually.
