Rurouni Kenshin Season 2 Episode 1 Recap

Rurouni Kenshin season 2 episode 1 began with a flashback of Kenshin confronted by Hajime Saito after bidding farewell to Kaoru. Saito offered Kenshin assistance and counsel, which he declined.

We then shifted to Sanosuke, who expressed his frustration over Kenshin’s departure. He visited his pal Tsunan Tsukioka to gather supplies for their journey to Kyoto, accompanied by Yahiko.

Yahiko was soon followed by Saito, who warned them that they would be nothing but burdens to Kenshin in Kyoto. He argued that they would be incapable of defending themselves against the adversaries they would encounter, potentially putting Kenshin in danger.

This led to a confrontation between Saito and Sanosuke, resulting in no significant injuries, but Sanosuke earned some mutual respect from Saito. Yahiko and Sanosuke soon encountered Megumi Takani, who visited the Kamiya dojo to check on Kaoru. Though tough at first, Megumi ultimately inspired Kaoru to overcome her sorrow following Kenshin’s departure.

Thanks to her encouragement, Yahiko and Sanosuke managed to persuade Kaoru to journey to Kyoto with them and seek out Kenshin. The episode concluded with a glimpse of Kenshin on his way to Kyoto.

What to Expect from Rurouni Kenshin Season 2 Episode 2 (Speculative)

Rurouni Kenshin season 2 episode 2 will likely start with Kenshin making his way to Kyoto on foot. He is expected to encounter and help people along the way, showcasing his characteristic kindness, while also gaining insights into the broader impact of Makoto Shishio’s emergence. This might lead to Kenshin engaging with one of Shishio’s generals, possibly one of the lesser-known and weaker ones.

Fans can look forward to a good amount of action in episode 2, with potential scenes of Kenshin reverting to his Hitokiri Battousai persona. At the very least, Kenshin might uncover Shishio’s whereabouts from this general, setting the stage for their later confrontation in season 2. The episode may wrap up with a brief look at Kaoru and her companions, potentially coinciding with the individuals Kenshin has already helped.
