Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan

What was that about the Oniwaban Group or the legendary manslayer?

The true strongest is yours truly!

There is nothing more wonderful in this world than money!

Die!

What the hell is that?

A Gatling gun!

Shikijo!

- Wha— - Now!

Run, Battosai!

Which... Which one should be the target?

Damn it, I'll start off with the immobile Aoshi!

I won't let you do that!

Eat this!

Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!

Shikijo!

BATTLE'S END By NaShWaN AL-YeMeN 2023

Shikij—

Whoa. Don't look at me like that.

That's so not like you.

I'm pretty satisfied.

I was able to prove that my muscles,

my pride and joy that I even took drugs to obtain,

could become a shield that can win against bullets.

It's just like what you said back then.

I am invincible...

Shikijo.

That sack of meat will be broken to smithereens

with 200-bullet consecutive firing!

Whoa, hold it right there!

Hyottoko right here will take you on!

Wha—

Whoa! Don't shoot! If you shoot too carelessly,

this sack of oil will catch fire and go boom!

Brace yourself!

I'll be right there!

D-Don't come here!

You fell for it.

If I can't aim for the gut, I'll just aim everywhere else!

Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!

Hyottoko!

You're the one that fell for it...

- Wha— - Take this!

Dokusatsu Rasenbyo!

Beshimi!

Leader... it didn't work after all.

Apologies. To the very end...

we were useless.

Beshimi. Hyottoko.

Whew, close. That was close.

If a street performance like that did me in,

it wouldn't even be a joke.

But now I know for sure!

Oniwaban are all useless, no matter how many of you there are!

From here on, it's the era of the Gatling!

The ruler of the Gatling will be the ruler of the world,

and I will be its pioneer!

Damn you!

Battosai.

How many seconds will it take you

to pick up that Sakabato and slice into Kanryu?

Fifteen.

No, if I have 10 seconds...

10 seconds?

That's going to be a bit rough.

For what?

Look.

Beyond that door is a small lookout tower.

Megumi Takani is confined there.

Han'nya?

It's not like I wasn't thinking about that woman.

It just happened that Lord Aoshi was more precious to me.

I'm trusting you to take care of the rest, Himura Battosai.

Wait, Han'nya!

Hey, he's been beaten again.

He's still quite far from being an opponent for our leader.

Well, if we work him a bit harder, he might be of some use.

Don't stare at me so much. You're ruining my concentration.

WINDY RUSSIAN EMPEROR SEAL

We're just giving you advice.

WINDY RUSSIAN EMPEROR SEAL

That's right. You should feel thankful.

Don't cause too much trouble for our leader.

Sheesh. Each and every one of you...

Are you in pain?

No.

Compared to the life I've had so far, this is basically nothing.

I see. But it's better if you don't smile too much during training.

You create an opening.

Was I smiling?

It looked that way to me.

Was I smiling?

Using the monster-face as a decoy to attack.

A tactic you'd expect from a hitokiri.

But in the end, every last one of them died in vain!

Years of training is useless! Useless in front of the Gatling!

Useless trash! Trash! Rubbish!

Oh, I'm so glad I was able to buy the Gatling!

Hooray, me! Hooray, Gatling!

Hooray, money!

Die!

- Kenshin! - Kenshin!

Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!

Look closely at what you have.

It fires 200 rounds every minute.

If you shoot without thinking of consequences, you soon will...

I'm out of bullets?

Their deaths were not in vain.

The lives of the four members of Oniwaban Group

were victorious over your Gatling gun.

H-Help m—

If you're begging for your life, just ask your money that you love so much!

As I'd expect from you, Kenshin.

Even when you're pissed, you still uphold the refusal to kill.

Leave him alone for now, that you should.

You're right.

Kenshin!

I'm fine.

I just faltered a little bit, that I did.

Let's hurry.

Miss Megumi is waiting for us.

Yeah.

Aoshi Shinomori. You're quite a strong one if you can injure Kenshin this much.

But in this battle, the wounds that you suffered were a lot bigger.

The gunshots are over.

What in the world...

- Argh! So irritating! - Argh! So irritating!

All right! No ambushers!

Yahiko. Sanosuke.

Sorry to make you wait, that is.

Ken-san...

Those wounds...

I had a tiny bit of trouble, that I did.

But more so, I am glad you didn't suffer any major wounds, that I am.

I'm sorry.

I dragged you into this mess,

and on top of that, I had you face danger.

But please rest assured.

The source of the disaster will be eliminated soon.

Miss Megumi!

With the single thought of wanting to see my family,

I have been regretfully living my life.

But I am truly glad that I was able to meet all of you

in the last, final moments.

Wait!

Thank you.

Huh?

You stupid wench!

For your sake, Kenshin and Yahiko devoted themselves to rescuing you!

And you want to ruin all of their efforts?

Jeez!

But there's nothing I can do.

So many people are in agony because of my opium,

and yet I'm trying to be the only one to avoid punishment.

Kenshin, this ain't good!

It's the cops!

They heard all the ruckus and came over!

We gotta get out of here quick!

Come on! Don't just stand there!

Hey!

Ken-san.

This is a family recipe, to stop bleeding.

Treat the deep wound on your chest with this.

Then hurry to a doctor.

Kanryu built a secret passageway up in the attic.

You can go through there to get out of here.

Thank you for all you have done.

The penalty for illicit production of opium is death.

You are saying that while being aware of that fact, that you are?

Yes. People have died because of the opium I made.

I can't allow myself to get away from here now.

RUROUNI KENSHIN

Captain, we found an illicit production area underground!

All right, investigate!

Sheesh. We had been spying on them,
