Saga 9: The Strongest Group of Ninjas

Megumi's secret past is revealed as she works to save the life of Yahiko from a deadly poison. When she then tries to sacrifice herself to Kanryu to keep Sanosuke and the others at the Kamiya school safe, Sanosuke must make a fateful decision: let his friend rest in peace, or save Megumi from the Oniwaban group?

Kenshin has reached the final obstacle, Aoshi, but this manslayer is like none of his previous opponents. Master of the short sword that can nullify Kenshin's speed, Aoshi is nearly undefeatable. Determined to earn the title of "Strongest Man" at all costs, he will fight Kenshin to the death.

Saga 12: The Birth of a Boy Swordsman

Tsubame, a new waitress at the Akabeko, is pretty and just about Yahiko's age, but her past hides a dark secret. Blackmailed by a group of thugs, Tsubame needs help, so Kenshin decides to use this situation to teach Yahiko the truth behind using a sword to protect people.
