Chapter Notes[]
This chapter has several differences with other portrayals of the events of the story in different iterations of the franchise:
Differences with the 1996 anime[]
- In the manga, Han'nya's mask is totally broken after Kenshin's hit, so his whole face is exposed. This is in contrast to the anime in which only a part of the mask gets broken.
- In the manga after his face is exposed, Han'nya explains his background: his childhood and struggles before he found the Oniwabanshū. This is omitted from the anime.
- In the manga after Kenshin defeats Han'nya, Kenshin goes to him and asks him that if Han'nya knows about being alone and secluded, he should have taken pity on Megumi. In the anime Kenshin just says that the Oniwabanshū does not have honor.
- In the manga, after Kenshin defeats Han'nya, Sanosuke, Yahiko and Kenshin arrive to a staircase where Shikijō is waiting. In the anime Kenshin, Sanosuke, Yahiko and Kaoru get to a staircase where several common guards appear. Kaoru and Yahiko stay to fight them while Kenshin and Sanosuke keep going.
Differences with Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration[]
