Shock of the Rai Ryu Sen! Kenshin sent into Darkness (雷龍閃の衝撃! 闇に葬られた剣心 Rairyūsen no Shōgeki! Yami ni Hōmurareta Kenshin) is the 70th episode of the Rurouni Kenshin anime.
Synopsis[]
The round man named Gaspar Genzaemon accidentally breaks his dog whistle when Kenshin fights back, losing control of the dogs. So, in turn, Kenshin ends up saving himself and the round man from the dogs. Gaspar is confused by Kenshin saving his life, being told Kenshin is a demon to be killed. Gaspar chains Kenshin to a tree and goes for Lady Magdalia to see what he should do with Kenshin. Kaoru confronts Shōgo concerning his purpose having Kenshin dead. Kenshin, broken free of the chains, remains at the tree as Kaoru, Shōgo, Lady Magdalia, and Gaspar comes to see him. Shōgo battles against Kenshin to prove of his superior strength and speed. Kenshin chooses to execute the Kuzu-ryūsen attack instead of the Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki attack, showing mercy upon Shōgo. However, Shōgo strikes Kenshin with blindness, as he falls over a cliff into the waters below.
