Anime Notes[]
- There are some differences between the events of the manga and the anime:
- In the original manga (and the 1996 anime adaptation) Hiko and Kenshin finish talking (and leave the shack to start training) during the night. This is in contrast with this anime episode where those events happen during the day.
- In the original manga (and the 1996 anime adaptation) Misao learns about the death of the Tokyo Oniwabanshū while she is walking down the mountain during the night. This is in contrast with this anime episode where this scene takes place during the day.
Trivia[]
- This episode was titled after the original of Act 87.
- This episode also uses a scene with widescreen effect (showing Hiko Seijūrō's eyes) for dramatic purposes.
