3. Episode 5 Recap

Kenshin and Sagara continue their battle. However, Kenshin easily powers the latter with consecutive attacks, and Sagara realizes that he has no chance against Kenshin.

We go ten years back, where Sozo Sagara is the captain of the Sekiho Army, the vanguard of the Imperial Army. The army acted as the guide and vanguard that assisted the main army.

Sanosuke also accompanies the army. He wants to take up Sagara’s name after Sozo leaves the army. The Sekiho army is accused of being a fake Imperial Army.

The Imperial government was facing financial issues, so not to implement the Tax Halving Order, they framed the Sekiho Army so that it looked like the order never existed.

Sagara leaves with the rest of the army and tells Sanosuke to wait. Later, Sanosuke gets some news about his captain and finds his beheaded head put on display and framed as a criminal for tricking people with the tax order.

Remembering this incident, Sanosuke stands up again and launches himself at Kenshin. He is unable to walk properly. Seeing the opportunity, Kihei fires his gun at Kenshin.

Kenshin survives the attack. Gohei moves towards Kaoru, but Sagara stops him and tells him not to interfere. Kenshin brutally injures Kihei. Sagara insists on continuing the fight.

They get on it again, but this time, Kenshin breaks Sagara’s weapon. Despite getting hit a lot of times, Sagara continues to stand strong. He blames and accuses imperialists like Kenshin of advertising fake justice.

However, Kaoru tells him that Kenshin is not what he thinks he is. Kenshin also tells him that the revolution is not over, and he will continue to fight for the oppressed for as long as is needed.

Hearing all this, Sagara is reminded of this captain and accepts his defeat. Later, Kenshin and Kaoru find Sagara at the restaurant again. He is not that well but is still able to walk around.

He tells Kenshin that he will shadow Kenshin from now on and will see how he is different from the imperialist.
