"I Can't See Him Losing...",
By
This review is from: Rurouni Kenshin, Vol. 23 (v. 23) (Paperback)
Two Comrades remain on the Battlefield:the disfigured and deadly Yatsume Mumyoi, and the Ringleader himself,Enishi.
With this intsallment we have the "official" return of Saito Hajime to the fight to do battle with Meiji Era Venom(well he does look like him and referring to himself in the third person afew volumes back didn't help ^.^).While it's nice to have one of the most intriguing characters in the Series back,he doesn't really have much to do outside of his own fight.I hope he has more involement with the remaining volumes.On a sidenote,I was abit surprised to see Saito actually talk to Kaoru and vice versa(strange). After that conflict comes the match everyone has been waiting for:Kenshin vs. Enishi. Enishi still has some tricks up his sleeves and he can actually fight Kenshin on equal terms(!)thanks to a way that combines a Japanese Sword with Mainland Asian Kenjutsu.Once again,that's too many moments to ruin here,but THIS fight is just the first course with a cliffhanger which will leave you wanting the next volume right away.Highly recommanded!!!
