Arundo Akamatsu, an assassin hired by Saito’s employer, attempts to draw Kenshin into combat but is defeated. Saito then arrives at the dojo, using his position as a policeman to gain entry. He initiates a fight with Kenshin despite Kaoru’s desperate pleas for him to stop and avoid reverting to his manslayer persona.
