Episode 16 recap
Episode 16 of Rurouni Kenshin started with Kenshin and Raijuta engaging in a brief battle, which came to a swift end when Kenshin broke Raijuta's sword in half. As a result, Yutaro followed Kenshin's group back to Kaoru's dojo, where he challenged Yahiko to a duel. However, it was soon revealed that Yutaro had never received any sword training. Consequently, Kaoru and the others stayed up all night teaching him.
They suggested that Yutaro should train at the dojo, which Raijuta approved when Yutaro asked. However, it seemed that Raijuta had hidden intentions for allowing this. Nonetheless, Yutaro continued training at Kaoru's dojo, rapidly improving his skills and befriending Yahiko. Kaoru even proposed that Yutaro become a permanent student, but he declined, and Team Kenshin accompanied him home afterwards.
While recounting how he met Raijuta to Team Kenshin, they were suddenly ambushed by Raijuta, who attempted to kill Kenshin. The two engaged in a fight, during which Raijuta utilized a concealed long-ranged technique to catch Kenshin off-guard.
However, during the altercation, Yutaro was struck, causing Kenshin to become outraged. Kenshin promptly escorted the young boy to see a doctor, thus postponing their impending battle until the following day. The episode concluded with the shocking revelation that Yutaro's injuries rendered him incapable of ever pursuing swordsmanship again.
