Episode 20 recap
In Rurouni Kenshin episode 20, Sanosuke Sagara recapped Kenshin Himura's background as an Imperialist assassin and commando swordsman, as well as his first encounter with Kaoru. The scene then shifted to Team Kenshin and Megumi enjoying tea at Kaoru's dojo. Kenshin proceeded to share a tale of his time in Yokohama's foreign settlement, where he unexpectedly crossed paths with a merchant named Dankichi.
A foreigner wearing a plague doctor mask appeared, offering assistance to an injured woman. However, a man named Deian Ishizu intervened, accusing the doctor of practicing medicine without his permission in his territory. Kenshin bravely stood up against Ishizu, protecting the doctor while Dankichi transported her patients. Kenshin, Dankichi, and the doctor then decided to have tea together, where they unexpectedly encountered a suspicious individual carrying a Western sword who took note of Kenshin's samurai sword.
After assisting the injured woman in Yokohama, the trio embarked on a tour while Dankichi bid them farewell. Kenshin was permitted to stay with her under the doctor's care, and during this time, she received a message.
Meanwhile, Ishizu devised a plan to handle the doctor and disclosed that the enigmatic man encountered earlier had been recruited by Ishizu to confront Kenshin. The episode concluded with the man expressing his knowledge of Kenshin's true identity and eagerly anticipating their upcoming battle.
What to expect (speculative)
Rurouni Kenshin episode 21 will continue focusing on a story from Kenshin's past, as a new opponent is introduced. The flashback plot is progressing quickly, indicating that it will likely be concluded in the next episode or soon after.
In the upcoming episode, Kenshin will face challenges against the Western opponent and feel compelled to save Doctor Elder from Ishizu's plans.
