Release date, time, and where to watch
The thirteenth episode of Rurouni Kenshin commenced with a recapitulation of Shikijo's demise, wherein it was disclosed that he entrusted Kenshin with the responsibility of safeguarding Sanosuke, due to his perceived potential. Subsequently, Hyottoko made an appearance, charging towards Kanryu Takeda, sacrificing himself in order to afford Beshimi an opportunity to execute him. Unfortunately, their sacrificial actions proved futile, yet they met their demise with contentment.
In a flashback, Han'nya reminiscences about his initial introduction to the Oniwabanshu and the joy he felt while training with them and having allies. Returning to the present, Han'nya eagerly inquired from Kenshin about the time it would take to retrieve his sword. Kenshin assured him it would only take 10 seconds, prompting Han'nya to swiftly launch an attack on Takeda as a diversion while Kenshin seized his sword. Just like the others, Han'nya made the ultimate sacrifice but managed to buy enough time for Kenshin to triumph over Takeda.
The Kenshin's team then proceeded to rescue Megumi Takani, while Aoshi Shinomori grieved over the loss of his fellow comrades. Suddenly, the police arrived on the scene, but Team Kenshin made efforts to protect Megumi despite Kanryu's accusations. They soon realized that Aoshi had managed to escape, spotting him in the backyard surrounded by the severed heads of his fallen comrades.
The episode ended with Aoshi burying his comrades, while Megumi found a live-in job as a doctor and went on to start a new life.
