    Edit Count:
    Number we predicted: 52
    Real Number: 21

    NOTE: Again I'm not sure about some of the cuts. Of course this episode is rather hard to make a list of edits for as the animation of blood is inconstant. Nothing really terrible...seeing as how they left more in then I thought they would. Why change Shishio's wine to water though? And why take away the red and blood imagery in the Senkaku murder scene...they left things like this in before. Oh well....and by the way Kenshin's missing scar wasn't an edit nor is it something that happened because of the dubbing process...

    - Rurouni Soujirou

    NOTE: I'm not sure about that wine to water edit either. *shrugs* Anyway the edits weren't all that bad.
