    NOTE: Erm....weird edits to be honest. Kenshin got to retain most of his blood but not Saito...and what's with the cutting scenes where blood is dripping...and what was with that axing of the line about Kenshin having been a man slayer. This is only like the second time they've removed that. And again they've caught all the cuss words. At least on toonami they seemed to appear more often. Sano hasn't cussed once since it moved...^^;

    NOTE: I really wonder about that removal of the manslayer line. I don't remember that one was ever removed before. *shrugs* Ah well, at least there was blood this time because as we know RK is all about the blood. ^_^x
