    NOTE: I would have thought there'd be more edits in this one. I always found this episode to have the most blood in it of the non-fighting Kyoto arc episodes. Nice job.

    Edit Count:
    Number we predicted: 102
    Real Number: 7 (8)

    NOTE: Some strange scene cuts here, but I can understand them. Funny that they left in Shishio's line about Hell. I'm counting the last two edits as one since they cut from the Misao fight back to Kenshin and Senkaku. To be honest there was nothing here that surprised me.

    - Rurouni Soujirou

    NOTE: Very oddly edited episode but nothing that was really bad or that ruined the storyline. Shishio even got to say Hell. HEHEHE!

    Edit Count:
    Number we predicted: 57
    Real Number: 11 (15)

    NOTE: Well nothing shocking here...actually after taking out Eiji threatening to kill the masked guy yesterday I thought it funny that they left his attempts towards Senkaku in. And how about taking out Misao's middle finger. ::snickers::

    - Rurouni Soujirou

    NOTE: Why'd they take out Misao's middle finger anyway. Until Sou pointed it out, I never even noticed it. *sigh* Well, they left in more then I thought they would.

    - Rurouni Soujirou

    NOTE: Yeah, how dare they leave this episode in. *Smiles* They also let one of Sano's dammits remain. Crazy editors, what were they thinking anyway?
