    Edit Count:
    Number we predicted: 27
    Real Number: 12

    NOTE: Anyone else think the Jine episode guy did this edit? ::rolls eyes:: I think he did given that the suicide attempt was cut whereas in last Monday's episode Tomo's attemp wasn't cut. But, what annoyed me more was the removal of one of the Shinko Members getting killed that prompts Kenshin to anger...But, oh well. Hopefully this guy will not be editing any portion of the Kyoto Arc. I want the guy who did the edits last week to come back. ^_^

    -Rurouni Soujirou

    NOTE: I think it was the Jineh episode editor myself and I do not want him to edit the Kyoto arc unless its an episode with no major fighting. Hope the editor from last week returns soon and that he's the one editing the Kyoto arc. As I've said before CN edits have not been consistant at all.

    Number we predicted: 50
    Real Number: 18

    NOTE: ::snickers:: I think the 'or are you looking for something a little more you know what.' was way worse then the explicit line...hehehhe...and I never thought to see one of the outtakes at a line. Sano's line of 'Not good.' is an outtake from the extras section...I about died laughing when I heard it. Heheheheheh.

    -Rurouni Soujirou

    NOTE: I didn't think they would use an outtake for a line either. I wonder what their rational was for the removal of the 'turd' line. It's not like they where editing the word 'shit' there. Now on to the wild party scene. Wonder what they will do for that.

    -Rurouni Soujirou

    NOTE: I wonder about that toothpick though. Seems to me that they could have just removed the cigarette and not replaced it with anything although that toothpick did not look as out of place as the ball point pen in Yu Yu Hakusho a few days past.
