Rurouni kenshin: The ronin appears, who is
this mysterious man? Episode 40.
This episode started off with Kenshin Himura fighting
inside of an ice cave with Saitoh Hajime. There was an ice pond between Kenshin and the mysterious guy who seemed to walk
into the cave from the back... not from the front like Kenshin had done. Kenshin noticed the mysterious guy and his red armor...
Kenshin wondered who the man was, but kept attacking Saitoh. Saitoh tried to brake the ice pond with his weapon, but it didn't
work.
Saitoh didn't even notice the other man... only Kenshin
knew he was there, oddly. Soon Saitoh decided to call it a break for a bit, since the icicles inside the ice cave seemed to
drip. Ryo soon rode over to where Kenshin was slowly on his black horse. Ryo had long black hair, with red armor on and blue
eyes. Kenshin drew his sword as Ryo got off the horse.
"Who
are you, are you a foe?" Kenshin Himura asked.
"My name is Ryo,
I am the leader of the Ronin Warriors." Ryo Sanada replied.
"Ronin
Warriors?" Kenshin asked confused.
Oddly... Saitoh didn't see the man, so he thought Kenshin
was talking to himself, or maybe Ryo had a barrier up right now. Kenshin sighed, as he noticed that Ryo didn't have his katana's
not out, so he finally put his sword away.
"Yes... it is hard
to explain." Ryo said then.
Then Ryo went back onto his horse, as Saitoh seemed
to notice him now... when he hadn't earlier. Saitoh then took out a bow and arrow and shot at Ryo. The arrow actually hit
Ryo's shoulder and made it bleed too... Ryo slowly rode the horse out of the cave. When he reached the back, he was panting...
since his shoulder lots of blood.
Kenshin followed him, after Kenshin had knocked out
Saitoh. Though Ryo only gave Kenshin a glare for following him out.
"So you are a foe." Ryo said to Kenshin with a glare.
"No,
I didn't attack you at all. That I didn't." Kenshin replied.
"Well,
I better go back to my own time before the portal closes." Ryo said.
The portal was still open for the time being, it was bluish purple in color too, not like Kenshin knew what to make
of it.
"Okay..." Kenshin said.
"Oh, I was sent here to warn you of the great dangers that will come to you later." Ryo replied, as he
rode into the portal weakly, then the portal closes behind him.
I don't know why this was taking off, or why it never
continued from this episode....
