Rurouni Kenshin Episode 21 Recap
In Rurouni Kenshin episode 21, the narrative kicked off with Deian Ishizu officially hiring Espiral to confront Kenshin Himura. Meanwhile, Kenshin engaged in a conversation with Doctor Elder, revealing her true identity as a woman. This revelation hinted at shared struggles between them. However, Kenshin, startled by the realization, abruptly departed, unable to stay after learning about her gender. Regrettably, he left without delivering the note that had arrived for her in the previous episode.
Later, Elder was summoned by Dankichi for a late-night medical emergency, fostering suspicions about the situation during their journey. These suspicions were validated when Espiral arrived and attacked them, causing chaos and damaging Dankichi’s cart. However, Kenshin intervened, initiating a battle with Espiral. Ultimately, Kenshin triumphed by turning Espiral’s final attack against him, using its momentum to secure victory.
Subsequently, Ishizu, observing from the alleyway, attempted to shatter a vial of smallpox, intending to create a disturbance to facilitate his escape. His plan involved profiting from treating the disease, creating a win-win situation for himself. However, Espiral intercepted the vial, leading to Ishizu’s arrest. Following this, he chose to accompany Doctor Elder after bidding farewell to Kenshin. The episode concluded by returning to the present timeline.
