Hey everyone! I finally got past the copyright and uploaded part 2 to this fight! I apologize in advance because I had to put a filter on it to take off the copyright claim but you can still see most of the video pretty clearly and I converted it to HD after the export so it has pretty good quality!

@@kenshin514 i have a feeling this will continue to be a weekly thing like how Naruto and One Piece had been, they definitely have the episodes to do that now if they are truly going by the manga now.
I mean let's wait to see how it will be, as of right now the remake is pretty okay to good, nostalgia obviously makes us prefer the original but I'm having fun seeing Kenshin beat up people lol
And these two are actually based on real people who lived through the Bakumatsu, Hajime Saitō and the Shinsengumi were real, and Kenshin is inspired on Kawakami Gensai 😁💪🏼☀️...
After goku and vegeta I'd put L and light, then yugi and seto. This was my childhood but feel like their story wasn't as deep as other rivalries in anime
I love the way they sold us on Saito's Gatotsu. The final, perfected version of the left-handed thrust. It cannot be blocked, nor dodged. All you can do is try to keep it from piercing your vital organs. And the only thing scarier than facing it is when Saito uses it on you again after you've been carved up.
No matter how may times I see this fight, I can't help but wonder how the rest of the story would have played out, if Kenshin had simply twisted his sword to the bladed part, let alone have a traditional katana, when doing that 360 degree spin, at the end.
Technically Kenshin won this fight. The first real fatal blow was when Kenshin hit the back of Saito’s neck. If that were a real sword, the fight would have ended there.
Bruh, the animation on his hair tie being destroyed is so clean, and you just know Kenshin's about to show everyone in the dojo how he earned his nickname.
@@gantu06 Irrefutably: The moment is SO viscerally charged. I feel my pulse shoot through the roof, completely oblivious that my breath catches in my throat-has totally halted, in awestruck anticipation...
I wish they kept the glowing eyes of a manslayer, the hype BGM and the dark lighting theme on the remake since the old version made him much more of a badass unlike the new version of the remake
@@kbgibson The remake has the wrong emphasis on the wrong scenes. Changed lines to make them MORE wordy (as if extra talking in anime has ever been a good thing.) The voice actors all have mild lisps so they sound more like nerds at a comic con and I can't take them seriously. When Kenshin says "now I will kill you" to Jinei, I just cringe. The animation isn't even that smooth or amazing, just looks like every "Isekai" anime. Saitou's voice isn't believable, sounds like someone trying to do a deep voice as a prank or something. Sanosuke crushes the gun and there's absolutely no dramatic cuts or pause to emphasize it like that's just normal, we all just crush guns to get rid of them because they aren't made of steel that's strong enough to handle little explosions. The list of things wrong with the remake is long....at least they got the story right.
Don't care even if its a reverse blade. That swing at the back of the head was technically already game over. And the sheer force of being push from the attack to a dozen feet. Im amaze that his head didn't pop like a balloon. And yea i know its an anime but still. Just an observation.
I think the reason why it didn't is because there is still a part of Ken that doesn't want to kill so he held back on that attack just enough cause otherwise that should have broken his neck. If I remember it right I think that is even said latter in this fight by Kaoru.
Its the use of color and music to create atmosphere that makes this blow the new version out of the water, despite the new version having some good animation
Hey future self here…they didn’t and this version if the fight is waaaaaay better than the remake. Music and everything. Kenshin and yahiko’s english dub sounds the same though to a degree. Karou sound like she from bawwstunn
The tension build up with the clock ticking and the Sun going down. Kenshin eyes mutation and the reflection in his sword. I missed all these little details in this fight, the new anime version it's kinda boring to be honest... So sad
This is what the new anime is missing, the ambiance. Everything is shaded darker whenever there's a shift. The audience will have to ponder if Kenshin is really winning. Even if Saito is backed down he gets up again plus Kenshin surrendering to his past means he is infact losing. We don't get this kind of feeling and the music in the new anime doesn't have the melancholy of the old one.
That moment kenshins eyes turned like a wolf still gives me goosebumps. Imagine doing your best to forgive yourself then all of a sudden the demons that you kept lock inside you was set free
I think the technical limitations that the animators were working under back then actually worked in their favor. Since they couldn't rely on speed and dynamism like modern animators, they had to take a more measured and atmospheric approach, and that gave it more soulful depth and weight.
I'm Japanese, but Kenshin's dubbed voice suits him very well! Also, the 1996 version of the anime is beautiful compared to today's anime. It was said to be the most beautiful anime in Japan at the time.
If I was saito I would have admitted defeat after taking that hit to the back of my neck cause damn even after a 10 year rusty Kenshin landed a fatal blow (if it was a normal katana) that would have killed me
Just watched the new version. This one, the original is still better. There's some fights the new one does better due to its animation quality. However, this fight is one of those where it can't compare to the original.
it aways amazes me how else saito did not die on that back of the neck clean strike, if the blade side was used , saito's head would have flown off haha Battosai is truly a demon , however it is Kenshin that strike so that saito can still retain his head
1996 version tops the 2023 version. The subtle details of the fight and transition from Kenshin to Battousai is done much better in the 1996 version. Love the power struggles and larger philosophical battles explored in the old version. It’s so much more serious and better character dubbing too.
I think the new series of kenshin did a lot of things better than the original, the Jine fight being the prime example of this, but this fight is unmatched regardless of adaptations. None in the new or old series come close to how good this one is.
U cant remake a masterpiece and expect it to be much better.. the 2023 version lacks the killer instincts of these 2.. the OG version is just irreplaceable..
I hope in the remake they'll be lenient on the slow mo and not make it a bit too fast like we're seeing in the recent eps. The fast stuff is fine, but use it sparingly, vice versa with slow mo. This fight is great because the tension and smooth action, but i guess there are some too fast section in the old one too but people like it. Cant wait for the remake to get there
I really hope that the remake understands how dark and gritty these later arcs are meant to be, so far they've really toned it down with the seriousness, even with Jinei who was meant to be the first true villain of the series
@@Lo-tf6qt even when kenshin met kaori at the river, iirc isnt kenshin supposed to slit his thumb because he was startled by kaoru? 😂 Kinda miss on some jokes too
I can't find any of the og fights on here, i just keeo getting the remake. His foght with san'nya with the striped arms and the giy he fights after that is my _FAVORITE_
Saito would have been beheaded if that was not a Sakabato. There is a world of difference in skills when Kenshin is just in wanderer mode as to when he is the Battosai.
Don't forget that Saito and Kenshin fought eachother many times during the Bakumatsu period. Kenshin did not use Sakabato and did not hold back against Saito or anyone at this time. And yet, Saito survived. Saito is one dude Kenshin could never defeat.
@@Fin4127 I'm not sure because the only only streaming subscriptions I have are for Netflix and Crunchyroll; and I haven't seen it on Crunchyroll because I didn't look for there. But here is where I actually found and downloaded it for the clip you saw! wcostream.tv 😎❤️🥇
i had to come back and watch this one cause i just saw the 2023 one.. complete garbage... there was no intensity build up..the score was shiet, it was rushed.
New series failed so bad to remake this fight, they didn’t even changed kenshin eye color when he reverted back to the manslayer, something so simple to do, I had such high hopes for them
Because even though Kenshin almost fully reverted to battosai, he still fought with a reverse blade sword, so that attack didn’t kill him if it wasn’t a reverse I’m certain it would have

This Is My Favorite Fight In The Whole Show. I’m Anticipating How The Remake Is Going To Do This Fight
The remake will be 24 episodes long so it may not get to this fight. May have to wait until the 2nd season 😓
@@kenshin514 i have a feeling this will continue to be a weekly thing like how Naruto and One Piece had been, they definitely have the episodes to do that now if they are truly going by the manga now.
@kenshin514 that's good we get to savor it
@@Genshiken2006 it probably will go with the first cour of 12 episodes, then the other 12 episodes, then season 2.
I’m hoping for Yellow eyes
Not even 2023 remake could top the animation for this. That is why its hard to remake what is already a godlike.
Exactly. Hopefully Yu Yu Hakusho won't suffer the same humiliation. Leave it be.
I mean let's wait to see how it will be, as of right now the remake is pretty okay to good, nostalgia obviously makes us prefer the original but I'm having fun seeing Kenshin beat up people lol
Its about direction
The remake is fine, im enjoying tge new refreshed wave of people talking about samurai x again
The remake feels Disney-fy
Besides Goku and Vegeta, this rivalry is my favorite. These two were on a different level
Shishio was better than both of them
And these two are actually based on real people who lived through the Bakumatsu, Hajime Saitō and the Shinsengumi were real, and Kenshin is inspired on Kawakami Gensai 😁💪🏼☀️...
After goku and vegeta I'd put L and light, then yugi and seto. This was my childhood but feel like their story wasn't as deep as other rivalries in anime
@@thebeatnumber Well, he's the main villain. He's supposed to be.
@@masterdon187 it wasn't as deep as others, but in this case, it was fine because they needed each other in the end to take down the main bad guy.
Bro the remastered ver. felt so soft i had to come back and rewatch the OG
OG version of this fight is much better than the remake.
I love the way they sold us on Saito's Gatotsu. The final, perfected version of the left-handed thrust. It cannot be blocked, nor dodged. All you can do is try to keep it from piercing your vital organs. And the only thing scarier than facing it is when Saito uses it on you again after you've been carved up.
It can be blocked, if you survived It enough times
@@raulbetancourt5795 in real life blocking such an attack would be a feat with a weapon so heavy
The music, the animation and Kenshin's transition to his assassin mode is just superb. I do hope they bring justice to it in the remake.
The remake version wasn't bad, but I like this version better :(
Gods, the 90s was strong then!
No matter how may times I see this fight, I can't help but wonder how the rest of the story would have played out, if Kenshin had simply twisted his sword to the bladed part, let alone have a traditional katana, when doing that 360 degree spin, at the end.
Shishio wins 🤣
You know exactly how Kyoto would have ended kenshin would have had to fight WAY to many people before the goat shishio himself
the music alone is 10x better than the new one
#bigfacts
Technically Kenshin won this fight. The first real fatal blow was when Kenshin hit the back of Saito’s neck. If that were a real sword, the fight would have ended there.
Heck, Saito's really made of strong stuff. That blow to the back of the head would have crushed a regular human's skull.
Even the shisho fight kenshin killed him many times if he had a real sword
Saito was going easy, if would had wanted to kill Kenshin, he would had.
@@raulbetancourt5795easy or not, kenshin is the protagonist of the story. Saito will still be beaten.. 😂😂😂
@@raulbetancourt5795no he definitely was going all out from the start
This Episode has more emotion and you can feel the pain and anger than the 2023 revision.
Bruh, the animation on his hair tie being destroyed is so clean, and you just know Kenshin's about to show everyone in the dojo how he earned his nickname.
Not to mention saitos mouth as he yells before he strikes. Awesome artwork
Battosai the man slayer

This fight of the Original far surpasses the remake
Super facts
Its not even a comparison. The new one has 0 feeling to it.
I just watched the remake and am so disappointed 😞
REMAKE IS SO DISAPPOINTING
@@kbgibson The remake has the wrong emphasis on the wrong scenes. Changed lines to make them MORE wordy (as if extra talking in anime has ever been a good thing.)

Kenshin was an angel who knows the ways of the demons

Ye, but saito prob have a crazy resistance in his neck. From the countless fight he been in, so it not so surprising he didn’t get knocked out from it
I can't get tired of this scene. 😍
Its the eye color change for me. Was expecting it in the new anime
One of the great fight scenes of all time. Bar none.
Its the use of color and music to create atmosphere that makes this blow the new version out of the water, despite the new version having some good animation
The way this was presented was nothing short of amazing i hope the remake stays true I definitely miss the OG music tho
Hey future self here…they didn’t and this version if the fight is waaaaaay better than the remake. Music and everything. Kenshin and yahiko’s english dub sounds the same though to a degree. Karou sound like she from bawwstunn

That moment kenshins eyes turned like a wolf still gives me goosebumps. Imagine doing your best to forgive yourself then all of a sudden the demons that you kept lock inside you was set free
for some seconds, when kenshin turned into tha old himself, the killer one, that was dope
I came here after watching the 2023 remake fight. It wasn't even close to this masterpiece.
Best fight scene in the whole series.
i was so hyped for this back in the day that i recorded it on VHS
Saito already died multiple times in this duel had Kenshin used a real sword.
The hair untied the yellow on his eyes unparalleled
This was a classic battle 👌 I can't wait to see the 2023 remake
Just imagine the old team with the manga already finished and today's technology. Still, I love the old series, despite its fillers.
One of the very few fights I liked in 90s kenshin
I think the technical limitations that the animators were working under back then actually worked in their favor. Since they couldn't rely on speed and dynamism like modern animators, they had to take a more measured and atmospheric approach, and that gave it more soulful depth and weight.
Aaahhh, those eyes, and that look. Kenshin is now BATTOUSAI
DBZ
Gundam
Yu yu Hakusho
Inuyasha
and this was my childhood
"Next it will be your head" 💀👿
This fight in the 2023 anime is gonna be so spectacular and I can’t wait 🔥
I'm Japanese, but Kenshin's dubbed voice suits him very well! Also, the 1996 version of the anime is beautiful compared to today's anime. It was said to be the most beautiful anime in Japan at the time.
I agree. The 1996 version was one of the best if not the best back in the 90's and is still a masterpiece to this day! 😎❤️🏅
The people today don’t understand. They like 2D and more explosions and flash.
Kenshin's new dub voice ....ugh. Cansino was the MVP for his voice.
I can't wait to see how they remake this battle
This aged like milk
If I was saito I would have admitted defeat after taking that hit to the back of my neck cause damn even after a 10 year rusty Kenshin landed a fatal blow (if it was a normal katana) that would have killed me
Just watched the remake. The original prevails vastly!
Kenshin holding back
And he almost die, he have to not be holding back, to be equal to saito
Was equal with hold back, without i think they will destroy kamiya dojo and maybe kill Kaoru, Yahiko, Sano and lovely megumi
Same can be said about saito, he held back too
yeah, if he was the man slayer it would take at least 3 members of shinsengumi to take him down
I think if Saitou, Aoshi and Shishio would've Spinoff series of their stories with similar drawing and dub, it would be great too.
Hajime Saito, one of the top 3 manslayers of the Revolutio.
who came here after watching the most recent episode
Me
I always thought it was ironic saito didnt like Kenshin because of the war but he was in the shinsengumi those guys were legit serial killers
Honestly this show had some of the best sword combat and fight choreography out there. Also wtf Saito would you like her to feel my batotsu as well??
1996>2023 honestly
The remake cant even hold a candle with this 😂
Just watched the new version. This one, the original is still better. There's some fights the new one does better due to its animation quality. However, this fight is one of those where it can't compare to the original.
Agreed
the fact that if Kenshin was using a regular Katana he would have just cut off his head off in one move is savage
it aways amazes me how else saito did not die on that back of the neck clean strike, if the blade side was used , saito's head would have flown off
haha Battosai is truly a demon , however it is Kenshin that strike so that saito can still retain his head

The best performance of Richard Cansino and Kirk Thornton, hands down.
Who could forget the brash performance of Lex Lang as Sanosuke and Steve Blum doing an excellent job portraying Shishio as a ruthless psychopath.
Definitely awesome my friend, lk ,,💯,, 👍
Thank you so much! 🥰💞
Bro would of ended it right there if his sword wasn’t reversed
Please do anyone have a link where I can download the series, Fz TV series is no longer available to download it

The 2023 version butchered the fuck out of this fight
😂😂 They kinda did!
Does anyone know the name of the song that starts playing at 0:48?
2:05 Kenshin starts using the dark side
If that wasn't a reverse blade, he would be a headless corpse 🥶
Saito would have been beheaded if that was not a Sakabato. There is a world of difference in skills when Kenshin is just in wanderer mode as to when he is the Battosai.
His would be flying with Jorge solers world series home run ball
Don't forget that Saito and Kenshin fought eachother many times during the Bakumatsu period. Kenshin did not use Sakabato and did not hold back against Saito or anyone at this time. And yet, Saito survived. Saito is one dude Kenshin could never defeat.
let's be real.. saito isn't in the same league as kenshin after learning kuzu ryu sen and amakakeru
The remake is not as good as this one

The older series did this in 4:3 in what the remake will have to do in 16:9. Wonder how this will turn out
They heave poor animation director too stiff
The best version of Samurai X anime (1996)
So how you skip over the best part which is the walk over throwback to the killer himself
Cool fight 😁
Thank you! ❤️
old one is best remake is meh
If you have any fears about death then you better work them out!!!
No more argument this og version totally hit the to the core... the remake nuh Kenshin witness to many waifu acts and turned into marshmallow
2:25 saito would have been dead if kenahin wasnt uwing reverse blade
i had to come back and watch this one cause i just saw the 2023 one.. complete garbage... there was no intensity build up..the score was shiet, it was rushed.
New series failed so bad to remake this fight, they didn’t even changed kenshin eye color when he reverted back to the manslayer, something so simple to do, I had such high hopes for them
It’s crazy to think Saito would be dead if it wasn’t for the sakabato
Why was 1996 rurouni kenshin taken off crunchyroll
I'm really looking forward to 2023 version.
2:00 Chills
Saito Aoshi Sano Hanya kenshin are my favourites
Surpasses the remake 100%
So this entire fight was PTSD and ring rust
2:26 Even its a reverse blade sword, between the blunt force truama to neck and flying through a wall Saito should definitely be dead.
The good version. 😊
How did saito’s head not get chopped off?
Because even though Kenshin almost fully reverted to battosai, he still fought with a reverse blade sword, so that attack didn’t kill him if it wasn’t a reverse I’m certain it would have
The remake is just a clearer version but it has no soul. The original is still the OG
❤❤😊
Saito was lucky that sword was reverse edse...if now...he will see his body from a far 😅
Ep?
28 if am not mistaken.
