“False Prophet,” Volume 4 of “Rurouni Kenshin: Wandering Samurai” offers up five episodes from what I am inclined to think is the start of the second season of the Japanese anime because there is a new song for the end titles. After the epic four-episode battle between Himura Kenshin and Aoshi Shinomori these episodes are less ambitious and a probably just a lull before the next major storm. The most important think that happens in these five episodes is the return of Megumi Takani, who is now practicing medicine in town. Since we know that Kenshin and Karou are going to take forever to really notice each other have Sanosuke Sagara pinning for Megumi looks a lot more promising:

Episode 13, “Strive for the Grand Championship: Taramaro’s Sumo Battle Log” has the gang becoming involved in the workings of a sumo school, touching on another aspect of Japanese culture.

Episode 14, “Save a Small Life: The Challenge of the Beautiful Doctor, Megumi” finds the good doctor’s reputation being attacked by a group of con men who promise cures by the gods. Megumi does not want to fight back, but that is what friends are for in such sticky situations.

Episode 15, “Assassination Group of Fire: Jipuu Squad on the Run” is where “Rurouni Kenshin” actually starts offering us teasers before the episode title. The politics of the Meji Restoration comes into play again as the motivation for a series of assassinations. Once again a master swordsman comes upon the scene who has failed to fully understand the teachings of his sensei. The story continues in the next Episode 16, “A Promise From the Heart: The Secret Technique of the Shiden Renga Blade,” and are the two best episodes on the DVD.

Episode 17, “Fly to Your Dreams: The Adventures of Marimo, the Human Bullet” has the gang visiting a new circus where the highlight has young Marimo being shot out of a cannon. Once again “little” Yahiko is smitten and when the girl and her father are in danger from the crooked operators of the circus they left, he leads the rescue effort.

“False Prophet” certainly provides a mixture of both of the type of episodes you see on “Rurouni Kenshin.” Mostly we have cute little episodes where the members of the group have fun doing some verbal sparring with each other and then we have a pair of episodes where things get more serious. Those are the best episodes and they make the quainter onces seem rather out of place, but then this strange balancing act is part of what makes this one of the better anime. The extras this time around consist of a lengthy set of notes involving a lot of sumo definitions (ozeki, yokozuna, dosukoi, etc.) and some more audio “outtakes” (which are R rated, so be forewarned before you let the kiddies watch).

I’ve bought all 3 volumes before this one, and this volume is great! Besides the other kenshin DVDs, this one contains 5 episodes (the past dvds had 4) - so I was pretty suprised and happy! I don’t watch the English version because the “that i am, that i will” stuff annoys me, and I have no idea why they even used it in the subtitles for the japanese version (that they did) - but just like on the 2nd volume, you can check out the extras menu - and find out-takes from the voice actors & actresses of the Enlish dub. It’s very funny to hear them actually mess up on scenes! This dvd is very exciting, and action packed! Looking forward to more Kenshin volumes on dvd! Highly recomended anime!!
