Debut on High Society. Kaoru and Kenshin are walking through town late in the evening when they come upon a carriage being attacked. Kenshin assists an old man who is actually holding his own in a sword fight, but is outnumbered. The old man is protecting a young boy who is the virtual twin of Yahiko. Kaoru thinks it is Yahiko and smacks him good. The boy turns out to be Prince Shin of the Jakarta Republic. The old man is Malkes Murakami. They both end up at the Kamiya dojo. The rest is fairly predictable. Some one is after the Prince. The Prince is too ill to go to an official function. Yahiko impersonates the Prince. There is an assassination attempt. The Kenshin-gumi defeat the bad guys. The artwork in this episode is not the best, but there are some very funny moments and I recommend it. I am not going to spoil it for you, just watch it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode #65 Find Out Missing Treasure! Great Treasure Hunting Dog, Notaro. A politician is accosted on his way home by a group called the Kenwa. They are after a key the politician has possession of. The Kenwa beat the man but drop the key. A big brown chow (dog) steals the key. The Kenwa chase the dog. The dog jumps in the river and winds up at the shrine where Sano is praying for luck at the gambling tables. The dog likes Sano. Sano takes the dog to Megumi to be checked over. The dog eats everyone's lunch and then decides it likes Megumi too. Sano names the dog Notaro (because the dog is dopey and inanimate). Kenshin and company draw pictures of the dog and post them all over town in the hope of finding the dog's owner. In the meantime, Notaro trashes the Kamiya dojo and buries Kenshin's underwear, Yahiko's shinai, and the sakabatou. The police chief visits Kamiya dojo. He explains to Kenshin about Kenwa, the missing key, and the dog's connection. The Kenwa are also looking for the dog. They find Sano. Sano beats them all up. Kenshin tricks Notaro into leading Kenshin and the chief to the missing key (Notaro had buried it). Notaro's owners want him back. Megumi feeds Sano and Notaro their last meal together. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode #66 Happy Kaoru! Kenshin's Proposal! (This is the ring episode. I hated it. However, here is the summary for all you people who either did love it or would love it.) It is Tanabata, July 7th. Tsubame-chan, Kaoru, and Tae-san are window shopping. Tae tells Kaoru what an engagement ring symbolizes. Kaoru starts daydreaming about Kenshin asking her to marry him, the wedding, the wedding night (*o*!) and we break to Kaoru passed out flat on her back in the middle of the street with Tae leaning over her. Tae decides that Kaoru is frustrated and needs her help to find happiness with Kenshin. Kenshin goes fishing and comes back with a catfish. Kaoru apparently hates catfish. Kenshin takes a bite of fish and bites into a ring. Tae talks him into giving the ring to Kaoru. Turns out the ring was thrown into the river by a young man who thought his girlfriend, Shiori-san, was seeing another man. She was not. The young man who threw the ring in the river is going to kill himself. Sano stops him, recognizing the young man's description of the ring. He goes and tells Kenshin. Kenshin doesn't think it is such a big deal; they should just tell Kaoru what happened. Tae then confesses what the ring means to Kaoru, i.e. Kenshin finds out that he unknowingly asked Kaoru to marry him. Sano and Yahiko try to help. They fail. Kenshin finally tells Kaoru the truth. The young man gets the ring and the girl, Kaoru cries, and Kenshin gives her flowers as a consolation prize (provided, of course, by Tae).
