Gein leaps out of Iwanbou
and leaves the scene, reminding Inui that he'd better
come along. Inui growls and follows his comrade, threatening
Sanosuke that he'll kill him the next time they meet
before he completely departs. Sanosuke lets out a loud
sigh, but the time for relief is not yet upon him and
the others. Smoke is seen coming out of Iwanbou's mouth.
Sanosuke runs over to Gein's creation and knees it in
the stomach. A large bomb flies out into the air. Immediately,
everyone takes cover. When the bomb explodes, the impact
is so great that it takes out a large chunk of the Maekawa
Dojo.
Elsewhere, Otowa's strange
gas has finally disappeared. As Kenshin trudges forward
into the Uramura household, the words of Otowa run through
his mind - time for Jinchuu. Kenshin finally realizes
what's about to happen. He shouts at everyone in the
Uramura household to run, but it's too late. In a far
off distance, Kujiranami fires his Armstrong cannon
at the Uramura residence and completely destroys it.
Uramura's daughter and wife, along with the beaten-down
policemen, are sent flying out from the impact. Kenshin
saves Chief Uramura just in time. As the rurouni lays
his friend down on the ground, Uramura's daughter begins
to sob. She asks why such things are happening to them
when they don't deserve it. Kenshin bows his head, unable
to answer such a piercing question.
