EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 21 serves as the climax of the Raijūta arc, resolving the tensions built across the preceding episodes around Raijūta's ambitions and his conflict with Kenshin's ideals. It brings Yutarō's storyline to a decisive turning point while testing Kenshin's commitment to his no-kill philosophy under serious pressure. With episode 22 shifting gears entirely to a standalone runaway locomotive adventure, this marks a clean arc conclusion before the series moves into new territory.
