The Edit List

Rurouni Kenshin - ep. 18

Rurouni Kenshin 18: Run, Yahiko

1) Yahiko's "I, Yahiko Myojin first apprentice of the Kamiya Kasshin style will beat the crap out of him" changed to "I, Yahiko Myojin first apprentice of the Kamiya Kasshin style will beat the snot out of him."

2) Shot of suspended body of underworld contact turning towards Gohei cut.

3) Scene of Yahiko's nightmare of Kenshin dying amidst sprays of blood cut.

4) Blood digitally removed from Yahiko's wrists as he attempts to cut his bonds.

5) Shot of Kenshin's hand with blood streaming from his wrist cut.

6) Blood again digitally removed from Yahiko's wrists.

7) Blood spray digitally removed when Kenshin's uppercut connects to Gengo's face.

8) Blood from Gengo's mouth digitally removed.

9) Shot of Yahiko with his knee buried in Gohei's crotch cut.

10) Celebration ball and streamer digitally removed from close-up of Gohei's
eyes.

11) Close-up of Kenshin's sword connecting with Gengo's face cut.

Considering all of the metaphoric imagery suggesting just what Yahiko's knee did to Gohei to end the fight I am surprised the went to the time and expense to edit Gohei's eyes (edit #10)
