16) Not an Edit... Blood back on Kenshin's face.
17) Blood digitally removed from the dent in the wall behind Okubo.
18) Not an Edit... Okubo's aide refers to opium rather than poppies when offering a pardon to Megumi.
19) Sanosuke's "...and now you're asking him to murder innocent..." changed to "...and now you're asking him to hurt innocent..."
20) Saitou's "It's called Hell if I remember correctly" changed to "It's the afterlife if I recall correctly" before he kills Akamatsu.
21) Shot of Akamatsu's blood spraying across a wall as Saitou cuts him down cut.
22) Negative shot of Akamatsu's bloody corpse replaced with shot of Saitou's blade as Saitou confronts Shibumi.
23) Scene of Saitou's confrontation with Shibumi digitally recomposed to remove shots of Akamatsu's corpse.
24) Blood digitally removed from Saitou's blade after he kills Shibumi.
25) Parting shot of room containing Shibumi's and Akamatsu's bloody corpses cut.
I predict right now that Toonami will not be able to handle the Kyoto Arc. If this fight between Kenshin and Saitou was edited this much then the fights that are coming up won't stand a chance.
