I want to watch the entire series again, when I first watched it I was kinda too into the animation to get to far into the story. I paid a whole butload of attention to the samurai x ova though. I fraggin lurved it. Kenshin will always be my favorite.... AAAAAAAAALWAAAAAYS.......................

But I must say, when Yahiko grew up, he was pretty bad ass.
And as for his death, I thought nothing wrong with it, atleast it was a peaceful death, which I'm guessing is the show's way of telling the viewers that after all of the killing he has done, his mission of repentance was complete and that he had settled his bad karma.
