Just posting a visual aide here for you non-Rurouni Kenshin fans. Images were taken from two different pages and smashed together to conveniently hide a story spoiler. Scanned from a personally owned tankoban. Kyosei 07:39, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

NeoGeoFreak Images
http://snk-database.hp.infoseek.co.jp/huusetsu/huusetsu.html Not all of them take place after SS Asura Zanmaden Endings, Genjuro's and Sogetsu's ones are more of extended versions of endings.

Genjuro's one translated http://translation.infoseek.co.jp/?ac=Web&lng=en&token=4a97b76d14152cf4172c3da3d21e1ad881e68587&submit=&selector=1&dsp=0&web_translate_url=http%3A%2F%2Fsnk-database.hp.infoseek.co.jp%2Fhuusetsu%2F1nokai.html (Genjuro's name gets translated as "Illusion Juro" here. Haohmaru's as "rule of right and the rule of might-maru" ^^.) Two parts of text are: one is from Neo-Geo Freak. Another one is just Genjuro's SSAZ ending. Same time frame, same events. However Neo-Geo Freak version has an extra part.

ENDING:

The time for the duel has come. Genjuro's sword flips Haohmaru's and towers above. The Poison of Plum Nightingale glistens. "Haohmaru. This is the end!" Suddenly, a hot and heavy thrust pierces Genjuro's back. He turns. A child! A child has thrust Genjuro with a dirk. "You did my father..." Consciousness fades. The wound in the back opens and a cloud of blood stains his body. Genjuro sees his mother in the bloody mist surrounding the body. The sun descends. Genjuro borrows Haohmaru's shoulder and descends from the stone stairs within the palace. Genjuro whispers. "I want to drink..." "shall we drink tonight?" The sunset flashes in Haohmaru's eyes. "...Fool!..." Smiling, Genjuro's eyes gently close.

EXTRA PART/CONTINUATION (NEO-GEO FREAK)

次の瞬間、覇王丸を突き飛ばすと腰の梅鶯毒を抜いて眉間に突き付けた. 「殺し合う相手に情け…甘いぞ、覇王丸!!」 蒼白になり、血を吐くような声で幻十郎は言う. 「お前のそんなところが…昔から…. 」 刃が覇王丸の額に小さな紅い玉を作る. しかし、それ以上刀は進まなかった. 「幻十郎…おめぇ……」 覇王丸を睨み付けたまま、幻十郎は二度と動かなかった.

In next moment, Haohmaru was knocked down; drawn from the waist, Poison of Plum Nightingale was pointed at the middle of his forehead. "Granting mercy to the opponent (who wants to) kill (you)… Youre naive, Haohmaru!" Becoming pale, Genjuro talks while coughing blood "However you were (always) just like that.. (starting back) from old days.." The blade left a small red drop at Haohmaru's forehead. However, the sword didnt advanced more than that. "Genjuro...you....." Glancing at Haohmaru, Genjuro stopped his movement forever.

ERROR:

Genjuro doesn't hate Haomaru because "he ressembles one of his mother's clinets" during the night she was slayed. I have the official picture to prove it. The man Genjuro killed looks nothing like Haohmaru. He hates Hao because Caffine Nictone chose Hao to be his apprientence and banished Genjuro for his aggressive and arrogant behavior. It hurt his pride because Kibagami thought he was stronger than any of his students.
