Also Kenshin: smacks people's skulls with a blunt metal stick at the speed of sound.

How did this man go 15 years without murdering anybody? I think he's fudging his numbers

I always remember how he easily smacked Saito in the back of the head with the reverse side, and just as kenshin flipped his blade over the fight got interrupted.

Saito is still like "we will finish this battle another day".

Like...no Saito. Kenshi would have literally cleaved your head in half if he was using a proper sword. Drop it already.

About 55 seconds in:

Saito's character is not that he's seeking to win against Kenshin. He's seeking death by Kenshin's hand. Ever since the Revolution ended, he's had nothing and no one to really give him the rush of feeling alive.

After the fight with Kenshin, he coasts through the rest of the story. The only enemy who he fails against is Shishio, but that wasn't personal for Saito. That was all business.

Kenshin represents the culmination of his life ended on a blade by a superior fighter, and once he understands that Kenshin will continue to fight for his ideals, which at the centerpoint is his vow to never kill again, Saito realizes he'll never get what he wants, and abandons their duel.

Because it's anime. Anything that doesn't kill you will heal in a few days.

I love how easy it is in media to knock someone unconscious with no other ill effects
just kinda smash their head and it'll all work out
I feel like this would be a dicier proposition irl

Saito is also now serving the enemy regime he fought against, he was for the Shogun NOT the Emperor so he is literally defending and upholding the very group he was against as a samurai in the Boshin War.

I really don't think he cared. It was all about the fighting for him. Who he answered to was ultimately unimportant.

Maybe but I think he made peace with it knowing he might die fighting Kenshin but then Kenshin refuses to duels to the death due to his vow.

Saito was also a family man at that point, so he probably valued his wife being taken care of with his job then trying to do as all the others who refused to accept the Emperor and failed in overthrowing the new government.
