Rurouni Kenshin OVA - Kenshin (18)
This is the young man who struck fear into the hearts of much older (and taller) men; Himura Kenshin, more commonly known at this stage of his life as the Hitokiri Battousai (or, as Jin'e calls him in the second OVA, the "master of murder.") Quiet, unassuming, and 100% deadly. This scene, as any Kenshin fan knows, is from early in the 1st OVA. The laser copy background is from a few scenes later in the same episode. I made one with the street from this episode, but it just didn't work as well as this.
