History Funny / RurouniKenshin

* The 2023 anime adds an original scene where Kanryuu checks on the supplies he has imported from the West. Because Kanryuu is dealing with Westerners and none of the voice actors involved have a strong grasp on English, viewers are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ola14MeL8Gg treated]] to about 2 minutes of IntentionalEngrishForFunny, especially from Kanryuu who mixes his Engrish with a side of [[EvilIsHammy Ham]].

** [[https://youtu.be/K3HxMZL9q5c?si=NBH2L4qi9UYHUrQK Episode 18 preview]]: Aoshi is having trouble sleeping and CountingSheep isn't helping him. He decides that since this suggestion came from the West, he must put himself in a Western mind set. To do this, he tries to read a document meant to allow him to communicate with foreign enemies, [[IntentionalEngrishForFunny and it's all done in Engrish]].

** [[https://youtu.be/-3MruTnsQMM?si=3L2mbfgt-TspRKln Episode 17 preview]]: After ingesting a wild mushroom, Aoshi finds himself on death's door and tries to write a parting letter to anyone who would find his body. When he hears Kenshin saying "Oro?", he decides he cannot die yet and must confront the Battousai on what "Oro?" means. The [[SoundtrackDissonance the overly dramatic music]] adds to the hilarity of it all.
--->'''Aoshi:''' What is..."Oro?" What does it mean? I can understand "OSU!" and even "ORA!" I totally get "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" But I don't understand "Oro?" It doesn't have the sense of high tension of the eternal readiness to fight! Did I really lose to someone who makes such a pathetic sound?[...] I will survive yet again so that I can meet the Battousai once again and ask him, "What the hell does "Oro?" mean?"

* The 2023 anime's OnTheNext segments that are uploaded to Aniplex's Youtube channel. While scenes from the upcoming episode play, Kenshin and Kaoru go into amusing non-sequiturs.

* Megumi cooks a nice ohashi and claims that everyone can make a delicious ohashi. Then Kenshin states that [[LethalChef the last time Kaoru tried that, the ohashi looked and tasted like mud.]] Kenshin gets an OffhandBackhand courtesy of an annoyed Kaoru for that. ''Then'' Megumi openly flirts with Kenshin, inciting Kaoru's anger again. But this time, Megumi already prepares a roasting to counter her:
-->'''Megumi:''' The way you just nitpick others clearly only shows off your insecurity, doesn't it? And if you're frustrated about it, try being able to cook a tasty ohashi first!\\

-->'''Megumi:''' The way you just nitpick others clearly only shows off your insecurity, doesn't it? Also, if you're so confident about yourself, how about ''you'' make a tasty ohashi first?\\
'''Kaoru:''' (in tears) I have no words for that.

* In chapter 121 when Misao first encounters Honjō Kamatari [[spoiler:who despite looking like a woman, is actually a man; while the 1993 anime is a bit subtler about his actual gender, the manga goes for the jugular and have him drop his skirt and show his (censored) weenie to Misao's absolute shock]].

** [[https://youtu.be/lTltpFEdP7A Episode 2 preview]]: Kaoru points out that with Japan's push for Westernization during the Meiji Era, they need to start being prepared to start speaking in English. This leads to Kenshin saying "Rurouni" with the [[{{Engrish}} thickest foreign accent]] he can muster.

** After Kenshin is down during training, Seijuro starts to reminisce back to humiliating moments that Kenshin had.

* In the Hokkaido arc, Yamagata tells Kenshin that he has plenty of BodyDoubles around both to allow him maintain order for the government and to make him a harder target for assassination, allowing him to avoid the fate that befell Okubo. This makes things ''very'' awkward for Soujiro, ''the guy who assassinated Okubo''.

-->'''Yamagata:''' I have two or three body doubles[...], so I don't suffer the same fate as Lord Okubo.//
