I'd like to know if anyone can tell me why Sano is wearing the kanji for evil on his back? I think it was explained in the manga but i have the french version and my french isn't that great so i didn't understand. And I didn't see the entire series either
Thx in advance
Hm, I think because he hates the government now or smth and his "captain" was killed by them etc etc, he just likes to act tough. :x
I know the feeling btw, my french sucks too, but since french manga is the only manga we can get here, I guess I'm stuck with them. >.> (hates french btw)

When Sano was a kid, he belonged to a group of soldiers (can't remember the group's name) who worked for the Meiji government during the revolution and who were betrayed by the Meiji government. It seems that the group were told if they helped the Meiji government, the government would lower the taxes. Unfortunately, the Meiji government discovered they couldn't afford to lower the taxes so they decided to blame the group of soldiers Sano was with and labeled them liars for spreading false news. Thus, Sano's group were labeled as the "evil ones" and killed. Thus, Sano now wears the symbol evil as a statement against the government. If I am wrong, sorry and please feel free to correct me.

Little correction. The meiji government did paint the backs of the fake soilders (Sanosuke group) with the kanji "wicked", so he is now wearing the kanji in memory of that fact.
Fake soilders because the government used them as added troops, but they really were just farmers.

thx guys this clears up that little itching question :)
on a side note: LBW you can get alot of english manga too in belgium but it's more expensive (most of them are tokyopop, some are viz), I know a few shops in Antwerpen Brussel or Leuven where you can get those, another way is to order them online, just msg me if you wanna know location of those stores
No thanks, I know all those stores in Antwerpen; I'm just not willing to pay a shitload of money for the american versions. x)

didnt kenshin cut it in half when they fought the first time
also he is better with his fists
Saitoh's better w/ his fists :D Sano got owned by him during their little fight before the journey to Kyoto (?)
Not sure if that's quite right...I'm really not a big fan of Kenshin...but I know Saitoh owns Sano >_>

well that was before our amigo sanusuke learned about the double kick trick, i'd love to see them facing each other again :)
Oh yeah, Saito is cool too :)
yes but each time , Saito refuses the fight :)
and LBW,u said u hate french, do u mean french people or the language because no racism here ...
The language; I'm not a racist at all, sorry if it was a little confusing.
You can't blame me, being forced to learn it, having the biggest asshole teachers for it every single year and still not being able to speak it decently. ^^';;

Sanosuke is of the sekhio army that went up against the Meji government and the whole army dispersed when Taishou Sangara was beheaded
Sano owns Siatoh now...
--> Futae No Kiwami ... ring any bells?? i'd love to see Saitoh fight against that bare-handed..
btw french manga isn't that bad...i am flemish myself and more fonder of english then of french but i can bear with it

Sano = GAR... at least to a certain extent jojo.
I got the 28 volumes of this manga here in Mexico thanks to editorial Vid. Maybe the only question that I remained with is if Sano's right hand eventually healed completely... we all know ke fu**ed it up against Anji and Shishio and he continued to use it in that state against Enishi's grunts. Even if he diminished the potential recoil damage by using the two hands per hit I think some permanent damage was plausible... well, just a random thought.
Hisoka??

actually from all indications saitoh is still faster and more skilled that him. the only thing he needs to do is not to get hit with that by his right/left hand.
not to mention saitoh normally uses a sword

The spelling of Hjime's first name is incorrect. It is Saito. I think that he has a fair chance of beating sano as he had a fist fight before and sano lost
hmm i find it hard to speculate on it.
it's true that Saito has advantages in speed, defensive capabalities adn that Sano's Futae no Kiwami is limited to only his right fist.
but still it's a critical hit.
hmm well that's one lil thing the manga/anime left unanswered :d
