** Episodes 43 & 44 of the anime are ripe with tons of funny moments between Kenshin and Seijuro.
** After Kenshin is down during training, Seijuro starts to reminisce back to humiliating moments that Kenshin had.
--> '''Seijuro:''' If you're not going to get up, I'll just have to keep reminiscing about the past. Let's see: I seem to recall the last time you wet your bed. It was bright Autumn day when you were 8 years old. (Kenshin angrily gets up in Seijuro's face) Or how about the time you were starving and you ate those funny mushrooms? That sure brings back memories. (Sees that Kenshin's up, and pissed) Oh, so you're up. I'm still reminiscing, so rest some more if you want.
** As Kenshin is learning about the ''Kuzu Ryu Sen'', we get this:
--> '''Seijuro:''' Hey! Hey! Stop standing there and give it a try!\\

** As Yahiko and Sanosuke are trying to get the ring off of Kaoru, Kenshin theorizes that her hands must be rough from all the swordsmanship she practices on a daily basis. Kaoru takes offense to this and punches Kenshin through a wall, with the ring also slipping off in the process.
