But, yeah, very much out of context. Dude was totally cool and likable and not wanting the small children.
You aren't the only one. Toonami was the only place where I ever saw Rurouni Kenshin, and I definitely remember this episode (and I'm pretty sure this particular scene was still in there). But I might just be experiencing a false memory effect, so don't take this as an absolute.
