Has Kenshin found his answer?

Kenshin has revived and is now ready to retrieve Kaoru with the help of his dearest friends (and Saitou). We see how much Kenshin has changed in this volume from what he was like during the earlier volumes. And I can tell you, he's come a long way! The God Beast battles are a bit monotonous compared to the coming battle with Enishi, but they give Sanosuke, Yahiko, Aoshi and Saitou one last chance to shine. We see how much Sano and Yahiko have grown up and we see the sheer awesomeness of Aoshi and Saitou's powerful attacks. Kenshin's battle with Enishi far outshines his battle with Shishio in my opinion. The action is intense and almost non-stop. Kenshin's mid-battle speech is truly inspiring. The finale of the battle leaves me breathless.
