And the scary part is that this isn't that far off from Sony's preview for
the dub (a prject which has since been cancelled due to major fan
opposition) titled: Samurai X

I'm sure many of you out there have been wondering about
whether Rurouni Kenshin will be distributed in the United
States commercially. Well, worry no longer for not only
will Rurouni Kenshin be introduced to an American audience
it will be done so on network television. And here is just
a taste of what's to come!
In the 1850's there was a great war. A man stepped forth to
protect the weak and he was called.....
THE X-SOLDIER
Hi!Mura Kensun is the X-Soldier who has gone the route
of peace and will no longer harm anyone unless they're bad.
His sword will be sold in a lifesize edition and will be able to
be broken up into more easily ingestible plastic pieces for
the little kids.
Kathy is Hi!Mura's best friend in the whole wide world. She
runs the karate school where Hi!Mura stays and has a mysterious
and exotic Canadian accent.
Sauna is the ganster from the wrong side of town who will be
giving a cool hip hop influence to the show. With rhymes
like 'I'm the Sauna the gangster and I'm here to say, I'm the rappest
rapper in the USA!' will make this program a sure fire hit.
Yohiko is Hi!mura's brother who wants to be an X-Soldier too! At
Hi!mura's side, Yohiko will accomplish his dream with the help of
voice artist Saffron Henderson.
Saido Heyjim is a friend of Hi!mura although he'll never admit it.
His moto of 'Arrest Evil Instantly' is harsh, but fair. Also the white
blur that comes from his mouth is a magical item that gives mysterious
powers.
Shisho is the ultimate bad guy who only lives to hurt people. His credo
of 'The strong eat the food of the weak' has really gotten on Hi!mura's
nerves who vows to put this villain in jail. But that's going to be hard
when you face a bad guy who has the voice of Freeza from the popular
American series Dragon Ball Z.
This is going to be the most exciting series on television ever! So, go and
turn on the TV and see it now!
The X-Soldier premiers March 5, 2000.
