thats because keiki doesn't noe how to help yet after all youko is his 2nd empress. And u shud continue watching wat happens once ur done u'll c that infact she does have a man there to support her and keep her calm. I wish in that world the empress can get married, then I'll be able to see the joy wen Youko marries...

If they go on with the episodes (68 supposed to be) a good chance for Yuko would be the mouse man. It had been slightly hinted at. But in the novels
( partly translated online in English for those interested ) Yuko is not a main character and it's not very focused on her. So one could also say Keiki.

Asano asked Youko what is his purpose in this world. I think dying is his purpose. It gives Youko the insipration for her first Imperial xxx (forget what it is).

i didn't really care personally cause he became a maniac

[kenshinrules]

man i have to say that was a very sad moment but he did go insane but the sad part is that he could have been saved like sujimoto was and then man this was sad

[vickeyv]

yeah i mean i wonder at times why that happened but then the seire sowuld have had too happy an ending

[blue-elf]

Asano's death was sad but it was nessasary for Youko to relize the truth about the sword!

I think the author don't want to see him and want Yoko to more encourage.
