Was watching Ruroni Kenchin and I have a question

On Toonami today on Ruroni Kenchin a lady was reffering to Kenchin as Sir Ken. I thought he was a Ronin. Would he still be addressed as sir?

Was the lady by chance Megumi? She calls him Ken-San which would really be "Mr. Ken," but maybe they screwed it up and said "sir Ken" instead since that is also polite. BTW I don't think they meant Sir Ken as in...a knight or whatever. I think it was more of a sir Ken (i.e. lower case making it not a title).

BTW stop watching Toonami's version of Kenshin it sucks balls and has like 15% of the story content cut...no joke.

Were you talking to me? If so...I meant more than just the dub..I was referring to cut content...like story stuff too.

If you're not referring to me...disregard :).

I know its just a dub but it struck me as odd that she sounded like she was caling him Sir Ken. I was wondering if someone who was writing script for the dub assumed Samurai in the sae role as Western cultiure knights.

But I see the point in that it may have been a informal reference, I was just curious as to what I thought was an implied title. Its not like I was looking for historical accuracy, I just thought the was she addressed him was odd at first.

I normally dont get to watch Ruroni Kenshin in the days as I dont get home til later. But from what I have seen I do very much like it.
