When finding out this, Yahiko encounters the bosses of Tsubame and defeats them after recognizing he wants to protect Tsubame. Some time later, during a practice in another dojo, a man called Isurugi Raijūta almost kills the teacher of the dojo forcing Kenshin to fight against him. Being impressed with his abilities, Raijūta asks Kenshin to join his dojo, which he rejects.
