Joined with Saitō, Kenshin goes to face Shishio, who is now in the village. After meeting Shishio, Kenshin is attacked by the village’s chief and Shishio’s soldier, Senkaku. Kenshin easily defeats Senkaku, but Shishio leaves to Kyoto disappointed by Kenshin’s act of saving people. However, Shishio leaves Ōkubo’s murderer, Seta Sōjirō, to fight Kenshin. The fight ends as a tie as both of their swords are broken, and the village is freed. While going to Kyoto, Sanosuke meets a fallen-monk, Yūkyūzan Anji, who teaches him the Futae no Kiwami technique that allows him to perform two hits at the same moment. This helps Sanosuke to get stronger without knowing that Anji is a soldier from Shishio. Kenshin and Misao arrive Kyoto, and meet Misao’s guardian, the former Oniwabanshū, Okina. Okina helps Kenshin to find Sekku Arai, son of the creator of Kenshin’s sakabatō sword, Shakku Arai, but he decides not to develop another sword as he hates violence.
