Three-Front Battle: Fight 1, Part 2

Iwanbou continually attempts to hit Kenshin with the Senwangeki, but misses each time. Even though Kenshin has suffered internal bleeding, he is still able to move at an amazing speed. When backed away from Gein's creation, Kenshin hoists his sword up into a thrust stance. Gein feels confident that Kenshin's upcoming attack won't do anything, since Iwanbou #3 is partially made up of steel wire. When his battlecry is released, Kenshin charges forward, kicking up pieces of loose ground up in the process.

Kenshin stabs Iwanbou in the left shoulder, but a piece of rock had gotten in the way of his sword's tip. It looks as though Kenshin's attack had done nothing. Gein quickly disperses Iwanbou's final attack, the Senshi Senwangeki. All of Iwanbou's fingers rotate with great speed, yet Kenshin stays put, not moving an inch. As Iwanbou's fingers loom closer to Kenshin, its arm suddenly stop moving. What had happened was that the rock Kenshin "accidentally" thrusted into Iwanbou's left shoulder got jammed in its system. Kenshin credits Gein for his creation, but reminds him that he promised to tear it apart. The Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu succession technique is revealed to many for the first time; Kenshin hits Gein and Iwanbou with the Ama Kakeru Ryuu no Hirameki.
