Sanosuke and Inui
are about equally matched. The continually throw
their fists at one another, but never manage to
land a single hit. When tied up fist-to-fist however,
Inui nails Sanosuke with the Goufubaku. Sanosuke
staggers back a bit, but simply pushes his neck
back into place. The two brawlers charge at one
another, and again it is Inui who is successful
in landing an attack. Inui springs off of Sanosuke's
knee, lands on his shoulder, backflips in midair,
lands upside-down and grabs Sanosuke's neck, pinches
a nerve on it, uses his weight to land on the
ground, and then, still holding Sanosuke's neck,
throws his foe straight through the Kamiya Dojo.
He calls that maneuver the Ashurasai.
Inui steps into
the Kamiya Dojo, where Kenshin is being treated
by Megumi and Kaoru, through the entrance he created.
The Muteki Ryuu student eyes the rurouni and begins
boasting. Before he gets too ahead of himself,
thinking that he's won the battle, Inui notices
Sanosuke peeling himself off of the wall he crashed
into. Although his breathing is irregular due
to the attacks Inui had focused onto his neck,
Sanosuke promises to teach his opponent a lesson.
