Another Strength

Enishi unveils his weapon, a fine tachi. Before they clash, Kenshin asks his opponent to remove his spectacles, otherwise, he may go blind in combat. Enishi refuses to listen; he is so confident that he will not be touched.

With great speed, Enishi lunges forward. He sweeps his sword at Kenshin, who manages to leap over it. Kenshin, still in the air, counters by striking downward with his Sakabatou. The attack is blocked.

As they continue their bout, Kenshin and Enishi moves further and further away from the onlookers. Enishi gets tired of parrying and dodging. He had hoped that Kenshin would show off a Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu technique, but since that did not happen, Enishi decides to reveal one of his.

Enishi kicks up his tachi at Kenshin's chest. Although the rurouni had blocked, with that added kick, he is knocked back a couple of feet and into a wall. The technique Enishi calls Shuugeki Tou Sei is just one move of his perfected Watoujutsu style, an art passed down from the ancient times of Japan, perfected in China, and mastered by the young man in ten years to carry out his revenge.
