Gein and
Aoshi repeat their demands, but neither
one's are met. It is Gein to make the
first move. With the diamond-edge wire
on his fingertips, he thrusts his hand
forward, but Aoshi smoothly evades with
his waterflow technique. Seeing that a
straightforward attack won't work, Gein
raises a bunch of gravestones with the
power of his fingers and some help from
wires, causing them to all crash down
upon Aoshi. However, when the smoke clears,
the former Oniwa Banshu leader stands
tall with his kodachis drawn.
After witnessing
his skill and power, Gein begins talking
with Aoshi of an alliance. The two who
both wear black would do well together,
but Aoshi declines without a second thought.
He would not like to allow the strength
of the Oniwa Banshu's techniques to be
handed down nor used for such purposes,
especially in a new era where such things
are and will be no longer necessary.
The answer
Aoshi had found in his meditations in
Kyoto does not suit well with Gein. The
masked man doesn't take to kindly to being
rejected. Again, he drives his diamond-edge
wired hand forward, but it is stopped
in its tracks when Aoshi kicks up his
long sheath at it. For once in the conflict,
Aoshi attacks. He executes the Gokou Juuji,
though only cuts through thin air. Gein
had leapt up into a tree, thanks to some
assistance from what else - wires. As
he begins bragging about how wires can
be used in so many effective ways, his
skull mask suddenly breaks off, revealing
the sick old man that has been hiding
underneath.
