Genbu makes himself
seem like the most sinister of his brothers when
he says that he likes fighting younger opponents
because he has the pleasure of robbing them of their
futures. With his pole assembled back into one piece,
Genbu tries to strike Yahiko and again it is blocked
by the boy's crossed wrists. The same thing happens;
Genbu twists his pole, separating it. This time,
however, Yahiko's hands get caught in the chain.
Genbu launches his opponent up, thrusts him in the
chest, then slams him down all with his pole.
Arrogantly, Genbu
begins looking for his next fight, thinking that
he's through with Yahiko. To his surprise, Yahiko
gets to his feet and clashes with him. The determination
to beat Genbu with the Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu's succession
technique is what's keeping him going. Genbu again
tries to strike Yahiko, but unlike the last two
times, Yahiko hits Genbu's weapon with the butt
of his shinai, rendering it useless to be shifted
into its separated sections. Genbu knows that if
he steps either forward or backwards, he'll be done
for. The great strategist of the Four Gods tries
to think up a plan while Yahiko begins the countdown
to make his move. What Genbu comes up with is the
assumption that his opponent is just a kid. That
mistake leads to his downfall. Yahiko executes the
Hawatari. It not only defeats Genbu, but breaks
his pesky pole as well.
Hei Shin looks on
in disbelief as the Four Gods are defeated before
his eyes. There is no other choice but to turn back
for him. Hei Shin sets off back to the mansion,
swearing that he'll get revenge by releasing all
of the soldiers with his entire arsenal of weapons.
What he forgot was that he was suppose to disappear
from a certain someone's sight in half an hour,
and unfortunately for him, he happens to bump into
that someone after only running for a few seconds.
Enishi knocks out Hei Shin with one fist, disfiguring
his face. The time has come for Kenshin and Enishi
to square off once again.
