Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Sealed

Enishi throws his earring up as a signal of when the fight will resume and take to the air. Once it hits the sand, both Kenshin and Enishi leap up. Although Kenshin has the height advantage, Enishi slashes him in midair, a technique which he calls Shikku Tou Sei. Kenshin tries to parry the attack, but can't block well enough. His right shoulder is sliced into, knocking him down to the ground. The rurouni comes back with the Ryu Shou Sen as Enishi soars down towards him. That attack is blocked by its target's wristguard. Enishi sees an opening and again strikes Kenshin with the Shikku Tou Sei while still hovering in the air.

Off the ground, Enishi definitely has the advantage and the ability to almost fly as it seems. Back on the surface, he and Kenshin clash with the Sen Ran Tou Sei and Ryu Shou Sen. Kenshin's technique is defeated, but he tries to fire back with the Kuzu Ryu Sen. Enishi prevents the move from being executed. He thrusts his hand straight at Kenshin's mouth, sending him crashing through a tree.

After being hit with only a few of Enishi's moves, Kenshin has taken quite a bit of damage. The fight is different from the last one because Enishi is not holding back. Yet, there is a factor that Kenshin has up his sleeve that can match Enishi's dedication to annihilate and that is the answer he has found to atone for all of his crimes.
