The New Step

Before the outcome of the battle is decided, Enishi asks Kenshin if Tomoe is smiling for him. Kenshin replies that he doesn't know, nor cares. The smile of her's he saw the last time was enough. The only smiles he cares about now are those of his loved ones and friends. From now on, the past is the past in Kenshin's mind. Enishi grows furious. He swears that he'll take his sister's smile away from Kenshin if he no longer needs it, then charges into battle.

The Ama Kakeru Ryuu no Hirameki and Ko Fuku Zet Tou Sei collide. However, unlike last time, the Ama Kakeru Ryuu no Hirameki is much more powerful due to Kenshin finding the answer he was searching form. The Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu succession technique generates a vacuum. Enishi knows that he can win as long as his sister is smiling for him, but when he looks at his vision of Tomoe, her expression is still unchanged. The shock of seeing his own sister not support him causes Enishi to lose the grip on his tachi, leaving it only to be shattered in the vortex of the Ama Kakeru Ryuu no Hirameki.
