Description

Savage Han'nya – Honorable Shikijo Kenshin fights Hannya but initially struggles to avoid getting hit. Using his sakabatō pointed forward in a defensive stance, he determines that Hannya's tattoos are giving the illusion of his arms changing length, allowing him to land a blow. Hannya's mask breaks, revealing a mutilated face due to his work as a spy. Kenshin defeats Hannya and the group move to the next floor of the mansion, where they are confronted by the physically imposing Shikijo. Sanosuke decides to face him alone while Kenshin and Yahiko find Megumi. Shikijo reveals how Shinomori took him in for his strength and invites Sanosuke to join them, impressed by his'. Preferring Kenshin's pacifist values over the strength of the Oniwaban, Sanosuke defeats Shikijo but loses consciousness soon after. Elsewhere, Kenshin confronts Shinomori and both prepare to fight.
