Episode Title:
Aoshi vs. Okina
Episode Description:
As Hiko tests Kenshin's deteriorated swordsmanship, Hoshi sends assassins to kill the former Oniwaban. Okina easily defeats them and kills them with one using his last forces to send a message to Shishio. This leads Aoshi to confront Okina himself and obtain Kenshin's location himself. The two former Oniwaban face each other while a terrified Misao chases after them. After several exchanges between Oniwaban skills, Aoshi uses the ogi from his Kodachi nito Ryu, the Kaiten Kenbu Rokuren to finish Okina. As a calm Misao believes she found them before the chaos ended, Okina's entire body suffers a massive blood loss. A stoic Aoshi tells Misao never to disappear and never chase him again as he leaves the area.
