Hiten
Mitsurugi master finds young Shinta digging graves for bandits and slavers
killed earlier. Shinta explains that all people are only bodies after death.
Master decides to take Shinta as his student and dubs him Kenshin.
Kenshin
wakes up at Master's home, asks if Kaoru ever turned up. He has been
unconscious for three days, and master tells him that Kaoru is most likely
dead. Kenshin, grief-stricken, asks to learn the final Hiten Mitsurugi
technique, Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki, in order to defeat Shishio Makoto and
prevent any more loss. Master obliges, and the two engage in a duel during
training. That night, Master tells Kenshin that something is wrong with him,
and that he will be given the night to think it over. If he cannot find what it
is, Master's final task is to kill him. Kenshin is unable to think of what
might be wrong and engages in another duel with Master. During the duel, he
learns that he had thrown away his will to live during his time as the assassin
Battousai, and therefore is unable to defeat Shishio as he has no intention of
coming out alive. Afterwards, he is able to learn Amakakeru As he concludes his
training and is about to depart, Misao arrives with news. Kaoru has been
rescued and is recovering in a Kyoto hospital, but Kenshin has been branded a
wanted criminal throughout Japan for his work as Battousai during the Bakumatsu
era. Knowing that Shishio intends to take Tokyo next, Kenshin intends to return
home by a secret route given to him by the Oniwabanshu at the Aoiya Inn, but discover
that Okina has gone on ahead and encountered Aoshi, who was lying in wait for
Kenshin on that route. Kenshin and Misao arrive and Kenshin duels with Aoshi,
during which Okina dies of his wounds. Back at the Aoiya, Misao tends to Aoshi
and convinces him to return to the Oniwabanshu. On Shishio's battleship,
Shishio, his partner Yumi, and one of his men, Hori discover that because of
Shishio's inability to sweat, he can only fight for fifteen minutes without
putting his health at risk.
Kenshin
arrives back at the Kamiya Kashin dojo. Megumi, who has been looking after the
dojo in Kaoru's absence, welcomes him back, but shortly after his arrival
police arrive to apprehend him. Wishing to prevent further violence, he
surrenders, and is taken to the Home Ministry head, Ito. Ito explains that he
had tried to talk Shishio into abandoning his plan to overthrow the Meiji
government, but the negotiations had ended in disaster and Shishio, still
bitter about his cruel treatment by the new government (being burned alive),
would only leave the government be for the time being if Kenshin were arrested
and executed. Otherwise, he intends to attack Tokyo. Kenshin convinces Ito that
he can defeat Shishio if Ito helps him. Ito seemingly decides to go through
with the execution anyway. Kaoru, Sano and Yahiko return to Tokyo soon after
and, to their horror, discover that Kenshin is to be executed the same day.
Shishio's men attend the execution to ensure that Ito carries through with the
negotiations. The execution, however, is merely staged, and Kenshin is freed
and assisted in defeating the men by Hajime Saito. Sano joins them, and the
three are rowed to Shishio's battleship. While searching for Shishio, Kenshin
meets Seta Soujiro again and the two rematch. Kenshin comes out victorious, and
Soujiro, who originally believed Kenshin to be weak, is crushed and confused.
Kenshin finally finds Shishio, Yumi and Hori waiting in the ship's hold. a duel
ensues between Kenshin and Shishio, who easily overpowers Kenshin. Saito arrives
immediately after, followed by Sano and Aoshi, who followed them from Kyoto,
but even the four together are no match for Shishio. Shishio hits his limit and
Yumi attempts to shield him from Kenshin while Shishio stabs both of them,
killing her. Meanwhile, Ito's men begin firing at the ship, intending to sink
it and drown Shishio and Kenshin inside. Shishio condemns Kenshin for helping
such a government. Kenshin agrees that the new Meiji government is faulty, but
argues that the age of assassins like himself and Shishio is over and that
there should be no more violence. He manages to defeat Shishio using Amakakeru,
though not physically harming him. Shishio, who has long hit his limit and
whose body has become overheated, catches fire and burns to death before the
group's eyes.
Saito,
Aoshi, Sano and Kenshin escape from the ship before it sinks and are brought
back to shore, where Kaoru, Yahiko, Misao and the Home Ministry are waiting.
Ito acknowledges Kenshin as Kenshin for the first time and declares Battousai
dead, and his men salute the group as heroes. Aoshi and Misao return to Kyoto,
and Kaoru, Kenshin, Yahiko and Sano return to the dojo. Kaoru notes the change
of season, as well as the end of Kenshin's life as Battousai. Kenshin expresses
his desire to continue living at the dojo and to move forward into the new era,
and invites Kaoru to move forward with him.
