Kenshin sets off for Kyoto with the same intention as Okina. He and Misao confront Shishio at Shingetsu Village. Shishio threatens to overthrow the current government and create a new world that needs power, but is denied by Kenshin. Sojiro Seta faces off with Kenshin. The result is that Kenshin's reverse-blade sword is broken.
