At last, Kenshin faces off against Aoshi Shinomori, the head of the Oniwaban Group. In the Bakumatsu Era, the battle-obsessed "Oniwaban group" lost their meaning of existence after surrendering the castle they served without even being able to fight. Aoshi is unable to bear this regret and is in earnest pursuit of the title of the strongest warrior. As a former Revolutionary warrior, Kenshin cannot tolerate conflict without morality. Two men who made killing their profession in the Bakumatsu Era clash against one another, putting their pride on the line.
is nothing more than bloody,
ice-cold competitiveness!
!ما هو إلاّ رغبة قاسية ودمويّة في القتال
In dir ist nur ein blutiger,
eiskalter Kampfgeist!
Solo tienes un espíritu de pelea
sanguinario y frío como el hielo.
¡Tienes un espíritu hostil
y sanguinario, como el hielo!
Tu n’es animé que par la perspective
de combats sanglants.
Dentro di voi non scorre altro che 
il gelido sangue di un guerrafondaio!
Você tem um coração combativo,
frio como o gelo, em busca de sangue.
У тебя нет гордости, а есть лишь жажда
смертельного соперничества!
