I'm not too familiar with Rurouni Kenshin. I barely remember what little I've seen, but I have no problem with allowing those techniques.<br/><br/>Zaer can go with the idea that Tashi has been taught the style exclusively due to his bloodline. ...But Maki already knows a few Mibu kin and hijutsus just from being around them in the village. I imagine they don't like her much for that.<br/><br/>Even if it was passed down, one master and one student... there are plenty of kenjutsu masters out there who probably saw it in the past and developed a copy of it independently, maybe even a Sharingan user.<br/><br/>Oh, and a question? Was Tashi born with the permanent red eyes (minus mechanical benefit) or have they yet to activate?<br/><br/>I ask because I mentioned something IC and assumed it was from birth cause his character sheet says 'crimson red' ;)
