appearance *

Shishio: Secret sword of finality
Built by fire's soul almighty!!

Everybody: *Fire's soul almighty mayst be a kenjutsu of... ?*

Hoji: (stares at Yumi)

(Yumi shakes her head in unknowing)

Hoji: *Yumi doth not even regard, truly a secret sword!! Fear be that 'tis
Shishio-sama's most lethal stance...*

Sano: *If't be the final stance of the climax, Kenshin too has one... !!*

Aoshi: *However to wield in a bodily matter of such, canst the force be
truly fully tapped... ?*

Saitou: *No matter what, this wouldst be the final attack...*

(Kenshin sheaths his sword)

Yumi: *Stance of the Battou-jutsu!! Truly the Ama Kakeru ----*

Hoji: *Fret not!! With wounds of that, an attacking force would be highly
restricted by!!*

Yumi: (recalling Soujirou's words) *Too he if did apply, Soujirou had
earlier still discovered the secret! Ama Kakeru Ryuu No Hirameki be the
battou-jutsu with force centered on the left foot! Be't right, be't left,
or be't a split second shuffle, Shishio-sama wouldst not see loose!!*

Shishio: ... too long hath not such enjoyable battles brushed by. These
joyful scenes from Bakumatsu to the planning of the country strategy, such
a long time with no tastes.

Kenshin: ... the joyfulness do not so belong. This useless one admires thy
strength within. However Shishio, talk we about 'time' then, the 'Hitokiri'
moments of both hath earlier still been demolished in faith...

Shishio: End it has not. I myself still utilize this blade of no change.

Kenshin: End it hath. When this unworthy one hath utilized this reverse
blade.

(Shishio charges towards Kenshin. Kenshin does likewise)

Hoji and Yumi: *Right... or left?*

(Kenshin stomps on the floor, causing a crater to form)

Shishio: *LEFT!!*

Ama Kakeru Ryuu No Hirameki!!

(Shishio brings his sword to the side and cleanly blocks Kenshin's attack)

Everyone: BLOCKED!!!!

(Kenshin and Shishio still locked with their sword. Shishio pushes
Kenshin's sword aside)

Yumi: *Finalized!*

Hoji: *A complete break of the Ama Kakeru Ryuu No Hirameki!!*

Shishio: Hooaaa aaaaaaAAAAAAAAH!!!

(Shishio completely scratches his blade against the sheath, which erupts
into flames, one round after another, spiralling up to swallow...)

This is the secret sword of finality
built by fire's soul almighty!!!!

(Saitou, Aoshi and Sano stares)

(Kenshin whirls around, escaping from Shishio)

(leaves and rocks start being attracted to a center)

Shishio: (as the force tugs his legs) Wh... What?? This is!!! Sucked in by
Battousai!? ... By no means! To offer such great attraction is the front
vacuum of him!! The break of the first attack's force, has rebounded off
more air than what canst be easily replaced, therefore the things of around
start accelerating towards!*

(Kenshin whirls back)

Kenshin: WWWwwwwwwwwwwuuuu uu aaaaa AAAA!!

(stomps on his left leg to create a rock rain)

AMA KAKERU RYUU NO HIRAMEKI!!!

Kenshin: Ougi Ama Kakeru Ryuu No Hirameki be the battou-jutsu which exceeds
the speed of supernatural! In the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Battou-jutsu, a two
pronged attack of no leaks within possible at all!!!

(hits Shishio)
