Part 245: Hiten Mitsurugi-ryuu, Sealed.
Yahiko: A contest of height, against Kenshin? Against the Hiten Mitsurugi School?
Enishi: Well? Do you accept, or not?
Kenshin: I've already accepted this fight. Whatever your challenge, I'm here to meet it.
Enishi: Excellent.
(He takes off his earring and holds it up.)
Enishi: The signal. Let's go!
(He throws the earring in the air; as it hits the ground, they both leap.)
Misao: I knew it! Himura's higher!

(Kenshin hits the ground first but leaps up again immediately, hitting Enishi in midair.)
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryuu Ryuushousen!
Enishi: Are you sure you want to push me up in the air again? Don't you get it? You don't have mastery of the air here. That mastery is mine!

(He slams Kenshin back down into the ground.)
Megumi: Ken-san!
Misao: Himura!
(Both regain their feet.)
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryuu Ryuukansen!
Watoujutsu Senran Tousei!
(The two whirling attacks place them some distance apart.)
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryuu Kuzu--
