Know what...we have come to the last part of Rurouni Kenshin...awww......四乃森 蒼紫 (Shinomori Aoshi)
四乃森 蒼紫 (Shinomori Aoshi) is a fictional "Okashira", or leader, of the Oniwabanshu (お庭番衆). He is 26 years old with black hair and ice-blue eyes. Stern, concise and cold, he is a genius spy. He seems to be unemotional most of the time but he has a soft spot reserved for his friends and Makimachi Misao (巻町 操). Aoshi was raised a ninja of the Oniwabanshū, who worked for the Shogunate government during the Edo period. Aoshi came face to face with Kenshin, When Kenshin was trying to rescue Takani Megumi (高荷 恵). Their battle ends with Aoshi's defeat. To put an end to the feud between them and to prove who is truly the strongest, both Aoshi and Kenshin decided to use their strongest attacks (their succession attacks, or "Ōugi"). Kenshin's Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki defeats Aoshi's Kaiten Kenbu Rokuren. Before Kenshin leaves Kyoto, he asks if Aoshi would like to share a drink (of sake) with him; Aoshi refuses the offer, but goes on to say he would be willing to have tea with him when they meet again.
Aoshi's weapon of choice is a kodachi (小太刀:こだち). He originally used only one of these short swords, but later used a two-sworded style, employing a pair of the swords. When in their saya (鞘: さや; a sheath for holding a sword or other large blade), they appear to be part of a single sheathed sword, one blade appearing to be the hilt, while the second blade is stationed opposite the first and blends in with the saya itself, giving it the impression of being a nodachi ((野太刀:のだち, nodachi) is a large two-handed Japanese sword) . A dangerous opponent, he uses his speed together with a mix of sword and hand-to-hand combat moves called Kenpo (拳法, Kenpō: literally meaning "fist principles" or "fist method").
志々雄真実 (Makoto Shishio)
One of the most powerful enemies Kenshin has ever faced. The new Meiji government believed it would be in their best interests to eliminate Shishio as not only being powerful, Shishio is also a man who desired power. Thus during the Boshin War, Shishio was rendered unconscious by a blow to the head, doused in oil and burned alive by the new government formed by the Ishin Shishi. He survived, sustaining severe damage to his entire body. As a result of the damage done to his sweat glands, he could fight for no more than fifteen minutes; otherwise his temperature would continue to rise.
Afterwards, he assembled a group of the best fighters in Japan, called the Juppongatana (Ten Swords), to overthrow the Meiji government. Shishio envisioned a Japan ruled by him, enforcing the principles of natural selection, or what he called "the strong eat the weak. During his last fight with Kenshin, his body became so hot, his blood started to evaporate. Yumi (his lover) attempted to stop Kenshin out of concern for Shishio, but was impaled by Shishio's sword along with Kenshin. Yumi died happily knowing she had finally been of use in battle to her love. In the end Shishio was not exactly able to "surpass his limit". Right when he reached his limit, his temperature skyrocketed—igniting his body fat and oils—leaving him to die burning alive. As he did, he laughed maniacally, the meaning to the laughter lost to everyone. His most loyal servant, Hoji, followed him straight to the grave, slitting his throat in prison when the Meiji Government refused to let him have a public trial. At the end of the Kyoto Arc, he is seen with Yumi and Hoji in Hell. All three walk off into the distance, with Shishio claiming that he will conquer Hell.
One of the swords he uses is a serrated blade called Mugenjin which is soaked in the flesh and body fat of the victims he had killed over the years. As a result, he is able to execute fire-oriented techniques. Like Kenshin, he is able to register his opponent's techniques, and then analyze their strengths and weaknesses, taking advantage of them. His will to live is abnormally strong, almost as powerful as Kenshin's.Shishio's strength, durability, and ability to read his opponent place him in the same league as Kenshin. Shishio uses Mugenjin to execute techniques referred to by Hoji as "The Three Secret Swords".
Let's hope there will be more people falling in love with this set of beauty….
To be con't…
