The battle to decide the fate of Meiji-era swordsmanship has begun!

His sakabato broken in battle, Kenshin seeks out the man who forged it--Arai Shakke--only to be turned away. Seike, son of the legendary swordsmith, had for a time been continuing his father's work (the forging of katana, meant for killing), but has since given up that calling and spends his time making humble cooking knives. Respecting Seike's wishes, Kenshin leaves without the desired blade...but not before Shishio's spies learn that Shakke has forged one last sword. Meanwhile, Shishio arrives in Kyoto with orders for his ten generals or "Ten Swords" to join him and put into motion a plan to take over Japan. Che, one of Shishio's "swords," learns early of Shakke's final blade and determines to secure it at any cost. Now, armed only with his broken sakabate, Kenshin must face Che in battle...
