Among the Ten Swords, Cho is known as the “sword hunter” and wields a number of strange swords. Kenshin, fighting with a broken reverse-blade sword, has a difficult time, but he continues to fight for Seiku’s son, Iori, and for peace in the new era, risking his life. Moved by Kenshin’s words, “It is not the ‘sword’ that creates the age, but the ‘man’ who wields it, that it is,” Seiku finally decides to entrust Kenshin with the last of his father’s swords.
