Seijuurou Hiko surge para salvar o pessoal do Aoi-ya, e Kenshin decide seu destino com Soujirou. Quando todos imaginavam que as coisas no Aoi-ya estavam resolvidas – com as derrotas de Hen-ya e Kamatari e a fuga de Iwanbou -, eis que surge um novo problema. O gigante guerreiro Fuji e Saizuchi aparecem para dar um jeito na situação. Porém, os dois não contavam com a chegada de Seijuurou Hiko, o mestre de Battousai. Muita ação nesta edição de Samurai X.
Nobuhiro Watsuki was born in Nagaoka, Niigata prefecture, Japan. When Watsuki was a young boy, his brother, who was three years older, drew manga. Watsuki’s older brother was his role model so he started drawing Manga as well. Watsuki was also inspired by a variety of early Manga artists such as Osamu Tezuka and Fujiko F. Fujio. Later on, his brother stopped drawing manga but, "Because Mr. Watsuki was dumb, he kept drawing it (manga) for a while." *He once worked as an assistant for his favorite author Takeshi Obata.
