Volume 4 - 1st printing. Collects Rurouni Kenshin TPB (2003-2006 Viz Digest) Vol. 10-12. Story and art by Nobuhiro Watsuki. Kenshin journeys to the home of Arai Shakkû, the legendary swordsmith who forged his sakabatô, in the hope of procuring a replacement for the blade that was shattered in a fight with Seta Sôjirô. Instead of Shakkû, though, Kenshin finds his son Seikû, who has given up making instruments of death. But when word gets around that before he passed away Shakkû forged a final blade, one of Shishio's warriors also decides to pay a visit, and he doesn't plan on leaving empty-handed. With the safety of Seikû's family at risk, Kenshin springs into action, even if it means fighting without a weapon at his side! Next, Kenshin realizes that if he is to defeat Shishio the time has come to complete his training in Hiten Mitsurugi-ryû. But first he will have to convince his incredibly stubborn master, Hiko Seijûrô, that he is indeed worthy of Hiten Mitsurugi's greatest secrets and techniques. Then, with all ten of his Juppongatana "Ten Swords" fighters now in Kyoto, Shishio kicks his scheme to radically alter the face of Meiji Era Japan into high gear. Can Kenshin, Saitô and Misao marshal their resources in time to prevent Shishio from burning Kyoto to the ground? Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 574 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $17.99.

Isurugi Raijûta, a truly old-school swordsman, comes to Kenshin and requests his aid in reforming the state of swordsmanship schools in Japan. Although Kenshin is intrigued by Raijûta's ideals, Raijûta's plan to "weed out" the schools he deems unfit is not in accordance with Kenshin's deepest-held beliefs. But when Kenshin walks away from the offer, one fact quickly becomes apparent: Raijûta will stop at nothing to ensure the supremacy of his own school of sword fighting!
