Hiko Seijuro vs Fuji

The fight at Aoiya takes a bad turn when the other two members of the Ten Swords, Elder Saizuchi and Fuji, show up unexpectedly. It seems like all hope of winning is lost. But, right on time, Seijuro arrives and faces Fuji, convincing him to have a fair battle.

Hiko deserves some credit; he's the strongest swordsman in the entire series. Unfortunately, he wasn't used much in the anime or manga because he could easily solve all of Kenshin’s problems if given a more active role. Still, we get to see him in action against Fuji, even though the fight is shorter compared to other major fights in the series. It's evident that a lot of thought went into his entrance.
