History[]
Kyoto Arc[]
When Misao returns from her trip to Tokyo, Ōmime greets Misao, along with everyone else. Days later, Ōmime asks Omasu where Okina is, which Okina replies that he is asleep. Ōmime says that Okina is acting strange lately, which Omasu replies that Okina's strangeness is not anything new. When the Owl Clan attacks the inn, Ōmime and the others easily manage to defeat them. When they start to interrogate the Owl Clan's leader, Okina asks Ōmime to bring him candles and large nails.
The next day, Ōmime meets with Kaoru and Yahiko after Okina goes to face Aoshi and Misao follows after him. When Aoshi suddenly shows up, Ōmime and the others realize that Okina has been defeated and wonders what to do. She then watches as Yahiko and Kaoru confront Aoshi, and proclaim that Aoshi won't be able to defeat Kenshin. After Okina is brought back to the Inn and Misao watches over him as he recovers, Ōmime and the others worry about Misao. After Misao reads Okina's letter, Ōmime and the others are shocked when Misao proclaims that she is the new leader of the Oniwanbanshu.
Days later, Ōmime is informed, through a letter, about Shishio's plan to start a fire in Kyoto. They then change into their ninja outfits and head out to stop the plan. They manage to inform everyone about the fires, and Ōmime splits up from the group and continues to stop the fires from starting. The next day, Ōmime stays by Okina's side, when he wakes up, as the others head out to bring Kenshin and his friends to his side. Ōmime and the others then listen as Okina explains that they have to kill Aoshi, but Kenshin replies that they can still bring him back. Ōmime is relieved when Misao starts to cry after hearing Kenshin say this. Later that night, Ōmime is with Okina and the others, when Okina explains to Kenshin that they will be fine as Kenshin worries about leaving them to fight Shishio.
The next day, Ōmime and the others bid Kenshin and Sano farewell, as they head off to fight Shishio. When the Juppongatan attack the Aoiya, Ōmime informs everyone that they are surrounded. After Okina explains the situation, Ōmime fought Iwanbō alongside the rest of the Oniwabanshū. After Iwanbo manages to wound them, Ōmime and the others manage to get back up after hearing Okina's speech. After Henya and Kamatari are defeated, Ōmime and the others prepare to fight Iwanbo with Kaoru and Misao, but Iwanbo just screams and leaves. When Fuji and Saizuchi arrive and destroys the inn, Ōmime and the others quickly recover Okina, who was sent flying. Ōmime then watches as Hiko arrives and defeats Fuji.
After Shishio is defeated, Ōmime and everyone else celebrate for a month. When Cho arrives, Ōmime listens as Cho explains what happened to the rest of Shishio's men. On the day Kenshin and his friends leave Kyoto, Ōmime and the rest bid them farewell.
Trivia[]
- She is voiced by Shizuka Okohira in the original Japanese version.
- While boomerangs are majorly known to have come from Australia, knowledge of their use was not known until roughly the Taisho period in Japan, when the education system's results from the Meiji began to fruition. Boomerangs were also documented to have been made in Ancient Egypt, Europe, India, and North America. Likely from this phenomena of simultaneous and spontaneous instance of historic human genius and discovery around the globe, it is likely this reason why Ōmime's weapons are termed "ku" shaped shuriken, being possibly secretly discovered by the Oniwabashu in their secrecy.
