Geezer — Identity Unknown is the two hundred tenth chapter of the Rurouni Kenshin manga.
Synopsis[]
Yahiko and Misao enter the Rakuninmura and immediately find themselves getting into a fight with the locals which they find themselves outnumbered from a pile "technique" called Tenraku Jinsei. Out of the blue, a scruffy old man appears to break up the conflict and he gives a present of cigarette butts to the men. Yahiko and Misao are let free from the pile and have their presence questioned by Oibore, the nicest guy in the Rakuninmura. The kids explain what business they have, then walk away to find Kenshin.
A illusioned Kenshin finds himself in Hell again where he is approached by his successor with a smile on his face. He has come to laugh at the man that had defeated him, but Kenshin doesn't care what his successor has to say. Instead, Kenshin asks for Shishio to take him away, seeing that his life is completely meaningless. Shishio agrees to do so, but under one condition. What Shishio wants is for Kenshin to regret his sword, his beliefs, his life - his everything. The illusion breaks as Kenshin returns to his senses from Misao's call.
Back in reality, Kenshin is still in the same position as he was the day before which sickens Misao upon her first time. Yahiko kneels down and faces Kenshin with a straight face, that he will do his best to avenge Kaoru. Although he's unsure of what'll happen after that, Yahiko promises to grow strong by fighting with the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū and Kenshin's beliefs. He stands up and turns around to exit the Rakuninmura for the last time, where Yahiko smiles back at the rurouni, saying he'll be waiting for his return at the dojo.
Meanwhile, Megumi finishes telling Aoshi everything she knows. Noticing that something still doesn't make sense, Aoshi asks Megumi if there is any leftover evidence from the fight that hasn't been confiscated by the police. Megumi then remembers the Iwanbou model Sanosuke had claimed prize for from the Maekawa assault and left in the dojo's storage room.
On the way back to the Kamiya Dojo, Yahiko is forced to listen to Misao's complaining about the environment of Kenshin's new home, but he and the complainer return in time to overhear Megumi shouting to Aoshi in disbelief. The two quickly make their way over to the scene and are hit with the news - Aoshi wants to open Kaoru's grave when night falls.
