History[]
Hiruma Gohei explained the Onizaki Brothers that he wanted Kenshin killed as revenge for all the previous times he (alongside the Kenshingumi) defeated him. The Brothers did not seem to care about the motives, and just wanted to recieve the payment for an assassination job.
As part of the plan, they made Gohei approach Myōjin Yahiko and get him to take Kenshin's Sakabatō to render him defenseless. When Yahiko went to the Onizaki Brother's hideout, they knocked him out and kidnap him. Then they sent a rescue message to Kamiya Kaoru, asking for Kenshin to come to a given place to a fight.
Kenshin (alongside Kaoru) arrived to the designated place, and they were attacked by both Onizaki Brothers. Meanwhile Yahiko managed to set himself free of his captivity, retrieved Kenshin's Sakabatō and ran to delieved it back to Kenshin. When Kenshin got his weapon back, he easily set free of Gengo's threads and defeated him with a single hit of the Sakabatō.
At the end of the incident, it is unknown what was the fate of the Onizaki Brothers.
