Shishio Makoto
Kenshin and Saito Hajime both spend a considerable amount of time looking for Shishio, meeting him once in Shingetsu Village.
However, Shishio left soon after they found him.
After the ordeal in Shingetsu village, Kenshin ventured onward to Kyoto where they would have their duel.
Upon arriving in Kyoto, Kenshin searched for the swordsmith Arai Shakku to forge a superior sakabato.
Shakku died during the ten years that Kenshin had last seen him, and found his son Arai Seiku as head blacksmith instead.
Kenshin instead sought after his former mentor Hiko Seijuro XIII, but discovered Seiku's predicament which involved one of the members of the Juppongatana (Ten Swords): Sawagejo Cho.
Meanwhile, Seta Sojiro manages to convince Aoshi Shinomori to form an alliance with Shishio so the former could find Kenshin, while the latter could receive Aoshi's help to stop the Oniwabanshu and dig out Kenshin's location.
Soon after, Shishio succeeds in reuniting the Juppongatana (save for Cho) and begins to proceed with his master plan.
After defeating and arresting Cho, he revealed that Shishio had planned to have the Ten Swords burn down Kyoto.
However, Kenshin and Saito find that the plan to burn down Kyoto was just a diversion, and the Shishio's real plan was to use a steel plated battleship, Rengoku ("Purgatory") that Hoji had purchased for him to attack Tokyo.
Kenshin, Saito, and Sagara Sanosuke pursue and intercept Shishio in a harbor not far from his target; And using a set of explosives Sanosuke obtained from his long-time friend, Tsukioka Tsunan, destroys the Rengoku.
However Shishio, Sojiro, Hoji and Yumi, escape.
Although his plan was foiled, Shishio was still not beaten, and instead arranged a duel to the death at Mount Hiei.
Knowing that, Kenshin, Saito, and Sanosuke travel there the next morning.
While they were doing so, however, Shishio sent most of the Juppongantana out to kill Kenshin's friends at the Aoi-Ya, keeping only his strongest subordinates with him, and Shinomori Aoshi who had allied himself to Shishio in order to get to Kenshin.
The members of the Ten Swords sent to the Aoi-Ya, however, were all defeated.
After defeating Aoshi and Sojiro, Kenshin faced Shishio himself. Kenshin had been worn out and injured from his consecutive fights with Aoshi and Sojiro, and Shishio knocked him out fairly easily.
Saito entered and ambushed Shishio, attempting kill with a blow to the head.
However, Shishio's hachigane (a headband containing a metal plate to cover the temple) stopped the attack, after which he easily blocked every move Saito used against him and defeated him.
Sanosuke also entered to fight Shishio, but could not even injure Shishio, despite landing a direct Futae no Kiwami to the face.
Finally, Aoshi entered, and managed to stall Shishio long enough for Kenshin to regain consciousness.
The two continued their fight, during which Shishio's body started to overheat to dangerous levels, but kept fighting despite that.
At one point, Yumi intervened, standing in the way of a blow from Kenshin.
Taking advantage of his moment of vulnerability, Shishio ran his sword through Yumi in an attempt to hit Kenshin.
Kenshin ridiculed Shishio for betraying his love, but Shishio remarked that he understood that he did what Yumi wanted of him, which was in fact the case.
Eventually, Shishio's body heat rose to the point where his blood evaporated and the fat and oils in his body ignited.
The end result was Shishio combusting, and continued to burn until all that became of him was ash.
He is later seen in Hell with Yumi and Hoji (who committed suicide in jail), commenting that they try and take it over.
