Plot

Past

Sengoku had served as General Manager of the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel and was a master of the Reigen One-Sword Style for at least 7 years, training over 50 disciples over that time. One of his teachings stated that there were no such thing as geniuses and diligence and consistent effort would triumph over all.

Sword Bearer Assassination Arc

Sengoku greets Sumi and Iori

On the 13th of November, Sumi and Iori entered the hotel seeking shelter from the pursuing Kuguri and Toto. Sengoku greeted Sumi at the lobby, asking if the Masumi had a reservation. Sumi noticed the hotel was undergoing further upward construction, having spotted a construction site on the roof. Sumi then turned to inform Iori that due to the hotel's barrier system, detection sorcery would be unable to find her, so they would be safe for some time; though such locations were few enough that the Hishaku would search through each one in time. Sumi booked a room and then ascended upstairs with Iori to meet with Ro, Moku and Chihiro.

Ro later asked to borrow the hotel's barrier lantern as a power source for the memory seal that would be placed on Iori, and Sengoku agreed to hand over the key so long as it was only temporary.

Sometime later in the night, Sengoku observed Toto within the lobby, who raised her hand and summoned Hiruhiko within the building. A hotel staff member walked over and reminded them that sorcery was prohibited within the hotel, but was swiftly killed by Hiruhiko using only a hairpin. Hiruhiko tied back his hair and grabbed the staff member's sword, planning to use the hotel staff as a method of improving his swordsmanship. The nearby hotel staff including Sengoku then prepared to engage Hiruhiko.

Sengoku prepares to fight Hiruhiko

Other members of various yakuza groups moved to stand with katana at the ready, but Sengoku's shout sent them sitting back down. Sengoku then walked out from behind his stand with his katana at the ready, informing the two that the hotel had rules. He recognised the Hishaku emblem on their hands, having heard they were quite skilled. Hiruhiko questioned why Sengoku still approached alone and Sengoku replied that he represented 150 years of history through the Reigen One-Sword Style, which had been passed down with the hotel.

Sengoku then slashed forward, Hiruhiko barely blocking and noting the force behind the attack. Hiruhiko ducked out of the way of a second slash and only just managed to deflect a third, and Toto was worried, preparing to activate her sorcery. Hiruhiko realised how important swordsmanship was and noted even with an Enchanted Blade he could not stand against Chihiro where he was. Hiruhiko decided on a new course of action as Sengoku charged forth, dropping his katana with his right arm outstretched behind him and reaching his left arm back, catching his katana and slashing to the side.

Sengoku's death

The unorthodox tactic managed to sever Sengoku's left arm, Sengoku mutedly noting the injury and the various hotel staff shocked. Slightly curious, Sengoku questioned who Hiruhiko had studied under. Criticising the notion of being anyone's disciple, Hiruhiko replied that he was a student of freedom. Sengoku raised his blade once more, proclaiming he wouldn't receive another blow like that again. Using his new style of swordsmanship, Hiruhiko was then able to kill Sengoku before eliminating the remainder of the staff present. Hiruhiko then carried Sengoku's severed head up an elevator before finding Chihiro.
