Rurouni Kenshin #22

In "The Tides of Battle," Kenshin faces a shocking turn in the fight when Gein unleashes Iwanbo—revealing the weapon to be a constructed mechanism all along. With Otowa in peril and the battle escalating, Kenshin prepares to confront Gein directly, leaving Yahiko to carry on in his absence. Written by Nobuhiro Watsuki, Kenichiro Yagi, and Pancha Diaz, with art by Watsuki and inks by Watsuki, Shinga Gin, and Shinya Suzuki, and lettered by Steve Dutro, this 2005 Viz issue features a cover by Nobuhiro Watsuki and Matt Hinrichs.
