		⚫	In Chapter 1, "The Battle of 12 Swords", despite Japan's isolationist stance, [[Whitebeard]] ravaged the country from within. Culminating in an attack on Otsu, the overconfident Whitebeard marched into the town with only a handful of men. He was met by Kensei, who singlehandedly defeated the entire company. The battle was to become known as The [[Battle of 12 Swords]]. Determined to defeat the rest of Whitebeard's army, Kensei set out on a journey to find Whitebeard's [[Hidden Fortress]]. These adventures became known as The Trials of Takezo Kensei.

		⚫	In Chapter 4, Part 1, "Kensei and the Dragon", before his trials, [[Kensei]] fell in love with a beautiful [[princess]] who made him swear to defend Japan from [[Whitebeard]]. To prepare, Kensei sought the [[Dragon of Kiso Mountain]], who taught exceptional sword skills to those who truly needed to be taught. The Dragon taught Kensei and made him a "sword saint", but demanded that Kensei give what he loved most. After Kensei's trials, he and the princess decided to marry, but the celebrations were short-lived--the enormous Dragon interrupted their marriage ceremony and demanded the princess. To protect his love, Kensei [[suicide\|plunged]] his sword into his [[heart]], then offered his heart to the Dragon.

		⚫	In Chapter 4, Part 2, "Kensei and the Dragon", though [[Kensei]] died in the arms of [[princess\|his love]], exactly what happened next to him remains a mystery. Legend says that the [[Dragon]], moved by Kensei's love and honor, replaced Kensei's [[heart]] and brought him back to life. Likewise, the identity of the princess is uncertain. One unpopular theory is that she is [[Yaeko]], daughter of the [[swordsmith\|sword maker]], resident of Otsu, and the creator of the Kensei scrolls.

	Hiro wanders through the refugees of Otsu and realizes that the future may not be the same as he knew it, wondering, "no cars, no Ando, no me. [[Back to the Future\|Great Scott]]." Kensei tells him not to worry, that there is always sake. Hiro tells Kensei that he's supposed to be a hero, but Kensei retorts that being a hero never "filled anyone's sack with salt and saffron." Hiro tells him that for his [[heroism]], Kensei was rewarded with more riches than the emperor, and married the most beautiful girl in Japan, the swordsmith's daughter. A young woman smacks Kensei in the face, telling him that they gave him everything to protect Otsu, and the bandits that burned the town took her father hostage. Kensei tells [[Yaeko]] that he tried to fight, but Hiro got in the way. Yaeko takes the sword (as both Kensei and Hiro exclaim "my sword!"), explaining that her father gave it to him as payment for their protection, and leaves. Hiro chases after her, but she leaves, saying someone has to save her father. Hiro tells Kensei that he must save the [[swordsmith]] and make Yaeko fall in love with him, but is [[one punch knockout\|punched]] by Kensei, who tries to find a drink.
