Kodachi Nitō Ryū (小太刀二刀流, "Double Kodachi style"): Is the name of the fighting technique used by Shinomori Aoshi. During his first appearance in the Rurouni Kenshin series, Aoshi used only one kodachi, which he mainly used for defense while pummeling his opponents with his hand-fighting prowess (he was extremely skilled in Kenpo). However, during Kenshin's fight against Aoshi, the secret and weaknesses behind Aoshi's technique are unveiled. At close range, an opponent with a longer sword has a blind spot due to them having a longer reach than the shorter, light sword Kodachi. Aoshi would then trap the sword with his Kodachi using the blind spot, and beat his opponent with punches and kicks. However, after much struggle, Kenshin figured out that by holding his sword by the dull edge, the di

  • Kodachi Nitō Ryū (小太刀二刀流, "Double Kodachi style"): Is the name of the fighting technique used by Shinomori Aoshi. During his first appearance in the Rurouni Kenshin series, Aoshi used only one kodachi, which he mainly used for defense while pummeling his opponents with his hand-fighting prowess (he was extremely skilled in Kenpo). However, during Kenshin's fight against Aoshi, the secret and weaknesses behind Aoshi's technique are unveiled. At close range, an opponent with a longer sword has a blind spot due to them having a longer reach than the shorter, light sword Kodachi. Aoshi would then trap the sword with his Kodachi using the blind spot, and beat his opponent with punches and kicks. However, after much struggle, Kenshin figured out that by holding his sword by the dull edge, the difference in reach would vanish, so the blind spot was naturally eliminated. Aoshi then acknowledged Kenshin's skill and moved in for his devastating Kaiten Kenbu, which he would appear to kill Kenshin with at first glance. The latter however survived by using his scabbard as a buffer to halve the strength of the three deadly slashes, and when he attempted the attack again, Kenshin mustered the last of his power to catch Aoshi's sword the only instant he was vulnerable, defeating him by striking his throat with the hilt of his own Kodachi, rendering him unconscious for a short moment. It is only at the beginning of the Kyoto saga when File:Aoshi Shinomori Dual Wazkhi.gifAoshi begins to utilize his twin kodachi fighting style. By doing this, he strengthened his offense considerably, and his defense now has no such exploitable flaws due to there being an extra sword to fend counterattacks with. Due to his increased speed and strength from the training he did beforehand, this now made him one of Kenshin's strongest foes yet. When Gein faces Aoshi he is constantly surprised by the latter's techniques and notes that his skills are much higher than they were when he fought against Shishio Makoto during the Kyoto arc. This is most likely due to Aoshi having cleared his mind and soul through meditation and having found a true purpose to work for, i.e. eradicating the evil practitioners of the dark arts (Gehou), which is exactly what he does when he kills Gein.
