this is the first 'big villain' on rurrouni kenshin series. He was a hitokiri for the Shinsengumi during the Bakumatsu who became bloodthirsty post-war and a major antagonist of the Tokyo Arc. Jin-e has a passion for killing, enjoying it so much that he killed people on the side of the Ishin-Shishi as well as members of his own Shinsengumi. His thirst for blood led him to become a hired assassin after the war. Jin-e respects his enemies, shown when he wanted to fight Kenshin at his strongest (unlike Tatsumi who wanted to weaken Kenshin, by domesticating him, before killing him). Jin-e is also fond of instilling fear upon others, as seen when he delights in seeing the horror on the faces of his victims, before slaying them. Jin-e is an extremely skilled assassin and swordsman, possessing a mastery of the Nikaidō Heihō style (二階堂平法). His swordsmanship allows him to effectively wield his blade with either hand, able to seamlessly switch between them to confuse his opponent, even throwing Kenshin with his advanced powers of judgment off balance and find an opening. His physical strength, speed, agility, and endurance are extremely high to the point that they border on superhuman. However, Jin-e’s most dangerous ability is his unique Isukumi (paralyzing terror) technique Shin no Ippō. He projects his chi through his eyes at his opponent. This completely hypnotizes the target and Jin-e usually uses it to paralyze his target, leaving them unable to move. He can control how strong the effects are and can also use it on himself to make himself believe he is invincible and greatly increase his power. He can also use it to paralyze a person to the point of paralyzing their lungs, making them unable to breathe, causing them to suffocate and die. There are three methods to break the effects of the spell: It can be dispelled by himself, his opponent's chi must have a similar strength to his own in order for them to break it, or he must be killed.
