History Awesome / SamuraiDeeperKyo

*** During the fight against the Taishiro, he impales himself on Hishigi's blade to save Yuan. After Fubuki mocks him for being only a "blacksmith and not a fighter", the two of them realize he's planted needles in the guards of their sabers. Julian then calmly tells them that, since he's the one who forged those blades, ''he knows exactly how to break them''. Cue the blades completely dislocating themselves. They don't stay that way, because Fubuki's [[TheNecromancer necromancy]] can apparently even resurrect ''objects'', but it's an awesome scene nonetheless.

** Can we talk about Hishigi being heavily implied to be the BadassGay and not being stereotyped in the least? He is possibly the most badass goddamn thing in a manga full of badass goddamn things, and who the fuck cares if he likes men.

** Emphasizing the above: Hishigi puts [[RasputinianDeath Rasputin]] to shame. Let's go down the list of "Things That Should Have Killed Him" here. We've got the [[IncurableCoughOfDeath Death Disease]] destroying his body and the Devil Eyes eating him alive before we even get into the fight that actually puts him down. In the final battle in question, Hishigi shields Fubuki from Kyo's powered-up Suzaku. This, along with his previous use of the Devil Eyes' power, drains them entirely. The eyes are destroyed and fall out, leaving him bleeding everywhere and barely mobile, not to mention the blood he's now coughing up because the eyes were the only thing keeping the Death Disease at bay. He then somehow comes up with the strength to get up, [[TransferableMemory leave his memories to Akari]] so she can continue his research, and form a barrier to protect Fubuki and the others before attempting to [[TakingYouWithMe take Kyo with him]] in a massive explosion. This fails but ''still does not kill him'', and he manages to [[TheDyingWalk drag his disintegrating body to Fubuki's side]], rip out ''[[BeatStillMyHeart his own fucking heart]]'', and implant it into Fubuki's chest. Then, and ''only'' then, does he [[DiedInYourArmsTonight collapse into Fubuki's arms]], apologize for leaving him alone, and die.

* Bontenmaru, one of the Shiseiten, is a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold big, tall, arrogant, brash guy]] with a BadassLongcoat who fights with a bokken. First, the fact that he can hold his own against any katana with a wooden blade is telling something. Then, we learn that every member of the Shiseiten has his own special technique, such as ice mastery, or vampiric powers. Bontenmaru's? ''Dropping his sword and his coat, going berserk and fighting with his bare hands.'' Now ''that'' is awesome.

** "4 vs. hundreds" ? Try 4 vs. ''one thousand undead, regenerating soldiers''.

* Hishigi is a walking CMOA. He´s a BadassBookworm who keeps himself alive by implanting Medusa Eyes into the left side of his body, horribly disfiguring him but keeping him alive if he stays out of combat (but still in excruciating and constant pain). He is the strongest of the Taishiro according to Yuan (who is a cocky bastard and does not say that lightly), wields a BFS that makes Kyo´s giant katana look like a little bitch, can cut things at the speed of light so hard that it creates giant shockwaves, ''one'' of which is able to put Kyo down for the count (Kyo wasn´t prepared for it, but ''still'') AND he also looks the part of the massive badass. Oh, and did we mention that about twenty years ago, he absolutely crushed ''Shihodo'', who was one of the original Taishiro and who even scares ''Kyo''.

* The first time we see the Shiseiten fight together,against an undead army.Not only are they vastly outnumbered (as in,4 vs. ''hundreds'') but they make this "war" a game in which they compete to see who will get the most kills..By the end of this,the court they were fighting in is completely razed and they are ''intact''

** Akira's fight with Tokito definitely stands out.

* Julian, the father of Yuan, while not being as strong as the other chracters, manages to get three of those.
** He appears for the first time on top of a litteral pile of corpses, playing chamitsen.

* Hishigi is a walking CMOA. He´s a BadassBookworm who keeps himself alive by implanting Medusa Eyes into the left side of his body, horribly disfiguring him but keeping him perfectly healthy if he stays out of combat, is according to Yuan the strongest of the Taishiro, wields a BFS that makes Kyo´s giant katana look like a little bitch, can cut things at the speed of light so hard that it creates giant shockwaves, 1 of which is able to put Kyo to the count, though he wasn´t prepared for it AND he also looks the par of being a massive badass.
** This needs to be emphasized;He ONE-SHOTTED the main character,rendering him unconscious for a whole volume.Granted,he attacked by surprise but still,the lack of effort it took to take even Kyo down is awesome in itself!
** His crowning moment however is when he gets beaten the shit out of by Kyo´s last sealed power (which he gradually recovers the more he is in life-threatening situations), loses all his Medusa Eyes and is apparently too wounded to continue. He then gets up, implants his memories into Akari so he might find a cure to the Death Disease, locks the band of heroes in a force field, does a ImTakingYouWithMe with Kyo FOLLOWED by him crawling to Fubuki, while dissolving, implants his heart in him so he can keep living before finally [[DeaderThanDead disintegrating]]. DAMN.
** One that stands out if Yuan Vs Hishigi. They are two of the strongest beings in SDK Universe and it's shown quite during their epic clash. Too bad the fight is interrupted.
** Hotaru Vs ''anyone''. Then, you get that part where he out-speeds Yuan in the same fashion Yuan did to him earlier in a fight
