Character history[]
Isshin leads a band of mercenaries that attack the Forgotten Village, either killing or kidnaping all the inhabitants. Part way though, he notices Renya's group and approaches them. When questions why he's attacking the village, Isshin says that the reason he is attacking them is because it is Koga’s hidden village and they once let Akechi pass though, but his phrasing makes it clear that that is simply an excuse. Anji tries to attack him, but is quickly defeated. Isshin then asks if Renya will bring the light of truth to the village and reveals that he knows that the village is made up of fallen families and people thought dead. Isshin explains that there is a risk of a person with a well known name growing powerful trying to regain what they've lost and some might even take advantage of that to use the names of others.
Isshin easily defeating the Village Instructor.
After Renya defeats several mercenaries, the instructor then tries to take the opportunity to attack Isshin, but he is defeated in a single blow. Despite this, the instructor, still heavily injured, tries to defend his students. Impressed by the instructor’s resolve, Isshin suddenly cuts himself on his arm. He says that he will keep the wound to remember him and removes his armor, revealing numerous scars. The instructor tried to attack again, but Isshin catches him and begins to choke him with one hand. The students then attack, but Isshin swings the instructor, knocking them all away. The instructor then grabs onto Isshin and pulls out a piece of Sakuradite. He encourages his students to live freely, away from the village, before breaking the sakuradite apart, causing a large explosion. However, despite the instructor’s efforts, Isshin survives with only mind injuries.
Isshin severing Renya's false arm.
As Renya tries to attack C.C. Isshin approaches them. He asks where C.C. went, but she explains that she’s simply a mediator and doesn't want to work with sickos that hunt people. Isshin understands, but states that they can't complete their plan without her. He then catches a knife thrown at him by Renya and questions if Renya wants to hasten his execution before kicking Renya to the ground. Renya questions if he's also immortal, but Isshin doesn't know what he means. This gives Renya some confidence, but Isshin tells Renya that he will decide when he dies and that he isn't worth carving on his body. The two then clash, ending with Renya's arm being severed. However Renya intentionally sacrificed his false arm to get an attack on Isshin, but Isshin still blocked it. Renya then manifests a metallic arm and attacks Isshin with it. He manages to grab Isshin by the throat and force him to the ground. He wants Isshin to call off the operation and never come near the village again, but his arm suddenly begins oozing black liquid, forcing him to release Isshin. Renya then asks C.C. if this is the contract, but she instead calls it the Seeds of Sealing, the first step towards the curse. The arm then moves towards Isshin, catching him by the throat and lifting him up before draining the life out of him.
