Techniques of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu
Kenshin and Hiko Sejiuuruo
List of Styles in Rurouni Kenshin Series:
Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu     
Kamiya Kassin Ryu
Jigen Ryu  
Nikaiado Heiho Shin no Ippou
Shiden no Tachi
Kenpo
Shinwan No Jutsu
Jissen Kenbu
Sumo
Kougen Ittou Ryu
Ryu Sou Sen
Kenshin blocks then with godlike speed slashes repeatedly. Randomly attacking the vital points at high speed, it doesn't give the enemy a chance to recover from the attack. Very ideal for enemies with great stamina.
Ryu Tsui Sen
Another attack with godlike speed.  Kenshin jumps high above the attacker; even the best swordsmsn have their vulnerable points from the air. He quickly jumps into the air above them and strikes down on the shoulder or neck, sending a shock threw the entire body. If he were to hit on the head, the attacker could die or, with a normal sword cut inhalf
slowly cleaning up this mess down here
Sou Ryu Sen
This is one of Kenshin's unique moves where he maximizes the reversed blade of his Sakaba sword. The sword is slower than others and an enemy might dodge it, so the sheath follows up the first attack hitting across the chest.
Do Ryu Sen
This works two ways, above the ground or in the ground. Kenshin strikes above the groun with godlike strength, causing dirt and stone to fly like a dragon at the attacker.
Very handy for attackers out of range, or to cancle out similar moves. At times, he does put the sword into the ground even though it slows the movement.
Ryu Sho Sen
This attack might actually cause harm to Kenshin since he uses a reversed blade. This technique uses and upper rising block toward the enemy's throat, possibly crushing their windpipe, or as in this case, dislocating their jaw. The enemy's falling weight combines with Kenshin's upper thrust so it delivers a more lethal blow. Pressing the blade up with the left hand would most likely cut Kenshin's hand.
Ryu Kan Sen-Isunuji
Another attack were godlike speed is crucial. Using his speed to get past his enemy's sword he then strikes that enemy's body in the midsection. The move looks like a dragon ascending to heaven. So another words he charges the enemy, dodging their attack and turns over in the air to slice as he turns. Rather amazing and cool looking.
