Character Description: Yuukyuzan Anji
Anji is a tall and muscular monk. Unlike the other Juppongatana ("ten swords"), he does not kill people without a good reason. He fights for a better world, as he believes that the corrupt Meiji government is destroying the country. He allied with Shishio to oppose them under the condition that he has the right not to kill his victim even if he is ordered to do so.
Anji used to be a monk, but he betrayed his religion due to the sudden death of all the orphans he had been taking care of. The blow of their deaths made him go against the Meji government. Hence, he spent ten years mastering the technique of the "Double Limit" [Futae no Kiwami] ("Mastery of the Two Layers" in the manga).
