Driven by a desire to obliterate Kenshin for not allowing him to die an honorable death is what caused Hyougo to join Enishi's cause. Back in the Bakumatsu and during the Battle of Toba Fushimi, Hyougo had his right arm cut off by Kenshin, who had already begun to live by the oath of not to kill. There, he wanted to be killed, but Kenshin told him that he wouldn't be better off dead. From them on, the large man, already of few words, began to scream the name 'Battousai' when engaged in combat.

To replace his missing arm, Hyougo was given an Armstrong Cannon by Enishi, which he used to blow up the Akabeko and Chief Uramura's residence. His upgraded weapon, a grenade launcher, also a gift from Enishi, was never put to use until after the attack on the Dojo Kamiya. It was confiscated by the police, but Hyougo had broken out of his prison cell to find and use it for his rampage in the streets of Tokyo in search of Kenshin.

It was Yahiko of all people to stand up to Hyougo during his rampage. Everyone was practically away and no where near to prevent the attacks, so Yahiko stood up to the one-armed man and kept him occupied until Kenshin arrived. Once again, Hyougo's right arm was cut off, and Yahiko argued the fact that Hyougo's anger held against Kenshin has done nothing for him except lead him down the wrong path. Moved by Yahiko's choice words, Hyougo accepted the fact that he was wrong. Before he turned himself into the police, he apologized to Kenshin for all his crimes.
