The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

I think, while having surely the option to use a hinman, most of the time En-Ou doesn't. Thinking back, in the second arc Gyosou ones talked about how he sparred with En-Ou and won one out of three times. I don't think this would've been possible, if En-Ou was fighting with a hinman.

I certainly agree that the sekai series are truly great. And while we're at it, I'd like to advise also Witch Hunter Robin, Scrapped Princess, Last Exile and Rurouni Kenshin + Reminisence OVA (there's more, but this should do for now). At least in terms of quality those are comparable, for the story ...
