While in a cave in Sado, Uesugi Kenshin finds the Emperor Sword. As a result of this, Amaterasu begins the Emperor Race, which decides who will become the Emperor of Japan. Several of the competitors in the Emperor Race include Xavier (who has the Emperor Headband), Keikoku (who has the Emperor Ring), Nozumi, Baba Shyouen, One Eyed Masamune, and Yuzuhara Yuzumi among others. Most of the competition involved one on one battles between Kenshin and the other potential Emperors. After getting 100 points, Kenshin wins and becomes the Emperor of JAPAN. With the Emperor's Aura, she was able to vassalize opposing houses. Eventually, she used the ability to control Nobunaga, causing Xavier to flee from Nobunaga's body. Xavier escapes to the Orochi dungeon, with the hopes of controlling Orochi to destroy the country. In the end, Rance kills Xavier.
