After the first Geki-Rin Rebellion, the Kensei created the that prevents those of the Rin Jūken school to enter the sacred grounds of Jūgenkyō. However, the barrier can be torn down by the SoZyuTo which fell into Rio's hands. Unable to stop him, the Kensei faced the Kenma once more, during which the Kenma use their Dōkokugan Ringi to seal all seven Kensei into a boulder with Maku taking their power as his own. Later, when Maku and the other Kenma are destroyed, their Ringi faded and the Kensei returned to normal. Each of the Kensei, save Xia Fu, were named after a prominent figure in martial arts movies, with their group name a pun on "sensei" (master).
