While I believe that Hijikata has the more powerful atomic cutting sword that will go through Kenshin and his sakabotou, he'll have a hard time trying to tag the battuosai. Kenshin is just too fast, and in no time he'll be able to slash through Hijikata before he can react.

First off I said he has a regular nodachi, not the atomic cutting blade.
Second, Mamoru has been training to use the sword since he could pick one up. His life as a child consisted of sleeping, eating, school and training. That's it. And he did training more then anything else. He would keep wacking a tree even after his hands were completely bloody from removed skin. He cut down many trees in his training, with just a bodachi. Experience goes to Momaru.

It says "Two of the greatest". They are by far two of the greatest swordsmen. I did not say they were the best.
Fair enough but can you at least put "(Mamoru Hijikata vs. Himura Kenshin)" at the end of the title ^_^

Speed Equalized gives Hijikata the advantage, but ordinary nodachi kind of balances things out. But still, I think the deciding factor is going to be the blade. A Nodachi is significantly longer and heavier than a katana (which is Kenshin's standard weapon) and present day steel is undoubtedly stronger than what Kenshin would have had access to. On top of that, Hijikata is MUCH taller as well (158 cm vs 183 cm) so the range difference is just impossible to overcome. The way I see it is, eventually Kenshin will have to parry one of Hijikata's big blows, and his sword will just split in two.
The katana is a great weapon for assassinations, but not so good for one-on-ones, especially if the oponent is just as skilled as you. The nodachi though, is big and heavy - good for both offense and defence, and Hijikata has the strength and stature to weild it effectively.
So, final vote goes to Mamoru Hijikata
