Rurouni Kenshin: Review Special

Himura Kenshin wanders into Tokyo carrying a reverse-blade sword and a vow never to kill again. His encounters with Kaoru, Sanosuke, Yahiko, and former enemies force him to defend the peace of the new Meiji era while confronting the assassin he once was.

From early duels against swordsmen and corrupt officials, the struggle grows toward Kyoto, where Makoto Shishio plans to overthrow the government. Kenshin's greatest battles test whether compassion can survive against opponents shaped by the same violent age.
