Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan 3rd Season

After the plan to burn Kyoto is stopped, Kenshin, Hajime Saito, and Sanosuke receive an open challenge from Makoto Shishio to settle their conflict on Mount Hiei. Shishio no longer has any reason to hide, and the Ten Swords gather as his faction prepares for what he intends to be a complete victory over every enemy standing in his way.

Kenshin enters the confrontation carrying his reverse-blade sword and his vow never to kill, but these opponents know his past and his strength and are prepared to exploit every weakness. As his companions fight battles of their own, defeating Shishio becomes the ultimate test of the question that has followed Kenshin since abandoning Battousai: can he protect the Meiji era from a man who believes only the strong deserve to survive without becoming a killer again?
