Himura Kenshin was once feared as the "Battousai the Manslayer," but with the dawn of a new era, he has a reverse-blade sword (Sakabatou) that cannot be cut and leads a peaceful life.
After fighting to the death in an unprecedented battle to stop his worst enemy, Makoto Shizuo, from plotting to overthrow Japan, Kenshin and his friends live peacefully at the Kamiya Dojo.
However, someone suddenly launches an attack on central Tokyo, endangering the lives of Kenshin and his friends.
Who is really responsible? This leads to the mystery of the crossed wounds that will never disappear, which is greatly related to Kenshin's past, which has never been revealed.
The climax of "Rurouni Kenshin" is the greatest climax in the history of "Rurouni Kenshin," which is depicted through two eras: the turbulent final days of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the new era after the Meiji Restoration. Everything about "Rurouni Kenshin" is here.
