The first film introduced us to the former assassin Kenshin Himura, who promised to defend those in need without killing anymore. Kenshin (Takeru Sato) has now become a wandering samurai. Protecting those in need as atonement for his past deeds. During this time Kenshin Himura met and helped Kaoru Kamiya (Emi Takei).
In the second film - RUROUNI KENSHIN : KYOTO INFERNO, Kenshin has adopted a peaceful life since the new age in Japanese history. But now he is faced with a new villain, Makoto Shishio. The Shadow Killer who succeeded him as Battosai/assasin for the new government. Betrayed by those who employed him, Shishio vows to overthrow the new regime.
The third film brings us to the final battle of Kenshin and Shishio. And what a fight it was ! This could probably be the best Manga series turned to film so far ! I have never seen a cartoon-based live-action film this good ! Director Keishi Otomo did an amazing job by bringing the cartoon series to life. With a rich storyline, that stayed close to its origins. Brilliantly choreographed action scenes, and well-trained actors that resembled their fictional characters. (Photos courtesy of Warner Bros.
