rurouni kenshin kyoto inferno subtitles trilogy

Keishi Otomo, director and co-writer, along with Kiyomi Fuji, truly brings this ’90s manga to life with its fast paced fighting and sword-fight scenes – living up to how they were seen in the anime. When Kanyryu poisons the people of the town and Jin-e threatens the girl he cares for, Kenshin’s vows to never kill are put to the test. Meanwhile, Takeda Kanryu ( Teruyuki Kagawa) a wealthy and cruel businessman plans to control Japan by creating opium with the help of opium maker, Takani Megumi ( Yu Aoi).

While in the city, he befriends Kamiya Kaoru ( Emi Takei), owner of her late father’s kendo school, after having saved her from the new Battosai, Udo Jin-e. Now, in 1878, ten years after the battle of Toba-Fushimi that took place in the Boshin War, the Meiji government rules the land and the infamous Hitokiri Battosai, now going by the name of Himura Kenshin, is back in Tokyo. The legendary and feared Hitokiri Battosai’s assistance in ending the war leads to the abandoning of his katana which is then picked up by one of the war’s survivors, Udo Jin-e ( Koji Kikkawa). Opening the film with a scene from the brutal Boshin war, we watch as the ending outcome of the war is welcomed by the beginning of the Meiji Era.

“My oath to never kill, is represented by my sakabato.” These are words spoken from the main character Himura Kenshin ( Takeru Satoh) which sums up his character and his beliefs in this film.
