LatestWith Kenshin's help, the Wind family derails their rival's plan to redirect the flow of the Ki and ends their effort to dominate Japan.
The Meiji Era was one of great renewal for Japan, where swords and killing were outlawed. However, many survivors from the time of Revolution still live, lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to use their killing blades again. Only Kenshin Himura, formerly one of the most brutal of killers, hopes to keep his swordsman's honor and still live in the new era.
Acting
Mayo Suzukaze's vocal range: from goofball to gut-wrenching in one breath.
Direction
Studio Gallop's fight choreography still shames modern action anime.
Writing
Watsuki's villains have motivations beyond 'evil for evil's sake'—shocking, I know.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series meticulously recreates early Meiji Tokyo, down to the gas lamps and Western-style buildings replacing samurai estates.
The real Hitokiri Battosai was based on Kawakami Gensai, an actual Meiji-era assassin—Watsuki just made him hot and sad.
