    Synopsis:

    Kenshin Himura, a swordsman seeking redemption through non-violence at the Kamiya dojo, faces an unavoidable confrontation with his past. The tranquility he's cultivated is shattered when he’s drawn into a conflict orchestrated by Makoto Shishio, a charismatic and ruthless revolutionary aiming to dismantle the Meiji government. Shishio's decade-long campaign has built a powerful military force, and now his path leads towards consolidating power in Kyoto.

    Kenshin's journey takes him through regions scarred by Shishio’s influence, where he encounters both opposition and unexpected alliances. He finds himself partnering with Hajime Saitou, navigating complex loyalties and shared histories as they strive to prevent a descent into widespread conflict. The narrative explores themes of duty, legacy, and the difficult choices required when upholding a personal code in the face of national upheaval, portraying a world on the brink of significant change.
