Yūsuke Iseya makes his first appearance in the film series as Aoshi Shinomori.
Principal cast list as presented on the Funimation Films website in Western name order: The film ends with a mysterious man finding Kenshin's unconscious body washed up on the beach and carries him away. Kenshin jumps into the sea, but is unable to locate her. There, he has an inconclusive battle with Shishio, which ends when Kaoru is thrown off board. Kenshin discovers Shishio's ship about to set sail to the capital after learning that Sōjirō has kidnapped Kaoru. However, Kenshin realizes that Shishio's main goal is to set fire not to Kyoto, but Tokyo. The government police, together with Kenshin, the Oniwabanshu ninja, and the newly-arrived Kaoru, Yahiko, and Sanosuke, battle Shishio's men, while to prevent Aoshi from interfering Kenshin, Okina challenges his former pupil into a duel, which ends in his defeat. By interrogating Chō, the government learns that Shishio plans to raze Kyoto to the ground that night. Seiku gives him a twin of the previous sakabato, which Kenshin uses to defeat Chō. His son, Seiku, initially refuses Kenshin's plea for another sakabato, but when Shishio's elite warrior, Sawagejō Chō, kidnaps his baby, Seiku asks Kenshin to defeat him. At the same time, Kenshin discovers to his dismay that the person who made his sakabato, Arai Shakku has died years before. Meanwhile, Kaoru decides to follow Kenshin to Kyoto, accompanied by Yahiko and Sanosuke. Okina warns Kenshin that a lieutenant of his, Shinomori Aoshi (the one who beat Sanosuke previously), has made it his life goal to kill the strongest man in Japan - Kenshin. As he leaves the scene, Kenshin urges the villagers, including the orphaned boy, not to take their revenge against Shishio's men.Īrriving at Kyoto, Kenshin is asked by Misao, who is impressed by his words, to take shelter at an inn run by Kashiwazaki Nenji, actually a semi-retired ninja called Okina once employed by the Tokugawa shogunate known as the Oniwabanshu who were previously employed by the Tokugawa shogunate Misao herself is also an aspiring ninja. Kenshin is taken to Shishio himself, the latter ordering Sōjiro to duel Kenshin, which ends with Sōjiro breaking Kenshin's sakabato. Kenshin beats Shishio's men, though his identity as Hitokiri Battōsai is revealed. While the two converse, they are alerted by a boy to the plight of his parents and brother, all of whom are killed by Shishio's men for trying to report their atrocities to their village to the authorities. While on the way, Kenshin meets with Makimachi Misao, who attempts to steal his sakabato. Just after Kenshin's departure, an individual arrives at Tokyo and searches for him, beating Sanosuke along the way. Though he declines the request at first, he relents when the official is murdered by Seta Sōjirō, Shishio's underling. He is called by a government official, Ōkubo Toshimichi, to track down Shishio, who is terrorizing Kyoto and its surroundings. However, Shishio's men ambush and massacre the police in the mine Sishio tells Saitō his plan to conquer Japan before leaving.Īfter the events of the first film, Himura Kenshin continues to live in the kenjutsu dojo of Kamiya Kaoru alongside Myōjin Yahiko, Sagara Sanosuke, and Takani Megumi. I will be buying this when it comes out on DVD.In Settsu Mine, Hyōgo Prefecture, Saitō Hajime leads the Japanese police in tracking Shishio Makoto, a notorious renegade who was betrayed by the government after he had helped them defeat the Tokugawa shogunate during the Battle of Toba–Fushimi. In short: I could not have hoped for a better on-screen adaption of this anime. I don't agree with some others that any characters were "very different"- they combined antagonist character roles, but that was about all. The themes are exactly the same, and very well executed.

Being a movie meant for a wide audience I believe this was the right way to go. Mind you it's still more lighthearted than the prequel anime series (with a few minor, fun comedic interludes), but its definitely a lot closer to the prequel tone than to the main series. They kept the flavor of the anime and added a good amount of realism with a more serious tone. As far as a live action anime-based movie, this is leaps and bounds above anything out there. The acting was very, very good throughout and the action scenes are very well choreographed with very minimal wire-cheese. This is a great movie, hands down, whether or not your a fan of the Kenshin manga/anime.
