In the year Hyogo 1878 (Meiji Era 11), the Japanese law enforcement are
trying to catch the ‘new battousai’. Due to Kenshi (Sato Takeru) leaving his
samurai ways and lives his life in peace with his friends, the new battousai,
Shishio Makoto (Fujiwara Tatsuya) has been creating havoc around Japan. Because
of that the home minister, now currently one of the tops of the government,
asks for a meeting with Kenshin. When he arrives Kenshin is asked to kill
Shishio, as Shishios main goal is to get revenge and destroyed the new
government.
At first Kenshin refuses since he enjoys life as it is, but when he is
shown what Shishio is doing to the country, he partly feels responsible as
Shishio took over his past position. So, by leaving his new life, Kenshin sets
out to find Shishio, but finds out that he is much less powerful than Shishio,
as he isn’t even able to beat Shishios underling… Will the old Battousai show
his past colors?
The more I read my summary the less I like it. Oh well, I hope I don’t
ruin it for the ones that want to watch it.
Anyways, an awesome movie, like so amazing: from the acting to the
scenography. Like everything is so well-made! And it is amazingly well created!
I don’t know if you’ve read the manga, but they are very honest to the story of
the manga - I think I mentioned that before? Oh and Sato is sooo cool! And
Fujiwara I almost didn’t recognize! Omg, and Kamiki!.... Sorry! Fangirl mode!
This movie has all my favorite things, though I am not a fan of
fighting, I was kind of amazed by the fight scenes. SO much that I noticed
EVERYTHING, and that is rare for me. You can actually watch the first movie
without watching the second and the third, but you’ll miss out! I am telling
you!
