Rurouni Kenshin Part III: The Legend Ends

“Every battle has an end… but some legends live forever.”

An ironclad ship leaves harbor under Shishio, who means to bring the government down, and Kenshin Himura (Takeru Satoh) cannot yet stop him. To learn the one technique that might, he goes back to the old master who first trained him. Keishi Otomo, directing, stages the sword fights as long, fast set pieces and keeps the camera moving through each one.
