In place of romance, the film focuses on love for the other characters. But since I already know that I’m not getting any since Kenshin saying goodbye to Kaoru was shown in the film’s trailer, I was not disappointed. Like any Rurouni Kenshin fan, I also wanted the firefly scene. I think this is the reason why Rurouni Kenshin is also a romantic story. And for me, she is the embodiment of Kenshin’s ideal of peace. While Kenshin will always be the man who is the center of all the fighting and struggles, Kaoru is the center of peace. Rurouni Kenshin, apart from being a story of repentance and redemption, is about one man’s quest for peace amidst being the center of struggles against it. No Firefly Scene but More Love from the Characters As this is only one of the very first scenes in the film, we are also told that this is only the beginning. When Kaoru said that as Battosai, Kenshin is now a thing of the past, we know as viewers that Kenshin’s internal battles between his past and his present self is far from over. While serving the purpose of his comedic role on the stage is also misjudged by being portrayed a fool who doesn’t know what he’s doing. With this scene, we are presented with the sharp contrast of the promise of peace in the Meiji Period versus the turbulent years of the Bakumatsu when Kenshin served as a hitokiri to topple the Shogunate government and restore power to the emperor.īut like Himura Battosai whose actions as hitokiri served a purpose and can easily be judged as wrong and shameful, we are presented with a Bakkyusai.
Rurouni kenshin kyoto inferno part 2 full movie series#
The cleverness of this scene is why I love director Keishi Otomo ever since I watched his other great work, a long drama series called Ryomaden. Kenshin Himura, former hitokiri, former rurouni, and now a peace-loving citizen, enjoys a stage play starring his legendary past self – Battosai in a mockery aptly termed ‘Bakkyusai’. Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto InfernoĪfter this chaos and a backgrounder on why Shishio became the way he is, we are presented with Kenshingumi (Kenshin’s group) having fun at the village festival. It also conveyed to us the central conflict of the film, by allowing Saito to become privy of Shishio’s plans of revenge against the new government. This is a very good opening scene that let’s us meet Shishio’s character for the first time showing us how menacing he has become.
He was welcomed fierily by Shishiogumi (Shioshi’s group). Hajime Saito, formerly, the celebrated leader of the Shogun’s Shinsengumi goes to Shishio’s hideout. Kyoto Inferno started strongly with a visual of Shishio’s idea of inferno.
