Fortunately the producers have not made another sequel despite the number of fans. The ending is very sweet and fortunately Kaoru Kamiya has survived. The duel between Kenshin and Shishio is too long but in the end, the good wins the evil. 'Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends' is one of the best trilogies of cinema industry ever. 'Rurôni Kenshin: Densetsu no saigo-hen', a.k.a.

Reviewed by claudio_carvalho 9 / 10 One of the Best Trilogies of Cinema IndustryĪfter sleeping three days and dreaming with his master Seijuro Hiko (Masaharu Fukuyama), Kenshin Himura (Takeru Satô) wake up and finds that he was saved by Hiko. Meanwhile in Tokyo, Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito attends a meeting with Makoto Shishio who forces him to declare Kenshin a wanted outlaw and have him publicly executed or else Shishio will destroy both Tokyo and the government. Seijuro accepts Kenshin's request after they spar with each other. Kenshin asks Seijuro to teach him the ultimate and pinnacle technique of the Hiten Mitsurugi school, the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki. Overall, as a casual fan of the anime, I immensely thankful for the filmmakers for creating a highly compelling and resounding third film (and franchise!) that respects the source material and what fans desire.Kenshin wakes up to find himself at his master(Hiko Seijuro)'s house after getting washed by the waves to land while he was unconscious at sea for 3 days. Of course, these spectacles are made possible by brilliance in directing and good old classic filmmaking. It was both nostalgic and exciting to witness sword techniques brought to life from the anime. They were visual treats worthy of multiple rewatches that garner the same jaw dropping result after each experience. Kenshin's battles with Aioshi, Sojiro and Shioshio highlight the best the franchise has to offer. The action scenes and choreography however, more than makes up for its shortcomings. The film also dragged on for the first half with too much melodrama. They served as character backdrops devoid of real screen time. The irrelevance of Shioshio's 10 swords was an obvious letdown. The third installment of the Rurouni Kenshin film adaptation series is a victory, but not without disappointments.
