During the Bakumatsu era's twilight years, a legendary assassin known as Hitokiri Battousai roamed the realm, striking fear into the hearts of all who crossed his path. With unparalleled skill and merciless swiftness, he reigned supreme throughout the land, until vanishing mysteriously during the climax of the Japanese Revolution. Though peaceful years have since settled upon Japan, the mere mention of Battousai's name still sends shivers down the spines of war veterans. Concealed from the prying eyes of the world, Battousai shed his blood-stained existence, adopting a new identity as Kenshin Himura. A nomadic swordsman with a spirited demeanor and unwavering strength, he pledged to refrain from spilling any more blood. Instead, Kenshin devoted himself to safeguarding the vulnerable, his repentant heart burning with determination. It was during his aimless wanderings that fate led him to stumble upon the cherished kendo dojo of Kaoru Kamiya, which teetered on the brink, threatened by an audacious impostor masquerading as none other than Battousai himself. Extending a helping hand to Kaoru, Kenshin's compassionate act earned him a temporary respite within the familiar walls. Thus, Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan unearths the remarkable saga of Kenshin as he embarks on a noble quest to rescue those imprisoned by despair. Yet, as the shadows of adversaries both past and present rise once more, will this reformed slayer succeed in upholding the lofty ideals he now holds close to his heart?
