Shishio, another assassin, struggled to adapt to the new era. A formidable rival to Kenshin, he turned Kyoto into a nightmare, orchestrating killings and plotting against the government. Naturally, they had to call Kenshin for help once again.

This second movie felt similar to the first for me, but with a cliffhanger ending. As expected, the fight scenes were spectacular, and the villain even more menacing than before.

Overall, I'd rate it 8.5/10
