Second time to watch this. ^_^

1. She chooses which one to burn.
2. Travels back in time.
3. Changes something.
4. Goes back to the present.
5. Then as for the episode epilogue, they show us how they ended up taking the photo.

The number 5 is very significant. It was not just an epilogue, it was a memory, an important memory that she burned and changed. By burning it, she can never have a copy of that photo ever again. By changing things in the past, that memory will forever be gone, it never happened anymore. That memory of the old timeline will _only_ be burned in her own and no one else's.

I love how they present the time travel story through old photographs.

Wasn't his childhood and him leaving his master shown in flashbacks in the regular flow? I don't recall the OVA this movie was based on ever focused on those.

The OVA that this was based on was a love story between Kenshin and Tomoe. ;) It wasn't based on the manga.

But this one is based on the OVA not the manga. Even the ending was similar (if not exact), the kind of ending the original author doesn't like with the OVA--sad.

As for how he became Battousai, this was it. When his "X" mark was completed this was the point when Kenshin became a single-minded assassin--must end this by killing everyone so I can stop killing. In fact, he was already Battousai even before he got his "X" mark. Battousai simply means a samurai who slays anyone and everyone. :)

Chronological order of the story:
1: The Beginning (2021) - when it all started, Yukishiro Tomoe meets Hitokiri Battousai
2: Rurouni Kenshin (2012) - 10 years after "The Beginning", Hitokiri Battousai reappears as Himura Kenshin and meets Kamiya Kaoru
3: Kyoto Inferno (2014)
4: The Legend Ends (2014) - when Himura Kenshin finally learns and masters the complete Hiten mitsurugi-ryu which signifies or symbolizes the end of "Hitokiri Battousai"
5: The Final (2021) - they come full circle, Yukishiro Enishi takes revenge on Himura Kenshin

Chronological order of the story:
1: The Beginning (2021)
2: Rurouni Kenshin (2012)
3: Kyoto Inferno (2014)
4: The Legend Ends (2014)
5: The Final (2021)

The Tomoe+Battousai story is always better than the Kenshin+Enishi story. :P

Ahh. Yeah, a lot of information in this listing are incorrect … submitted corrections on those as well.

Submitted a lot of corrections to this listing.

"OVA movie"? The anime where Tomoe and Kenshin's story was first told was an OVA. It was actually the best OVA in the Rurouni Kenshin anime franchise. (This story doesn't exist in the manga.)

"Rurouni Kenshin: The Final" is the closing of the live-action arc while "Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning" is the opening of the live-action arc.

So, chronologically:
1: The Beginning (2021)
2: Rurouni Kenshin (2012)
3: Kyoto Inferno (2014)
4: The Legend Ends (2014)
5: The Final (2021)

Basically, the live-action series tells about Kenshin Himura, from when he was a Hitokori Battousai, to his reappearance as Himura Kenshin ten years later, to finally meeting Enishi where they come full circle.
