Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance
Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance streams on Crunchyroll, the only legal home for the remake. This is the Kyoto arc, widely considered the heart of the entire series, where Kenshin's quiet new life is shattered by a phantom of the age of revolution and the wandering swordsman is pulled back toward the bloodshed he swore to leave behind.
About
Himura Kenshin was once the era's most feared assassin. Now he carries a reverse-edged blade and a vow never to kill again, living peacefully among the friends he has found. That peace ends when word arrives of a scarred, ruthless figure risen from the ashes of the revolution, a man amassing his own power in Kyoto with designs on the new government. To protect everything he has built, Kenshin sets out for the old capital, knowing it may cost him the gentle life he fought so hard to keep. It's the arc where the series' themes of atonement and violence come to a head, backed by some of its sharpest swordplay.
