On May 14, 1878, Okubo Toshimichi, one of the “Three Great Men of the Restoration,” was assassinated. Behind this incident, which once again changed the era, was the secret maneuver of Shishio Makoto, who was plotting to overthrow the Meiji government. Kenshin bids farewell to Kamiya Kaoru and travels to Kyoto to stop Shishio, who was also the successor to “Battousai the Assassin.” Farewell to Kaoru and friends, new encounters, and even a battle with Shishio’s group. Kenshin is torn between his own fate and his oath not to kill. The second chapter of the Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, where many emotions come together, begins! ■StaffOriginal work: Watsuki Nobuhiro “Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story” (published by Shueisha Jump Comics)Director: Komada YukiSeries composition and scriptwriting: Kurata HideyukiSeries composition and scriptwriting cooperation: Kurosaki KaoruScriptwriting cooperation: Watsuki NobuhiroCharacter design: Nishii Terumi, Watanabe KazuoProp design: Kosuge KazuhisaAssistant director: Makino YoshitakaAction director: Kikuchi KatsunoriArt director: Saito YukihiroColor design: Shinohara Aiko3D CGI: Matsunaga Wataru, Nakamori YasuakiDirector of photography: Takatsu JunpeiEditing: Hasegawa MaiMusic: Takami YuSound director: Naya RyosukeSound effects: Koyama YasumasaAnimation production: LIDEN FILMS■CastHimura Kenshin: Saito SomaKamiya Kaoru: Takahashi RieMyojin Yahiko: Koichi MakotoSoraku Sanosuke: Yashiro TakuTakaka Megumi: Onishi SaoriShinomori Soji: Uchida YuumaSaito Hajime: Hino Satomakimachi Misao: Yamane KihikoSeijuro: Nakamura YuichiShishio Makoto: Furukawa ShinSeta Sojiro: Yamashita DaikiKomagata Yumi: Tomatsu HarukaYukuyama Anji: Hatano WataruSawagejoji: Okamoto Nobuhiko ■Theme songsOpening theme of the first cool of the second season “Iranai Mono” Kitani Tatsuya x NatoriEnding theme of the second cool of the second season “Suikou Senten” NOMELON NOLEMON ■Official website https://rurouni-kenshin.com ■Official X @ruroken_anime https://twitter.com/ruroken_anime ■Official Instagram @ruroken_official https://www.instagram.com/ruroken_official/ ■Official TikTok ＠ruroken_official https://www.tiktok.com/@ruroken_official ©Watsuki Nobuhiro/Shueisha, “Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story” “Kyoto Uprising” Production Committee
