Although he remains the greatest swordsman in the country, Kenshin has renounced his violent past. He fights with a sakabato , a reverse-blade sword that can disable but not kill an opponent. His relatively quiet life is disrupted by the power-mad Makoto Shishio, who survived a botched execution by government agents. An attempt to incinerate his body left him alive but hideously scarred. Shishio plans to overthrow the Meiji government and make himself ruler of Japan. Only Kenshin can defeat him, but will that effort force him to break his oath never to kill again? Must he once again become a murderer to prevent a civil war? Rurouni Kenshin: New Kyoto Arc tries to cover in 90 minutes the storyline that occupied 34 episodes of the 1996 broadcast series. Not surprisingly, the filmmakers can only skim the surface of the story. There's simply no time for the character interactions, elaborate duels, awkward romance, and broad comedy that made Rurouni Kenshin one of the best-loved anime series of all time. Even the climactic duel between Shishio and Kenshin goes by too quickly to make much of an impression. J. Shannon Weaver, who also provided Kenshin's voice in the OVA prequel Samurai X , gives a much flatter reading than Richard Hayward in the Rurouni Kenshin broadcast series. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood showed it was possible to remake a popular series and improve it, but New Kyoto Arc feels incomplete and unsatisfying. (Rated TV MA V: graphic violence, grotesque imagery, tobacco use, sexual situations) --Charles Solomon Although she's only sixteen and looks even younger, Misao Makimachi is already a skilled and competent member of the Oniwabansh? ninja clan. Which is a fortunate thing for Misao, as her onimitsu talents may be all that keeps her alive when a journey in search of the leader of the clan, Aoshi Shinomori, leads her instead into a face-to-face encounter with an even more dangerous man and a plot to overthrow the Meiji government! Quickly enmeshed in the affairs of the legendary assassin Hitokiri Batt?sai, now known as Kenshin Himura wielder of the reverse-blade sword, Misao finds herself pulled into the middle of a deadly intrigue against Makoto Shishio, who is orchestrating the conquest of all Japan, beginning with Kyoto! Get ready for blades to flash and blood to flow as Nobuhiro Watsuki's acclaimed Rurouni Kenshin returns at long last to the world of animation in an epic masterpiece: Rurouni Kenshin - New Kyoto Arc! Review: If you're a fan of Rurouni Kenshin, then this DVD is for you! - Haven't watched it yet because I'm waiting for the right moment to present itself... but I can already tell it's gonna be good, even if they changed the voice cast! I'm sure they were able to get good replacements for the originals and it did arrive before the actual date I was supposed to get it, which wasn't a disappointment to me! Thank you for selling this DVD at a fair, moderate price... can't wait to finally watch it! But seriously, this is a must for ALL Samurai 7/Rurouni Kenshin Fans! So trust me. Get it while it's still selling cheap! Enjoy! Review: New interpretation of Kenshin - This new interpretation of Kenshin is a great start for people who want to get into the Rurouni Kenshin series. The series is Shonen Action but I believe this Blu-ray is a little more. The fights are short, sweet, and to the point. BTW, there is two 45 min episodes on this Blu-ray. The point of view is more from Misao instead of Kenshin but there is a fair balance between the two. The other characters get decent screen time like Saito Haijime, Kaoru, and Sano. The voice of Saito Haijime (my favorite character) is different because the original voice seiyu, Hirotaka Suzuoki, passed away years ago. He is best known for the voice of Bright Noah from Mobile Suit Gundam, Z Gundam, ZZ Gundam, Char's Counterattack, and the Super Robot Wars series. Lastly, they use some of the original music from the TV series but redone. I love that nice little touch. Overall, I recommend this Blu-ray because it best encompasses the most popular arc of the Manga/TV series. Enjoy! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Charles Campbell, J.

Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great retelling of the arc *by H***N on September 8, 2013* I was really excited when I heard they were revamping the Kyoto Arc but was worried when it wasn't from Kenshin's view. I watched it subbed first before I was able to purchase the bluray and was impressed with the story and the artwork. I think they did a good job. If you are expecting the original english voice actors from the TV Show for the dubbed version of the movie you will be disappointed but the voice actors who did the voices did a great job! All in all I love this addition to the Rurouni Kenshin franchise! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7176501-rurouni-kenshin-new-kyoto-arc-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7176501-rurouni-kenshin-new-kyoto-arc-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
