Description:
In order to atone for his bloody past as Battousai the Manslayer, Himura Kenshin becomes a wanderer and takes up a reverse blade sword that allows him to use his superhuman fighting techniques without killing. However, a past like Kenshin’s is difficult to bury, and old habits die hard! Experience the entire first arc of the Kenshin legend, now available in a single collector’s "Bento Box."

Our saga begins over ten years after the bloody Meiji Revolution that marked the end of the rule of the Shogun and the Samurai in Japan.

In Tokyo, where swords have been banned, Kaoru bumps into the wandering Kenshin while looking for the man that is tarnishing the name of her fencing school. This proves to be the beginning of a long, exciting adventure for her... the beginning of a journey with a master swordsman that wields a reverse-bladed sword whose skills are only rivaled by the weight of his heart.

Now the adventure starts as we are thrust into an era long gone, not only of blades and duels, but where honor and reputation were still a person's most prized possessions.

Contains episodes 1-27.

Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English Subtitles.
