Megumi's life is at stake, and however sympathetic Kenshin may feel, he will fight on, to the last man if necessary...

When a possible weakness in Shishio's body reveals itself to Kenshin when he is nearly out of strength, Kenshin wonders if he should just give up and let history decide who was right and who was wrong.

Kenshin's battle with Raijuta to decide the fate of Meiji Era swordsmanship is coming to a head.

Haunted as he is by his past sins, committed when he was a government-sactioned killer, Kenshin is finding it hard to escape the shadow of his past and fight for the here and now.

As the Ten Swords move to attack Kaoru and the other Kyoto-based spies at Aoi-Ya, Kenshin, Sansuke, and Saitô square off against Shinomori Aoshi, former head of the Oniwabanshû, fighting for the freedom of Misao's Aoshi-sama.

As the feared assassin of the Bakumatsu, Himura Kenshin killed in the name of the new era. As the rurouni of Meiji, he wielded a sakabato to protect those who counldn't protect themselves, all along holding true to his vow to never take another life. Now Kenshin's fight with Enishi has entered its final stage, as has his quest for atonement. Will another life be required to complete the circle? The road of redemption has been a long one for the world-weary...
