In the first half of an epic two-part finale, Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno, Kenshin journeys to Kyoto where unrest is brewing. Awaiting him there is a man so formidable that he was once allowed to inherit the very mantle Kenshin renounced; that of sanctioned assassin. And as Kenshin discovers, this crazed menace possesses skills that may be more than a match for his own.
The action-movie follows on from 2012 film Rurouni Kenshin. The final chapter, Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends will be screened at Massey University next month.
