Sanosuke is really a great friend to Kenshin through thick and thin! Plus he's the life of the party! He gives his all in every battle. I also admire Misao's fights in this movie, she's really powerful as well. Kudos to Tsuchiya Tao for her awesome stunts. As always, Takeru is really the perfect actor to play as Kenshin. He's born to be Himura Kenshin.
I don't get how they make Sano is super weak in this movie. I understand he is not in a level of Enishi, but he didn't beat even one of the leader from Enishi's gang
these movies are a masterpiece. the choreographies are outstanding, the acting is superb, and I love the fact that besides the action they added some drama, love and comedy to the story..All the cast, director and producers deserve much credit for these films.
@@norreanelucypadmencie5113 Be glad it was not. If Hollywood or Netfix was involved in creation of this movie,, it wouldn't have been watchable. This movie is great because it was created by Japanese creators who are indeed fans of the original manga, who understand how strong and significant the story is, care about the storytelling part and want to make it justice, work hard to create unbelievable yet still realistic fighting scenes and are careful about the historical background.
@@norreanelucypadmencie5113 i like that when they have an emotional moment and she's talking she keeps looking around, aware that they're in a life or death situation
This actor nails Kenshin so well and the fight choreography is beyond words outstanding. Kenshin moves like the wind, exactly the way he should! Then everyone else starts showing up to help. It's different, but it works! Misao brings Oniwabanshu, Saito brings police, Sano shows up even though he looks half-dead, everything is perfect.
So glad I found the Kenshin series. This is the best action series ever. It's about honor, humility, atonement, forgiveness, friendship and love. It's the story of the most fearsome assassin ever who steps away from killing and lives his life to protect others. A quiet and humble young man who faces evil without fear. It's the story good people standing together against bad. it's the story of honor and courage of the Samurai. It displays the power of character we all want to find in ourselves. Watch it with subtitles (in the order they were released), you won't be disappointed.
After watching The Beginning last night, I cant help but think how a bloody mess this encounter would be if the enemies was facing the Battosai of the past.
Sure in the beginning of that movie Himura Battousai kill all samurai in the dojo with a katana hold by his mouth just like John Wick use a pencil. :)) The warriors in this video clip are so lucky that now Himura use a back-blade sword.
If you pay attention to Kenshin's mid-level boss opponents (Metal claw guy, shooting mini arrows guy and the explosives guy), you might (hopefully) see them again (in a different version of sorts in "The Beginning" when it finally comes out a few weeks from now. They greatly mirror Kenshin's opponents back in those days. All these based on my memory of the OVA Trust and Betrayal.
I JUST discovered this series last week, saw Origins, Loved it. Saw part 1,liked a lot and" Inferno" and its "Ending" were SWEET. Dude has a Bruce Lee type of Smoothness to his Swordfights, a Damn Joy to behold. These flicks are Not so "over the top" like most Anime type movies. This is pretty grounded and EXTREMELY well done. Can't wait to watch this one,this Weekend👍
This is why I love international movies more than Hollywood movies. Their story telling, dramatic tone & most of all CHOREOGRAPHY is on another level. 敬意 ✊🏼
I love misao XD all you see at first are her tiny little feet running on a roof then takes down several armed swordsmen all while carrying a side convo w kenshin. Shes the best 😂
1:08 I love this part that he fought them 1 by 1 in a narrow spot. As that's realistic and can be done in a real fight. They can't fight at the same time as the spot is narrow for them to fit and fight him at the same time.
Kenshin actually explains this very thing to Yahiko in the anime, about how if you're up against impossible numbers, running down a narrow alley or something where the enemy has to line up in front of you is the best way to deal with 'em.
@@swordsmanfabian18 I remember it a little. It's cool that they did it here, as usually in movies, opponents in background are just dancing and not attacking. I liked that they made that small detail realistic.
@@KodachiC even kenshin gets an upgrade too. In the live action films, they made him good at unarmed combat (he's weak without a sword in the manga and anime)
I just watched this on Netflix, this has the best fighting scenes I have ever seen in my life. I pray to God ,that the people that put these fighting scenes together have something to do with SHANG-CHI.
@@dakarbrown5474 yeah if you know who the reel rejects are on RU-vid, they interviewed Henry Golding and he said that, if you want to check out the interview it’s on RU-vid
The amount of people in the comments who complained about the lack of blood astounds me. Please know the background before complaining. He uses a reverse blade sword because he swore to never kill again. Meaning his sword is not sharp. If you want to see blood, you have to watch Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning. That's when he was still an assassin. You'll see the blood there.
Still the greatest live action movie series to come from manga/anime. Granted it helps that not much special effects are needed due to the action being martial arts/sword fighting with fantastical human fears added in, but the choreography, the camera work, and the physical acting from everyone involved, so much fun to watch and must’ve been a blast to work on.
Just watched this last weekend......MAN, what a good movie. Dude is so smooth with his technique. Like Bruce Lee with a Blade, he moves so effortlessly. I just discovered this series last month and" Binged Bought" them,then saw the Netflix stuff.......Lucky Me😄👍
I still think the second movie's one vs. many fight in the village is still the best but we might get a good one in The Beginning movie since we get to see the Hitokiri mode in action.
I watched the entire series. I don't think I can find words to describe it! I don't think I've watched anything like it! The entire production, acting, choreography, fights, acting and locations makes is all a masterpiece! Wonderful!
If you ever notice, in the first 2 Kenshin movies, Takeru's arms were bigger. I assume it was because of the rigorous sword training he took for the role. The best anime live action..
Wait-wait-wait! Does this mean the final two movies are out?! Came here as soon as I saw the notification! Just the thumbnail already looks so good. ^^
@@aybenahos4497 Yes, Arata Mackenyu is in both of the movies. I think it was really intentional for them to release The Beginning as a look back as to how it all began and Kenshin's story in the past. Parang pinapakita nila na lahat ng mga nangyari at kung bakit si Kenshin ay naging ganyan dahil sa mga nangyari sa kaniya noong una. Kung paano hinubog ang views or principles in life niya. Yan ang interpretasyon ko. The writer & director made the movies knowing that the audience are mainly Rurouni Kenshin fans and they are already familiar with the stories and characters. Pero opinion ko lang po ito. Hindi ko po sinasabi na tama talaga ako. Mas bet lang nilang maging last ang The Beginning siguro.
@@ImStreetAngel ah ok, yun pala yun, thanks sa explanation. I searched just now for the beginning trailer, 'broken heart of gold' pala yung ost nun?! Para dun pala ang kanta na yun. Hahayy, ang hirap talaga pag nasa province, d maxadong updated TT.TT
I love the Kenshin story. I get why he doesn’t kill anymore but these bad dudes keep coming back because he doesn’t kill them. It’s not like these guys are going to become good after losing to him. Like Jin and this dude with the claw hands.
He has speed and accuracy. And that makes Kenshin even more dangerous. Moreover, he can push all the strength to his sword to become very hard and turn into a bloody hit. That technique is only mastered by a hiten-mitsurugi ryu heir as spoken by Hiko Seijuro (Kenshin's sensei).
I watched all of them except for The final. They are all incredible. But so far, my favorite is Origins and the Beginning. All battle scenes were awesome. But they all had so much more. The Beginning had me crying like a baby! I haven't watched The Final because I couldn't bear the thought of the brother of his beloved being so ruthless. Eventually, I will watch it.
Pra mim uma das melhores franquias, Samurai X como e chamado aqui deixa saudade ao termino de cada filme. Espero que seja lançada uma série com os mesmos atores.
He could have ended it quickly by pointing his index finger at all of them and either saying, "Bang!" or make the rat-tat-tat-tat sound of a machine gun. He could have also just opened his back and let the missiles fly.
Love the choreography in the Rurouni Kenshin movies. If ever the Japanese filmmakers decide to adapt Naruto into live-action, I hope they use the same team that's responsible for these movies' choreography or set their goal to be as good as this.
