History Film / RurouniKenshinKyotoInferno

Himura Kenshin ([[Series/KamenRiderDenO Takeru Satoh]]) couldn't be any more happier. Not only has he continued to stay true to his pacifism, he has also found a new home with Kendo teacher, Kaoru Kamiya (Emi Takei). This peace is interrupted when the Japanese government arrives at his doorstep with an important mission: to eliminate former ''Ishin Shishi'' soldier, Makoto Shishio (Tatsuya Fujiwara). Having survived a fiery assassination attempt just minutes after the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, Shishio has planned for revenge by unleashing a reign of terror upon Kyoto itself. Thus, Kenshin must enlist old friends and new allies to take down Shishio's army and protect the city at all costs.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Shishio and Aoshi share this burning desire to defeat/kill Battosai, subsequently claiming the title of the strongest, which is present in the source material. The film, however, plays this UpToEleven considering how they obsessively compete for his attention (Shishio more successful in gaining the attention of his "senpai" in this respect).

%%* BadassBeard: Okubo and Okina sport one. For a non-combatant swordsmith, Shakku's beard is also remarkable.

* BookEnds: The film begins and ends with a confrontation between a hero and Shishio in a location belonging to the latter. The hero shouts out Shishio's name, and [[spoiler:fails to stop the villain in the process]]. [[FireWaterJuxtaposition To hammer home the similarities, the first instance takes place in a flaming lair, while the last scene is set on the]] ''[[FireWaterJuxtaposition Rengoku]]''[[FireWaterJuxtaposition , while a torrential downpour occurs.]]
