After seemingly losing Kaoru Kamiya (Emi Takei) and failing to prevent Makoto Shishio (Tatsuya Fujiwara) from setting sail to Tokyo, Himura Kenshin ([[Series/KamenRiderDenO Takeru Satoh]]) finds himself at his lowest point. Fortunately, there is a silver lining: the possibility of learning one last technique from his former master, Hiko Seijuro XIII (Masaharu Fukuyama). To master it, Hiko orders Kenshin to seek out the one value he doesn't possess, a task that proves to be difficult. Meanwhile, Shishio sets out to control the Japanese government, demanding that they find and execute Kenshin, or risk having their cover-ups leaked to the public. Nonetheless, the fate of the entire country depends on Kenshin, who can finally prove himself as a true pacifist if he defeats Shishio first.
