Teaser trailers have been released for the films Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire Arc and Rurouni Kenshin: The Last of a Legend Arc, a two-part sequel to the film Rurouni Kenshin
that will be released this summer. The second half of the trailer even
shows Kenshin Himura’s archenemy, Makoto Shishio. Visuals related to the
series are also being introduced on the official site.
Rurouni Kenshin is a live-action film series based on Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Japanese manga Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
The first movie in the series was released simultaneously worldwide (64
countries) on Aug. 25, 2012. The film gathered support from fans due to
its original story, gorgeous action scenes, and its ability to capture
the atmosphere of the manga. Even just within Japan, more than 2 million
people saw the film and it grossed ￥3 billion in box office revenue.
Now,
the cast for the newest films in this popular series has been
completely revealed. The cast is currently travelling all over Japan
filming for the movies. Reprising his role as Kenshin from the first
film is Takeru Satoh. Other members include Yūsuke Iseya as Aoshi
Shinomori, Ryūnosuke Kamiki as the naturally gifted swordsman Sōjirō
Seta, and Tatsuya Fujiwara as Makoto Shishio.
However,
there are still many unanswered questions regarding the new films. The
Kyoto arc of the original manga included Makoto Shishio’s subordinates
“The Ten Swords” which Sōjirō Seta is a part of, and Kenshin’s master,
Seijūrō Hiko. Will these characters also appear in the film based on
this arc? Will Kenshin learn the mysteries of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū?
Look forward to more information to come.
These
film sequels are making headlines the world over, and it’s already been
decided that they will open in 64 countries and be screened at 31
international film festivals. Rurouni Kenshin fans, even though it’s still a ways off, there is a lot to look forward to this summer!
