Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning

Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning (Japanese: るろうに剣心 最終章 The Beginning, Rurouni Kenshin: Saishūshō – Za Biginingu) is a 2021 Japanese live-action film directed by Keishi Ōtomo. It is the fifth and final installment in the Rurouni Kenshin film series based on Nobuhiro Watsuki's manga of the same name, and was produced alongside Rurouni Kenshin: The Final. The narrative of the film approximates the plot of the manga's Tsuiokuhen (追憶編, "Recollections / Reminiscence") arc, earlier adapted into the 1999 OVA Trust & Betrayal.
