Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal

るろうに剣心 -明治剣客浪漫譚- 追憶編

Before he became the wandering swordsman of the Meiji era, Kenshin Himura was the Hitokiri Battōsai — a teenage assassin serving the Chōshū clan during the Bakumatsu revolution. Trained in the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū style by master Hiko Seijūrō and deployed as a killer by Chōshū leader Katsura Kogorō, Kenshin operates without hesitation until a woman named Yukishiro Tomoe draws him into a life away from the battlefield. This four-episode OVA prequel traces the origin of Kenshin's cross-shaped scar.
