Mot-clé Shinsengumi

Avant de devenir protecteur, Kenshin était un redoutable assassin nommé Battosaï. Après sa rencontre avec l'affable Tomoe Yukishiro, tout commence à changer pour lui.

En 1879, Kenshin se bat avec ses alliés contre son plus grand ennemi : son ancien beau-frère Enishi Yukishiro, entouré de ses sbires qui ont juré de se venger.

Après avoir remercié Kaoru qui tentait désespérément de l’arrêter, Kenshin se rend finalement à Kyoto. Là-bas, armé de son sabre, il va devoir faire face à son ennemi le plus redoutable jusqu’à maintenant : Shishio, l’homme que tout le monde craint. Mais c’est sans compter les nombreux alliés de Sojiro qui vont se mettre sur son chemin.

Une nouvelle vie commence pour Kenshin, installé avec Kaoru et ses amis, jusqu'au jour où il est appelé par le gouvernement : Makoto Shishio, célèbre assassin, a été trahi, brûlé vif et laissé pour mort. Survivant et avide de vengeance, il est désormais à Kyoto où il prépare un complot avec sa troupe de guerriers pour renverser le gouvernement. Kenshin se voit donc obligé d'aller contrer les plans de Shishio pour l'avenir de son pays.

À l’aube d’une ère nouvelle, le légendaire tueur Battosai décide de se retirer. Dix ans plus tard, un homme doté d’une incroyable dextérité fait son apparition. Ce combattant hors pair qui se fait appeler Kenshin rôde tel un vagabond sur les routes du Japon. Armé d’un sabre dont la lame ne peut pas tuer, il tente de protéger un idéal dans une nation plongée dans le chaos...

Kyoto, au printemps 1865. Sozaburo et Hyozo viennent tous deux d'être embrigadés, au temple Nishi-Honganji, dans une prestigieuse milice composée exclusivement de samouraïs. Sozaburo, par son aspect androgyne, trouble tous les soldats, suscitant bien des convoitises. Bien que rien dans la milice n'interdise les amours entre hommes, certains d'entre eux le désirent en secret, même si Sozaburo clame haut et fort qu'il n'aime pas les garçons. Lorsqu'on retrouve le corps sans vie d'un soldat, c'est Sozaburo qui est chargé d'exécuter le principal suspect, qui n'est autre que Hyozo, soupçonné d'avoir tué par jalousie…

Au moment de la chute du Shogun, le samourai Kanichiro Yoshimura n'arrive plus à subvenir aux besoins de son épouse et de ses enfants. L'argent qu'il reçoit de son clan est insuffisant. Par amour pour les siens, Kanichiro est contraint de quitter son petit village. Il part à la recherche d'un clan plus important lequel pourrait le payer à hauteur de ses besoins en échange de ses services.

Ryoma Sakamoto, un idéaliste japonais considéré comme étant à l’origine de la chute du régime féodale (période nommée Bakumatsu 幕末, c’est le titre original). Cet homme rêvait de permettre au Japon de s’ouvrir au monde Occidental afin de se moderniser. Mais surtout de pouvoir rivaliser avec ces puissantes nations de l’Ouest lors d’éventuelles futures batailles. Ses idées dérangent, très vite Sakamoto est rejeté de son clan puis chassé par le gouvernement qui le considère comme un rebelle. En pleine chute du régime féodal, Ryoma Sakamoto est l’ennemi de tous, aussi bien des loyalistes (soutenant l’empereur) que des inconditionnels du Shogun. (Source : Wildgrounds)

Ten years have passed since the end of Bakumatsu, an era of war that saw the uprising of citizens against the Tokugawa shogunate. The revolutionaries wanted to create a time of peace, and a thriving country free from oppression. The new age of Meiji has come, but peace has not yet been achieved. Swords are banned but people are still murdered in the streets. Orphans of war veterans are left with nowhere to go, while the government seems content to just line their pockets with money.

The year is 1863, with the story being based in Kyoto. We follow a youth named Nio who is an honest and kind soul who's considerate of his family, yet he also has a hidden burning passion for seeking justice. From the time he came across Toshizou Hijikata and Souji Okita, members from a group of hated ronin known as the Miburo, his life then takes a turn to a bluer, and clearer path. Nio, alongside the other men whose hearts burn bravely and true, step forth towards an honest path with their blue wills adorned on their hearts!

The Meiji Era was one of great renewal for Japan, where swords and killing were outlawed. However, many survivors from the time of Revolution still live, lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to use their killing blades again. Only Kenshin Himura, formerly one of the most brutal of killers, hopes to keep his swordsman's honor and still live in the new era.
