Yesterday, Warner Brothers Japan has released the full official trailer for the movie "Rurouni Kenshin: The Final," one of the two films that will conclude the live-action saga.  

The final installment in the live-action trilogy of the manga-anime classic is finally set for its big-screen premiere in April 2021.

 

Takeru Satoh reprises his role as Kenshin Himura, an assassin turned repentant wanderer who strives to protect the people of Japan.

This time Himura Kenshin is in conflict with Yukishiro Enishi (played by American-Japanese star Mackenyu Arata), a mysterious weapons dealer. 

Enishi is seeking revenge on Himura for the death of his sister, Tomoe, who was also the swordsman's wife. 

The trailer revealed a glimpse of the theme song "Renegades" by ONE OK ROCK.

Earlier, Warner Bros showed Kenshin wearing a black kimono for the first time instead of his iconic red.

All of the movies were adapted from the manga called "Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story," also known as "Samurai X by Nobuhiro Watsuki.  

"The Final" is one of two back-to-back films that will conclude the hit live-action film series.  

“Rurouni Kenshin: The Final” is all about Kenshin’s past coming back to haunt him.  The film will premiere on April 23, 2021 in Japan.  

This will be followed by "Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning," which centers on how Himura got his cross-shaped scar. It is scheduled to premiere in Japan on June 4.
