With the movie trilogy done and finished theatrically and the home video releases beginning to be solicited, Funimation is highlighting the third and final film in the Rurouni Kenshin trilogy with The Legend Ends. The distributor has cut their first trailer for it recently and now the latest clip has arrived that brings us some solid action material with Shishio having to deal with several people that are no match for him.
Funimation released all three films in Japanese language with subtitles in U.S. theaters at the end of this summer – “Rurouni Kenshin: Origins” on August 8 – 10, “Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno” on September 12 – 14 and “Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends” on Oct 3 – 5.
Plot concept: After his confrontation with Shishio ends in defeat, Kenshin Himura awakens at the home of his old Master. With his mind set on revenge, he trains day and night to learn the final technique of his deadly fighting style. While he builds up his strength, Shishio and his army attack the coastline and force the new government to name Kenshin a wanted man. With the world closing in on him, Kenshin will have to look inside himself to find the strength he needs to protect his friends and end Shishio’s reign of terror once and for all. As the two ex-assassins prepare for their final fight, the wanderer with the back-blade and a bloody past will learn which force truly drives him—his will to live or his killer instinct.
