We’ve no doubt that many of you are (like us!) anxiously awaiting the release of the next “Rurouni Kenshin” live-action movies. To flare up our excitement to even higher levels is a second teaser trailer for the two sequel movies, “Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen” (“Kyoto Inferno”) and “Rurouni Kenshin: Densetsu no Saigo-hen” (“The Legend Ends”). With English subtitles, even. This teaser is currently being streamed on the movies’ official website, along with the first teaser trailer.
The movies will be based on the original “Rurouni Kenshin” manga’s Kyoto arc. In the arc’s storyline, Kenshin (played by Takeru Sato) leaves his newfound friends in Tokyo and travels to Kyoto to stop Makoto Shishio (played by “Death Note” actor Tatsuya Fujiwara) from overthrowing the government and taking over Japan.
This second teaser trailer introduces the new characters that feature significantly in the Kyoto arc, including Shishio, Misao Makimachi (Tao Tsuchiya), Aoshi Shinomori (Yusuke Iseya), Okina (Min Tanaka) and fan-favourite Soujirou Seta (Ryuunosuke Kamiki). It also previews Kenshin’s duels with Aoshi, Soujirou and Shishio, as well as an iconic and emotional scene between Kenshin and Kaoru Kamiya (Emi Takei).
Check out the trailer below:
The trailer has also been subtitled in Chinese, Korean, French and Spanish. According to the official Facebook page, a version with Tagalog subtitles will be put up shortly.
“Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen” will premiere in Japan on 1 August 2014 while ”Rurouni Kenshin: Densetsu no Saigo-hen” will open in 13 September 2014.
According to a countdown on the official website for the movies, the first movie premiere will be in 132 days. That sounds like an agonizingly long wait…What scenes are you most looking forward to seeing? Do comment and let us know!
