The fight isn’t over yet

Set for respective releases in August and September, Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire) and Rurouni Kenshin: Densetsu no Saigo-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend) have received a few new screenshots. Though a small collection, the images show Kenshin facing off against Sojiro Seta and the infamous Shishio Makoto. Also released was a list featuring a majority of the cast for both films, including the previously revealed Tatsuya Fujiwara.

The films will premiere in Japan on 1st August and 13th September, with no word as of yet when they will see their global release. Though if the first film’s (simply titled Rurouni Kenshin) schedule is anything to go by, it shouldn’t be too long of a gap before the world beyond Japan can watch samurai clash in true Rurouni Kenshin fashion. Can you see the future? Are you ready?
