What Rurouni Kenshin Part II: Kyoto Inferno is
You track a wandering swordsman into Meiji-era Kyoto, where a fire-scarred phantom from your past gathers an army to burn the new government to the ground. Hidden swords await behind screens, loyalties unravel at hot-spring inns, and the city itself becomes a duel ground. A director once trained in samurai theater stages every clash like a staged play.
