Rurouni Kenshin, who was a genius in sword fighting, decided in his youth to help end the uprisings by entering these battles after witnessing the slaughter of people in the Japanese Revolution. Kenshin killed many of the group leaders with his martial arts skills, but he couldn't reduce the slaughter and uprisings. One night, he kills an innocent man, and as a result of this incident and the man's fiancée's revenge, he becomes cursed and receives a cross-shaped scar on his face that is incurable. After that incident, Kenshin reverses his sword and makes a vow to himself to never kill anyone again. After several years, the uprising ends, and during this time, events occur that force Kenshin to re-enter the battlefields, but this time in a new way...
