Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends 伝説の最期編

The final movie to the Rurouni Kenshin live action movie trilogy. The previous movie was Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen.

Himura Kenshin - Satoh Takeru → 緋村剣心 - 佐藤健
- Shinta - 福崎那由他 → 心太 - 福崎那由他
Kamiya Kaoru - Takei Emi → 神谷薫 - 武井咲
Sagara Sanosuke - Aoki Munetaka → 相楽左之助 - 青木崇高
Takani Megumi - Aoi Yuu → 高荷恵 - 蒼井優
Myoujin Yahiko - Ohyagi Kaito → 明神弥彦 - 大八木凱斗

The movie starts with a flashback to a story from the Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen OVA (localized as Samurai X Trust & Betrayal in the US).
Kenshin's real name is revealed to be Shinta (心太 Shin = Heart). Hiko Seijuurou renames him Kenshin, which means "Heart of the Sword".
The kanji for Hiko (比古) in Hiko Seijuurou means "old by comparison". Sei (清) means "purity"
- In the anime, Hiko is 42 years old at the time (But they joke that he looks like he's in his late 20s). Kenshin is supposed to be around 28. Satoh Takeru (Kenshin) is 25 in real life and Hiko's actor, Fukuyama Masaharu, is 46.

When the fishermen see Shishio's armored ship, they run into the village shouting "a black ship". The others make fun of them saying "were you dreaming of the Bakumatsu" and "it was probably a foreign ship" referring to the famous historical instance of Captain Perry sailing into Japan on a black ship, an event leading to the end of Japan's 200 years of isolationism.
A policeman refers to Saitou Hajime as Fujita. That's because after the Meji Restoration, he changed his name to Fujita Gorou (藤田五郎).[1]
