    A new height in the series!
    I really didn't expect the beginning to be better than the final.

    Everything is perfect the story and cinematography and the fights OMG. This is the only movie in the series that shows kenshin real sword and killing skills.

    I really really enjoyed it and now also the series is complete and you can watch it in the storyline order as below: The Beginning Origin Kyoto inferno The legend ends The final.
