    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The kabuki play near the start of the film tells the tale of "Bakkyusai the Killsword." This name is a pun on "Battousai the Killsword": the "kyu" in the former and the "tou" in the latter (meaning "sword" in the "Battousai" nickname) can phonetically also mean "nine" and "ten." The kanji for "nine" resembles the kanji for "ten," but with a little hook hanging off the right side. Bakkyusai's facial scar resembles Battousai's famous cross-shaped scar, but with a little hook hanging off the right side. Somebody worked really hard to make that joke.
    • Goofs
      When Kenshin rides out to save Kaoru, he makes it to Shishio's ship in one night. Kyoto is an inland city. The sea is almost 50 km away in Osaka. Yet, the movie makes it seem like he reaches the sea in mere minutes.

    Spectacular Sequel
    The Chief of Police Hajime Saito (Yôsuke Eguchi) and a team of policemen hunt down the outlaw Makoto Shishio (Tatsuya Fujiwara), who was betrayed by the government after defeating the Tokugawa shogunate; however Shishio and his men slaughter the police officers and only Hajime survives. Kenshin Himura (Takeru Satô) is summoned by the government to help them to find Shishio in Kyoto. He refuses first, but when a minister is murdered, he accepts to go and leaves the dojo of Kaoru Kamiya (Emi Takei) and the boy Yahiko Myojin (Kaito Ohyagi), his friend Sanosuke Sagara (Munetaka Aoki) and Dr. Megumi Takani (Yû Aoi). Kenshin meets the thief Makimachi Misao (Tao Tsuchiya) that tries to steal his sakabato on the way to Kyoto and they stumble upon a boy that tells that his brother and his parents are in danger. They find the trio murdered by Shishio's men and Kenshin defeats them in the nearby village. A man called Sojiro Seta (Ryûnosuke Kamiki) contacts Kenshin and brings him to meet Shishio that asks Sojiro to duel Kenshin. Their sword fight stops when Kenshin's sakabato is broken and Shishio and his men go away. Meanwhile, Kaoru decides to find Kenshin in Kyoto and Yahiko and Sanosuke follow her. When Kenshin arrives at Kyoto, Misao asks whether he would like to go to a cheap inn. Kashiwazaki Nenji (Min Tanaka), who was the ninja Okina that worked for the Tokugawa shogunate, runs the place and teams up with Kenshin. He seeks out the talented blacksmith Shakku Arai to repair his sakabato and finds that he is dead. Arai's son Keiku does not help Kenshin, but when the evil Sawagejo Cho (Ryosuke Miura) kidnaps his baby, he calls Kenshin to save his son and gives him a new sakabato. Kenshin defeats the Shishio's warrior and he is arrested by the police. Soon Hajime and Kenshin learn that Shishio intends to burn Kyoto down and they prepare the defense of the town. Is Sawagejo Cho telling the truth?

    "Rurôni Kenshin: Kyôto taika-hen", a.k.a. "Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno", is a spectacular sequel of "Rurôni Kenshin: Meiji kenkaku roman tan". The story follows Kenshin and his friends from the first film and introduces a villain more evil than in the first film. The sad moment is the unknown fate of the gorgeous and sweet Kaoru Kamiya. Every viewer and fan is certainly hoping she has survived. My vote is ten.

    Title (Brazil): "Samurai X 2: O Inferno de Kyoto" (Samurai X 2: The Kyoto Inferno")
