Fans’ Expectations from Rurouni Kenshin Episode 1
The first episode of the new Rurouni Kenshin anime will probably follow in the footsteps of the original by providing some backstory for the former assassin, Himura Kenshin. The episode could provide further background on his time spent as the cold-blooded killer Hitokiri Battousai. After the fall of the Bakumatsu, Battousai reinvented himself as the nomadic samurai Himura Kenshin.
