| Summary: |
In the days before the Japanese Revolution, Hiko Seiijuro, a wandering master swordsman and hermit, encounters a bandit raid on a slave wagon. Hiko kills the raiding bandits in hopes of saving as many lives as possible, but only manages to spare one life from the massacre. Hiko leaves the child, advising him to go to the nearby village and have them take care of him. A few days later, as Hiko comes back to check upon the child he saved, he is shocked to see the child had created graves, both for the slaves he befriended and the bandits who killed them. Seeing potential in the young one, Hiko takes the child under his wing, names him Kenshin, meaning “heart of sword,” and teaches him about the art of swordsmanship under the Hiten Mitsuruugi Ryu.
Struggling in a constant challenge with his ideal beliefs reflecting against the harshness of reality, Tsuiokuhen tells the melancholic and dark story of Himura Kenshin as one of the most feared assassins of the Japanese Revolution: the Hitokiri Battousai. |

Some might say that you could watch the Tsuiokuhen OVA before the original series... I strongly disagree! To fully appreciate the OVA (which in my opinion is one of the best prequels made) you must see the original Rurouni Kenshin series first... not just to follow the timing of events in order, but to fully understand the characters, and to understand the true sadness that changes him. I've seen this many years ago, but decided to watch them again... it definitely reminds me why I love anime to begin with. Everything was beautifully done: the animation, the music, the action, the emotions... it was all there! If you’re a fan of Rurouni Kenshin then you don't need me to convince you what I’m talking about... but if you haven't seen any of the series then you're sadly missing out...
