[Deathmetalist16]

2 Bandits watched this video.

[DRAGONSsnares26]

so did rurouni kenshin come off of this or did this come off of rurouni kenshin??????????

[DRAGONSsnares26]

@DRAGONSsnares26 i know im talking to my self but this is that exact scene from rurouni kenshin. wait a minute i get it now this kenshin's past thats why i was so confused. if this is his past then it will be epic

[kissrasberr]

@DRAGONSsnares26 this is his past, how he became the kenshin legend.

[ultimateanime45]

why didint that one Samurai come earlier to save that village???

[Macbrother]

@ultimateanime45 He didn't come to save the village. Hiko Seijuro prefers to stay separated from the world. He was just passing by...

[zethgb]

This intro is the best anime intro I have ever watched

[ditto66]

My girlfriend said this was boring...i'm single now =]

[zethgb]

@ditto66 I also hope she is burried under a sake-soaked stone

[GuitarManiac951]

This OVA, is it meant to be watched after the main series?

[LtCatscratch]

@GuitarManiac951 : No, this is the begining. I think there are 2 OVAs, TV Series, TV Movies(2 i think) then the last OVA(the one contains Yahika vs Kenji, kenshins son)

[GuitarManiac951]

@LtCatscratch Ah ok, thanks

[zeshinka]

i saw this when i was like 7 maybe that's why i laugh at slaughter and violence

[Northernz1]

One of the best if not the best OVA in my humble opinion.

[yogd4life]

i will never forget this anime...its the best...watched every episode and ova..the story and characters are beautiful

[YoungGun66]

3:31 Dammit....ok shit follow me.

[YakuzaMoon85]

Best anime ever created everything is perfect!! Sad storyline but beautiful in its own way..

[Neuberder]

thank you for this upload

[Izanguard1]

wow this is the first time ive seen women slaughtered so openly in anime...

[GPMETALBR]

2 dislikes?? oh fuck...

[Heuss85]

Heatseaker, this is an OVA (Original Video Animation), it isn't part of the regular TV series. Here you can see Kenshin before being Battousai. This OVAs are way more adult and bloody than the original serie, i find it more "real".

[TheAbridgedGamer]

@Heuss85

More depressing than real :/

But i get your point though.

[lytle1990]

You choose somthing to live for and take pride in it, Even if you stray and become lost in your own way of thinking. In time you will come back too your roots and remeber the day you you took a vow to live for something. Kenshin lost his way at one point but he was always a protecter at heart and always will be

[Vaan362]

So what exactly made Hiko pick Kenshin as his student right at that moment???

[roulette6]

@Vaan362 The fact that Kenshin buried everyone, the slave trader girls he was with, and the pillagers who killed them. Kenshin demonstrated objectivity after an extreme circumstance, a central tenet of Seijuro's battou jutsu.

[fd455f]

Epic intro.

[kyuubisama69]

Wow, I cant believe Kenshin's master's voice actor was One Piece's Red-haired Shanks' VA too. And Shanks is also a very good swordsman.. Nice!

[gregy606]

Ya know I like it much better not re-mastered.. Seems to have much more grit, and passion. On my VHS version it feels like a whole different video.

[rurounisld]

thanks for uploading cause utube keeps on deleting Rk stuff due to copyrights and stuff.... u know i havent found yet another anime even close to rurouni kenshin.

I mean the serries 1-95 have great plot, awsome music and many funny moments.

but the Ovas could change ur life...

i really have no words to express what i feel every time i see this ova

[Heuss85]

This is just incredible... The music, the characters, the action... I think it's great that they have only shown a little bit of Seijuro's strength, that makes him even more powerfull...

[Heatseaker19]

@Heuss85 wait acn you explain to me why this is so bloody? I dont ever remember this time of stabbin adn slicin in ruronin kenshin. Is this a different version or somethin?

[gigantor21]

3:05 - Pure ownage. No wonder they got Char's VA to play him... :p
