In the heart of rural Japan, Kenshin Himura finally reaches the source of the fire that has been blackening the country. Kenshin, the herald of past revolution, has his historic first meeting with Shishio, the herald of future revolution. Both men have a vision of what Japan should be, both men have the power to shape the world, and both men have carried the title "Battousai." But before their battle begins, Kenshin must defeat Shishio's champion, Sojiro. Sojiro is a young man who always has a pleasant smile on his face, even when he is committing the most brutal of murders. While he may be small and frail, Sojiro has raw skill unlike any other swordsman, and his lethal attitude makes him the perfect Manslayer!
