るろうに剣心―明治剣客浪漫譚―追憶編

In the days leading up to the Japanese Revolution, a young boy named Shinta is rescued from a bandit raid by the wandering swordsman Hiko Seijuro. Seeing the boy's compassion in burying both his fellow slaves and the bandits who killed them, Hiko takes him under his wing, renames him Kenshin—meaning "heart of sword"—and trains him in the Hiten Mitsurugi style. As Kenshin grows, his gentle nature clashes with the brutal path he must walk.

Kenshin becomes the feared Hitokiri Battousai, an assassin fighting for the revolution. Torn between his ideals of protecting the innocent and the harsh reality of killing, he struggles to hold onto his humanity. The OVA explores the dark origins of the man who would one day swear never to kill again, as his actions shape the fate of a nation.
