So i finally watched and found out that this movie it is about kenshin's past as battousai and his past with tomoe. No other main cast member appears from the other movies with the exception of Saito and of course Enishi.
As much as I liked it (bc I don't think we ever had his complete backstory in the manga told in a row. It been a lot time since i read the manga so i could be wrong) I confess that I am a bit disappointed because they didn't show kenshin and kaoru together with their son. In this movie we had a small intimate scene with a kiss between kenshin and tomoe but nothing with kenshin and kaoru on the penultimate movie.
I think these last 2 movies could have been better divided. As much as this movie has many new scenes, it also has some scenes that we've already seen in the form of flashbacks.
If it was me I would have left his past story in the penultimate movie, starting from the part where kenshin tells kaoru, yahiko, Sano and Megumi his story and then the whole fight with Enishi for the last movie and for sure there would still have been left time for the epilogue of kenshin married to kaoru and their son, Kenji, since the repeated flashbacks would have been eliminated. Also sad that we didn't had the fake kaoru death. That would had been the perfect ending for the penultimate movie.
Another solution would have been either to cut something from the penultimate movie or put another 10m extra in the penultimate movie for the epilogue.
