About
You can stream Rurouni Kenshin Part I: Origins (2012) on Netflix with a subscription.
In 1868, after the Bakumatsu war ends, the ex-assassin Kenshin Himura traverses Japan with an inverted sword, to defend the needy without killing.
Forget the typical bloodthirsty swordsman tropes for a protagonist who fights with a blunt, reverse-edged blade to honor a vow of non-lethality. This kinetic martial arts epic trades mindless carnage for fluid, rhythmic choreography that turns every duel into a desperate dance of survival.
