Spoilers ahead
In a flashback, Hiko Seijūrō [Masaharu Fukuyama] spots the young Shinta digging graves for bandits and slavers killed in battle. Shinta shares a stark belief that all people are just bodies after death, a notion that unsettles the seasoned swordsman. Seeing a spark of raw talent and a stubborn will to live, Hiko decides to take the boy as his student and renames him Kenshin [Takeru Satoh], setting the course for a life defined by the vow to protect rather than to kill. Kenshin awakens later at Master Hiko’s home after three days of unconsciousness, wondering if his friend Kaoru is still alive. The reunion scene, filled with relief and urgent questions, underscores the gravity of Kenshin’s search for purpose as much as for safety.
