The battle to decide the fate of Meiji-era swordsmanship has begun Action, romance, and historical intrigue help make Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin, the tale of a wandering swordsman set against the backdrop of the Meiji Restoration, one of the most popular Shonen Jump titles among fans to date. Himura Kenshin, once an assassin (or hitokiri ) of ferocious power, now fights to protect the honor of those in need. Kenshin and his comrades have finally discovered the location of Enishi's island compound, but to free Kaoru from captivity, a good deal of fighting will be necessary. Woo Heishin, Enishi's mysterious second-in-command, meets them on the beach and brings his deadly bodyguards, the S -shin or the "Four Stars," to serve as a welcoming committee. Yahiko, Sanosuke, Sait and Aoshi dive into combat with Woo Heishin's warriors as Kenshin prepares himself for his fateful, climactic duel with Enishi. Each of them a ferocious fighter, the S -shin are set on stopping Kenshin's friends dead in their tracks.

Has Kenshin found his answer?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Kenshin has revived and is now ready to retrieve Kaoru with the help of his dearest friends (and Saitou). We see how much Kenshin has changed in this volume from what he was like during the earlier volumes. And I can tell you, he's come a long way! The God Beast battles are a bit monotonous compared to the coming battle with Enishi, but they give Sanosuke, Yahiko, Aoshi and Saitou one last chance to shine. We see how much Sano and Yahiko have grown up and we see the sheer awesomeness of Aoshi and Saitou's powerful attacks. Kenshin's battle with Enishi far outshines his battle with Shishio in my opinion. The action is intense and almost non-stop. Kenshin's mid-battle speech is truly inspiring. The finale of the battle leaves me breathless.
