Paraula clau Shinsengumi

Kenshin Himura és un extraordinari guerrer samurai que viu enmig d'una societat en la que els guerrers ja no serveixen per res. Japó és a punt d'entrar en l'era del regnat de l'emperador Meiji, en ple canvi a la industrialització i la modernitat, i en el camí que Japó va emprendre per convertir-se en potència mundial. El protagonista és un dels pocs guerrers que queden, després que els samurais es perdessin en l'oblit. Algun dia, Kenshin va ser un gran mestre de l'espasa que lluitava en nombroses batalles, al costat d'un grup de patriotes. Ara només és un rodamón que va jurar no tornar a matar, i es dedica a ajudar a qui més ho necessita. Amb això es guanya l'afecte i el respecte de la gent. Passats ja 10 anys, al 1878, Kenshin arriba a Tòquio, on coneix en Kaoru, qui li ofereix quedar-se a viure en el seu dojo, el seu lloc de meditació. Tanmateix, l'antiga vida que Kenshin intenta deixar en el passat, tornarà per posar-se en contra seva.

Ten years have passed since the end of Bakumatsu, an era of war that saw the uprising of citizens against the Tokugawa shogunate. The revolutionaries wanted to create a time of peace, and a thriving country free from oppression. The new age of Meiji has come, but peace has not yet been achieved. Swords are banned but people are still murdered in the streets. Orphans of war veterans are left with nowhere to go, while the government seems content to just line their pockets with money.

The Meiji Era was one of great renewal for Japan, where swords and killing were outlawed. However, many survivors from the time of Revolution still live, lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to use their killing blades again. Only Kenshin Himura, formerly one of the most brutal of killers, hopes to keep his swordsman's honor and still live in the new era.

The year is 1863, with the story being based in Kyoto. We follow a youth named Nio who is an honest and kind soul who's considerate of his family, yet he also has a hidden burning passion for seeking justice. From the time he came across Toshizou Hijikata and Souji Okita, members from a group of hated ronin known as the Miburo, his life then takes a turn to a bluer, and clearer path. Nio, alongside the other men whose hearts burn bravely and true, step forth towards an honest path with their blue wills adorned on their hearts!

There were men who were passionate about being samurai. The men became samurai warriors at the forefront of the fierce battle that affected the future of Japan as part of the Shinsengumi...

The arrival of Matthew Perry's Black Ships rudely awakened Japan from 300 years of isolation from the world. Men set their eyes beyond Japan and began to demand change in society. Old clashed with the new, and thus began an age of turmoil. Amidst this confusion, one group remained true to the old ways and risked their lives to preserve the traditional shogunate system. Led by their charismatic captain, Kondo Isami, the Shinsengumi upheld the code of honor of the samurai. Tales abound of the feats of men like Kondo, Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soshi. In general, the passion and glory of these men who lived during these turbulent times in Japanese history are given exploration.

It is said that the Shinsengumi, led by Isami Kondo, delayed the start of the Meiji restoration by 10 years. This is a large-scale historical drama that tells about their life path up to the battle of Ikedaya.
