Well guess who's back in Japan!? It's Yutaro and his uncle Hans!! But, somebody is after them!! The Black Knights! A group from Germany who wants to rule the world someday, but they need something from Yutaro's uncle first! When they get it, it's a race against time for Kenshin, Kaoru, Sanosuke, Yahiko and Yutaro as they unlock the secret of the Divine Elixer, before the Black Knights find it!! An unlikely ninja takes up alliance with the Knights, agreeing to help them if she gets control of Japan, but is she willing to risk her clan just for the sake of leadership? And will the Black Knights keep their word to her?

The music is here is so pretty, although they tend to use the same themes over and over again. Story is great! I love it! And they have some very nice visual effects, like the ripples and reflections in the water, almost looks like its real!! Amazing! And the green sunlight coming down through the trees, (green because it's coming through leaves) makes you feel as if you are right in the woods with them! Nice 2-D effects in here, they did a nice job on this!

This cartoon is one of the rare anime cartoons that is truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this to anybody that likes cartoons or anime.

I am a huge fan of both the rurouni kenshin anime and manga, so its quite a dissapointment to see what becomes of the anime. After the shougo arc, kenshin struggles with people he should have no trouble with(guys weaker than shishio). Everyone got dumber(look at sanosuke) and weaker(yahiko is able to immitate Ryutsuisen against henya, but he's useless against some of the foes from here on.) It bothers me because of what could have been, looking at the manga. If you want to see what really happens, check out the Rurouni Kenshin graphic novels. Buy this only if you want to complete your ruroken collection only.

This DVD's pretty cool, man! Who would ever think that Yutaro, the little boy with his arm broken by his master, Raijuta,that first appeared in Rurouni Kenshin Vol.5, would return to Japan in the 20th volume of the series? Yeah, it's totally cool. So buy this DVD now!
