After six years since the last film, Rurouni Kenshin's two new live action films will premiere in Summer 2020.
The movies will adapt the final arc of the original work, the "Jinchu Arc", covering the "Remembrance Arc", a part of the Jinchu Arc, which was adapted into a well-received OVA, and the story up until the climax of the Jinchu Arc, after the grand battle with Shishio Makoto.
Sato Takeru, who was 22 years old at the time of the first live action film, will be 30 years old in March 2019. Regarding his feelings towards the final chapter, Sato commented: "I've put my all into every work I've acted in but "Rurouni Kenshin" as expected, has a special place in my heart. These two movies will also depict the secret behind Kenshin's cross-shaped scar (Kenshin's past), and is without a doubt the most important episode for Kenshin."

I like Sato Takeru in Rurouni Kenshin.
3. [+1632 / -34]
Seeing him in that picture, Sato Takeru sure has a pretty face.
4. [+61 / -18]
Wasn't there some dispute?
5. [+1327 / -27]
Kenshin's actor, Sato Takeru is so cool (*^o^*)
6. [+1008 / -13]
Don't use problematic people, okay?!
We wouldn't want the movies to be cancelled before it screens!
9. [+780 / -47]
I hated Takei Emi in Rurouni Kenshin, she was so annoying.
10. [+902 / -3]
I wonder who's going to play Tomoe. Her character's pretty important.
45. [+68 / -10]
>>10
Unfortunately, it's Arimura Kasumi

The Enishi arc, it's either you love it or you hate it, right?
13. [+555 / -19]
Wait, was it the original author of this work who was arrested?
14. [+546 / -3]
Tomoe's a really important character. I wonder who it's gonna be.
24. [+22 / -79]
>>14
According to eyewitness reports, Tomoe's apparently Arimura Kasumi
And Enishi is Mackenyu or something

Arimura Kasumi, are you serious?
If that's the case, it would be better if Arimura Kasumi was Kaoru and Takei Emi was Tomoe...

15. [+445 / -7]
That's quite a time gap since the previous movie.
I wonder if it took so long because of Takei-san's pregnancy and everything.
16. [+582 / -8]
Seems like now that he's thirty, the filming is going to be tough on him physically
If I remember correctly, in the previous films, he performed everything himself without a stuntman, but he was young then
17. [+17 / -76]
So they've finally announced a sequel
Arimura Kasumi and Mackenyu are going to appear, aren't they?
20. [+491 / -16]
I like Rurouni Kenshin but the original author was arrested for being a IoIıcon so...
21. [+359 / -18]
My image of Enishi was young-Narimiya but, I wonder who it'll be.
*Narimiya Hiroki
22. [+233 / -13]
I heard rumours that Tomoe was going to be played by Ayase Haruka but that's wrong, right?
Since someone else played her in the previous movie.
*Tomoe appeared in a flashback in a previous movie but her face was never shown.
31. [+126 / -9]
>>22
Isn't that pushing it, in terms of age?
Tomoe's supposed to be in her teens.

23. [+469 / -3]
Judging from this picture of Kenshin, Tomoe-san's going to appear...
I wonder who it'll be
I can't think of any actress who can produce Tomoe-san's transient sensuality.
25. [+568 / -11]
Arimura Kasumi, you're kidding, right?! (lol)
No way...
26. [+128 / -6]
The original author committed a heinous crime but it didn't affect anything.
*Rurouni Kenshin author was arrested for possession of child poɾnogrαphy, and was let off with a 200,000 yen (approx. $2,000) fine.
27. [+358 / -14]
It's the story where Kenshin's late wife appears. This was my favourite story in the manga. The anime was horrible.
28. [+395 / -58]
Takei's Kaoru wasn't that bad. I liked it but it was badly received.
I thought that Tsuchiya-san's Misao-chan was good too.
Everyone's too touchy, it's sad.
29. [+260 / -8]
I also want them to choose a wonderful actor to play Tomoe-san's ex-fiance.
I'm Tomoe-san's ex-fiance's fan. There seems to be extremely few of us though.
30. [+115 / -20]
Is Kubota-kun going to be in it??
*Kubota Masataka
33. [+26 / -2]
Yahiko had almost no scenes in the previous two movies, so are they going to suddenly make him stronger?
34. [+5 / -87]
Seems like they're going to chuck Tsuchiya Tao in as Tomoe.
37. [+192 / -4]
>>34
That's not gonna happen, since she's already playing Misao.

35. [+308 / -4]
Arimura Kasumi is baby-faced
Tomoe has a more adult-like image
38. [+386 / -6]
No, no, Kaoru was an annoying character to begin with so even if it wasn't Takei Emi playing her she would have still been annoying. I'm just glad that it wasn't Ishihara Satomi (lol)
40. [+281 / -8]
Arimura Kasumi is the cute type...
I can't even sense a speck of transient sensuality from her...
41. [+328 / -5]
There are too many eye witness reports that Arimura Kasumi will be in Rurouni Kenshin
She's probably Tomoe.
That's really hard to accept.
44. [+174 / -3]
I wonder if ONE OK ROCK will be singing the theme again.
58. [+273 / -4]
Kenshin is supposed be around 30, so Sato Takeru's current visuals matches the character perfectly.
A man with delicate features who looks younger than his age
63. [+252 / -1]
The author said that Tomoe is an Ayanami Rei* type cool beauty.
Arimura-san is cute but her looks are the complete opposite of Tomoe's.
Tomoe doesn't have such big and round eyes.

For important characters like Tomoe etc, I want them to choose actors and actresses who will faithfully play the character without caring whether they're big names.
It's also fine if they change the actress for Kaoru.
2. [+5374 / -516]
Sato Takeru himself is handsome and has an outstanding presence but no matter what character he plays, I'm still able to see him as the character, not Sato Takeru.
I think that he has grown exceptionally as an actor. As he gets older, I believe that he will become an actor who can represent Japan.
3. [+1206 / -42]
This is unmistakably Sato Takeru's representative work.
I like how his expression changes depending on the role he's playing so I'm really looking forward to this.
I want him to work hard filming to the end without any injuries.
4. [+1207 / -67]
I'm curious as to who they will cast as Tomoe and Enishi. If possible, I want them to change the actress for Kaoru too...
Also, what are they going to do with Gein?
5. [+950 / -51]
You could say that the cast of Tomoe and Enishi will determine the quality of the films.
That's how important their characters are.
If possible, I want them to change the actress for Kaoru too!
6. [+846 / -61]
My feelings towards the Jinchu arc in the original work are complicated, or rather, my expectations for Kenshin's backstory were too high, so the feeling that it was a bit of a let-down was strong... It might be good if they changed it slightly.
And as for who will play Tomoe and Enishi, unskilled actors won't be able to handle their characters.
The casting will determine everything.
