The core of this film is the concept of —justice handed down by man. While Shishio (from the Kyoto arc) wanted to conquer Japan, Enishi’s goal is devastatingly personal. He doesn't want to rule the world; he wants to dismantle Kenshin’s soul.
One of the most striking elements of The Final is seeing Kenshin pushed to his absolute breaking point. For years, his sakabatō has been his shield against the "Hitokiri Battousai". Yet, Enishi forces him to confront a terrifying reality: can you truly protect those you love without becoming the monster you once were? Rurouni Kenshin: The Final
