It definitely is one BIG entry! How they transported the whole atmosphere just in this beginning is goosebump-inducing. The production design is just brilliant... perfectly fitting for Shishio.
To be fair, while yes, the adaptation was the best anime live action ever made so far, its much more easy on a technical level to adapt sword fights than ki blasts and whatnot. However one adaptation that did wonder with energy attacks was Street fighter ansatsuken (Though it was strictly speaking a game adaptation)
3:25 When Shishio bit Kenshin’s shoulder and threw him into the boxes like a beast then his woman smiled and Hoji yelled out “MAGNIFICENT”. This has me hyped af 😭 Then he proceeded to get jumped by 3 other guys and beat them all himself while slowly starting to die from his overheating burns. Absolute monster in this movie 🔥
The Meiji government justified his disregard for life and the brutality of his actions which would discredit them, I mean for example if they were trying to implement changes or to earn the locals' trust, no one would comply, and things would turn out as a revolution. The perfect moment to illustrate disregard for life was when he took down two of his henchmen without any reason (Kyoto Inferno). What was the point of that? To test his katana sword. To be more specific, watch the scene minutes before Kenshin first met Shishio Makoto. Disregard for life also implied he would finish off a wounded comrade instead of rescuing him.
Best part is, he seemingly succeeded. In later parts of the manga when Kenshin is near death, it is Shishio that shows up to collect. The new Demon King of Hell.

@@CaptinJack Yeah I know, he's a good actor, probably my favourite Japanese actor. He was also in the first film I watched of his, Battle Royale. Kaiji is a good film he's in too.
Fun fact, the actor that played Shishio in the live action, also played the main lead in the Japanese Battle Royale movie. Which is fitting and ironic considering both characters fight for their lives in a hellish society only to be labeled an enemy and dangerous by their respective Japanese government.
@@deirvindavis5093 But you did lay out parallels to their circumstances - it feels unfair to not point out the root origin of the paths and compare them as well.. BR's lead being labeled a criminal was unjust - he was a relatively civil kid, who got dealt a shit hand by a totalitarian govt despite not even being a delinquent like his classmates. Shishio was betrayed because he was the total opposite - though underhanded, I can understand why the Meiji govt would chose to try kill someone like him. He wasn't killed because he was a hitokiri - if that was so, then even Kenshin would have been targeted. No, they attempted killing him because even as a hitokiri, he engaged in unsanctioned killings and committed war crimes without authority. By the end of the war, his activities had made him so toxic that being associated with him was likely to destroy the fledgling new govt's reputation in the eyes of the populace. BR's lead was an innocent puppy - while Shishio was a rabid dog that survived being euthanized and went on to start a plague.
The fact that you need 4 of the strongest characters in the series just to stop an injured and time limited Shishio shows that he was indeed the most skilled samurai of the era.
@@yoits_tj1127 kenshin in his battousai the slayer era was unmatched, goat and untouchable, young, lean, peak finesse, no emotions pure killing machine, but if we talk kenshin era he was shell of him peak , but still one of best ever
I finally found it, my favorite part is ofc the choir from 2:30 and the first time I heard it was around 4 years ago in Black Cat anime and I was so enchanted I had to cut the part of the episode that contained it, though now that I find it only plays for a tiny part of the track I wish they extended it. And then this year I finally settled to watch the Kenshin movies and oh boi I was so surprised when I heard this I was like holyshit it's the same track wtf but then I didn't have high hope to find it easily on the net, but now that I heard a split sec of it again in some vid I had to look it up and luckily I ended up here on the second try so thank you for the share ! 😁
Hey I've been on the search for that chant at 2:30 as well, but I'm still wondering where the original came from. It's featured in multiple anime and even a techno song Zhu & nero - Dreams. Anime that I've found it in are, Dragon ball resurrection F with the name Chikyo no Saigo, and of course Black Cat with the chant unnamed. I wonder how old this chant really is
I don't remember hearing it in that movie but I'll take your word for it, based on what you said it's then probable that the chant is recorded as a sample for use in music making softwares, I came across some choirs while testing one last year.
@@eaglenebula2172 Hey thanks for the reply! You're probably right that it's a recorded sample for musicians to use. Now I kind of want to see how many tracks actually feature this chant. Also the track plays when Frieza blows up the earth
Its also in "Assassin's Creed Lineage - Complete Movie" @ ~7:10 and I'm sure i've heard it a long time ago before that so it's most certainly a free source sample everyone can use probably because in the previous decades many many more things were free and done out of love rather than money. I cant be certain but i think i've heard it first in an old game i've played a long time ago. Unfortunatelly i can't remember which. But its clear its from western origins.
Naoki sato also did the soundtrack for Godzilla -1. if you havent seen that movie go and see it. it's by far the best godzilla movie and the soundtrack is amazing. same feeling as the rurouni kenshin movies.
I remember first seeing this. I literally went back so many times that i forgot about watching the whole movie for 2+ hours! >=] Epic and well constructed.
Just watched this movie today. I saw the first one at a con back in ‘13 but I missed the other 2 till I just said fuck it and bought em. Uhhhhh wow... let’s just say, I’m not waiting that long to watch the 3rd one.
Such legends make me wonder what I am doing with my life. Can I really do anything out of the box of the normal consequential life. Would I ever have the resolve. I don't know. I can't even respect them properly.
You hear that track 4 times in both Kyoto Inferno and The Legend Ends. The opening scene and when Kenshin finds out Shishio's actual schemes. In Kenshin 3, when Shishio invites the ministers and during his final duel versus Himura Kenshin
"Do you believe in hell?
Surely a world like this, awash in blood,
deserves the name hell." -Shishio Makoto

If only all anime battles were as greatly translated into live-action as this one...
i know. 20 minute sword fight in the legend ends was too awesome.
It’s easier because they are Samarai other anime’s include bullshit cgi
then world would be perfect

"The strong shall live and the weak shall die!" - Shishio Makoto
It's simple as that.
The definition of strong and weak changes with time, however this saying holds true regardless
それは宗次郎の言葉だ
Shishio makoto was used, then crumpled like a garbage and thrown aside. So respect
his revenge
He is a monster that is a necessary asset for the government and has to be eradicated in order to ensure peace in Japan is achieved.

Which is fitting and ironic considering both characters fight for their lives in a hellish society only to be labeled an enemy and dangerous by their respective Japanese government.
Also Light Yagami in the first Death Note adaptation. I swear, this dude was born for this role from the very start
He also played Okita Souji, the captain of the 1st Shinsengumi squad, in the live action Shinsengumi TV show

Most skilled fighter, yes. But to be a samurai Bushidō is a way of life you have to live by. Imo not a samurai...
@@UninenUivelo true. He was the most skilled swordsman, perhaps.

The anime live action that worked !
Perfeitamente
48 listens over two days and it's still giving me shivers
You could really sense the pain, sorrow and conviction this music told about Shishio and Kenshin 3:00
i love this song..
AlBert Cardenas It's amazing!
me too..
Black shadow you have great taste then buddy..
That scene early in Kenshin PRT2 is just haunting. This soundtrack is epic.
"Was setting me on Fire Politics?"
When u get tired of this world,and nothing to lose...
played this when I got to the shishio fight in the manga as well, gotta say it fits both versions
and to think this guy was killing people with notebooks as a teenager. Shishio has done a lot.
This song is amazing and Makoto shishio is the best villain in the old time on the anime World and love action
4:23 epic and sad

Love Shishio in both anime and movies. He was supreme. Met his English voice over Steve Blum years ago.
Gives me chills. Just got into watching the Rurouni Kenshin movies.

this is my anthem from now on long live shishio..:-P
Haven't expected anything else from the master who also brought the wonderful X 1999 OST!
3:30 epicness starts. pure tragedy.
the tragedy is so evident in this song.
I remember first seeing this. I literally went back so many times that i forgot about watching the whole movie for 2+ hours! >=]
Epic and well constructed.
Call me weird but that best part of the song. I kept on replay during my gym lift sessions😂😂😂❤❤❤
Such a powerful OST I get goosebumps everytime
Wonderfully powerful piece of music.
Such a beautiful music. I really felt it
Finally Battosai! Like old days. You and me, we are dead
Amazing soundtrack but the film and series truly amazing anime comes to life
I return here again. It is a meditative experience.
Shishio wants them to feel what was his feeling that night. No one respect him that night . 4:23
3:20 "Hajime Saito, ¿crees en el infierno?"
The most destructive villain in any universe. Period.
Brutal , el poker de mejores live action de la historia
4:23 favorite part
the world turned him into a monster
I agree to disagree.
Shishio was a nutcase from the beginning. The Meiji just made him worse..
@Mahdi Kassem yeah, well if everyone around betrayed you, it's hard for you to not wanting to destroy the world.
My Hope for the new Revival show is that they give us some Good Music for its soundtrack like this Masterpeice!
Merci Japon...
The best song! Please put on spotify 🙏🏼
Адаптация Шишио Макото в фильме просто бесподобна, смотрел фильмы только из-за него

You get them before they get you that gave me chills right there though
I randomly took a shot on UA-cam to find this not thinking they would have it much to my surprise that I found it without any trouble at all
Do you believe in hell?....Surely a world like this, awash in blood, deserves the name hell. @ 3:27
