Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno (Japanese: るろうに剣心 京都大火編 Hepburn: Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen?) is a 2014 Japanese film directed by Keishi Ōtomo and based on the manga series Rurouni Kenshin. It is one of two sequels to the 2012 film Rurouni Kenshin.
On June 21, 2016, Funimation announced that they acquired the rights to the Rurouni Kenshin live-action trilogy for US distribution.Kyoto Inferno was released subtitled in US theaters in September 2016. A home video and video on demand release followed shortly after.
In Settsu Mine, Hyogo Prefecture, Saitō Hajime leads the Japanese police in tracking Makoto Shishio, a notorious renegade who was betrayed by the government after he had helped them defeat the Tokugawa shogunate during the Battle of Toba-Fushimi. However, Shishio's men massacre through the police, telling Saitō his plan to conquer Japan.
After the events of the first film, Himura Kenshin continues to live in the kendo dojo of Kamiya Kaoru alongside Yahiko Myojin, Sagara Sanosuke, and Takani Megumi. He is called by a government official to track down Shishio, who is terrorizing Kyoto and its surroundings. Though he declines the request at first, he relents when the official is murdered by Seta Sōjirō, Shishio's underling. Just after Kenshin's departure, an individual arrives at Tokyo and searches for him, beating Sanosuke along the way.
