Everything about Rurouni Kenshin totally explained
OVAs
The OVA series, which features a number of historical characters, attempts to be more realistic and accurate than the TV series. The OVA made use of live footage spliced with animation cells giving the series a different feel than straight animation. Both OVAs were re-released internationally in "Director's Cut" forms that spliced the separate "episodes" together into continuous movies, as well as adding some extra footage. The order of musical cues in both director's cut OVAs were significantly lessened and altered, although the tracks themselves were not altered or omitted.
The first OVA series,
Samurai X: Trust and
Samurai X: Betrayal, collectively known in Japan as and later edited into a movie as
Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal -Director's Cut, was set during the downfall of the
Tokugawa shogunate and telling of Kenshin's childhood. Only a few characters from the TV series appear in this OVA. The OVA mainly depicts the life of Kenshin as
Battōsai and his time with his first wife, Tomoe.
The second OVA series
Samurai X: Reflection, known in Japan as and later edited into a movie as
Samurai X: Reflection -Director's Cut. It was set both during and after the timeline of the series and tells of Kenshin and Kaoru's later years, much of which isn't derived from the manga. It also differs from the manga on some points, such as details in regard to the Jin-e and Enishi fights. The OVA is seen as a montage of singular events surrounding the life of Kenshin, told from the point of view of Kaoru.
