Summary: Let the final battle commence
Review: this DVD has the best fight and lots of cliffhangers (Kenshin dies err sorta)

its also kinda sad, but very full of action, to say more would really spoil 90% of the DVD

Get it, this is the last DVD of the Kyoto arc (and as some say the last good DVD, I'll judge that after I watch the Shimbara Arc)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best DVD of the Kyoto Saga
Review: This is A "must have item" for all Rurouni Kenshin Fans. It has geat action scenes, suprising twists, and a killer ending.

Summary: Best One of the Series
Review: This is absolutely the best DVD of the series. Not only does it provide the ending to the Kyoto arc, it leaves you with a great feeling. There really isn't a cliff-hanger, which is nice, and out of all the DVDs, Fire Requiem has the BEST outtake reel. It is simply hilarious.

If you're looking for a feel-good ending to a story line, this is the best way to go.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shishio vs. Kenshin, Saito, Sanosuke, and Aoshi...FIGHT!!
Review: This is the DVD that no one should miss. The end of the Kyoto Saga is near, but how will Kenshin and the others do against Shishio. No more laughs...this DVD is filled with 100% action. It contains episodes 58-62...so will Kenshin put his "no-kill" beliefs aside or will find a way to defeat Shishio without having to kill him?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Barely A Five Star Effort...More Like 4 and a Half
Review: This is the so-called "closure disc" to the excellent Kyoto Arc of the Rurouni Kenshin series. To recap, Kenshin's replacement from the Bakumatsu has come back from near death to try and return a now peaceful Japan once again to a state of chaos much like during the Bakumatsu. An already weakened Kenshin now has to face his successor, who has been given a special parting gift by his right hand man: the secret to Kenshin's Ama Kakeru Ryu No Hirameki final move.

And that's all this disc really is, closure. The best fights of the series have already taken place (the two Kenshin/Aoshi fights; the Kenshin/Cho fight; the Kenshin/Soujiro fight, and the best of all, the Kenshin/Saitoh fight). Still, the Hitokiri Battousai does have some moves left up his sleeve that we haven't seen yet, and that make this disc worth watching. About 60 percent of the show, however, is taken up by long speeches by Shishio (about why his plan must take place and is right) and from Kenshin (about why Shishio's vision for his Kunitori to take place is clouded). The fights are quick and almost anti-climactic to the long stares, speeches and analysis by the remaining spectators.

There are some definite cool shots in this; the screen splits into long, cross-wise screens that move toward Kenshin and Shishio to build up tension.

A disc that highlights what is good and bad about Rurouni Kenshin: great buildups of tension and clever, dramatic, tragic sword strategies versus the long speeches, long stare-downs and buildups ala Dragonball Z. The final fight doesn't even rank in terms of the best of the series, but it still holds its own. Pretty much, you can't not buy it cause you need to know how the Kyoto arc concludes, but not a recommended buy by itself, or as a first disc for a newcomer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everybody loves "Kenshin"
Review: This volume will take you by the neck and drag you cheering for joy and screaming in terror... I can recall hiding behind my boyfriend the first time I saw the episodes on this volume. Climactic battles never looked so good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see for all Kenshin fans
Review: Througout the second season I really became obsessed and couldn't wait to see more. When it finally got to this point I pretty much dropped everything to watch it. You finally get to see Shishio and Kenshin square off. With Shishio being the biggest threat to Japan and to Kenshin, you can't help but want to see the action of the fight, the emotions of those waiting for Kenshin and the others, plus Kenshins true character showing all of us why the series in general is worth watching.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great end to a great story
Review: when i watched samurai X it was the best iv'e seen in animated violence i was so impressed i went out and started on the tv series at first i was a little dissapointed in the lack of intensity that was in samurai x's fight scenes however the story kept me moving through the series watsuki wrote a great story and though the fight scene in the dojo with kensin and saito was my favourite fire requiem was a great end to the kyoto saga and anyone who says it's bad, what do they know !!! they can't appreciate a good story so just ignore them
