"If you thought Luke Skywalker going back to Yoda to complete his Jedi training was cool, keep your panties on! Because this part of the Rurouni Kenshin series has evolved to become maybe my favorite part! Yes even over Shadow of the Wolf, Blind Justice, Innocence and Experience, and Fire Requiem! This disc contains the return of Hiko, Sejuro, only the coolest character in this series!! Also in this disc you will learn what it takes to pass on the Hiten Mitsurugi Technique from master to apprentice, and why there can only be one successor! When are they going to release a series based on his Hiko's past exploits?? CUMMON MANGA KA! YOU MUST CREATE SOMETHING ABOUT THE PAST OF HIKO SEJURO...and maybe the later adventures of SOJIRO (when he leaves shishio's juppon gatana)!"
The best part of Kenshin

"If you are looking for the darkness of Rurouni Kenshin's OVAs (Samurai X by ADV) then the series nor the movie will have it; however, Kenshin's battle with Shishio is about the most exciting part of the entire series which spans 90+ episodes. Composing of a good portion of the episodes (i forgot exactly how many), Kenshin's battle with Shishio begunning with the "Shadow of the Wolf" and is continued through this DVD, is awesome. It is definitly worth seeing, and the only part i suggest WORTH collecting, but you will not have some of the background of the characters that Kenshin meet during the series such as Sanosuke, Anji, and the rest. So, to get a good view, watch some of the first three DVDs to get a general background on everything and you should be good to go."
Legend Of Hiko Sounds Good....

"This DVD features the ending of the battle against Chou, Kenshin gets a new sakubatou and proceedes to his master's hut in the mountains, here he begs his master to train him in the final secrets, and reunites with Kaoru and Yahiko Hiko finally agrees and Kenshin's training completes after a few episodes of Hiko yelling at him, the last episode is a bit of a cliffhanger when Kenshin masters the final attackKenshin's past is dug into a bit, but if you have watched the Rurouni Kenshin OVA (Samurai X Trust and Betrayal) you will notice ALOT of differences, personnaly I think that both stories are good(the OVA one was a bit short)Overall if you're this far, don't stop, it gets better"
