Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal

Under a cold, moonlit sky, a boy named Shinta watches the brutal end of the bandits who once kept him in chains. The swordsman who saves him gives him a new name—Kenshin Himura—and sets him on a path toward the blade. Though Kenshin’s gentle nature seems ill-suited to violence, his resolve to shield the innocent never wavers.

*Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal* traces Kenshin’s beginnings long before his vow to never kill, revealing how he came to be known as the feared Hitokiri Battousai. As Japan’s future hangs in the balance, Kenshin is pulled between ideals of justice and the corruption surrounding him, with every choice shaping both his own fate and that of the nation.
