* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Enishi is forced to realize this when he is given his sister's diary in prison and reads her last entry, which reveals that she intended to protect Kenshin from the men plotting his death, and fully accepted that she might die as a direct result. As such, Enishi had spent his entire life seeking revenge for someone who didn't want it.]]

** The battle sequences during Enishi's terror attack on the town [[spoiler:is completely chopped in half, with Kaoru's and Yahiko's part completely absent. Instead, Aoshi takes the brunt of the battle in their stead.]]
** The mini-arc of Yahiko's growth [[spoiler:is also missing, though it's realistically replaced by his frustrated figure at his constant uselessness, in contrast to his AdaptationalBadass self in ''Kyoto Inferno''.]]



** Enishi. [[spoiler: Despite having the same savageness and brutality as the original, he only fought Kenshin once and didn't defeat him. He only won when Kenshin lets Enishi stab him just to prove the point that revenge was meaningless]].

He only won when Kenshin lets Enishi stab him just to prove the point that revenge was meaningless]]. A bit of AdaptationDistillation is also at play, since his enhanced senses are never fully explored/explained here. Without it, Kenshin definitely has the upper hand, [[spoiler:and didn't even have to resort to either Ryūmeisen or Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki's second phase to completely beat him down.]]



* BilingualBonus: For those of you who speaks Chinese, the interpreter from the start of the movie, as well as Heishin's (and some of Enishi's) conversations are done in actual, legible Chinese with varying thickness of accents.
* CallBack: To ''Kyoto Inferno''. [[spoiler:This time, ''Kenshin'' was the one to slash his opponent's (Enishi) sword in half.]]
** [[spoiler:Saito's poor, poor men also gets roasted in a fiery trap here.]]



* LightningBruiser: As typical with the ''Rurouni Kenshin'' film series' main antagonists, Enishi is clearly this.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer shows [[spoiler: Sojiro teaming up with Kenshin in dealing with Enishi's men, since Sojirou ended up like Kenshin after his defeat in the previous movie]].

** Also a touch of FridgeLogic: [[spoiler:Enishi is at a severe disadvantage here in the final fight because he literally has no data how the current Kenshin actually fights, much like Shishio not knowing Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki from ''Kyoto Inferno''. Thus, Kenshin is actually rather comfortable in their duel instead of getting constantly pressured like in the manga.]]

* TropicalIslandAdventure: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] Instead of battling on Enishi's private island's beach, [[spoiler:the final duel occurs inside his lavish mansion instead, with no indication it's even on an island if a viewer doesn't watch a previous part.]]

Rurouni Kenshin: The Final (Japanese: るろうに剣心 最終章 The Final, Hepburn: Rurouni Kenshin: Saishūshō – Za Fainaru) is a 2021 Japanese live-action film directed Keishi Ōtomo. It is based on the final arc of the ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' manga series by Nobuhiro Watsuki, [[AdaptationDistillation but its story differs from the original]]. The film focuses on the pacifist wanderer Himura Kenshin (played by [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Takeru Satoh]]) who is brought on a fight involving revenge by Yukishiro Enishi (played by [[Manga/{{Chihayafuru}} Mackenyu Arata]]). It is the fourth installment in the Rurouni Kenshin film series, following Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends, and was followed by a fifth and final entry, Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning. Both films serve as the final chapters of the Live-Action film series.

!! This film provides examples of:
* AdaptedOut: [[spoiler: Enishi using a puppet as a fake corpse of Kaoru to make Kenshin angry]] was fortunately cut off here. Instead, [[spoiler: it was replaced with Heishin taking Kaori hostage only to be stopped by Enishi]].
* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler: Misao managed to defeat one of the Six Comrades (Mumyoi) and performs her version of Kaiten Kenbu Rokuen]].
* AdaptationDistillation: While the film follows the manga's plot, there are moments that are either cut out or changed in order to fit the whole plot into 2 hours and 20 minutes:
** [[In the Manga, Mumyoi was defeated by Saitou. While in the film, Misao defeats him]].
** [[In the Manga, Hyoko's final fate was when he was so scared of Kenshin that he doesn't pay enough attention to Yahiko and ends up on the wrong end of his Hawatari. Here, he tried to [[TakingYouWithMe blow up Kenshin alongside him]] but he managed to escape even though he was affected by the aftermath]].
