As a recovering alcoholic, who struggled with addiction for over a decade, for some reason him losing his woman in the end reminding me of how I lost mine due to addiction, even though she did everything to try to make it work. Seeing this movie was one of the defining points that made me want to quit for good. This song will forever have a special place in my heart. It just goes to show, we never know completely what kind of impact the art we create will have on others. Thank you so much for uploading.

Respectfully,
Lupe

I've seen a lot of anime. Old and new. But still, nothing can compare to Trust and betrayal. the best ova. Truly a MASTERPIECE.

"Death no longer terrifies men. The smell of blood is as common as the smell of white plums, so he creates slavery and savagery which surpasses the horrors of dying. These can only be fought with more bloodshed and the cycle never ends. My sword is guided by the reasoning of Hiten Mitsurugi, but when all is said, a sword is a tool for destruction not salvation. The only way I can retain my humanity is to bury its victims.” - Seijuro Hiko

"No matter how much you hurt inside, the dead can never return."

It’s been almost 20 years and this song still sends shivers downs my spine and takes me back.

"Tell me your name."
"Shinta"
"A Child's name; too soft for a swordsman. From this day on, you are Kenshin."
"Ken...shin."

Tomoe's death lead to the wonderful, loving wanderer we all came to know and love. Rurouni Kenshin will forever remain in my top 10 anime of all time based on the OVA's and manga alone.

[jeriel]

Tomoe who sought for her dead fiance's revenge, ended up loving that same murderer. She must have felt so conflicted inside, having to bear with the pensive sadness of losing her loved one, to suddenly loving that murderer, I personally cannot imagine how much pain she must have went through.

[Edgelon]

Easily one of the greatest musical creations I’ve bore witness to.

Feels good knowing I’m not the only one that comes back here from time to time, Trust & Betrayal is so underrated….

[drjuancruz]

I watched this OVA during very hard times for me. I feelt way better, with hope, strong enough to fight my inner demons.

Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and betrayal is a masterpiece and one of the best. I love this anime. If you have not watch this one yet or know someone who hasn't, I highly recommend check this anime out.

Rurouni Kenshin story was actually based on the history of Kawakami Gensai (1834-1872). He was one of the four most notable assassins aka hitokiri battousai of the Bakumatsu period. Hiten mitsurugi ryu technique created by Seijuro Hiko in Rurouni Kenshin was also the same as the technique owned by Kawakami Gensai, where he leaned on the right leg and lowered the other leg with knee almost touched the ground. When I watched Samurai X first time in 1996, I knew this anime must have a historical story behind it, not only an anime.

[VoodooLegacy]

A pure innocent soul going through internal and external struggles in a chaotic time. Scarred, but he finds a way to live on. A love story. A heart wrenching tragedy. It is a story that I come back to again and again.

[beginnersluck]

i remember watching this epic anime with my brother he buy it and insist me to watch with him, i fell in love with this anime to kenshin, one day his friend borrow it from him, i desperately want to watch it again so i did buy cd again for myself i keep it and never let anyone borrow it its a masterpiece this will be my forever no.1 anime and also the soundtrack is so amazing, i remember recording it with my cellphone and memorized and mimic the words in every scene oh god time flies im so innocent and commited back then, thank you to whoever made this ova and anime long live!

[Kibira]

"But master! The teachings of hiten-mitsurugi are fruitless unless they are used to help the defenseless!"

This anime hit differently.

[FabledHeroes]

This hits so damned hard especially when you take into consideration all that Kenshin has been through and yet he still became a better person in-spite of it all

[dtlegacy]

This music is sad and tragic but also very beautiful at the same time.

[GuSkywalker_X]

My first contact with Rurouni Kenshin was in 2020 in a difficult time of pandemic in which I lost many close family members, it may be a silly thing to say to strangers but I truly believe that this anime plus the OVAs and the melody of sadness and hope by Taku Iwasaki shaped me to be a better person in this cruel world. I dedicate these words to Kenshin, our dear Samurai X, may the force be with you always!

[lewisheinrich]

Part of me died the day I first watched this OVA.
