The key visual and PV for the second season of the TV anime “Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance-” have been released. The anime is based on the original work by Watsuki Nobuhiro.
The key visual features a fiery design with Himura Kenshin and Soshi Mitsuru facing off against each other. The PV showcases Kenshin’s fighting spirit.
The ending theme artist has been announced as NOMELON NOLEMON. Tsunuki commented, “I drew the shape of ‘thoughts’ as a strong, gentle, and sometimes fleeting ‘moon’ that shines brightly on us.” Mikimariya said, “I was moved by the strong will to fight for someone, and I sang with all my heart, pouring my thoughts into the song.”
Advance screenings of the anime will be held on September 22nd in Tokyo and Kyoto, with a talk event featuring the voice actors. The Tokyo event will be held at TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi, with Soma Saito (Kenshin) and Hino Satoshi (Saito) attending. The Kyoto event will be held at T-Joy Kyoto, with Soma Saito, Yashiro Taku (Sagara), Hino Satoshi, and Yamane Kiyomi (Makimachi) attending. Tickets will be available for advance lottery sales until September 1st, and general sales will begin on September 3rd.
“Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Tale Kyoto Inferno” is a continuation of the new TV anime series that started in July 2023. The second season will shift the stage from Tokyo to Kyoto, depicting Kenshin’s new encounters and fierce battles with the Soshi faction.

Tsunuki Comment
The song is inspired by the sparkle of the moon’s light on the water’s surface, which seems to continue all the way to the sky.
The true strength depicted in “Rurouni Kenshin” is not just about technique or physical power, but about the “thoughts” that drive us. I feel that this is true not just for Kenshin, but for all the characters. This time, I drew the shape of those “thoughts” as a strong, gentle, and sometimes fleeting “moon” that shines brightly on us. I hope you can listen to the song with your heart, and not just your ears.

I am honored to be involved in a work that has been loved by so many people for so long.
I was moved by the strong will to fight for someone, and I sang with all my heart, pouring my thoughts into the song. I hope this song can reach you, along with the work of “Rurouni Kenshin”.
