Undeterred by the rain, 1,200 fans gathered for the "Rurouni Kenshin" movie completion event.

The completion event for Warner Bros. Pictures' "Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno / The Legend Ends" was held on June 5 at Roppongi Hills Arena Plaza in Minato Ward, Tokyo.

The original manga "Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan" is an immensely popular series with over 58 million copies sold. Its first live-action adaptation in 2012 became a hit, grossing over 3 billion yen. Overseas offers flooded in, leading to distribution in 64 countries and screenings at 31 international film festivals. This time, two sequels serving as the series finale will be released consecutively. (The Great Kyoto Inferno: Released August 1 / The Legend's Final Chapter: Released September 13)

As 1,200 invited guests awaited, the venue erupted in loud cheers when lead actors Takeru Satoh and Emi Takei, along with six others and director Keishi Otomo, arrived by car. The nine walked the red carpet, interacting with fans by signing autographs, shaking hands, and posing for photos.

Joining Sato and Takei on stage were fellow cast members Yusuke Iseya, Takashi Aoki, Yu Aoi, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Yosuke Eguchi, and Tatsuya Fujiwara, along with director Otomo. The nine shared their experiences of the grueling shoot, their affection for the project, and their joy at its completion. The film is a major action production with a budget of 3 billion yen, a six-month shoot, and over 5,000 extras, featuring nationwide location filming. Sato expressed confidence, stating, "I want people to experience a moment that changes the history of Japanese cinema."
