A new listing in the “New & Popular” section of the Netflix application has revealed that Ruroruni Kenshin (2023) will become available to stream on 4th February 2025 in the UK.
This version of Ruroruni Kenshin is the second anime adaptation of the manga, as the original anime series was released back in the 90s, and gives the samurai story a more modern animation style. This version of the series originally began broadcasting (and simulcast streaming) in 2023, and a second season (known as Kyoto Disturbance) is currently being simulcast streamed on Crunchyroll.
Synopsis: During the upheaval of the Bakumatsu Era, there was an Imperialist warrior feared as the “Hitokiri Battosai.” However, upon the arrival of the new era the Battosai disappeared from the public eye, leaving behind just his legend of the strongest Revolutionary warrior.
It’s expected that all 24 episodes of the first season of Ruroruni Kenshin (2023) will become available in dubbed and subbed formats on Netflix UK, but we won’t know for certain until it gets added to the streaming platform on 4th February 2025. In the meantime Ruroruni Kenshin (2023) is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll in the UK.
