Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning is a 2021 Japanese live-action film based on the manga series of the same name. It is the fifth and final installment of the Rurouni Kenshin film series and serves as a prequel, depicting Himura Kenshin’s origins as the assassin “Hitokiri Battōsai”, while exploring his relationship with the woman named Yukishiro Tomoe.
I highly recommend this movie!
