Rurouni Kenshin Merchandise – A Wanderer's Collection
Some protagonists charge into battle. Kenshin would rather not — but will anyway, reverse-blade first, guilt second. Rurouni Kenshin merchandise captures that particular brand of reluctant heroism: a swordsman who swore off killing, wandering through the Meiji era with a sakabatō and enough backstory to fill several therapy sessions. The fan merchandise brings that journey home, one carefully posed figure at a time.
