The season establishes the Meiji-era setting, Kenshin's vow of non-killing, and his new life in Tokyo where he becomes involved with Kaoru Kamiya, her dojo, and other allies like Sanosuke and Yahiko. The season blends action, character development, and some filler episodes as it builds the world and introduces both episodic and lasting antagonists, such as the Oniwabanshū leader, Shinomori Aoshi.
