The beloved anime classic was adapted into a live-action film released in 2012, followed by sequels "Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno" and "Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends" which were released back-to-back two years later.
Warner Bros. rolled out the two final installments of the live-action franchise, "Rurouni Kenshin: The Final" and "Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning" this year.
All five films are available on Netflix.
