EPISODE CONTEXT
As the series premiere of a 24-episode season, this episode exists purely to lay groundwork — introducing Kenshin, Kaoru, and the thematic pillars of redemption and societal transformation that will drive every arc to come. There's no preceding episode to build from, so the focus is entirely on first impressions and establishing tone. Episode 2, 'Tokyo Samurai - Yahiko Myojin,' immediately begins expanding the core cast and deepening the Meiji-era dynamics introduced here.
