the ova are 6 episodes describing kenshins past which is very nice and its very accurate according to the other 95 episodes in the rurouni kenshin wondering samari series this gives great insight on why kenshin is how he is in the series and why he refuses to kill anymore and it also shows how he got the famous cross shaped scar on his left cheek it shows you why he was batousi the manslayer and during the series it refers to his past often and without seeing the ova u would be clueless as to why they say this stuff the ova are incredible and show kenshin as the true batousi something you dont get to see in the series ive watched all 95 episodes and believe the ova are a very great way to introduce the series and give great insight into the series that lets you understand alot more of kenshin and why kenshin is aginst killing this is one of the best anime series ive ever seen i love it

How is this ruinning the story, seeing as its his life before the the actual series? The story isn't screwed up at all. Read the manga, it explains more. Tomoe was his first wife, after he defeats Sesseho, he visits a tombstone. Thats tomoe's tombstone. For short...
This is the prequel to the series.

i think she has menopaws XD cause she was pissed then she's like all sad..

i am so confused so this is his past but why couldn't it be in the show... cause this is the revolution right... so gahh im so freaken confused.

this before he became a wanderer the film Samurai X reflection is 15 years after the series this about his past and by the way Kenshin Himura is based on Kawakami Gensai a swordsman from the revolution he got killed before the meji era so he was never a wanderer he was just batousi! he never became a nice guy the people he worked for killed him because he knew too much

NOOOOO DON'T MARRY TOMO!!! MARRY KAORU!!!!
