About the Piece
This artwork depicts two main characters from the classic anime "Rurouni Kenshin" — Kenshin and Shishio Makoto.

The artwork captures the intense showdown between the two, with the fiery background adding dramatic and urgent elements to the scene.
Creative Inspiration:
"Rurouni Kenshin" has always been one of my favorite animes, with its profound storyline and complex character relationships deeply resonating with me. Kenshin, as a wandering swordsman with a complex past, struggles with inner turmoil and his quest for redemption, something I deeply relate to. Shishio Makoto, as his powerful adversary, is not just a villain but the ultimate challenge to Kenshin's beliefs.
The inspiration for this artwork comes from my understanding and feelings towards the fateful showdown between these two characters. Through this piece, I aim to portray their inescapable confrontation while also paying tribute to the classic series that has influenced countless fans.
