1. Kenshin Himura 090 (SR***) & (SR**)
As the ultimate grail of the whole set, the 3 Star version comes with an exclusive foil stamped voice actor signature and gorgeous Hiten Mitsurugi ryu artwork. His signature move pushes defeated foes back to the energy line instead of the sideline, throwing a wrench in the opponent’s entire game plan.
The mechanics in this set really capture each fighter’s style, from Kenshin’s clever energy line pushback to Saito’s precise sniping tricks. Big hitters like Seijuro Hiko steal the show too, with the power to scale all the way up to 8000 BP mid battle. Signature cards signed by voice actors Soma Saito and Rie Takahashi are the real prizes for collectors chasing something special. All in all, this set mixes smart deck building strategy with a big dose of nostalgia for any Rurouni Kenshin fan.
