Resurrection of the Wolf is the 22nd episode of the Rurouni Kenshin 2023 anime adaptation.

Synopsis[]

On a spring day Kenshin daydreams quite a lot of his old Bakumatsu days in Kyōto when he was fighting the Shinsengumi, and that kinda worries him. While the Kenshingumi is away from the Kamiya Dōjō eating, a mysterious man goes to the Dōjō looking for Kenshin, but only fights Sanosuke. They fight, and Sanosuke is badly injured. When the Kenshingumi returns, they treat Sanosuke while Kenshin inspects the Dōjō and suspects of Saitō Hajime, a Shinsengumi captain. Who is this figure from the past that aims at attacking Kenshin? Is the Kamiya Dōjō and its inhabitants in danger from unknown enemies?
