Rurouni Kenshin Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story - Makoto Shishio figure, Ichibansho

Makoto Shishio is one of the most fearsome antagonists in Rurouni Kenshin. The successor to Kenshin Himura as the government’s assassin during the Bakumatsu era, he was betrayed and burned alive by his employers, who feared his growing power. Against all odds, Shishio survived and vowed revenge against the Meiji government, advocating a philosophy where only the strongest should rule. His overwhelming strength, supernatural endurance, and deadly Mugenjin sword—capable of igniting his enemies—make him an almost unstoppable foe.

The world of Rurouni Kenshin portrays a time of transition where the honor of samurai is tested by Japan’s modernization. Shishio embodies the brutality of a ruthless world, where only the law of the strongest prevails. His epic battle against Kenshin is one of the series’ most unforgettable moments, pitting two opposing views of combat and justice against each other.

This Ichibansho figure of Makoto Shishio, produced by Banpresto, perfectly captures the dark power of this character. Standing approximately 25 cm tall, he is depicted in a commanding stance, katana in hand, wrapped in his signature bandages, with dynamic effects emphasizing his infernal nature. His flowing purple kimono and tattered bandages add a dramatic touch to his menacing presence. Crafted in high-quality PVC with exceptional detailing, this figure is a must-have for Rurouni Kenshin fans and collectors who appreciate iconic villains.
