Rurouni Kenshin Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Sanosuke Sagara — Sanosuke's zanbatō is described as having no edge and only used to smash and crush opponents, but in canon it does have an edge.

Sanosuke Sagara — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states Sanosuke is based on a real Shinsengumi member named Harada Sanosuke, but Watsuki has stated this is not the case.

Enishi's Followers — The entry states 'Enishi gathered his followers while still in good health.' In canon, Enishi was already suffering from the effects of his drug use (opium) during the time he was gathering his followers, so 'in good health' is inaccurate.

Enishi's Followers — The entry claims 'They utilize modern weaponry alongside traditional swords.' In the manga, Enishi's followers primarily use traditional swords and martial arts; only a few characters (like Gein) use unconventional weapons, but 'modern weaponry' (e.g., firearm

Kamiya Dojo — Kenshin gives his reverse-blade sword to Yahiko as a gift, but it is not a ceremonial gift; it is a practical bequest, and Yahiko later uses it. Additionally, Kenshin does not give it at the very end of the Jinchū arc; he gives it to Yahiko during the epilogue

Himura Kenshin — The entry states Kenshin fought in the Boshin War as a combatant in the Sekihō Army before he stopped killing. In canon, Kenshin was a member of the Sekihō Army but did not fight in the Boshin War as a combatant; he was present but did not participate in comba

Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal — The entry states that Tomoe's former fiancé sent assassins, but in canon, her fiancé was dead and the assassins were sent by the Shinsengumi and others.

Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal — The entry claims Tomoe was manipulated into betraying Kenshin by her fiancé's assassins, but in canon she was manipulated by the Shinsengumi as a spy.

Saito Hajime's Introduction — Saitō ranked third, not second, in the 'Favorite Character Now' poll from the official Rurouni Kenshin anime.

Kyoto Arc — The entry states the decisive battle unfolds on a beach near the coast of Kyoto, but in the canon, the final battle takes place on a ship (the Rengoku) and then on a beach near the coast of Yokohama, not Kyoto.
