In _Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan_ episode 5, they mention people
fought to end the 4 social classes that existed in Japan, so all people would
be equal. This is apparently a re-make of the 90's series; also there was a
manga, OVAs, an animated movie, live action movies, etc. so I suppose anywhere
it was mentioned. Also this might be what historically happened in Japan or
not, since certain ideas are historically accurate, and others aren't or are
loosely based. I suppose 2 of the social classes were farmer and samurai, but
not sure which would be the others.

Which were the 4 social classes mentioned in Rurouni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku
Romantan episode 5?

The four classes in feudal Japan were:

  1. samurai
  2. farmers
  3. artisans
  4. merchants

These were legal classifications; the emperor and his court were above them,
and the _burakumin_ , including professions such as actor or butcher, were
below it.
