[edit] Primer
On April 14, 2007, ABS-CBN will broadcast a TV special about how Rounin was made and conceptualized.
[edit] Production
People behind this series started conceptualizing the story of Rounin from October to November of 2005 and it took them one and a half years to complete it. Searching for good location took them months until they finally found a 44-hectare abandoned cement factory in Binangonan, Rizal, and took two months to complete the cities of Helion, Lumeria, Vesta, Argos and Icarra. All of the cast went under three months of training martial arts like, capoeira, muay thai, judo, kali, arnis and wushu.[5]
