Sword for Truth

1990 · 49 min

A grim, blood-soaked samurai action piece that moves fast through stylish, moody violence with little warmth to hold onto.

Because of his exceptional swordsmanship, Shurannosuke is hired by the Nakura Clan to rescue Princess Mayu from the Seki Ninja. In this mission, he must use his full potential to survive the Seki Ninja's notorious henchmen.
