Fantastic movie! A1 Animation!

Villain abilities were unique and the fight scenes were flawless.

One of the last Manga's I watched before I grew outta them sh!ts.

Opened the door for a lot of other work to follow through.


Dakuan is the archetype for characters that came later, like Nicotine in Samurai Shodown II and Okina in The Last Blade. Kagero is the precursor for Taki in the Soul Calibur series. Jubei is in damn near everything as the lone wandering swordsman archetype.

Now that I think about it, Bushizo is a base template for Shino from Naruto.

Classic. Somebody gotta be blatantly trolling to say otherwise. Which, wisely, no one has done in this thread.

Watched it when I was in high school, around '95. Can't even really say we were anime fans, but this, "Wicked City", "Fist Of The North Star", and a couple others...."Akira", obviously....had us in a head lock.

EDIT:

And I still got the bootleg on VHS.
