The Koga Ninja Team is sent to investigate a mysterious epidemic in the village of Shimoda. It turns out that the Devils of Kimon have sabotaged the water supply to kill off all the villagers and have the freedom to search for stolen gold that was hidden in the town. At one time, the Shogun of the Dark had planned to use this treasure to return the House of Toyotomi to Power. Then, the evil Gemma took it from him in hopes of creating a group of ninjas who would rule by terror. But when the ship carrying the gold got caught in a storm, somehow the precious cargo got lost... Who will find it first... the Koga Ninjas or Gemma? (official distributor synopsis)

Charismatic main hero, attractive female character, unpredictable guide, and above all, spectacular chases and battles with mythical enemies. However, Jubei doesn't offer us anything more, even less so an iconic masterpiece that should rank dangerously close to the top of anime cults. Although I happily immersed myself in the atmosphere, I miss some emotions, something tangible enough to make Ninja Scroll an unforgettable spectacle. And the agonizing confessions of feelings after a day spent together don't suffice for that. 75%
