One of the three ninja clans serving as internal security within Edo Castle is sabotaging the lord’s every attempt to sire an heir, and it’s up to roguish, loose-cannon, former Yagyu-shinkage anti-shinobi freelancer Tomo Shiinoda to get to the bottom of it all. Armed with a sword that vibrates whenever a ninja power is used, Tomo is knee-deep in Iga, Koga and Negoro ninja — both male and female — and assailed by outré shadow skills like body swapping, poison blood rays, and transforming courtesans into half fish-women. And when he meets his match in the form of whip-wielding kunoichi femme-fatale Kageroi, a deadly romance blooms. Noribumi Suzuki, a 'Pinky violence' legend, mixes playful eroticism with ninja mysticism and realistic fight scenes. The film features stunning cinematography and a haunting score, along with quirky characters, and is based on a novel by the renowned ninja author, Yamada Futaro.VIDEO: Color / AVC h.264 / 1080p / 16:9 Enhanced / 2.35:1 / WidescreenAUDIO: Japanese: AC-3 2.0 MonoSUBTITLES: Removable English SubtitlesFEATURES: Interactive Menu, Previews
