Known for its beautiful cinematography and impressive, often brutal, action sequences, the SATAN’S SWORD TRILOGY is a meditation on violence
and revenge, karma and spirituality.
Set in the last period of the Tokugawa Shogunate, SATAN’S SWORD tells the story of Tsuke Ryunosuke, a nihilistic swordmaster who doesn''t
hesitate to kill anyone, bad or good.
Picking up in the aftermath of the first instalment, SATAN’S SWORD II: THE DRAGON GOD sees the decline and unraveling of Ryunosuke Tsukue
and wider politics of 1860s Japan.
Disguised as a beggar monk, Ryunosuke is harassed along the road by the rowdy students malingering outside their fencing hall. SATAN’S SWORD
III: THE FINAL CHAPTER is the final violent confrontation the trilogy has been building towards.
