Podríamos quejarnos de que Kenji Misumi repite desarrollo en la segunda y la tercera parte de “Satan´s Sword”. Sin embargo es una cuestión solo apreciable desde el punto de vista de aquel que lee la sinopsis. En lo que respecta a la película, cada una de ellas se ve respaldada por elementos secundarios que la diferencian completamente de las otras. Precisamente es el hecho de repetición argumental centrada en la persecución de Hyoma buscando venganza, lo que hace que se debilite ese deseo. Él mismo comienza a tomárselo como una costumbre, llegando a olvidar incluso por qué lo hace. Su lucha interna solo se decidirá al llegar el final del film.

Clothes of Deception initiated Yoshimura’s most characteristic vein. This geisha story is often described as a loose remake of Mizoguchi’s pre-war masterpiece Sisters of Gion (1936), but this is inexact. Whereas in Mizoguchi’s study of two sisters, both women had been geisha, in Yoshimura’s film only Kimicho (Kyo Machiko) is, while her sister works in the Kyoto tourist office. Juxtaposing a traditional Kyoto profession with a modern one, Yoshimura shows how life in the old capital was changing in the wake of wider transformations in Japanese society.
