Novel
El samurái Ryonosuke siente una insana fascinación por el poder mortal de su katana y va por la vida acumulando cadáveres, con o sin motivo. Eventualmente lo contratan como mercenario, pero incluso cuando está sin trabajo, no tiene inconveniente alguno en matar por puro placer.
Novel
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.

Novel
Master swordsman, Tsukue Ryunosuke is confronted by the families of his victims. Will justice be served for the lost innocent lives? The conclusion of the famed Jidaigeki series is an amazing film, with a completely different perspective on the story from the later versions. While the international audience is more familiar with the “Sword of Doom” and “Satan’s Sword” versions of Daibosatsu Toge (The Great Bodhisattva Pass), the “Souls in the Moonlight” trilogy casts an entirely different light on Ryunosuke and his motives. Can this brutal killer be brought to justice, or is living his life as a blind wanderer a more terrible fate? His sword skills have not diminished, nor has his desire to kill!
Novel
This is the second installment of the trilogy based on Japan’s greatest novel “The Great Bodhisattva Pass”, following the life and times of bloodthirsty samurai, Tsukue Ryunosuke. Blinded in an explosion and further injured from a fall, the master swordsman is taken in by Otoyo, a woman who falls in love with him. Under Otoyo’s dedicated care, Ryunosuke’s physical and emotional wounds seem to heal. However, deep inside, the demons that drive him to kill yearn to resurface. Meanwhile he is being pursued by Utsugi Hyoma, a young samurai seeking to avenge his brother’s death at Tsukue’s hands. Hyoma is being aided along the way by the clever thief Shichibei.
Novel
First part of the famous Dai-bosatsu toge trilogy, based on Kaizan Nakazato’s unfinished long series of novels (41 books, written from 1913 to 1941). Set in the last period of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Daibosatsu Toge tells the story of Tsuke Ryunosuke, a nihilistic swordmaster who doesnt hesitate to kill anyone, bad or good.
