action
For more than four centuries, the two warring are Shinobi -Familienclans of Iga and Kouga Tsubagakure Manjidani, the powerful Shinobi for daimyo train involved in a bitter feud. In the mountain provinces the warring clans have acquired supernatural skills. In the late 16th century, with the end of the Sengoku period and the establishment of the absolutist Tokugawa rule, a ceasefire was successfully implemented without, however, settling the ever-present hostilities.
Japan in 1614: The mighty Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu , who unites the divided country, is a thorn in the side of the legendary and powerful Shinobi, which he finally wants to get rid of. To this end, ninja leader Hattori Hanzō announces the truce on behalf of his master and plays the clans off against each other by naming five of the best fighters of each clan ( Tsubagakure: Yakushiji Tenzen, Yashamaru, Mino Nenki, Hotarubi, leader: Oboro ; Manjidani: Muroga Hyoma, Chikuma Koshiro, Kagero, Kisaragi Saemon, leader: Gennosuke ) and lets them compete against each other in a bloody and honorable competition for life and death. The leaders Danjo and O-Gen should let their fighters duel. Whoever wins can post a shogun. This endangers the forbidden love of Oboro and Gennosuke, grandsons of the ill-disposed clan heads who dream of a future together. In the end, all but Oboro and Gennosuke die in this fight. When the two then meet, they finally accept their fate of belonging to two warring clans and the fact that their love for one another is hopeless. Oboro tries to use the power of her magical eyes against her lover. When she is unable to do this, however, she lunges at Gennosuke with a sword. However, he does not offer any resistance and dies in the arms of the desperate Oboro. In this way he lets the Tsubagakure clan win. Meanwhile, Tokugawa lets his army go against the ninja villages in order to eliminate their inhabitants. At the same time, Oboro goes to Tokugawa to beg him to spare the clansmen. But this is unreasonable and dismissive. He argues that the ninja warriors are a relic from a warlike era and no longer have a place in a time of peace. He also refers to Oboro's ability to kill people with just one glance of their magical eyes. To prove her desire for peace, Oboro destroys her powerful weapons by stabbing her eyes out. Horrified and touched by the victim of the now blind and completely defenseless Oboro, Tokugawa lets his troops withdraw and orders that the ninja villages should be left unmolested from now on. According to the movie, the descendants of the clans live in peace to this day.
Reviews
The lexicon of international films believes that the film is "based on a popular video game-based mixture of the ' Romeo and Juliet ' material and relevant comic adaptations with questionable political subtexts". It was a “martial arts film that took getting used to”, but was nevertheless “attractive” because of the soulful love story, complex female characters and the rousing staging.
