What a time, the DVD's advent brings me a colorful world through the worldwide cinema, especially Japanese movies weren't allowed in Brazil, just few top-notch director as Kurosawa, currently finally comes a bunch of them, this movie belongs a chambara genre, directed by the famous Samurai's picture expert Hideo Gosha, utterly compelling whereof later was the forerunner the famous series Lone Wolf and Cub.
Everything starts with a frisky Ronin Kiba Ôkaminosuki (Isao Natsuyagi) at small village's Inn eating frantically that seems didn't eat anything for weeks or so, after satisfy hunger, he warns that there isn't a penny to pay, but is available to work to pay the bill.

It quite sure is firmly swayed by Leone's spaghetti westerns and American either, mainly in the main character, the Samurai Wolf looks like laid-back and unattached guy, a lone wandering figure, these resemblances are so strong enough to link each other, later this picture gets a sequel.
