Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell
Directed by Yoshiyuki Kuroda
Produced by Katsu Production, TOHO
A brutal, blood-soaked samurai revenge saga where a lone assassin faces the full wrath of a decimated clan, steeped in Edo-period fatalism and visual stylization.
With most of his family already dead at Ogami Itto's hands, Retsudo launches one final plot to destroy him, and when that fails, unleashes the fury of every remaining member of the Yagyu clan.
