Manji, a highly skilled samurai, becomes cursed with immortality after a legendary battle. Haunted by the brutal murder of his sister, Manji knows that only fighting evil will regain his soul.

"This isn't a movie that pleases all audiences, but for fans of Asian cinema it is a great option. Based on the homonymous manga, the production mixes humor, blood, action and a revenge story. This is Takashi Miike's one hundredth feature, director of '13 Assassins', who really put a focus on violence and gore."
