Schlocky historical sci-fi gorefest. The stupidest ninja clans fight the most immortal-est ninja-killing cyborg. They just keep trying to kill him with escalating plots that never work! And they keep saying โthe immortal ninja-killer must be dead, only an immortal could survive thatโ and then he comes out unscathed and says โha-ha! I'm the immortal ninja-killer!โ The art occasionally has its charms, like Ginnai's night castle or Nagatoji's flashback to the destruction of his village. Unfortunately, the characters are one-note at best and the story discards them like crumbs with every death.
