Satan's Sword Trilogy Blu-ray Box Set Limited Collector's Edition

Set in the last period of the Tokugawa Shogunate, SATAN’S SWORD tells the story of Tsuke Ryunosuke, a nihilistic swordmaster who doesn''t hesitate to kill anyone, bad or good.
Picking up in the aftermath of the first instalment, SATAN’S SWORD II: THE DRAGON GOD sees the decline and unraveling of Ryunosuke Tsukue and wider politics of 1860s Japan.
Disguised as a beggar monk, Ryunosuke is harassed along the road by the rowdy students malingering outside their fencing hall. SATAN’S SWORD III: THE FINAL CHAPTER is the final violent confrontation the trilogy has been building towards.
