Yagyû ichizoku no inbô (1978)
The Yagyu Clan
This is a movie I have wanted to see for a long time. It is interesting and different. The story is really historically inaccurate, but for the sake of movies, it was exciting. This story is mainly about Jubei Yagyu, my favorite samurai. It shows him as he was, the black sheep of the Yagyu clan, but despite it, he still came to his family's aid providing the assistance they needed in the form of his most beloved people, the Negoro. While the story barely features Jubei, the entirety of the story is decided by him when the greed of his family becomes too much. Although some of the acting is a bit cheesie on Sonny Chiba's part, only when he is sad, this is a very good movie. For any of you samurai fans, I recommend this with the utmost care. For those of you who do not understand how to appreciate this movie, I am not so sure you'd enjoy it.
Onimusha 2 (2002)
Dare-devil warrior
Onimusha 2 is not a bad game, it is very well made and the late Yusaku Matsuda as Jubei looks well done. The inclusion of friends puts to shame the solitude of Onimusha 3, and adds relief to the already tense plot. The story is well done, and this game does not suffer from bad sequel syndrome. Why do I mention that? Well, some people thought spamming the same message that said this game was bad would give them some sort of ego boost to their Samanosuke Fanboy-hood. The gameplay is limited to the D-Pad, buttons, and the R1/R2,L1/L2. I've had this game for well over two years, and I still enjoy it. It offers various side-stories and gives a dark tone to a dark game. No more, "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you." crap that came about with Samanosuke. No, this samurai is out for revenge, and you will see him suffer despite his victory(spoiler? Well, you'd expect there to be a victory since Onimusha 3 came out.) I give this game a 9/10. The only problem was that some of the voice acting was a problem, I still enjoyed the voices, but they could have been done better. Go now and play this game, unless you cross me worse then death!
