Blade of the Immortal follows Manji, a cursed immortal samurai haunted by his sister's murder. Driven by a vow to combat evil and reclaim his soul, Manji partners with Rin Asano, a determined young girl seeking vengeance against the master swordsmen who killed her parents, led by the fierce Anotsu. Their perilous journey through a world of ruthless warriors transforms both in unexpected ways. Interesting trivia includes: 1) Takuya Kimura, who plays Manji, performed many of his own stunts to bring authenticity to the combat scenes. 2) Hana Sugisaki, as Rin, underwent intensive sword training for months to deliver a convincing and powerful portrayal. 3) The production uniquely blended traditional samurai aesthetics with modern cinematic techniques to create visually striking action scenes that honor the manga's style.
