The sword action comes blood-drenched, very thick and super fast with everyone from Manji himself to Sabato and the main villain Anotsu sporting a variety of unusual and colourful weaponry — from the Japanese take on the three-section staff to two Blade of the Immortal: Legend of the Sword Demon connected forming a deadly staff — slicing and dicing in every fight scene.
