Oh I love this movie! It first introduced me to the idea of shu-ha-ri haha. Hiromitsu Agatsuma’s playing as Nitaboh at the end is incredible (tho as Tawaraboh that Aiya Bushi is so good too :p)
I thought it was one of the most informative movies I’ve ever seen. When I saw this, I thought “Oh man, this is something Bachido needs in it’s forums!”
Yeah, especially with the uncertainty about the actual Nitaboh it’s definitely an amazing account of that story.
