Feat. Meiko Kaji, Yoshio Harada, Kazuko Yoshiyuki, Shin Kishida, Juzo Itami

Aroview: Excellent, though not widely celebrated sequel, has Kaji put her sword skills to work in Meiji Japan playing off the ruthless government against an angry lower class revolt-in-progress. Action scenes are up to par, though perhaps a little over-the-top for the more history-based setting.
