The Sword of Doom (1966)

Poster for The Sword of Doom

The sword is the soul. Study the soul to know the sword. Evil mind, evil sword.

Ryunosuke, a gifted swordsman plying his trade during the turbulent final days of Shogunate rule, has no moral code and kills without remorse. It’s a way of life that leads to madness.
