Dakuan asks Jubei to help him, but Jubei refuses until Dakuan traps him in a Poison and Cure Gambit before revealing a startling piece of information: the leader of the Eight Devils is Himuro Genma, a man Jubei has some history with-and whom Jubei insists he killed years ago. Jubei is saved from one of these attacks by Dakuan, a crazy old man who works as a government agent tracking the Eight Devils. In the meantime, Jubei is attacked by Tessai and then by another strange member of the group of super ninja that Tessai is a part of: the Eight Devils of Kimon. Kagero returns to report the death of her squad and is promptly sent back to gather more information about the attackers. Jubei manages to wound Tessai in a brief fight and helps Kagero escape, but the duo parts ways afterward. The empty temple he takes her to isn't quite empty, however, as wandering Rōnin Jubei-the film's protagonist-has stopped there. The only survivor of the massacre is Kagero, the sole female ninja in the squad-and she survives only because the stone man (Tessai) wants to rape her. The area is promptly evacuated and quarantined, but the leader of the local lord's ninja force receives reports of a group of strangers seen in the wilderness around the village just before the plague outbreak and asks for permission to investigate.Īs the ninja squad makes their way towards Shimoda village, they're slaughtered by a giant of a man who can turn his skin into stone. The main story begins when a dying peasant girl staggers into the village next to hers and claims a plague has wiped out her village before collapsing. As one of Manga Entertainment's first major releases during the mid-1990s anime boom, Ninja Scroll is fondly remembered by those who entered the anime fandom during this period. Ninja Scroll (獣兵衛忍風帖 Jūbee Ninpūchō, "Jubei Ninja Wind Scroll") is an award-winning 1993 anime film by Yoshiaki Kawajiri set during the Edo period.
