Get ready for a nightmarish journey through faith and betrayal as the infamous Jubei Yagyu wields his deadly blades against the forces of good and evil alike. In an orgy of unbelievable savagery, the armies of the Shogun give no quarter as they ruthlessly slaughter their enemies. Trapped on the rocky isthmus of Amakusa, the faithful await divine aid as the demon stirs in their midst. Desperate for vengeance, a Child of Heaven becomes the emissary of Hell.
Tortured by visions of Amakusa's final hour, legendary swordsman Jubei Yagyu returns to his ancestral home seeking respite from the bloody duties of a feudal retainer. Life in the village of Yagyu possesses a serenity ill-befitting days of armed rebellion and unholy alliance. For Jubei the tranquility is far too transparent, and soon, chilling rumors reach him. Four dead heroes renew their claim to life, feeding on the fear and violence of the age. Forced to take up the sword once more, Jubei returns to the path of vengeance and damnation in Ninja Resurrection!

Where it came from
Ninja Resurrection, released in Japan as Ninja Resurrection: The Revenge of Jubei, is a two-part original video animation series produced in the late 1990s. It was based on the manga Futari Hichō by Mutsuri Yamada, which drew heavy stylistic inspiration from the works of Go Nagai. The production emerged during a peak era for dark, visceral anime, aiming to capitalize on the international popularity of gritty, supernatural samurai narratives.
The animation was produced by the studio Marine Entertainment and directed by Yasunori Urata, with a visual style that emphasized grotesque imagery and intense, often jarring sequences of violence. When it was licensed by ADV Films for the North American market, the series became known as a quintessential example of the 1990s 'splatter' anime boom. Critical reception was largely polarized, as many viewers noted that the dense, complex plot felt incomplete due to the series' abrupt and unfinished nature.
