“Last Samurai Standing” Netflix Poster
Now on Netflix is Last Samurai Standing, a series based on the manga of the same name by Shogo Imamura.
Directed by Michihito Fujii (Shoutai), Kento Yamaguchi (Dependence) and Toru Yamamoto (Missions of Love), Last Samurai Standing is an epic battle royale between brave warriors who lived through an uncertain era.
In the late 19th century during the Meiji period, 292 warriors, including Shujiro Saga (Junichi Okada), gather at Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto at nightfall, lured by the promise of a huge cash prize. Each given a wooden tag, they join a vicious game in which they must steal the tags of their fellow participants and reach Tokyo to win the prize money. Under the veil of night, the temple grounds are filled with unease and the presence of bloodthirsty warriors. When the signal is given to begin the game, the combatants launch into their relentless battle for survival.
The series also stars Yumia Fujisaki (The Parades), Kaya Kiyohara (Bushido), Hiroshi Tamaki (11 Rebels), Hideaki Itō (Terra Formars), and Gaku Hamada (7 Secretaries: The Movie).
