Last Samurai Standing 1

Last Samurai Standing 1 is based on the story that inspired the Netflix samurai epic! As the 19th century comes to a bloody end, a sinister game of life-or-death brutally culls Japan's fading warrior class. Who is rounding up the few who still cling to their swords and forcing them to fight? Who will be the last samurai standing?

The year is 1878โ€”the 11th year of the Meiji era in Japan, and more than a decade since the samurai were stripped of their privileges and swords outlawed on public streets. A mysterious flyer appears in all corners of the land, luring those skilled in martial arts to Kyoto with the promise of riches beyond common imagination.

As warriors deprived of purpose flock to the appointed place at the appointed time, what awaits them is no ordinary task, but an all-out warโ€”against each other!

Perfect for fans of Shogun, Golden Kamuy, and Blade of the Immortal!
