May the stars guide us all. O constellations of the northern sky, annihilate evil as bringers of light.
Wicked Tamazusa, who became an immortal yokai by serving an evil spirit, invades the Tateyama Castle to take vengeance upon the Satomi clan. The Satomis are slaughtered, the sole survivor being young Princess Shizu. However, eight swordsmen, each carrying a bead with a carving representing the eight Cardinal Virtues, gather to aid her. They charge into the yokai army’s den, but the swordsmen fall in battle, one by one. The last one to remain, Shinbee, confronts Tamazusa alongside the Princess. An all-star cast appears in gorgeous costume and makeup in this SFX film. Yakushimaru and Sanada’s love scene also became the talk of the audience upon its release.
