The Hakkenden: Legend of the Dog Warriors (1990)

The Hakkenden / THE八犬伝

Information

Description

Blurb:
During the war-torn feudal wars of Japan, the Awa clan faced certain extinction from a rival clan backed by demonic forces. However, a careless promise by their lord leads to both salvation and disgrace when their family dog brings back the head of the enemy warlord and insists upon marrying the lord’s daughter!

Their unnatural union bears fruit, but when they are both killed, the eight unborn pups are reincarnated as the eight Dog Warriors - the Hakkenden. Slowly they find each other and come together as a group. These eight warriors, who represent the eight separate aspects of the Bushido, engage in bloody battles with demonic entitles and evil samurai in the final attempt to redeem their clan!
Im 15. Jahrhundert bekriegen sich die Klane Anzai und Satomi. In einer ausweglosen Lage des Hauses Satomi wird ein unglaubliches Versprechen gegeben: Der Hund Yatsufusa soll die Prinzessin Fuse zur Frau erhalten, wenn er den Kopf von Kagetsura Anzai bringt. Nach der Niederlage des Anzai-Klans besteht Fuse darauf, dass der Fürst sein Wort hält. Bevor jedoch ihre acht Nachkommen geboren werden, wählt die Prinzessin den Tod. Acht Perlen von Fuses Gebetskette werden ihre Inkarnation offenbaren. Jahre später. Acht junge Krieger - sie alle haben ein Hautmal in Form einer Pfingstrose. Jeder von ihnen besitzt eine der Perlen. Die ersten vier Hundekrieger führt das Schicksal des magischen Schwertes Murasame zueinander. Es soll seinem rechtmäßigen Besitzer, dem Herrscher von Kanto, übergeben werden.
