Sword For Truth Review

 Note: I spell for Truth

Srowd For Truth

This is my review on Sword For Truth from the ditant future year of 1990 (40 years before Robotech Season 2 and maybe Tranformers Zone)

Its directed by Osamu Dezaki who did Goldgo 13, Ashita No Joe, Astro Boy, Lupin III, The Mighty Orbots, Daiku Maryu Gaiking, Dororo, Big X and many other Anime

Its dubbed by Manga Entertainment who usually do good things like Mad Bull 34, Violence Jack, Angel Cop, Cyber City OEDO 808, Devilman and Urotsukidoji

I never saw this but heard its cr-ppy, but Imma give it a chance

fter a logo we get text saying man is destined for sin and ruin, and why are they born

Then Title and narration with showing a horse skeleton like the reindeer skeletons in Nightmare Before Christmas and  saying its been 34 years since Tokugawa took over and Imetsu rules a seemingly peaceful area but other pln to overthrow him

the skeleton horse turns to a guy ridin it with troops by him wanting to ice everyone he thinks is a traitor, like the maruta and soviets did, but when they get there a guy w/o a hea falls out and sprays blood

this big a55 white tiget is eating the guys sm and horseman orgders his men to attack but they get sliced apart an when horseman swings his blade, it breaks n the cat and the tiger bites off the head of his horse

is this f--kin battlecat from He Man?  Or is these Japanese guys really 3 feet tall like the hobbits?

so hrseman sounds the alard to warn his leader and the soldiers run around and this guy sez a tiger is just a big cat and to keep it away from the priness

yes, and a shark is just a big fish, and a whale is a big dolphn, and a dinosaur is a big reptile

So this huge a55 tiger like the one Raoh killed in Hokuto No Ken is walking on the roof somehow despite being the size of an elephant andcarrying a guy in its jaws and the people use guns but the tiger wases em

their weapons do jack sh-t and jack is j=rkin off to volence jack where the hermaphrodite b0nes the supermodel

some ninja break in the princss room and use a belt with spikes on the princess guard's neck and guys run to save her

the hotseman isnt dead and wants to stop the tiger despite his men saying they cant beat it but forseman sez its heading for Edo Castle and he has to defend the leader/princess

then thisguy comes by like Benten in Cyber Cuty or Rei in Hokuto no Ken andwhen the tiger attak, heslices under it and wipes his blade b sheathing it and the tiger splits in 2 along the waist

horseman thanks him but not rei sez he wants to go by and goes onhas a swastika mark on his outfit of 2 sythes of death

later this carnie offers to show this dragn lady and in the area they say the giant tiger broke outta its cage and iced 50 shogun men, and the age looks like chicken wire!

this chick bumps into people and jacks their wallets and she seez the not rei and follows him to jack hiswallet but he quickly sliced her outfit and her t-ts are showing and shes not wearing a shirt orbra

later not rei comes by this Tori gate and some bandits wanna ice him for being Shuranosuke Sakaki but he easily cuts em downwth black blood spraying

1 guy is impressed by him icing 6 dudes and is the one who hired em to test not rei Shuranosuke Sakaki and is Gunbei Tashiro of the Nakura Klan who was taught in dibine shinto style and faces not rei in the woods

thy slice and a butterfly is split and Gunbei Tashiro sez now his master knows it was Sakaki but his head comes off b4 he sez more

a guy in a hood named Daizen Imura the cheif of the Nakura Klan meets Sakaki and is impressed he took out the giant tiger like the huge a55 dogs in Batman Beyond

he wants Sakaki to save the princess as the tiger was there to lure off the guads  and capture her and tey'd give her back in exchange for this sword or she' be b0ned and iced by her captors: The Seki Ninja who serve Mori

No one in the klan can save the princess so they need Sakaki to do so and gives him gold he pays this guy some of it for 1 years rent in advance

he has a female visiter and she's got a Tengu Mask and i think its the theif who tracked him dow and wants to b0ne

she gets nude and has a tattoo of a chick eating babies like THEY often do and she's named Oren and was voiced by the chick who was vanessa in Robotech and Mollys mom in Sailor Moon and they start b0ning but it never shows his footlong

she pulls a shank and he stops her and she worries that anyone who b0nes her might ice her so she had to ice him 1st, whch makes me think shes a feminist, esp after the theft as THEY think "WE deserve it more" and Sakaki sez heaven/h=ll can be found on Earth and he'd show her both and he b0nes her til she loves him and she wants more b0ning

later its night snd they were b0ning for a while and a blade comes from the floor and he evades and shanks him and goes out to face the Saki Ninja in a graveyand  while in his japanese undies

he easily wastes em like Kenshiro or Steven Segal and 1 escapes with 1 less eye and lter we see 2 chicks queering out and i think 1 is he princess and they are on opium that was used to control its assassins and make people do things easier like the gov did with Ultra Mortal Kombat if you know what I mean

a chick sez the sword they want is the most good tresure and the princess is mindcontrolled into working for em by b0ning and drugs

at the temple made to keep off daemons from Edo Castle and on a lake  around an island w/o bridges, Sakaki comes over in a boat andfinds bodies shanked up with small blades like Tin Tin in The Crow 001

Sakaki goes on and blue fire spike blade things land by him and the Seki Leader Dogun greets him and the blue fire, maybe ice fire, things are lined up now when they weren't b4

Sakaki shows the ninja sword in a cloth and the ninja swarm out and the princess is on the roof and knda spazzed out and they meet and Sakaki sez he's only a hired hand

Dogun gets the blade and its the Gin Ryu but called Gin Rai Yuu sword instead of Ryuu cuz this was dubbed by Gaijin and its a silver dragon(gin = silver, ryu = dragon) but at least they didn't call him ROO

Sakaki can see they used drugs on the princess and walks up and asks why the blade is so good  but the thorn belt guy attacks and Sakaki blocks with his sheath and cuts down ninja with his blade

he asks why they iced the boat keeper and his fam and is told they saw em and thorn belt brags about making the little boy he chopped up squeal(Like a pig) as he stabbed him(with his d0ng?)

Sakaki has flashbacks of a kids voice and chops up the horn whip guy  then cuts through the enemy ninga easy and goes up the stairs to find Dugun with princess at knifepoint

Dogun se to drop his sword or he'd ice the princess like the queen did to diana but 25 years later she went to h-ll after her and Sakaki sez he would if Dogun spares the princess as he was paid to do a job

Princess sez if hes gonna waste her to hurry up and do it and asks sakaki if he can love her as she wants to be worthy of a good mans love

he sez he could love her but he's not a good man and she sez she thinks he's good and sez she's ready to get it and Dogun raises his blade but Sakaki offers his blades but then pulls out a throwing knife like Rublan in Shining force Gaiden Final Conflict and nails Dogun in the wrist, then runs over ans slices but Dogun jumps away

he grabs the princess and books it bu then al these red kunoichi or ninja chix come ut and cut throughthe saki ninja and tie up Dogun with red ribbons and want the Ginryu Swrod

Dogun overpowers a buncha chicks cuz hes a Japanese guy and is like 5'6 so he's considered uge to them and throws em around

Saki Ninja chase Sakaki and princess and he wastes em and runs with the princess on his back but meets a guy with a bug mask and red ninja chicks in his web and chopped up

they fight andhis mask blasts light and webs and Sakaki gets him through the pack and mouth and he sprays blood in a cool way

A Red Ninja chick attack and is cut down and Dogun is amazed its a woman like he couldnt tell like some gen z c=ck sucker and a buncha red injas gang shank him and get the sword b4 1 sez "Finish him" like mortal Kombat and shank him through the neck with a blade

he's not dead from that like with Mukai in Riki-Oh aftet the blade thing and Dugun flexes his muscles and the blades break outta his body and he steams with Ki and beats through the women easy cuz hs a big meaty dude, but falls off the roof

Sakaki brings Princess across the river and she wonders of the afterlife and maybe Styx and what its like as if she's a goth or emo kid with all her talk of how she thinks of biting it often

Nakota Clansmen come by to bring the princess but Sakaki sez dont and the Klansmen get shanked by a spear and pulled under  by this frog like c-ck sucker bu not a frenchie as hes higher evolved

princess worrys for em and theres a whirlpoole and Sakaki sez for the woman to be silent and this frogman jumps out and is gonna spear him but Sakaki uses some kind of Ki Katana to make him blow apart

lesewhere this guy sez the lake smells like blood and how Edo is dangerous at night andhis guide is to bring him to Suzaku's mansion but th guy with a mole sez this guide smells of blood and Suzaku hired him to ice mole guy but tells him not to as Suzaku is an embezzler and not worth it

Guide sez he was hired and does his work and takes off his shirt to show beefy muscles but mole guy sez hes Kazuma Utssaki of the Okiyama Klan and Guide sez hes the assassin Maroji

Maroji throws his hat and Mole guy cuts it but Maroji flips and kicks then flips off and sez hes using Jujitsu but mole lester thinks no kung fu can stop steel

spoiler; aikido is made to be what a Samurai does w/o a sword

So Maroji counters and does well bare handed and mole lester asks if he's married or has kids

Maroji sez no but moley sez hes got 1 daughter and is gonna be 3 and maroji sez he exists todestroy the lives of others and both go in for the attack and maroji counters and slams him into the ground and snaps his neck as he sez his dauhgters name

Sakaki brings princess across an area in the water with lanters and flame in em and its lamps for the festival of the dead

this geezer welcomes em to h-ll and the rivr styx and this sul of a seki ninja looking goblinoid jumps around the lantersna dn uses ninja magic ad the lamps blast fire and float at em like tiles n that zelda game

Saaki cuts em down and goblinoid attacks ut he blocks and slices through hs side and he barfs blood and falls in the water and the fires stop and they 

later Sakaki gors to this inn and this chick whos gay for himis gld to see him and she is p-ssed he brought the princess as she wanted to b0ne him

upstair princess sleeps witha screen beside her in a blanket and dreams of the night and cr-p she went through and gets up and hugs Sakaki for comfort as an emotional support Samurai

she thinks hes kind and he sez in 1 night he iced his rents and kid brother like Nikki from Urotsukidoji but with a kid brother

she crys from it and h sez sorry for upsetting her and later they bring the princess back and i think shes a vitgin cuz a man didnt b0ne her.

Sakaki gets paid his fee and a bonus but Sakaki asks why the guy who hired him and whos name I forgot as I'm reviewing this off youtube and took a 20 hour break \for this, k i looked it up and i think its Daizen Imura  and wasks why hes dressed for a funeral

He tells Sakaki that cuz Sakaki made contact with the princess he must die but he's sorry

then a buncha soldiers open the sliding doors and have guns and spears and as thy come in slow, Sakaki holds his shethed blade sideways like a black guy and sez "If you want my life, take it, but I'll take you to h-ll"

He tells Sakaki he expected to get it today and that's why he's wearing that outfit but he'd doing it for thr Honor of the Klan and tells em to fire on their hearts both of em

princess comes in and sez to stop and Sakaki saved her but Daizan sez honor is at stake but she sez they gotta ice her b4 they get him and then she collapses and crys and is taken away

Daizan sez for the men to leave em and after they go he sez sorry and offers him his money but Sakaki sez "If you throw a rock at a stray dog it'll never take food from you again" which seems like something Riki-Oh would say

Sakaki leaves and princess is in bed and not well and i think she got the aids frombeing b0ned and then we see this devolved guy wit prayer beads in front of a fire like Raye n Sailor Moon and saying how as the white tiger was iced, its one of the gods 4 incarnates along side the black turtle, blue dragon and red phoenix like f--kin beyblade

He's got naked chicks wrapped around him an he's like 5'5 as this japanese chicks are much smaller than him and i think he's in the fire and is like tessai from ninja scroll or the guy tessai was based off in Makai Tensho aka ninja resurrection and sez this is the start of  trial by fire that will see if the tokugawa ill rule for generations or end

then the fire gurns and forms a cross of zoomed in swastika and Sakaki walks by the Maroji or w/e the kung fu muscle man was who wa voiced by Tesso Genda who was Optimus Prme, Shuwartsu Negataro in Kekko Kamen, Vioence Jack in Slm King OVA, Naojiro in Abashiri Family, Yagyu Jubei in Ninja Resurrection and Narum in Riki-oh OVA 1.

Maroji sez he smells other men blod on Sakaki and he dont know if he does too but Sakaki sez he does but he should be glad its not his own (he's gone nose blind and nees febreeze)

they walk on and we get credits and this was based on a series of novels I never read by Takeshi Narumi.

The end

That was pretty cool

Yeah Ninja Scroll has betterr animation nd du acting, but this isn't bad on ts own

When you compre something to the best, of cource its gonna look worse

The animation by Magic Bus and Toei was pretty cool and you gotta remember, those stuios ain't as high rank as Madhouse who did Ninja Scroll

Also this ame out a few years b4 it but its go some cool art styling and creative fights

Ooh, the writer also did Yotoden/Wrath of the Ninja an apparently there was a live action movie of this in 96 alled Legend of the Devil or Shuranosuke Zanmaken: Yoma Densetsu

Oh and the credits have a moving sog like The Lnd Before Time 001 and soft piano

This was pretty cool and the dub had pretty baa55 voices that tried to be a period piece for feudal japan

the writing as good, the acting fit, the music was ool and the animation worked

it had cool scenes like the tiger biting off the horse head and the action becoming a watercolor art every no and then

this ova is good and its under an hour and I don' think its anywhere near as bad as the whners say

For Sword For Truth 2 I want the Daizan to hire Sakaki and Maroji to slay the remaining 3 holy beasts to get their organs to make the food of the gods to cute the poison the bad guys did to the princess. Sakaki don't wanna at 1st but the princess's need moves him enough to do it and eanMaroji team up to take on the 3 beasts with their own yokai minions thatthe heroes gotta bust through. After beating the easts, the devolved guy in the fire takes it and is gonna eat it to cure his devolved look but Maroji and Sakaki team up and take him on. Alsothe Saki guy Dogan fights em as a mnion of the devolved guy and Devolved guy was behind the whole thing andonce theybeat them and use a secret spul technique to stop em, they et the organ meat back to the princess and she eats it and becomes big and beefed out like Tullas  after eating the fruit of the tree of might or like a GoNagai bodybuilder chick and goes off with Maroji and Sakaki to fight Yokai. Also its a 16 bit Beat Em Up on Seg Genesis and Snes and TG16 and Atri Jaguar and GBA where you play as Sakaki and Maroji and Sakaki has more reach but Maroji does better throws and does more close damage andafter eating the game, you get a code to unlock the Princess as a roided up chick in a metal bikini and she's beast mode.
