Classification | - |
Synopsis | Dying warrior Jubei entrusts his servant Koinosuke with the task of finding his true spiritual heir. Eventually he discovers Jiyu "Jubei" Nanohana and has to persuade her to put on the heart-shaped eyepatch that causes her to transform. She transfers to a new school where many are descended from samurai, and she is repeatedly challenged to battle by supply teachers. |
Review | Martial arts comedy in which a perky schoolgirl inherits the spirit of a 17th century samurai warrior, and turns into a warrior on donning the heart-shaped eyepatch. Lightweight but fun. (Jubei Yagyu Mitsuyoshi was a real-life person and sword-teacher to the Shogun who disappeared from his job and into the pulp pages of novels, movies and anime.) |
