Violent Game of Death
LAST SAMURAI STANDING (2025 - ) was a brutal and riveting Japanese series, a fictional story set in the historical era of 1870's. The series was excellent in all ways. Casting, acting, costumes, design, visual and last but certainly not least the martial arts choreography and brutal fight scenes.
"In 1878, 292 samurai gather for a battle royale lured by a 100 thousand yen prize. Wooden tags are given; the last survivor reaching Tokyo wins. Shujiro Saga participates to save his sick family. A dangerous game of survival unfolds."
I highly recommend this short series, especially if you enjoy gritty asian series with a dark premise, intense action and fight scenes, and set in a realistic historical period. This was a top notch series that I really enjoyed along, with other Asian historical / action martial arts series, such as Japan's Shogun (2024), Korea's Kingdom (2019) and US's Warrior (2019-2023).
