Black Lion - Fear the Black Lion (Vol. 1)

Amazon.com Based on a manga by Go Nagai, this anachronistic gorefest is set in 1580, when Oda Nobunaga united Japan under what would later become the Tokugawa Shogunate. In Black Lion, Nobunaga attacks his foes with guns, missiles, lasers, bombs--and the "immortal" warrior Ginnai Doma (actually a murderous cyborg). He's pitted against Shishimura (a look-alike for Ryo in Ronin Warriors), who's out to avenge his friends' deaths. On the umpteenth try, he slices Doma in half, which causes the robot's atomic pile to explode. Shishimura and his friends are saved from the blast by an unexplained corps of extraterrestrials. Shishimura proclaims himself "the Black Lion" in an ending that suggests the filmmakers intended to continue his adventures. Viewers willing to overlook the blood and gore will find Black Lion is often unintentionally hilarious. (Rated 15 and older: graphic violence, grotesque imagery, profanity) --Charles Solomon Product Description From Go Nagai, creator of Devilman and Cutey Honey, comes a savage tale of betrayal, vengeance and other-worldly forces. The year is 1580 and Nobunaga Oda is working to consolidate his power over Japan. In his army are weapons of great destructive power: rapid fire machine guns, lasers, missiles and, most frightening of all, the reputedly immortal ninja Ginnai Doma. Like a sentence of divine wrath he hunts down and destroys dissident monks, ninjas and others, wherever they may be. With the clans on the brink of destruction, a single ninja accepts the impossible task: kill the immortal Ginnai.
