Lone Wolf & Cub Manga

"Lone Wolf & Cub" is an epic tale of honor, loyalty, and the unbreakable bond between a lone samurai warrior and his young son. Set in feudal Japan during the Edo period, this action-packed series follows the path of Ogami Ittō, a former executioner turned ronin (masterless samurai), who embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance against those who destroyed his clan.

Carrying his infant son Daigoro in a wooden cart outfitted with hidden weapons, Ittō traverses through a dangerous and treacherous world filled with rival clans, corrupt officials, and merciless assassins. Along their journey, father and son encounter various adversaries seeking to put an end to their quest or exploit their skills for personal gains.

As Lone Wolf & Cub face countless life-threatening challenges, they find solace in each other's unwavering strength and devotion. Ittō is both a master swordsman renowned for his lethal techniques as well as an embodiment of stoic detachment—a force to be reckoned with when crossed but still struggling with grief over his fallen family. Daigoro emerges as more than just an innocent child; he too proves himself by displaying remarkable resilience and witnessing firsthand the brutal realities of their world.

Through brilliantly choreographed sword fights, intricate political conspiracies, and moments of breathtaking artistic expression depicting both beauty and brutality, "Lone Wolf & Cub" explores profound themes such as honor, redemption, morality versus survival instincts—while offering insights into Japanese culture and historical context.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972)

My rating: 7/10

I enjoyed the over-the-top violence, the way everybody was just so terribly extra and the cinematography, didn't enjoy the way this movie treats its women. Overall pretty good, if you enjoy watching bad guys getting bits cut off by a guy with a weaponized baby carriage and a sword.
