When young Sasuke's mother is killed, he decides to follow in his father's footsteps to become a master ninja.

In the 17th century, Lord Tokugawa wages a ruthless war of domination. Among his targets are the mighty Sarutobi clan, whose most formidable warrior is Daisuke Ozaru. When Ozaru's wife is assassinated, his young son Sasuke--traumatized and believing his father dead--considers himself an orphan. Unbeknownst to him, the mysterious traveler who takes him in is actually Ozaru in disguise. And now, father and son walk a hidden path, as Daisuke secretly trains Sasuke to become a master ninja--so that one day, he can avenge his mother and strike back at the empire that destroyed their family.

The historic 1968 anime series comes to North America for the very first time in this complete collection, lovingly restored from original film materials, and featuring newly produced subtitles and a previously unreleased English dub. See for yourself how Sasuke set the standard for ninja anime for decades to come!
