A young samurai goes into exile when he takes the blame for a murder he did not commit to avoid a war between clans, in this 1966 Japanese action drama.
violence
Sustained sequences of swordfighting action include stabs and slashes; while impacts are largely hidden from view, there is occasional sight of blood spatter, bloody clothing and blood over dead bodies. Characters also battle one another with sticks.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A woman is grabbed and manhandled by two attackers who force her to the ground; it is implied they rape her before murdering her. A woman tells a man not to rape her before he forcefully grabs her and grips her hair. However, he releases her before the attack goes further.
suicide and self-harm
A woman threatens to take her own life by biting through her own tongue. References are made to suicide and characters discuss taking their own lives for the honour of their samurai clan.
additional issues
There is mild bad language ('bastard'). Characters are captured and threatened at swordpoint and a child falls into a river. People grieve for lost loved ones.
