Samurai Crusader: Sunrise over Shanghai

SAMURAI CRUSADER

In the 1930's, Japanese samurai Kumomaru sets off to see the world and test his swordsmanship against the sinister forces brewing an apocalyptic world war. His companions include a beautiful French lady of the night and Ernest Hemingway himself!

SUNRISE OVER SHANGHAI

Kumomaru's evil countrymen have imperialistic designs on Shanghai. But before Kumomaru can fight for the Chinese people's right to self-determination, he must defeat the bloodthirsty ogre that nasty ninja Juzo and his twisted young-protégé have conjured from the depths of hell! Then, when Kumomaru musters his forces for a final showdown with Major General Kamishima, he is attacked by a nefarious Nazi armed with a monstrous battle ax worthy of the most Wagnerian opera! Can Japanese steel defeat German iron?

Finally, when an enemy wields the sacred sword Kusanagi against its master, he triggers a terrifying vision of things to come.... Is Kumomaru's battle for world peace over? Or has it just begun?
