Shogun's Samurai Movie Clip Plot synopsis:SHOGUN’S SAMURAI (aka The Yagyu Clan Conspiracy) is a legendary samurai epic from Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale), blending intense political intrigue with brutal swordplay. Set in the Edo period, the film follows the deadly succession battle between shogun Hidetada Tokugawa’s sons—Tadanaga and Iemitsu—after their father’s mysterious poisoning. As loyalties shift and blood is spilled, the Yagyu clan, led by Munenori (Kinnosuke Yorozuya), and his sons Jubei (Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba) and Munefuyu (Kentaro Kudo), become entangled in a conspiracy that will shape Japan’s future. Also starring Hiroki Matsukata and Teruhiko Saigo, Shogun’s Samurai features Chiba’s iconic first portrayal of Jubei Yagyu, a role he would reprise in Samurai Reincarnation. A true chanbara classic, presented for the first time on UK Blu-ray from The Masters of Cinema Series.
