[J-Movie] Azumi 1,2

Azumi 

Orphan Azumi  is brought up in war-torn feudal Japan as an assassin. She is trained by Master G along with 10 of her fellow orphaned male assassins to kill two rival warlords – this is for the purpose of bringing peace to the nation. After completing their training, Master G has one final test for the 10 assasins. The 10 assasins are to pair off with each other and have one final battle to the death, leaving only 5 assassins. With their mission set, Azumi and the other surviving assassins journey out to decapitate the rival warlords.

Azumi 2 Death or Love

It’s been some time since Azumi and Nagara finished their grueling training as lethal young assassins in the service of the shogun, a training that finished with the ruthless final test – to kill their longtime training partner (in Azumi’s case, Nachi, who could have been her first love), or perish themselves. The bitter memory of this cruel moment still haunts Azumi, but then, so do the hordes of brutal killers who pursue her and Nagari, now hunters and the hunted at the same time. A civil war is brewing, and the pair’s mission is to stave it off by assassinating those who would wish to see it occur. Their main target is Masayuki Sanada, heavily protected by a small army of killers, but on the way they encounter a colourful gang of bandits, one of whom, Ginkaku, is a dead ringer for the late, lamented Nachi
