THE SAMURAI (ONMITSU KENSHI)

ADDENDA

Phantom Agents

Please note that I do not know where you can obtain videos/DVDs of this series dubbed into English. A "Best of" compilation of 33 episodes running 900 minutes has been released, undubbed, in Japan on DVD as boxed set for US$216.42. However, you will need a multi-region DVD-player as it is Region 2, only (though some DVD players do seem to be able to play all regions even if nominally coded for Region 4 (Australia). Yesasia.com sells it. It’s listed here (Thanks to Graham R. for alerting me to this).

From time to time episodes dubbed into English are offered on e-Bay from someone in the Blue Mountains (NSW). Or you could try searching the web under the Japanese title of Ninja Butai Gekko in case any of the various sites (mainly in the USA) which sell various Japanese films and TV series on video/DVD have dubbed copies for sale.
