What they share
Theysit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Samurai Marathon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ronin-gai is
You are a masterless samurai scraping by in the pleasure district. A local militia targets the brothel, and you decide to fight. But divided loyalties run deeper than honor. Kuroki's late-career turn toward action feels both classic and doomed.
