If you loved Yamato, try The Drifting Avenger
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Drifting Avenger has roughly 4.1× fewer votes than Yamato — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Junya Satō. If that's the register that drew you to Yamato, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Drifting Avenger is
Unforgiven, if directed by Kurosawa. A Japanese immigrant and his family are attacked by bandits in the American West. He teams up with an aging gunslinger to hunt the killers. It's a solid entry in the "samurai in the West" cycle.
