Shinobi - Heart Under Blade dvds

Okay, here we have another typical japanese dvd release. Shinobi will be released in four different editions:



First comes the boring standard edition





Next comes the limited Igaban 2 disc edition:







The third release is another 2 disc limited edition, called Kogaban. This release has different bonus materials than Igaban







And finally comes the 3 disc Deluxe Edition featuring bonus discs from both Igaban and Kogaban releases + lots of additional stuff. Call me crazy but I’m seriously considering getting this beauty:







Release date 18.02.2006

English subs included

Did you buy the Deluxe edition? It´s got to be so much fun throwing that Throwing star!Looks awesome ;D

No, I ran out of money. I friend of mine bought it, though. I got the Kogaban release instead.



Some of those earlier cover pics were a bit incorrect. Here’s the (almost*)actual covers:



Kogaban Igaban


  • the pics of the charachers on the bottom of the cover is just a pice of paper that shows which character cards are included. The actual covers don’t have any pics in them other than the Kouga-Manjidani / Iga-Tsubagakure logos.
