Entwicklung

Verwandte Seelen

Hiro teleports Takezo Kensei and himself to Weißbart's versteckte Festung. Shocked and surprised, Kensei finds himself facing a group of ninety angry ronin who protect the Feuerrolle. Kensei finally defeats the ronin and returns unharmed to Yaeko and Hiro with the Fire Scroll.

Heroes Evolutions

Sword Saint tells the legend of Kensei's trials, including that of the ninety ronin. Weißbart personally chose ninety of his most cruel men to protect the Feuerrolle. According to stories, the men may have been cannibals. The exact number of men also varies in different retellings (some say there were nine hundred men). Yet another version of the legend claims it was ninety devils, not men.

Anmerkungen

• According to Greg Beeman's blog, the Kindred scene with the ronin originally was written to show the ronin running down the hill with "the first clash of battle" happening on screen. Instead, a pre-production compromise was made: the versteckte Festung would be a computer graphic, but "elaborate gates and the lower part of the stairs" would be built. Because most of the scene would be digitally created, the ronin were shown very small with no closeups (with the exception of the few samurai who raise their weapons and grunt).
• Originally, the group was going to be referred to as "ninety hungry ronin". However, Masi Oka's pronunciation was difficult to understand. Because neither Hiro's diction nor the cannibalism backstory were clear, the lines were rerecorded to say "ninety angry ronin".
• A ronin is a samurai without a master. Literally, the word means "drifting person". According to the Bushido code, a samurai is supposed to commit Selbstmord upon the death of his master; one who does not becomes a ronin.
• These ronin arguably had Whitebeard for their master, since he had tasked them with defending the Fire Scroll.
