About Ninja Scroll
Ninja Scroll follows the wandering swordsman Jubei Kibagami through Edo-period Japan, in Yoshiaki Kawajiri's 1993 chanbara classic and its televised follow-up. The 2003 series is a standalone sequel set after the film, so release order matches story order.
Good to know
The TV series is a standalone sequel set after the film, so release order and story order are the same list. Watching the 1993 film first pays off, though the series explains its own Dragon Stone plot as it goes.
