Blade of the 47 Ronin plot
An evil witch named Yurei, whose ancestor was killed by one of the 47 Ronin, has turned up in modern Budapest, determined to exact revenge. Yurei tries to completely destroy all samurai by uniting both halves of the powerful Tengu sword. A prophecy claims that only a descendant of the original 47 Ronin can wield the blade and defeat this great evil. The samurai are shocked when Lord Shinshiro identifies a street-wise New Yorker named Luna as the one prophesied. He entrusts Ronin Reo and apprentice Onami with training Luna to be the hero they desperately need. With most of the samurai lords dead or missing, and a traitor hiding among them, the remaining warriors must summon all their skills as martial arts masters to fight Yurei's mystical magic and fulfill their destiny.

47 Ronin was poorly received, reportedly losing nearly $25 million. Despite everything, a sequel was announced in August 2020. No script had been written yet, but Ron Yuan was hired to direct the film. He promised it would be a fun and intense sequel. Based on a genre mix of action, horror, martial arts and cyberpunk. Both Dan Southworth and Yoshi Sudarso were featured in Power Rangers. Southworth played the role of Eric Myers in Power Rangers Time Force. Yoshi played Koda in Power Rangers Dino Charge. The movie was produced for Netflix.
Despite Yuan's expectations, this sequel fares significantly less than its predecessor. The film deviates broadly from 47 Ronin, and turns it into one big joke. The acting performances are mediocre, and it's a shame they even ventured into a sequel.
