The poster is dominated by a fierce close-up of an armoured warrior with raised sword, set against a blazing red battlefield filled with banners and figures in motion. The huge white brushstroke title crashes across the lower centre, while the gold calligraphic copy at upper left reinforces the epic, martial tone. It is an exceptionally strong country-of-origin design: bold, aggressive, and unmistakably rooted in the grand visual language of late-1980s and early-1990s Japanese historical cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"1862\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"2233\"\u003eExcellent.
