Yaiba: Samurai Legend
Yaiba: Samurai Legend streams on Netflix and Hulu — Wit Studio's gorgeous revival of a beloved 90s shonen manga, rebuilt with the kind of animation budget the original could only dream about. It's pure, uncut adventure-shonen joy: loud, fast, and completely sincere.
About
Yaiba Kurogane is a feral little samurai raised in the jungle, training under his eccentric father until fate hauls him back to Japan. There he collides with Takeshi Onimaru, a cold prodigy with a sword spirit to rival his own — and a rivalry ignites. When Onimaru claims a legendary demon blade and something inhuman starts waking inside him, Yaiba's rowdy schoolyard duels escalate into a full-blown supernatural quest. It's a story with the energy of a kid sprinting downhill: swordfights, monsters, treasure, and a hero who solves most problems by grinning at them.
