SASUKE English Sub & Dub

About SASUKE

Here is what SASUKE (サスケ) is about, retold in plain terms: an action anime (1968). What the story covers: Sasuke is the son of a very skilled ninja, whose name is Ozaru. After the defeat of their lord, Yukimura Sanada, Tokugawa's and Hattori's ninjas begin to persecute all their adversaries still alive: that means Ozaru and Sasuke must leave their house and start a violent struggle for their own life.

More of the story: Danger, vengeance, anger, loyalty, pain are the basic elements of this story, where the worst aspects of the human soul are described together with the growth of the main character, the young Sasuke.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Narrator (Hisashi Katsuta) and Sasuke (Kenbo Kaminarimon) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 29 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
