Adapted from the famous samurai masterpiece, Hakkenden tells the tale of eight samurai brothers.

Comment:
The original was 6 episodes long. Then some time later, a sequel of 7 episodes was produced, but was under the same name and so is considered a 'continuation' (i.e. the first episode of the sequel is episode 7, not episode 1 of a new series).
