History

Kindred

Hiro teleports Takezo Kensei and himself to Whitebeard's Hidden Fortress. Shocked and surprised, Kensei finds himself facing a group of ninety angry ronin who protect the Fire Scroll. Kensei finally defeats the ronin and returns unharmed to Yaeko and Hiro with the Fire Scroll.

Heroes 360

Sword Saint tells the legend of Kensei's trials, including that of the ninety ronin. Whitebeard personally chose ninety of his most cruel men to protect the Fire Scroll. According to stories, the men may have been cannibals. The exact number of men also varies in different retellings (some say there were nine hundred men). Yet another version of the legend claims it was ninety devils, not men.

Notes

  • According to Greg Beeman's blog, the Kindred scene with the ronin originally was written to show the ronin running down the hill with "the first clash of battle" happening on screen. Instead, a pre-production compromise was made: the Hidden Fortress would be a computer graphic, but "elaborate gates and the lower part of the stairs" would be built. Because most of the scene would be digitally created, the ronin were shown very small with no closeups (with the exception of the few samurai who raise their weapons and grunt).
  • Originally, the group was going to be referred to as "ninety hungry ronin". However, Masi Oka's pronunciation was difficult to understand. Because neither Hiro's diction nor the cannibalism backstory were clear, the lines were rerecorded to say "ninety angry ronin".
  • A ronin is a samurai without a master. Literally, the word means "drifting person". According to the Bushido code, a samurai is supposed to commit suicide upon the death of his master; one who does not becomes a ronin.
