Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Thirteen episode anime series that can be considered either a Spiritual Successor or a direct sequel to the Ninja Scroll movie. It revolves around Jubei needing to transport a mystical artifact called the Dragon Stone to a "Priestess of Light", and then to protect both of them from the machinations of the Hiruko Clan and the Kimon Shu. Dakuan re-emerges as one of Jubei's allies, and each episode features no fewer than three ninjas (from one or both rival ninja clans) with a wide variety of bizarre superpowers that match the wide variety of powers displayed by the Eight Devils of Kimon in the original movie (which Jubei tends to cut down rather handily, when they aren't busy killing each other).From a pure action standpoint it's generally a worthy sequel to the original movie, though there's not quite as much character development, and its tone shifts from historical fantasy to a more futuristic feel. Also, it leans on Futaro Yamada's The Kouga Ninja Scrolls even more than the movie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Ninja Scroll: The Series / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In contrast with the openly treacherous old bastard from the film, Dakuan is here a surprisingly selfless character, going on his own will to help Shigure and company and working to keep the reason and unity on the main group. Only in the last episodes he regains some of his old personality. Jubei himself is arguably more heroic and, as in the film he was more of a Wild Card and only got involved in the Kimon plot because he had been blackmailed by Dakuan. | |

Adaptational Badass: Jubei's sword skills are implied to be Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane at the best in the film, but now in the series he has really supernatural powers and can emit wind slashes from his sword. In general, while he used to run away and save himself by sheer luck against the Eight Demons, he is now the biggest force on the setting. | |
