YMMV / Daimajin

• Awesome Music: As to be expected with Ifukube, the finale track packs an emotional punch.
• Complete Monster: Odate Samonosuke is an ambitious samurai who overthrows his daimyo, killing him, many loyalists and nearly burning his children alive in the process. Taking the lordship for himself, Odate institutes a regime of conquest and cruelty, enslaving all the able-bodied men he can and taking enough food in taxes to starve the peasantry. When a loyalist comes to see if it's time for the prince to stir up rebellion, Odate has him tortured and another prisoner exposed to the elements to lure the prince out so he can crucify them both. The local High Priestess tries to appeal to Odate's humanity and stop his cruelty, but the tyrant simply kills her and orders a statue of her god destroyed out of spite. When loyalist soldiers arrive to rescue the prince, Odate orders them crucified alongside him.
