Ninja Kamui episode 1 ascends as the grittier counterpart to Jujutsu Kaisen
In the opening scenes of Ninja Kamui, peaceful farmer Joe Logan’s life is shattered by a wave of disturbing murders carried out by skilled ninja assassins.
Tragically, Joe’s wife and son are among the victims, leaving him grievously wounded but alive. Fueled by grief and rage, Joe embarks on a vengeful rampage, single-handedly annihilating the assassins who attacked his family.

While Ninja Kamui and Jujutsu Kaisen diverge in storytelling, they share common ground in their thrilling action sequences and special techniques. Ninja Kamui’s tale of revenge contrasts with Jujutsu Kaisen’s supernatural battles, yet both series deliver intense combat scenes.
Instead of battling against cursed spirits, Joe engages in intense hand-to-hand combat against waves of ninjas. Episode 1 showcases three remarkable action sequences, a treat we rarely get in anime debuts.
Joe’s display of ninja prowess indicates the anime’s promising start. With the potential for even more thrilling action in future episodes, the sky’s the limit for this series.
