aka Shura-yuki-hime: Urami Renga. Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance.Lady Snowblood (Meiko Kaji) having been caught, is sentenced to death for her crimes, but before she reaches the gallows she is rescued by the secret police who recruit her to infiltrate an anarchist group and retrieve an incriminating letter.
The follow-up to Lady Snowblood: Blizzard Of The Netherworld continues Yuki's story. Time has moved on and now she is in the midst of the political turmoil of Japan following the Russo-Japanese war. As politics rather than pure vengeance drives the story, it can at times get a bit convoluted, but saying that, Meiko still has presence and dominates the screen as she hacks her way through another truck load of unfortunate men.
