Last minute preparations have been made as the impending battle for Kanna draws near. When the Nobuseri arrive without notice, the training implemented by the samurai will prove the village's fate. While Kathsushiro and Kirara struggle with their feelings for each other, Kyozo confirms just how fearless a samurai can be - embarking on a solo mission into the heart of the enemy camp. Deploying waves of attack from every direction - from ninja-like foot soldiers to the giant Benigumo machines - the Nobuseri will not stop until Kanna is completely annihilated. In the furious climax, not all of the Samurai will survive. There is no turning back....

Episode 13, The Attack, sees the start of the battle. As the Nobuseri head toward the village in force, the samurai and farmers make last minute preparations.

The Offering: The Samurai come up with a clever ploy - to attempt to secretly creep onboard one of the Nobuseri ships.

The Gun and the Calm: After defeating one of the large Nobuseri ships, the samurai head back to the village and dig themselves in for a long fight. Will this be the final battleground?

The Storm: The samurai prepare for the impending Nobusari's attack. But in order to have any chance of success one of their number must put their life on the line.

The fourth volume of Samurai 7 is really one long battle. If episodes with loads of gags, talking and character development are your thing, then you will be greatly disappointed by what's on offer here. However, if you like kick-ass fighting, then you'll be in hog's heaven.

Extras include director and actors commentary on one episode (which is a little to lovey for anyone who didn't actually work on the show to stomach; opening and closing songs; and trailers for other releases.
