I ordered Shogun Assassin and I am waiting for it to arrive and I am just wondering what is the total body count for Shogun Assassin?

about 400....ooo yea its that good
*assassin with son*
The bodycount is plentiful. A fight seems to break out every 90 seconds, so assuming that Lone Wolf kills half a dozen of the Shogun's henchman every time he draws his sword, that would probably rupture my brain trying to total them up.
Probably easier to measure it in gallons.
If a body is hacked into multiple pieces and the camera follows each piece as it flops onto the ground does that count as one "body"? :-)
I would guess about 100, maybe 200 bodies but only a couple dozen that could be classified as "gallons of red spray." ~Marc
"When we're on a mission, I keep count of how many ninja my father kills. He says not to keep count, only to pray for their souls. But if I don't keep count, I don't know how many souls to pray for. So I keep count. So far it's three hundred and forty-two.
[three ninja women ambush Lone Wolf. He swiftly kills them]
Three hundred and forty... five."
:P
Those numbers incorporate people having been killed from as far back as the little boy can remember, not how many WE witness on screen. 2 different #'s my friend.
:P
Well, I know this thread is a couple of months old, but it was never answered so:
There is about 102 Total kills.

The You tube video is based on the Lone wolf Baby cart movies, which are different but have similiar scenes, according to that video the count is 105.
But basically yeah, the kills are a little over 100, not 400 or 325 like Diagaro said because those are the counts prior to the movies. If you count all the films then yes, you get like 400 kills, I mean in the second one he killed a whole freaking army...
