Everybody Here Swears By The Media Blasters Vershun, But What's Wrong With The Tokyo Shock Vershun, Less Footage, No Blood? Anybody Know What The Tie Breaker Is? Thanx!

I own the Tokyo Shock version, just bought it today. There is plenty of blood. Running time is like 116mins. Not Rated. And the extras are a series of press pictures of all of the Zatoichi flicks (basically Lobby prints, ads/posters, and box cover type stuff) and theatrical trailer thats it. Japanese/English Subs and Japanese no subs available. 16:9 1.85:1 aspect ratio. And the only negative I see is my copy kinda locked up in one specific spot and there aren't any scratches on the disc or anything.

Aren't they the same company?
