Takuya Kimura and Erika Toda in Blade Of The Immortal

Blade Of The Immortal (无限之住人) is the live adaptation of Japanese manga series by Hiroaki Samura, set in Japan during the mid-Tokugawa Shogunate period and follows the cursed samurai Manji, who has to kill 1000 evil men in order to regain his mortality [Wiki]. During his journey, he meets our heroine who is also hellbent on avenging her parents’ deaths and he becomes her bodyguard. The trailer has an epic scene with him and her against 300 warriors, with him asking, “Who should I cut down?”

The music gets me hyped up for sure!

Erika Toda. It took me a few seconds to really feel for her style. Is she never returning to dramaland? She plays a great swordswoman and courtesan who dedicates her life to Sota’s character. Aww.

    Wait, what’s going to happen to Erika Toda? Is she retiring?
    I’m already bummed out by Maki Horikita’s retirement ?
    Takuya Kimura <3 My favorite Howl ~

      no she’s not. she will comeback with Code Blue season 3, of course with Yamapi etc. I’ve read somewhere about this.

      Toda is not retiring or anything, she’s just doing movies a lot. And In July, Code Blue season 3 is coming back to TV with all the main cast.

      I’m still shocked at Maki’ retirement. I thought I was trolled the whole day.

      • 21 thoughts on “Takuya Kimura and Erika Toda in Blade Of The Immortal

        Her fan club dissolved in 2015 so I knew her retirement was coming. And it’s very Maki-like to retire to focus on her family. I just wish she had stayed long enough to join the Yamapi and Kame reunion that’s coming up, haha.

    The anime was awesome if there was a continuation but it ended with an open ending for a sequel.
    I’m looking forward to the movie, especially because it has Erika Toda (my Nao chan from Liar Game) ?.
    Before your article, I didn’t know she was in this at all. Thanks.

    When I watched this anime, I shipped the girl (female lead/protagonist) with the guy (male antagonist/ villain) that she was supposed to get revenge with. Spoiler! Not really! It’s basically in the synopsis so it’s not a spoiler. That guy made many other guys from his group do something to the girl’s mother. That was why she was on a quest of revenge.

    Here I am shipping the two. Because the manga guy is so “long hair flower boy hotness”, I totally didn’t care for the male lead, who was a fighter and was muscular and was helping the girl get her revenge.

    Here I am shipping the male antagonist with the female protagonist. I’m always f***ed up. Also, I ship Gilgamesh with Saber in Fate Zero.
    Something is not right with me in the head. haha ?

      Also, once a upon a time, I checked out a Rene Liu drama and saw Takuya Kimura, and I was like yo whats up, whats up the 2000s!!!! (She’s from Taiwan but the drama is in mainland)

      Didn’t know Rene has been a singer. Saw her in a few dramas a few times. Didn’t know who she was until this year. One of those searching for a really old drama in childhood. Thought it was really comical back then.

      Watched Wong Kar Wai’s 2046 and he was there too. One of those popping up on screen, surprise you.

      Watched “million of stars falling from the sky” a few years ago when I just started watching Japanese dramas. It’s a 2000s drama and it has him in it, and it’s one of my first Japanese dramas ever, but I will never recommend this to anyone. STAY AWAY from it. Far far away.

      shock shock shock! Sota Fukushi is in here! ??? He was in Bleach too!

      OMG in the anime I shipped Hana Sugisaki’s character with Sota Fukushi’s character (I know, f***ed up).

      IF you know the anime, Erika Toda’s character is the coolest woman ever ever ever in that time period. She is just so cool and sexy. I’m happy for Erika that she got this role. Her character is supposed to be romantically linked with Sota Fukushi’s character.

      I had to reread: is it “Sota” or “Shota”. Did you not miss “H” in the name.
      I’m shameless. The 5th photo, introducing Sota Fukushi with him all bloody, yeah, that one, his hair style there looks so much like you know who. I swear I could have mistaken him as Shota Matsuda. I’m shameless. Hey, at least this time I ship the logical pair (Nao + Akiyama).

      So this is such a missed opportunity here coz Matsuda could have fitted the role just as much.

        YESH TO Nao + Akiyama!!! My adorable pair!! They need a reunion drama since like….6 years ago. Drama gods, please!

    • 21 thoughts on “Takuya Kimura and Erika Toda in Blade Of The Immortal

      Dude. Saber OTP is totally Lancer tho. Gil isn’t bad and I kinda shipped them as well.

      • 21 thoughts on “Takuya Kimura and Erika Toda in Blade Of The Immortal

        @Vee, yeah dude! LANCER is cool too. It’s just that Gil and Saber have many cute moments, and he fancies her. oohhh

      *He did something really really bad particularly to the girl’s mother* and then to the rest of her family. That’s why she wanted revenge on him.

      but there’s her chasing him, and he sort of maybe cares for her. In the end, they understand each other so much. Keep your friend close, keep your enemies closer. They are enemies but they understand each other so well.
      His character symbolises human nature. Always conflicts. Can’t do without wars. If you look at things from his perspective, it’s not his fault. He’s not bad, but it’s the bigger picture, it’s the human conditions and conflicts that drive him.

    LOL Royce’s comments got me laughing so hard. & definitely ship Nao and Akiyama. Can they come back for more Liar Game? ;(

    Had no idea Kimura and Toda did a movie together!

    Toda will be in a drama with her Death Note co-star Fujiwara Tetsuya next month titled Reverse. I’ll be looking forward to that.

    Fukushi Sota’s popularity is a mystery to me. I get that he has a cute face that a lot of Japanese girls may prefer but he doesn’t have anything to bring to the table as far as acting goes.

      Literally saw the trailer just after this post published last night. hee!

      I need her in quirky rom-com!! 🙁

      • 21 thoughts on “Takuya Kimura and Erika Toda in Blade Of The Immortal

        Can you name a few or many of her quirky rom-coms? I’ve never seen her acted in one.

        • 21 thoughts on “Takuya Kimura and Erika Toda in Blade Of The Immortal

          I would say her characters in Boss and Spec are quirky. Her recent projects have been more serious and I want to see her in something light, fluffy and quirky. 😀

    love me some kimutaku and chiaki kuriyama!! would’ve been a stroke of casting genius had they given the latter the bigger role. sadly, can’t watch anything with toda no matter who else is cast in it.

    Gah!!!! And l was hoping that Erika would be the female lead T___T l never watch the anime so know nothing about the story. l was so hyped up when l saw Kuriyama Chiaki also on the list. Erika and Chiaki! But the female lead is instead a kid….. Chiaki wasn’t even shown in the trailer O___O
