As Haruma fan, this movie is especially touching and moving...he is really like Godai..I am so proud of his amazing performance, he gave his all and it can be felt. His handsome looks and elegant posture make him even more amazing..I am so grateful to know him and I hope this movie will be recognized in foreign countries as well, because Haruma deserves it.

Over-embellished biopic
P_MP_MP_M27 May 2022
Focusing on the life of Godai is an interesting angle for this historic biopic.
However, putting aside the various innacuracies, this movie suffers from embelisshing its characters to a point where they become nothing short of idealist caricatures.
Tengaramon tries to be a semi-serious movie, but events are so exaggereated and acting is so over-the-top that it's extremely difficult to take it seriously. The Ruronin Kenshin series showed it's perfectly acceptable to have some exaggerated historic fiction, too bad Tengaramon did not embrace what it is...
Production values remain excellent, but this movie leaves a bad aftertaste.
