What We Think

Blade of the Immortal is refreshingly non-woke, staying true to its historical setting, avoiding forced representation, and refusing to sacrifice story for modern ideology. A solid choice for those tired of Hollywood trend-chasing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Blade of the Immortal keeps its focus squarely on story, character development, and gritty themes of revenge. Identity traits aren't pushed to the forefront and the narrative avoids trendy ideological detours. Traditional storytelling and authentic motivations drive the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show respects traditional Japanese cultural, historical, and familial values. Morality, redemption, and the honor code are taken seriously. Masculinity is neither undermined nor mocked, and strong female characters are believable within the setting without subverting established gender dynamics.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While traditional values dominate, the series doesn't vilify dissenting perspectives. Characters are diverse in morality and motivation, and there's significant moral complexity rather than ideological preaching. No modern ideological monoculture present.
