Should I watch 46 Ronin first to understand this?


TIA

1-45 ronin are pretty lame but yeah 46 ronin is required viewing or you'll be lost when you watch 47 ronin.

reply

I think you are being a bit facetious. 1 Ronin is clearly required viewing to get the overall story. After that, really, only 2, 7, 14, 28 and 35 are really required.

14 and 28 had terrible writing though.

reply

Agreed but Id add 6½ Ronin to the list.
Wouldnt want to miss that medieval triangle battle at the end.

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, & 43 before watching 47 Ronin. I'm not sure why but those seem like prime viewing.

Is 46 Ronin the one with Ken Jeong?

reply

or maybe that was 46 Centimeter Ronin

reply

Why didn't they just call that one Regular-Sized Ronin?

reply

Nah. Just see The Seven Samurai 6 times and Rocky IV once. It'll catch you up.
