Last Samurai Standing absolutely delivers all kinds of fights. The series’ lead actor, Junichi Okada, is also its action choreographer, and he puts together a wild variety of configurations that keeps the series fresh. .... For now, it hits upon some satisfying anti-colonialism sentiment, but it could also eventually collapse if Last Samurai Standing puts too much narrative weight on it. That’s an issue for season two to deal with, but the question of whether Japan was too influenced by outside actors is at least compelling in season one.

The first five episodes offered enough bloody, ambitious set pieces and character development to keep me generally engaged, with the sixth episode being the first one to come close to blowing me away with samurai clashing, setting things up intriguingly for a second season that, unlike with Squid Game, is probably necessary.
