HIDIVE and Iconic Events Releasing are presenting the limited run, with tickets already on sale. The October 4 screening offers the English-subtitled version, October 5 features the English dub, and the October 7 encore presents either format depending on the theater. The restoration was supervised by Kawajiri and produced by Sentai. The process began with a 4K scan of the original 35mm negative at 3840 by 2160 resolution, followed by frame-by-frame damage repair and color correction to create an archival-quality digital master. The film, originally produced by Madhouse, follows Jubei, a wandering ninja who saves a young ninja woman and becomes drawn into investigating the mysterious deaths of an entire village. The pair uncover a conspiracy involving supernatural enemies. The screenings are promoted as the first chance for North American audiences to see the newly remastered 4K version in theaters.","whyItMatters":"The run is positioned as a limited theatrical event rather than a wide release, giving the restored film a brief, event-driven window in North American cinemas.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe remastered Ninja Scroll is presented as a three-day event, with each date offering a distinct format: the English-subtitled version on Sunday, the English dub on Monday, and a mixed-format encore on Wednesday.
