When released in Japan this samurai epic directed by Takashi Miike was approximately 20 minutes longer. Every DVD and Blu Ray release outside of Japan has been the shorter International Cut. Unfortunately the Japanese blu ray is difficult to find and is not English friendly.
Many thanks to pipefan413 who did all the Japanese translations for the menu.
