The farmer explains his story to the local town leader guy, who is named Farmer to make this even more confusing. ![]() We have a giant ball of rubber bands somewhere in San Francisco, but no one cares. In ancient….Somewheresia, some dude has a giant peach! This town must be pretty boring because the entire village crowds around the guy with the giant peach. ![]() He looks like he’s inspired by the Japanese Tengu spirit masks. ![]() His wife is sick and he spends most of the film looking after her.ĭemon Master (?) – The head of the demons who guard the magic plant Peach is after. Peach’s Dad/Old Guy (?) – Peach’s dad, found Peach in a giant peach in the river. Anyway, his career of demanding virgins comes to an end when he is killed. Except when he’s a guy, or a guy riding a giant frog. Becomes Peach’s sister in name only as a result, thus spending the last half of the movie moping over Peach’s sick mom.įrogger (?) – The frog demon guy that is either named devil or god or god-devil or whatever Subtitle Guy wanted to call him that sentence, so we’re just calling him Frogger because he’s a giant frog. Pearl (?) – Farmer’s daughter, is to be sacrificed to the demon Frogger until Peach kicks it’s butt. Has the power to turn into pretty much anything. Lee Yu (?) – A Fox Spirit caught by Peach who joins him on his quest. So they took him and shoved him into some of the Peach Boy/Momotaro mythos. Peach (Yoshinobu Kaneko) – A boy from a giant peach who has super powers and flies around and is awesome and acts amazingly like the character from Watari that Yoshinobu Kaneko played, even down to having some of the same weapons. We got white subs on white backgrounds most of the time! But at TarsTarkas.NET, we don’t need no stinking subtitles! Or even partial subtitles! However, The Magic Sword of Watari only follows parts of this story, and instead becomes just another Taiwanese film about a boy who flies around and kills a bunch of monsters. There are several films about this legend, along with a lot of cartoons and tv shows, many of which are wacky. On the way, he makes friends with a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant. It goes like this: Momotaro (aka Peachboy) is found inside a giant peach by a childless couple, and eventually Momotaro goes to an island to kill a bunch of demons. Peachboy! – The legend of Peachboy is a classic Japanese legend. I have not seen any of these monsters in photos I saw of the Akakage series, but I haven’t watched all 52 episodes. Now, if this reuses some monster footage from the Akakage tv series, I have no idea. The second film is also known as Watari and the 7 Monsters, aka The Magic Sword of Watari, aka Golden Boy and the Seven Monsters, aka Golden Boy subdues Monsters. According to Yoshinobu Kaneko’s own website, the two films were called Momotaro Young Dragon and Momotaro restrains the Seven Monsters. Yoshinobu Kaneko then made two films in Taiwan in 1970 that were co-productions with Japan. The show’s young boy star Yoshinobu Kaneko also starred in the film Watari Ninja Boy ( Daininjutsu eiga Watari), which is why some of the Akakage films were renamed with Watari in the title. The three films have recently been released on DVD. Several of the episodes were stitched together to make three flicks that were farmed out to various markets, titled Ninjascope: The Magic World of Ninjas, Watari the Conqueror, and Watari and the Fantastiks. The ninja Akakage and his sidekicks Aokage (played by child star Yoshinobu Kaneko) and Shirokage wander around feudal Japan fighting evil dudes, crazy wizards, and giant monsters. Mitsuteru Yokoyama created the manga Masked Ninja Akakage (Red Shadow) in 1966, which became a Toei tokustatsu series in 1967 that ran 52 episodes.
