Action drawn from the Ushio & Tora manga. Readable combat, faithful shonen vibe, yet repetitive level design and abrupt difficulty. Pleasant for fans, forgettable otherwise.

Yutaka Famicom exclusive based on the manga Ushio to Tora, released in September 1993 when the Famicom was at its very end of life in favor of the Super Famicom. That mix of a local manga license and late-release timing explains a very small print run and total absence in the West. Demand comes from late-Famicom collectors and fans of seldom-exported manga adaptations, making it a niche yet steady target.
