''Ganryu'' is a 1999 side-scrolling HackAndSlash / Platformer action game made by Visco Corporation, under the Creator/NeoGeo system.
A heavily fictionalized re-telling of the legend of UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi and his legendary duel against UsefulNotes/SasakiKojiro, ''Ganryu'' re-imagines Miyamoto Musashi as a samurai MagicKnight with supernatural powers, and a {{kunoichi}} appearantice named Suzume under his tutelage. Meanwhile, Sasaki Kojirō is apparently... a demon?

** The first game's fifth boss. After confronting Sasaki Kojirō at the exit of a cavern, Kojirō then releases a green-skinned demon made from fusing [[BodyOfBodies multiple cursed souls into a single body]] as a boss. Said boss however is built into a wall and immobile, but the difficulty comes from trying to hit it's sole weakness, it's [[AttackOnTheHeart purple pulsating heart]].
** Kojirō himself in his final phase in the sequel. His first demon form is extremely mobile, but upon defeat he turns into a demonic effigy some fifty meters tall, one who curiously doesn't move about. And Miyamoto Musashi will need to reach his weak spots on his chest and head using [[BossArenaIdiocy conveniently-placed floating platforms]].
* {{Steampunk}}: While the first game have some hints of steampunk tech (like the Yasha-HIme mech), the sequel brings them ''all'' out, from mechanized platforms to factories full of machines, hover-cycles and airships.
* SteppingStonesInTheSky: The second game has a stage where Musashi falls down a pit, alongside some rocks. Where he then climbs upwards by jumping from one rock to another, and oddly enough there are occasional enemy ninja on those rocks as well.
* TechnicolorNinjas: Practically all the human-type mooks are ninja, and they come in a wide variety of colours that denotes their abilities. Navy [[TheGoomba goomba]]-grade ninja, red ninja who chuck rocks, green ninja archers, . and so-on.
* UnroboticReveal: For some of the bosses, like Yasha-hime and the giant form of Sasaki Kojirō. Their external appearances look robotic enough, until after taking enough damage, their skin and faces cracks open revealing flesh inside.
