yea its pretty egregiously ahistorical, kinda like the 300 of samurai, or the anachronistic concept of ‘chivalry’ as applied to european knights. exactly as you said, a romanticisation.
It’s more inspired by chambara movies than by samurai history. Similar to how Red Dead Redemption is drawing from western movies more than cowboy history.
