A sequel of sorts to the 2013 film which offered a fantastical take on the true events of the Akō incident, Blade of the 47 Ronin takes place hundreds of years later with an evil wizard (Dan Southworth) coming to power and looking to kill off the last descendant of the original 47 Ronin who alone is destined to destroy him and prevent his rise to power.

NCIS: Los Angeles - Murder of Crows television review

Anna Akana guest-stars as a former NCIS tech whose life, along with that of a missing NCIS agent from Key West, is in danger. While evidence initially seems to point to the missing agent as the mole who may have ruined NCIS’ case against the same arms dealer after Rhea Moretti (Akana), the truth is he has been working hard to save the life of a source within the criminal organization. Akana is fun here, working a bit of herself into the character with stand-up along with references to therapy and, of course, cats. Surviving the ordeal, and proving her worth, you have to wonder if we’ve seen the last of the abrasive yet adorable Moretti (I’m hoping not). The episode also features the expected ongoing team drama with Callen (Chris O’Donnell) fretting over buying a house and Kensi (Daniela Ruah) working to convince Fatima (Medalion Rahimi) to explore life outside of work.
