Genji: Days of the Blade, known in Japan as Genji: Kamui Sōran (GENJI -神威奏乱-, GENJI -Kamui Sōran?, lit. Genji: the Godly Disturbance), is an action game that was released on the PlayStation 3 platform.
Genji: Days of the Blade takes place three years after the end of Genji: Dawn of the Samurai. The Heishi clan, seemingly vanquished at the end of Dawn of the Samurai, has returned, its military strength bolstered by the use of unholy magic that allows its legions of soldiers to turn into hulking demons. Yoshitsune and his stalwart friend Benkei must do battle with the newly-restored Heishi army; this time, however, they gain two powerful allies in their war—the priestess Shizuka, and the spear wielder, Lord Buson. Like the previous game, it is based on Japanese story. The game is infamous for starting the "Giant Enemy Crab" meme, after the producer referred to the game as "based on famous battles, which took actually took place in ancient Japan" while demoing a battle with a "giant enemy crab".

Famous quotes containing the words days and/or blade:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And a wandering beauty is a blade out of its scabbard.
You know how dangerous, gentlemen of threescore?
May you know it yet ten more.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
