'''''Blade of the Phantom Master''''' (Japanese: 新暗行御史, Hepburn: Shin Angyō Onshi, "New Secret Royal Agent")/(Korean: 신암행어사; RR: Sin Amhaeng-eosa) is a [[manhwa]] written by [[Youn In-wan]] and illustrated by [[Yang Kyung-il]]. It was published by [[Daewon C.I.]] in [[South Korea]] and [[Shogakukan]] in [[Japan]] from 2001 to 2007.
Shin Angyo Onshi (or Tale of the Phantom Blade Master) is the story of Munsu, one of the few surviving men of the fallen empire Jushin. He also happens to have been one of Jushin's Angyo Onshi, operatives who wandered the countryside in disguise, righting wrongs and triumphing over evil with the power of his magical medallion and an army of phantom soldiers. Despite the destruction of Jushin (by his own hand, so the stories go) Munsu carries out his duty out of a sense of loyalty to the king that he supposedly killed and a burning desire for revenge against the man who masterminded everything - Aji Tae. ▼

=== This series provides examples of: ===
* [[Action Girl]]: Sando, Marlene von Lucid and Miss Hwang.

* [[A Father to His Men]]: Munsu. {{spoiler|Every one of his subordinates held respect for him, and many wanted his forgiveness after they turned evil}}
* [[Actually, I Am Him]]: Subverted in the first chapter when the character the audience is led to believe is the Angyo Onshi is revealed to be the Evil Queen, and the [[Jerkass]] Munsu is revealed to be the the Angyo Onshi in disguise. Given a very disturbing and dark twist later on with Aji Tae and Munsu's friend the King.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The Movie follows the first three to four chapters of the Manga, and tells almost nothing about the actual plot of the series.
* {{spoiler|[[Anyone Can Die]]: Anyone remember Mong Ryong? Also the final battle. Borders on [[Kill 'Em All]]}}
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Munsu, who is perfectly fine lying and stealing, yet is a wonderful hero
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Dorso. Subverted in the fact that he {{spoiler|Doesn't think he can beat Won Sul after Won Sul beat his two friends [http://www.tenmanga.com/chapter/ShinAngyoOnshi39/163787-41.html in one swing]}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]: The prince from chapter three.
Line 22:
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Munsu, Won Sul, Aji Tae, face it, who doesn't have an awesome ''Korean'' name?
* [[Badass|Badasses]] abound:

** [[Badass Abnormal]]: Tae Yu. Originally, he was just a fast swordsman, before {{spoiler|becoming an all powerful summoner after training under Mito}}.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Aji Tae has been defeated and the world can begin to try and rebuild, but the fight came at the cost of Munsu and a majority of the supporting cast.}}
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Won Sul. {{spoiler|He has a horrible family after his close brother dies and his father believes that he is a hollow comparison, believing he should be the one who died, He kills the tiny little girl who he played with in a field when he was young. He kills former friends when they turn on him after the war because they can not get used to peace. Then he works with the lord only to discover he is Aji Tae. He then turns against him, only to be turned into a pin doll, then watch everyone be killed, and then to be banished to the other end of the country. Then he is brainwashed to work for the man he most hates, dies, and then is pulled back to become an immortal zombie who can not die no matter how much he wants to, then he is blown up again, and has the rest of his body turned into a giant rampaging monster, who is finally killed. And that's the short version.}}
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Sando has one on Munsu {{spoiler|and later, on Aji Tae}}
* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|The giant boob dragon that Won Hyo summons, Won Hyo himself when he is half demon, and Won Sul when he is monsterfied, and even to a lesser extent before that.}} Also, anything Lou does.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Munsu to Aji Tae, the first time literally {{spoiler|punching him into the future}}
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Jushin
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: This happens a lot later on.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Munsu at the end.}}
* [[Hero -Killer]]: {{spoiler|Aji Tae, he kills everyone.}}

* [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Nongae.

* [[Land of the Shattered Empire]]: The empire of Jushin was shattered into pieces before the series starts for unclear reasons, though it is heavily implied that Aji Tae, the [[Big Bad]], was responsible.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Aji Tae. His Light kills people.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Yeong Sil. Sure he means well with his inventions, but....
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
