When Souten Kouro has Cao Cao as a Cunning Warlord for battling for power and unification of China, Hanzou no Mon has Ieasu Tokugawa as for Japan. Colossal Battles are often shown. Epic!

Both are historical mangas covering the aspect of ancient feudal warfare in the Sengoku era of Japan and Three Kingdoms period in China respectively. In Path of the Assassin, ninjas work behind the scenes to carry out political assassinations and sabotage, while in The Ravages of Time, there's a group of mercenary assassins called the Handicapped Warriors doing the dirty work. PotA focuses on the exploits of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hattori Hanzo exclusively, while TRoT gives a more rounded coverage of the various warring factions. (Please be warned that there are a lot of sexual content in Path of the Assassin.)

Satsuma Gishiden and Path of the Assassin are Gekiga (historical manga) that describe the "spirit" of medieval Japan. Satsuma Gishiden is focused on the Samurai code of conduct/honor, while Path of the Assassin investigates the life and way of thinking of Suppa (ninja). They have a similar way of putting the emphasis on the emotions of the warriors and warlords. They also describe in detail the power struggle and the allegiance relationships between japanese feudal lords, samurai, warriors, commoners.

Same author and artist, same genre. Lone Wolf and Cub came first.
