Counted as one choice

Taking this set off the shelf is one decision, so every ranking on this site counts it once: 2 visits, not 3 picks. Where the question is about films rather than choices, the set opens up and all three count.

102 different box sets have been taken

What is in The Samurai Trilogy
Spine Film Director Year Reached by As a single film
14 Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto Hiroshi Inagaki 1954 2 0
15 Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple Hiroshi Inagaki 1955 2 0
16 Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island Hiroshi Inagaki 1956 2 0

3 of these films have never been taken on their own: every visit that reached them arrived through a set. That gap is what "counted once" costs a ranking, and what opening the sets up recovers for coverage.
