Overview
Some tips and a video of my Insane run in case you are having troubles with it and want to see a successful run.
The Run
Things to note:
Hunter’s Right in the eye saved me a lot of grief by weakening enemies.
Hunter finished off enemies so the Kensei could focus on tougher enemies.
In a pinch, remember that Hunter can use Traps to stop enemies.
If you move only one space, the Hunter can attack with 2 Die, if he doesnt move, 3 Die.
Finish off Katana Ronins with the Hunter to avoid their revenge attack (it hurts a lot if you finish them off with Kenseis.
If you use Heavy Strike on them to kill them, the revenge attack wont trigger.
Those Kabuto Helmets saved me in the final fight.
Fire Pots DO carry over (see my last 3 fights) even if you use them, I think they do get deleted between merchants, so buy one or two at the final merchant.
Provocation cards helped me lots to move archers/muskets into my Kenseis without the danger of going to them and then getting surrounded. In this run, if you get surrounded, you die.
Heavy Strike cards are a MUST.
Its all about positioning but also how to get to a good position fast, if you are in melee, do you feel lucky enough to disengage to get to your spot even if you might get hit? Concentration helps here.
Luck cards to turn misses into hits helped my Hunter a lot, I wonder if I should have put +1Dice into my card deck and if it would have helped.
The Kensei abilities move you forward, be careful about this, you might step into a surrounded position but if the enemy cannot be pushed back and you land a successful attack, he still attacks twice which is awesome.
If you are wondering how to get 2 Legend Kenseis and a Hunter, I crafted one Kensei and the Hunter and got the other Legend Kensei from Insane Samurai Scenario. You can get a Legend Taisho from Insane Odawara scenario which you can use instead of one Kensei. Selling other fully leveled Blue and Legend units can get you the dust you need.

The failed Run
Just for your entertainment, my first run ended in failure close to the end because I let myself get surrounded.
