Overview

Jubei Kibagami has always been the master dealer of death, but in rescuing a ninja woman from a monster he sets loose a chain of events that puts death in his own veins and sends them on a nightmarish odyssey through a surreal and devil infested ancient Japan. How do demonic possessions, an annihilated village and a man Jubei thought safely buried in his past all connect? If Jubei can't piece the blood-soaked clues together, his only consolation will be that he won't live to regret it for very long! Prepare your mind and steel your gut for the insanely gore-packed orgy of violence that still stands alone and unchallenged as the ultimate anime action feature. (Source: Sentai Filmworks)

Synopsis 日本語

仕えるべき主をもたぬ「はぐれ忍び」牙神獣兵衛は、望月藩お抱えの甲賀組忍びでくノ一の陽炎を偶然助ける。彼女は、下田村に広まった疫病の原因を解明するために仲間たちと一緒に潜入したところを、謎の忍び軍団・鬼門八人衆に襲われたのだ。仲間はすべて殺され、生き残ったのは彼女のみ。陽炎を助けたために、鬼門八人衆に狙われることになった獣兵衛は、その最中、公儀隠密・濁庵の罠にはめられ、敵の陰謀を探る羽目になる。その中で獣兵衛は、みずからがはぐれ忍びとなった過去の因縁と向き合っていく。
