Synopsis:
Set in 16th century Japan, the narrative unfolds during a period of intense political upheaval. Oda Nobunaga’s relentless expansion across the nation is enforced by Ginnai Doma, a former samurai transformed into an almost unstoppable force. Ginnai's brutal efficiency targets both rival ninja clans and those who resist Nobunaga's ambitions. Amidst this conflict, Shishimaru, a lone ninja from the Iga clan, embarks on a personal mission of vengeance. Driven by the loss of his fellow warriors, he relentlessly hunts Ginnai, seeking to end the immortal warrior’s reign of terror and deliver justice for his fallen comrades. The story explores themes of duty, revenge, and the cost of unwavering loyalty within a world fractured by ambition and war. The series presents a stark portrayal of conflict, emphasizing tactical combat and the psychological toll of relentless violence.
