Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of 11th-century Japan's Heian period, this anime explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the blurred lines between humanity and the supernatural. The narrative follows Kaidomaru, a woman fighting in disguise as a man, driven by a vow to avenge her lost love, Raikou. As one of the famed "Four Devas," she confronts malevolent spirits that linger in the natural world and ultimately faces a tragic figure from her past: a princess corrupted by an ancient curse. The story unfolds within a richly detailed historical setting, blending folklore with action as Kaidomaru navigates a world where duty and personal vendetta intertwine. It offers a thoughtful exploration of grief and the complexities of vengeance within a visually compelling and atmospheric environment.
