Ancient feudal Japan was ruled by clans of Shoguns and their rule was absolute! They owned the land and the people on it, but one man they did not own was Shuranosuke Sakaki, the master swordsman. Bearing his distinctive "Scythes of Death" crest, he walks alone and unafraid, cutting a path through those who stand in his way. In this action-packed anime adventure, Shuranosuke is hired by the Tokugawa Shogunate to rescue Princess Mayu from the clutches of a group of bandit ninjas. They will stop at nothing to prevent him from succeeding and call on the undead spirits of the Seki Ninjas in Hell to assist them. <br />
