Izo
“The world never can be changed.”
ActionDramaFantasy
Izo is an assassin in the service of a Tosa lord and Imperial supporter. After killing dozens of the Shogun's men, Izo is captured and crucified. Instead of being extinguished, his rage propels him through the space-time continuum to present-day Tokyo. Here Izo transforms himself into a new, improved killing machine.
VIBE
A hyper-violent, reality-bending fever dream. It's a relentless onslaught of stylized gore and existential rage, a psychedelic trip through time and space fueled by pure, unadulterated fury. Prepare for sensory overload.
