This is the story of a vagrant samurai – the solitary, savage and scrupulous Kiba – who arrives at a village to defend a beautiful, blind woman against a sinister plot. Her assailants then send against him another samurai, named Sana, who is without scruples. The fight between them will become personal, for the honor and love of the blind woman.

VIBE

A stoic, lone wolf samurai navigates a brutal world with grim determination. Expect sharp swordplay, quiet intensity, and a brooding atmosphere. This is classic jidaigeki with a focus on honor and consequence.
