Synopsis
Amid Japan's revolution, apprentice Shizuma battles anti-shogunate ronin to prevent the capital's bloody downfall.
The Tokugawa Shogunate is losing strength, all while terrorist "anti-shogunate" ronin wander without a master but with one goal: bring down the past and usher in a new age. A century and a half ago, the nation of Japan was undergoing a revolution. Can the young apprentice Shizuma turn the tide, or will the capital be stained crimson red with the blood of innocents?
