In feudal Japan, a shadow of vengeance stalks the blood-soaked roads. Kinnosuke Nakamura portrays Ogami Itto, the former shogunate executioner who is framed for treason and sees his clan slaughtered. With nothing left but his infant son, Daigoro, he embraces the path of the demon and becomes a sword for hire, pushing his son in a wooden cart as he sells his lethal skills to the highest bidder. Their grim journey is a relentless ballet of violence and sorrow, as Itto seeks to uncover the conspiracy that destroyed his life while protecting the only family he has left. Directed by Tadashi Ogasawara, this stark and atmospheric action epic masterfully blends brutal samurai showdowns with poignant drama, painting a haunting portrait of a man bound by honor yet condemned to walk a road of endless carnage.
