In Japan during the time of the samurai, a consequential drama is unfolding: General Akuma, one of the most influential figures in the empire, seems determined to betray the emperor and take his place, despite both sharing a dark secret: the thirteenth prophet. Meanwhile, the silent Takeo, a ronin (a samurai without a master), wanders the land in search of his origins, accompanied only by a student. However, when they come to the aid of a group of travelers who are being attacked by bandits, their fate changes fundamentally. A gripping epic that perfectly blends dramatic action, an exotic culture, and stunning landscapes into a unique magical adventure.
