In a world of darkness and magic, power hungry warlords battle one another for control of feudal Japan. At the height of the chaos, the noble princess Yukihime is kidnapped. Now, one lone swordsman, Samanosuke boldly volunteers to rescue and avenge the princess. But even Samonosuke does not realize the desperation of his mission. An entire legion of demon warriors stands between them, the princess and triumph.

EIROKU 3 (AD 1560)
SUMMER...
Yoshimoto Imagawa, a powerful warlord of Saruga, leads an immense army from Saruga toward Kyoto (in those days the capital of Japan). Yoshimoto's ambition is to unify Japan and crown himself its sole king. On the march, the army halts on the plain of Okehazama in Owari to rest for the night. This changes Yoshimoto's - and Japan's - destiny forever.

A troop of only 2,000 soldiers, led by Nobunaga Oda, a warlord of Owari makes a surprise attack on Yoshimoto's camp. In a desperate battle, Nobunaga's legions defeat the invaders and slay Yoshimoto. (This historical event is known as the Battle of Okehazama.)

Just as Nobunaga is exulting in his victory, an arrow from one of Yoshimoto's soldiers pierces his throat. He falls to the ground in a death of struggle.
A young man watches this from a remote hill. His name is Samanosuke Akechi. He is marked by destiny...

ONE YEAR LATER...
Strange incidents are occurring in Inabayama Castle in Mino prefecture. Soldiers and workers are disappearing without a trace. Worried by these inexplicable events, Princess Yuki sends a plea for help to Samanosuke. At once, he races to the castle. But he arrives too late. Yuki has been kidnapped!
At the same time, enemy troops are attacking the castle. Leading the army - risen from certain death and astride a fierce warhorse - is Nobunaga!
It's time for action! Samanosuke vows to rescue Yuki with the help of his partner kunoichi* Kaede and defeat Nobunaga and his army of demon warriors.
