Substory

After Kagami’s incident, Moriya cursed his own lack of skill and once more set out on a journey of training.
One day, only six months later, he felt a familiar current of energy from far away. Yet it was somehow different from what he knew. It was vast. It was ominous. And it was malignant.
Beneath clouds that refused to lift, and with questions rising unbidden in his heart, Moriya resolved to seek the truth and confront his past. Thus he once again set his sights on Hell’s Gate.

	One tale has ended. One age has drawn to a close. The ancient gate separating life and death has vanished, peace has returned once more. For the swordsman of the Bakumatsu, what fate lies ahead in the new age? And so, a new age begins...	一つの物語は終わった一つの時代は終わった生死を分かつ太古の門は去り世に再び平穏の時代が訪れるであろう “幕末”を生きた剣士たちは来るべき時代をいかに生き抜くであろうかそしてまた一つの時代がはじまる			So ends one story. So ends an era. The ancient gate between life and death is no more, bringing a new age of peace. And for the warriors of the Bakumatsu, what trials might this new age bring? And so it begins...
