Substory

Zantetsu had imparted every technique he could to his beloved grandson, then left his village, knowing he would never return. His days were numbered. Such was the price of a lifetime of combat. Very little time remained before his body would fail him.

And yet, he was determined to let his final flower bloom, and headed once more toward Hell's Gate, where he would inevitably find other strong warriors.

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...
