Plot Summary
Years after the fall of the samurai rebellion, Japan races toward modernization. The emperorโs military becomes more Westernized, and the spirit of the bushidล fades into myth. But in the mountains of Kyushu, a hidden clan of samurai still lives in secrecy, preserving the ancient code.
When Hiroshi Katsumoto, the son of the late Lord Katsumoto, uncovers a conspiracy to eliminate Japanโs last traditionalists, he sets out to defend their legacy.
Haunted by memories of Captain Nathan Algren, Hiroshi seeks guidance from Algrenโs hidden journalโpassed down in secrecy. The words of the fallen warrior inspire him to rise and lead a final stand.
As old enemies re-emerge and Japanโs soul stands at a crossroads, Hiroshi must decide: follow a dying codeโฆ or redefine what it means to be samurai.
โThe past may fade. But honor does not.โ
