Description:
The malevolent Hikita clan returns from the dead, seeking to complete an ancient curse against the Satomi clan. Their goal: to restore their warlord's face using the skin of Princess Shizu. In their attempt to capture her, the clan murders her family, but Princess Shizu manages to escape. She assembles eight samurai warriors, each wielding a powerful magic crystal, led by Dosetsu. Together, they must rescue the surviving members of her court and avenge her family, battling undead warriors, evil spirits, alluring yet deadly women, and a giant centipede along the way.
