37,000 peasants perished in the Shimabara Revolt; among them, the leader of that uprising, Shiro Amakusa. More than a decade later, Amakusa rises from the dead, hell-bent on revenge. Resurrecting a ghastly army of living dead master swordsmen by way of an occult art called “Makai Tensho” (demonic transmigration), he sets his sights on overthrowing the Shoganate. Standing in their way is legendary samurai Jubei Yagyu, who will have to fight the reincarnation of his own father before the fierce final confrontation with Shiro Amakusa himself!
The film stars Yosuke Kubozuka (G0), Kumiko Asō (Pulse), Tetta Sugimoto (Outrage), Arata Furuta (Zebraman) and Masaya Kato (Crying Freeman).
