In a solemn candle-lit temple,
Inshiro Miyamoto, the wise and skilled Official Weapons
Forger to the Shogunate, bears a glistening newly minted
katana before his wide-eyed son of 16 seasons, Usagi
Miyamoto. Inshiro prophesizes that Usagi shall be the
last of the Official Weapons Forgers. Usagi vows to
create the most powerful sword in eternity. Inshiro
believes him. Years later, Usagi Miyamoto has indeed taken his late
father's place as the Official Weapons Forger to the
Shogunate Mishima. Unfortunately, Mishima rules his
prefecture with an iron fist and a bloody sword. He
demands that Usagi create for him a weapon powerful
enough to crush the Ebihara Clan--a growing league of
farmers, artisans, and warriors dedicated to
overthrowing the brutal Mishima regime. Unbeknownst to the greedy Mishima, Usagi Miyamoto has
spent the past 15 seasons roaming the world in a quest
for materials to build his all-powerful sword. From
Haitian voodoo priests, to dark Celtic sects, to
Malaysian Dream tribes, Usagi has cultivated a vast
template of mystic secrets for his sacred Daikatana. He
does not intend for the valuable weapon to go to the
bloody hands of Mishima. However, when the spectacular
sword is finished, Usagi realizes he has forged not only
a time-wandering device, but also the ultimate weapon of
universal destruction. Help him bury it forever before
he commits ritual seppuku!! |
