I used to be young and happy hitting that gong, but now after the murder of my wife and retainers, my son, Daigoro, and I seek our vengeance against the Yagyu clan, abandoning the way of the samurai and we travel the path to hell, a living demon of Meifumado. With no other way to avenge ourselves against the Yagyu clan, we now walk the assassin's road, a path of blood and corpses, slaughter and heartless cruelty. We who walk the demons path are no longer ordinary men.
