Kai è un mezzosangue dalla natura poco chiara, indesiderato da tutti ma benvoluto dal signore locale, Asano. Davanti ai suoi occhi si svolgerà una lotta tra umano e disumano la cui prima vittima sarà proprio Asano, accusato di tentato omicidio dello shogun e quindi obbligato ad un suicidio per riparare il proprio onore. L'uomo in realtà era posseduto da un demone che trama nell'ombra. I 47 samurai rimasti orfani del proprio padrone (e quindi "ronin") decideranno di vendicarsi contro lo shogun e tutta la corte demoniaca che gira intorno a lui, ben consci che questo significherà una condanna a morte. A loro non potrà che unirsi nonostante le ritrosie iniziali anche Kai, che da anni è segretamente innamorato della figlia di Asano.
