He is the spirit of Vengeance.
Majin, monster of terror. Majin, Hideous idol
and the wrath of god given form.
Crossed arms reveal it’s true face. Grotesque shogun, twisted in distaste.
Lord Hana-basa
Feudal boss, a good man. He rules with a gentle hand.
Samon-O-suke
Treacherous chamberlain sets the stage for a coup d’etat
Gen-O-cide
Of the Hanabasa clan. Kogenta aims to foil their plan.
Narrow escape…
Some vassals manage/To evade/Prince & princess/Seeking exile.
Forbidden territory they seek, priestess in the wood so deep.
Awaiting their eighteenth birthday, waiting to make Samonosuke pay.
Villagers used in slave labour by a brutal sadistic leader.
Revolution is waiting for it’s trigger to be pulled by Hanabasa’s retainers.
Shinobu warns of/Majin’s wrath/Murderous rage/Priestess is slain
Samonosuke deploys a group to destroy the Majin idol.
A chisel of substantial girth, purposed to stay the god’s rebirth.
Between it’s eyes, the tool is driven. Blood pours from ancient rock.
Horrified they attempt to flee. They’re swallowed by heaving earth.
Daimajin awakens, spurred on by the sacrifice.
On to Samonosuke’s stronghold, which he promptly destroys.
Oh, spirit of vengeance. Oh wrath of god given form.
Only the tears of the princess can rebuke it’s terror.
