Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Revived by a supernatural force and bound to a magical Oni Gauntlet after a fatal encounter with demons, the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi fights through an Edo-era Kyoto overrun by the Genma to stop a reality-altering conspiracy.

Set in feudal Japan, Onimusha: Way of the Sword follows the legendary wandering samurai Miyamoto Musashi as he seeks out master swordsmen to test his strength. After defeating the master of the prestigious Yoshioka School, Musashi faces a vengeful group of students before crossing paths with his great rival, Sasaki Ganryu. Before their duel can truly begin, supernatural demonic creatures known as the Genma ambush and kill both men. Musashi wakes up in the depths of Hell, where a mysterious Man in White forces a mystical Oni Gauntlet onto his arm and resurrects him in the mortal realm.

Bound to the gauntlet that sustains his life, Musashi travels to a corrupted Kyoto to purify sanctuaries and seal demonic rifts. He teams up with Ono Takamura, the guardian of the Oni Gate, and an assistant named Izumo no Okuni, while also encountering a transformed Ganryu who wields a similar gauntlet. As the journey unfolds, a companion named Shizuka emerges from the artifact to reveal a startling truth: the Man in White is actually Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a legendary and dangerous military strategist once imprisoned by the Oni. Musashi must master his unwanted power, confront his corrupted rival, and fight to stop the spreading malice threatening the mortal world.
