Basilisk

Trama

In 1614 AD, the long-standing rivalry between the Iga and Kouga ninja clans, previously held in check by a ceasefire, is reignited. Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, seeking to resolve the succession dispute between his two grandsons, orders a deadly battle royale. Each clan must send ten of its best warriors to fight to the death, with the winning clan determining the next shogun and securing the Tokugawa government's favor for a thousand years. Gennosuke Kouga, heir to the Kouga clan, and Oboro Iga, heir to the Iga clan, find themselves caught in the conflict, as they are deeply in love and had hoped their marriage would bring lasting peace between their people.
