We walk the path of meifumado, the Buddhist hell of demons and damnation, to achieve a private vendetta: to lay rest to the tragedy that has set father and son upon the assassin's road - a dastardly plot hatched by Retsudo of the Yagyu Clan, who longed to take up the post as the Shogun's executioner.

Lone Wolf and Cub! Daigoro, we enter meifumado!
