Episode One follows a reckless, haphazard samurai who serves as the battle-hungry sidekick to an ancient master and his monkey companion. Sent to investigate a zombie outbreak on the far edge of their territory, the samurai throws himself into impossible fights with the confidence of a man who has already accepted death more than once. What begins as a village plague becomes something far worse when they discover a demonic warrior from an evil neighboring enemy clan using the dead as the opening strike in a larger war.
