Prologue

The ancient order of the samurai, or bushi as they were called among them, were an elite class of warriors that lived during the founding of the major countries. They were known to have formidable spirits and even more formidable fighting skills and supernatural powers that was rumoured to come from mutations on themselves.

Samurais were like warriors for hire, lending their services to anyone from kings to villages haunted by monsters. With their silver swords, they fought beasts both of natural and magical origins. And their famous single edged swords of meteorite steel, the katana, was used against any humanoid creature… and occasionally, arseholes who didn't want to pay them.

Unfortunately, by the time the countries were founded, the world no longer needed them, or so they would let you think. In truth, people were afraid that the samurais would turn their back against them like a femme fatale, so they got rid of them, exiling them to the far confines of the planet. Nowadays, the samurais entered popular lore as heroes of fairy tales and legends told in the northern lands.

This is true of one particular samurai: Heishiro Mitsurugi of Bizen.

Listen now to his legend.
