Ninja Scroll: The Series

Fourteen years after his legendary battle against the immortal Himuro Genma and the nefarious Shogun of the Dark, Kibagami Jubei wanders the land of Japan as a masterless swordsman, seeking purpose in a world still haunted by darkness. His travels lead him to a remote village, where he encounters Shigure, a sheltered priestess who has never ventured beyond her home. Intrigued by her innocence and curiosity, Jubei briefly lets his guard down. Tragedy strikes when a ruthless group of demons attacks the village, laying waste to everything Shigure holds dear. In the chaos, Jubei acquires the Dragon Jewel, a mysterious stone that possesses unimaginable power. This fateful encounter thrusts him back into the heart of conflict, as the jewel marks him as a prime target for the demon clans now hunting him and the young priestess. As Shigure, along with the wise monk Dakuan and the spirited young thief Tsubute, embarks on a quest to reach the sanctuary of Yagyu, they quickly realize the gravity of their situation. With two powerful demon clans converging on them, Dakuan knows they must seek out Jubei once more. He implores the wandering swordsman to protect Shigure and guide them safely to their destination. Reluctantly, Jubei finds himself drawn back into the fray, grappling with his own demons while striving to protect the innocent. As the group navigates treacherous landscapes and battles formidable foes, they uncover the true nature of the Dragon Jewel and its connection to Shigure's destiny. With danger at every turn, alliances will be tested, and sacrifices will be made. Jubei must confront not only the demons pursuing them but also the shadows of his past. In a world where darkness threatens to engulf all, the bonds forged between Jubei, Shigure, and their companions will be put to the ultimate test. Together, they must fight to reclaim the light and protect what remains of their world.
