Killing

Mokunoshin Tsuzuki (Sosuke Ikematsu), a young wandering samurai without a master, stops in a village to protect its poor peasants and trains himself by crossing swords with Ichisuke (Ryusei Maeda). When an elderly samurai named Sawamura arrives to recruit warriors for the civil war, Tsuzuki joins him, despite initial reservations from Yu (Yū Aoi), Ichisuke's sister. However, a group of outlaws led by Sezaemon Genda arrive, and Tsuzuki ultimately kills Sawamura in a dramatic confrontation after being pursued by him.
