The Hakkenden: Legend of the Dog Warriors

Finished

THE 八犬伝

In the midst of Japan's brutal feudal wars, the Awa clan faces annihilation from a rival clan empowered by demonic forces. Their desperate salvation becomes a profound curse when the family dog secures victory by delivering the enemy warlord's head, but then demands to marry the lord's daughter as its reward.

From this unnatural union, eight unborn pups are killed, only to be reincarnated as the eight legendary Dog Warriors, the Hakkenden. These souls are scattered, each walking a separate path of violence and retribution across the war-torn land. Their destinies slowly intertwine as they are drawn together to confront the demonic threats and fulfill their shared purpose.
