Death Frenzy

シグルイ

In 1629, during the Edo period, the cruel daimyo Tokugawa Tadanaga organizes a martial arts tournament with a terrifying twist: the contestants must fight with real swords instead of wooden ones. The first match pits Fujiki Gennosuke, a one-armed swordsman, against Irako Seigen, a blind and lame samurai.

Both men were once disciples of Iwamoto Kogan, a master known as Japan's greatest swordsman. Their rivalry for the succession of the Kogan-ryuu dojo and the hand of Kogan's daughter Mie turned into a deep-seated hatred, leading to the injuries that now mark their bodies.

The story follows the chain of violence and ambition that brought them to this desperate point, exposing the brutality hidden beneath the samurai code.
