2The Yodare-Azuki Ceremony2007-07-2623 minYears before the tournament, Gennosuke Fujiki was the stoic star pupil of the Kogan dojo, and Seigen Irako was a brash young samurai seeking fame and an audience with the dojo's master.

4A Children’s Song2007-08-0923 minFor years, the tormented Lady Iku believed her body was cursed. Children mocked her and the masses fled at her approach.

The only thing certain is that the mysterious killer is a finely trained hunter with a taste for Kogan blood.
