About
You may like this if you want a hard-edged revenge tale with wandering fighters and a grim tone, somewhat in the lane of Rurouni Kenshin Part II: Kyoto Inferno or Under the Open Sky; Not for you if you dislike brutal setups or downbeat stories.
Pros: gritty revenge setup; strong outlaw trio; clear emotional stakes | Cons: violent premise; bleak mood; familiar revenge path
