## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn, Nagasaki. A single katana flashes from a corpse’s skeletal grip.

A dead warlord claws up from hell to raise an undead legion and topple the shogunate. One ronin’s sword stands between resurrection and ruin.

Zatoichi-era chanbara meets zombie siege in a single, blood-spiked frame.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, raw, unhinged
