Honor: Seppuku

elventesai
After beheading the warlord Ima Yoshimoto, ninja-samurai Hiryu experiences the mystical "quickening" - his soul merging with his blade. When he attacks his own general in defense of an innocent child, Hiryu is forced to commit seppuku by his clan. But death isn't the end; it's just the beginning of his journey. Trapped in a mysterious time loop, Hiryu awakens repeatedly at the moment of Yoshimoto's execution. With each cycle, he gains insight into the true nature of honor, the corrupt leadership of the Oda clan, and his own hidden origins. As memories from his forgotten childhood surface, Hiryu discovers he is actually the son of the Shogun of the Mitshurumo Mountain Clan - where honor means accepting responsibility, not demanding suicide from subordinates. Through countless deaths and rebirths, Hiryu must perfect his skills, expose corruption, and challenge the toxic concept of honor that pervades his adopted clan. His ultimate goal: to return to his true father's clan and establish a legacy of honor based not on ritualistic death, but on genuine responsibility and wisdom.
