AD 20XX-- D3 Corporation succeeds in resurrecting a human body.
At the same time, there are outbreaks of reanimated dead in multiple areas.
The undead spread throughout the world, attacking humans.
Those who are attacked become undead and hunt the living.
Society crumbles, looting grows rampant, and even family members kill each other.
The world was truly being engulfed by a calamity of madness.
I'm shootin' good today!
My turn next.
Shit!
What're you doing, dude?
Come on, what gives!
Give it here!
Let go!
Who the hell are you?
Hey!
You're a...
You kick ass, girl!
I'm tryin' to hide, here!
Go away, damn it!
I'm looking for a woman.
Her name's Saki.
Whoa, hold it now!
Think you could rein it in a little?
In this world, a man will die, crawl out of his coffin,
and devour his own wife and kids.
There's no need for living humans to kill each other.
Hey, this won't help us track down Saki.
Let's just blow this creepy joint.
C'mon.
Same goes for you.
Now, time to find a place to sleep.
Wait.
I know where to find the woman you seek.
What'd you just say?
You know about Saki?
I'm chasing Sugita.
Sugita? From D3 Corporation?
Yes. He's the researcher who turned this into a planet of zombies
thanks to his reanimation experiments.
According to what I found out, this Saki woman should be with him.
I'll take you there on one condition.
What condition's that?
I get to kill them both. End of story.
What do you think?
She wants you to take us there.
OneChanbara: The Movie
What exactly is life?
Cells preserve themselves, and multiply.
Is it to exist isolated from the outside world?
No.
Is it to be born, age, and decay?
No, it's not that either!
I've researched this for many years.
And I've finally resolved it.
Cells possess their own will.
They mix into blood and guide the dead to resurrection.
Yes, this innovation surpasses even the gods.
Well?
Do you see?
Aha...
Aha, aha!
You understand?
Are you awake?
Now, come over here.
That's right.
Come here and let me take a good look at your face.
Die!
Goddamned failure!
Ah, well...
There are plenty of replacements.
What my research needs is corpses with young, strong flesh.
And one other thing.
A pureblood Imichi, of the ancient line.
Ah, yes.
Where's Saki?
Where's Saki!
Saki?
Saki!!!
So what's your story?
Man, nothin' stinks the way blood does.
So how many have you eliminated so far?
You can stop calling me "you."
Sorry.
I'm Katsuji. What's your name?
Reiko.
Reiko...
The sullen one over there's Aya.
We've hunted down a ton of zombies.
That's something to be proud of.
Aya's from the Imichi Clan, and a slayer swordswoman.
I'm the brains of the operation.
The two of us can take down any enemy!
Right, Aya?
That's her way...
It wouldn't hurt her to at least say thanks once in a while.
It was a joke! Just a joke!
Come on, put that away!
Right, that's the way.
Right, right...
Looks like I said a little too much.
This seems quite promising.
Here we go.
Dinner's always better when it's been three days!
Not hungry?
It's her...
Don't take it personally.
She may not look it, but she appreciates you at least a little.
Still...
She's always like that... Since we met anyway.
Get it while it's fresh.
I've been with Aya a long time, but I've never seen her smile.
When they were kids, she watched her little sister kill their father.
Apparently it was a really bad scene.
She just doesn't smile. Or cry.
I guess Aya lost all emotion when that happened.
She hates her sister and only lives to get revenge.
That's how I see it.
Her father-killer sister's name is... Saki.
Saki is Aya's little sister.
When I'm with her, it's almost like I can hear it...
A bitter "cry of the spirit."
My little sister was kidnapped.
Saki and Sugita's people took her.
It was one hot summer day.
They just suddenly showed up.
I fought them!
Never mind me.
I just wanted to save my sister if I could.
But then Saki showed up.
They pulled me outta the way.
Then they took my sister.
Her name's Asami.
See? Cute, isn't she?
That's when I first met Aya.
We didn't say any words to each other, but our eyes said plenty.
We felt the same kind of sadness.
Her eyes looked so cold.
And we've been going around eliminating zombies ever since.
My daughter was killed by them.
Why did things have to get like this, anyway?
It wasn't that long ago you could eat warm food,
and your family would be at home.
Hey, what're you gonna do once you dispatch 'em?
If there are any survivors, I want to save them.
Sounds good.
Hey, good stuff.
You guys human? What're you doing here?
Well "hello" to you too.
I told you to stay inside!
We're just traveling.
Could we stay here for the night?
Do what you want.
But you'd be better off not going beyond here.
What happened?
What's with them?
Well, might as well get some sleep.
Ken.
Ken!
Run, Yuki!
Hurry!
Yuki...
Hold up! You're kidding me!
Go away!
Hey! I said wait!
Hey! Wait!
Hey! Keep away from me!
That wasn't very safe!
What if you'd hit me?
Wait up!
It's time for your meal.
There's nothing to fear.
Eat up.
Good girl...
I've decided to turn you into my ultimate masterpiece.
What's wrong?
There's nothing to fear.
Now come here.
I said, come here!
What's that look for?
Tell me!
I don't like bad girls!
I'll go look around.
That's nasty!
Wow!
No more delays.
This won't hurt much, Saki.
I'm sorry about earlier.
But don't worry. You'll be better soon.
Yes, much better than before.
It's all right.
This is yours, isn't it?
Don't worry.
We won't hurt you.
Come over here.
See, this is very important to me.
My daughter used to wear it.
Maria, don't go too far away.
Asami?
Is that you, Asami?
Don't you know me? I'm your brother!
You recognize me, right?
Asami!
Let the girl go!
Asami!
It's me, your brother! You know me, don't you?
Come on, recognize me!
No way...
Must be a bad joke!
Aya! Stop it!
She's... my sister.
It must've been really rough on you, to change you this much!
I'm sorry!
Sorry I couldn't save you...
When they showed up that time... I ran away.
I got scared and ran away!
I left you behind and ran...
Say something!
Please, forgive me!
Come on, wake up!
Saki... it's you...
Stand up!
Saki!
Maria! Hang on!
Hospital
Maria...
I'll go look for medicine!
Maria!
Maria...
Damn it.
Shit...
Whoa, just me.
Ah, shit!
It's no use.
Don't even joke like that!
Stay away from her!
She'll be one of them eventually.
If you hurt her, I'll shoot.
I mean it!
Lower your sword!
Not her...
I swear I won't let you kill her!
Thank goodness.
Aya!
Hurry! Go!
Let's go!
Hurry it up! This place is a zombie nest!
I can't leave her here.
Give it up! It's too late for her!
No!
You wanna be bait, fine! But I'm not staying.
I don't want to lose her the way I lost my daughter!
You mean...
I shot her...
I killed my daughter!
She wasn't your daughter anymore! She was a zombie!
That's not true!
Yes, it is.
I killed my sister when she became one of them.
I feel for you, but this is no time to be talkin' about that!
Get it together!
You wanna become a zombie too?
Let the dead rest.
That's what we fight for!
Let's go, Aya.
I think we can get away over that way.
You sure about this?
What?
Mama...
Hey!
I ain't scared.
Looks like it's time for the main course!
I've missed you, Aya.
Yes, your eyes see much.
Are you the one?
Stay out of this.
Aya, I searched for such a long time.
One day, I realized.
In order to complete my resurrection research,
I had to have your family, the Imichis.
I searched and searched, and then I found her.
A girl with pure Imichi blood.
But I wasn't able to meet you.
Your father prevented me.
So naturally, I dealt with him.
I wish you could have seen him, writhing on the ground like some ugly pig.
It's been ten years since then, and I've been looking for you ever since.
With the aid of my loyal servants, that is.
Saki...
You take Saki.
I'll take care of him.
Enough talk. Let the research begin.
Magnificent.
What a beautiful sight.
Sugita!
Who are you?
You took my sister!
Sister?
Which sister might that be?
Look at you. You're a disgrace.
Your life means nothing.
So now you die!
Bastard!
I'm a god. I rule the world!
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Serves you right.
Help me! Help me!
"Help me"?
Go apologize to everybody in hell!
Reiko!
Reiko...
You're hurt.
Reiko!
Die.
Why'd you kill our father?
All I wanted was to be strong.
This is a splendid katana, Oboro.
Of course, it's famous for being passed down through the years.
Now, show your father how strong you've become.
Begin!
Well done.
Your sister is very promising.
She was chosen to be our family's successor.
No need to be afraid.
You possess a magnificent power.
Do you want to be stronger?
I was always alone.
Because of you, I was tossed aside.
That's why I got stronger.
Why I killed our father.
Next I'll get rid of you too!
Aya!
Aya! I get to kill them both. End of story.
I get to kill them both. End of story.
I'm sorry! Sorry I couldn't save you...
I don't want to lose her the way I lost my daughter!
Let the dead rest.
That's what we fight for!
Saki...
Why can't I beat you?
You don't have to say any more.
If I just had power, I'd be like you...
I was scared to be alone.
I thought if I got stronger, I wouldn't have to be lonely anymore...
They feel warm.
Saki...
Big... sister...
Saki!
So, feel like killing some zombies?
