Izo (2004) commences in 1865, during the twilight of the Shogunate, a period when the ruling power was still formidable enough to exact retribution from its adversaries. The story revolves around Izo, a skilled assassin serving Hanpeida, a lord from Tosa who supports the Imperial cause. After eliminating numerous men loyal to the Shogun, Izo is apprehended and subjected to crucifixion. Rather than meeting his end, Izo's fury catapults him through the dimensions of time and space, landing him in contemporary Tokyo. Here, he becomes one with the city's marginalized, transforming into a more lethal and refined killing machine, driven by the enduring rage from his past ordeals. His vengeance is directed towards the current authorities, who are successors to those who once sought his demise, and his weapon of choice remains the sword.
