Japan Night — a mythic short of blood, orbs, and vows

Siblings Yoshi and Kiru defy a warlord uncle to protect a mystical chest and their lineage

The Legacy

A tale of power, betrayal, and ancestral duty

Yoshi and his sister Kiru are heirs to the Hiragi legacy. Their uncle Chikara seizes a mystical chest containing a divine orb and, intoxicated by its power, unleashes violence—killing their School Master and tearing the family apart.

Years later, alliances form as the siblings infiltrate Chikara's stronghold. They face Kama, their conflicted cousin turned against them, and struggle to reunite both their family and the sacred artifact that binds their ancestral lines.

This is a story of siblings who must choose between vengeance and redemption, between the weight of their ancestors and the future they must forge.

A Unique Vision

Mythic Martial Arts

Grounded choreography meets spiritual motifs. The divine orb and ancestral visions elevate action into legend.

Ancestral Responsibility

`Bring together the lines of men` echoes throughout—a philosophical spine about duty and legacy.

Stylized Storytelling

From ninja assaults to cherry blossom visions, every frame serves the myth and the emotion.

Epic Set Pieces

Waterfall training. Snowfield rescues. The siege of a warlord's mansion. Cherry blossom visions that blur reality and spirit. Each sequence pushes the boundaries of martial cinema while staying true to the film's mythic heart.
