Zombies appear all of a sudden in Kyoto during the samurai period.

 

A Samurai warrior, Gesutaro Kuzuyama, unexpectedly meets a zombie during patrol and is bitten by it.

 

His team, Shinsengumi (historically most well-known and popular Samurai warriors) captures and brings a zombie still alive back to their base. They notice that the zombie is an American, and manages to get the Westernized masterless deserter samurai, Ryoma Sakamoto, who was imprisoned, to talk to the zombie in English and successfully communicate.

 

Around the same time, the merchant of death, Kaufman trading company, which was transporting zombies, learns from an informer that the escaped zombie has been captured by Shinsengumi. So the master assassins are dispatched to destroy the evidence.

 

In the meantime, Kuzuyama, who was bitten by the zombie at the beginning, turns into a zombie at the perfect timing as assassins descend upon them. Kuzuyama pounces on anyone regardless of friend or foe, and spreads the zombie infection.

 

Zombies or Samurai, who will be left standing at the end?
