Demons hunger to walk the streets of Edo, and all that stands in their way are the fearsome warriors known as Demon Wardens. But when Izumo, their greatest swords- man, accidentally slays an innocent child, he vows never to spill blood again. Years pass, and Izumo has made a new life for himself as a Kabuki theatre matinee idol. A chance encounter with Tsubaki, a beautiful thief with a mysterious past, brings romance back into his life — and deadly danger! For signs and portents herald the rebirth of Ashura, Queen of the Demons. When she manifests, all Edo shall burn, and the demons shall have dominion over the Earth. And Izumo’s old rival from his Demon Warden days, Jaku, is for some reason helping them! Izumo is about to learn that Love can be Hell — Literally! Directed by the Japan Academy Prize-winning filmmaker Yojiro Takita (When the Last Sword Is Drawn, Onmyoji) and based on the hit play of the same title, Ashura is an eye-popping, CG-seasoned blend of old-fashioned swashbuckling action, fantasy, and romance.
