Daiji, the local executioner, slays Takeshige and his wife, but with his dying breath, Takeshige swears vengeance from beyond the grave, stating Even if my body gets rotten, my soul shall live to take your life. Takeshige exacts bloody revenge as his ghost possesses and dominates the bodies of others. The ghost begins to leave a trail of bloody corpses.Kaede, Takeshiges younger sister, is rendered homeless after her brothers death.
