Hell's Paradise Synopsis: Jigokuraku
“Gabimaru the Hollow,” a ninja from Iwagakure Village
known for his cold demeanor, now finds himself on death row. Tired of death and
betrayal, he seeks death. However, no method of execution seems to work on him
because Gabimaru, although he won’t admit it, still has a reason to live. He
wants to return home and see his wife, the reason for his happiness and why his
job as an assassin began to get in the way. Therefore, he refuses to die.
Asaemon the Executioner, a famous killer of criminals, notices this and gives
the ninja a proposition. She wants Gabimaru to join an expedition to an island
south of Japan in search of the elixir of life, and in exchange she will
forgive him for all his crimes. However, this island is no ordinary place: it
is believed to be paradise.
