A broken man looking for death finds a woman looking for vengeance instead. The show swallows you whole with its refusal to soften anything, not the violence, not the grief, not the fact that some wounds don't close. It's gekiga unfiltered: cheap production, unlimited brutality, and a vision so committed to human wreckage that sentiment becomes obscene.
A karate fighter comes back from World War II and goes to work for the yakuza, all the while searching for a man with enough strength to kill him. He goes on to win the karate championship. After that he teams up with an Italian woman who wants revenge on the Nazis responsible for killing her family. The story runs across two episodes in a 1990 action OVA.
