Down-on-his-luck veteran Tsugumo Hanshirō enters the courtyard of the prosperous House of Iyi. Unemployed, and with no family, he hopes to find a place to commit seppuku—and a worthy second to deliver the coup de grâce in his suicide ritual. The senior counselor for the Iyi clan questions the ronin’s resolve and integrity, suspecting Hanshirō of seeking charity rather than an honorable end. What follows is a pair of interlocking stories which lay bare the difference between honor and respect, and promises to examine the legendary foundations of the Samurai code.

"Been using ShadowCine for months now. Never had issues. The 4K quality is unreal for a free site."
"Really solid. Fast servers, good quality. Would love a watchlist feature but otherwise perfect."
"Great quality, switched to Server 2 and it worked even better. Only wish there were more subtitle options."
"Way better than the paid services I've tried. Clean interface and loads in seconds."
"Good for newer movies but older titles sometimes don't load. Server 2 is usually best."
"This is hands down the cleanest free streaming site I've ever used. Premium feel without the price."
