Three connected stories of samurai from medieval Japan. On the first, Kintaro, a buff eight-year-old, discovers his destiny. On the second, Watanabe no Tsuna, a samurai warrior in his prime fights a demon that\'s been terrorizing a gate in Kyoto, and on the third he\'s recruited by Minamoto no Raiko to follow a magical floating skull to a dilapidated haunted house. All these lead into next week, when the heroes will come together to fight the greatest demon in Japan\'s history: Shuten-d\\u014dji.
\\n\\nThe creature is the aspidochelone! A napping turtle! Who might be the devil!
