Brutally wounded in his battle against the teddy bear-headed master swordsman Kuma, Afto awakens to find himself in the care of a village of people who have each been stricken by tragedy. Yet unlike Afro, instead of letting their lives become overpowered by the thirst of vengeance, they have embraced the teachings of The One and found inner peace. But their peaceful lives are soon to change forever - for wherever Afro Samurai journeys violence follows in his wake!
