Hell’s Paradise (EPISODE 6)

Gabimaru the Hollow, a ninja from Iwagakure Village recognized for his unemotional demeanor and devoid of any warmth, finds himself on death row after being plotted against by his fellow comrades. He has grown exhausted of living a life of killing and treachery and desires nothing more than to depart from this world. Nevertheless, despite his seemingly impassive facade, Gabimaru secretly harbors a reason to exist – his beloved wife, the very person who caused him to soften and become ineffective in his line of work. With the hope of reuniting with her, Gabimaru refuses to succumb to death, frustrating all attempts of execution. Asaemon the Decapitator, a renowned executioner, comes across Gabimaru's plight and devises an offer. She agrees to secure a full pardon from the Shogunate for Gabimaru in exchange for his participation in an expedition to a southern Japanese island, where they seek the elixir of life that is rumored to be found there. However, this island is no ordinary land; it is believed to be Paradise. Nonetheless, the expedition team, consisting of members who are all marked for death, discovers that this island is shrouded in mystery, and they may not be entirely equipped to handle what they encounter during their expedition.
