Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell

In a world where samurai honor clashes with the ruthless realities of a darkening feudal Japan, “Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell” transports audiences into an epic tale of vengeance, survival, and the unbreakable bond between father and son. Set against the breathtaking but brutal landscapes of a land torn apart by bloodshed and betrayal, this gripping series follows the legendary assassin Ogami Itto, a former executioner, now wandering as a demon suspected of harboring a lasting curse.

Years after the tragic slaughter of his wife at the hands of a corrupt clan, Ogami finds his heart both hardened and softened by the love for his only son, Daigoro. Their bond is tested as they traverse treacherous territories filled with both allies and enemies. Daigoro, a precocious child with an innate understanding of the harsh world around him, is equipped not only with knowledge but also with the fortitude that belies his young age.
