Shadows of the Past

Within the darkness of the cave, Taro faces off against his most daunting foe yet - the oni warlord from before!

Although wounded, Taro taps into new depths of power. But just as their climactic duel begins, the warlord calls for backup.

Emerging from the shadows appears a mysterious masked figure clad in ancient armor. With a single attack, he bests Taro effortlessly.

The others engage this terrifying new villain but are easily overwhelmed. It is clear he possesses unfathomable power and evil skill.

Finally unmasking, he reveals himself as Akuma - the traitorous ninja who led the conspiracy against Taro centuries ago.

Akuma gloats about being resurrected to finish what was started long ago. With the samurai clans now under his command, victory is assured.

As Akuma and his cohorts depart victorious, a gravely injured Taro learns the truth - to stand a chance, he must regain his full Demon King abilities!
