鬼切丸 Finished
Score0Votes
In the supernatural world of Onikirimaru, a profound and tragic destiny unfolds. Born to an ogre mother, the protagonist is a being of contradiction—a pure ogre in human form, arriving into the world clutching the legendary sword Onikirimaru, the "Ogre Slayer."
With no name of his own, he is known only by the blade he carries. Believing that exterminating all ogres from the human world is the key to becoming truly human himself, he embarks on a lonely and relentless journey. This anime explores his eternal hunt across the motherland of Japan, weaving a tale of identity, purpose, and the heavy price of a self-imposed destiny.
The narrative delves into themes of belonging, the nature of monsters, and the blurred line between hunter and hunted, all set against a backdrop of traditional Japanese folklore and supernatural conflict.
