Directed by James Jackson Leach•Launching May 2025

A Mythic Tale of Power and Redemption

When ninjas murder Ran Hiragi and steal the mystical Hiragi orb to empower the ruthless Chikara Oizumi, siblings Yoshi and Kiru embark on a journey to confront their enemy, reclaim the artifacts, and restore balance.

As Chikara wields supernatural power from divine orbs, the conflict escalates into an epic battle across glacial fields—ultimately forcing Kama, Chikara's own son, to make an impossible choice between family loyalty and stopping his father's reign of terror.

"True power lies in the individual and the spirit of one's ancestry"

This isn't simple revenge. These are impossible choices about legacy, hate, and redemption. A son kills his father, faces the hero with ultimate power, then chooses death over corruption.
