His name is Miyamoto Musashi, a famous swordsman, who never has lost a single fight in infinite duels. He even defeated three Yoshioka brothers which ahead, gave him tremendous fame.
It is revealed that Musashi has fought the eleven for a challenge to procure a certain box. He gets the box as promised for thirty-three days. To ensure the respect of the deadline, a disciple named Kaizen is sent with him, so to bring back the box after the given time.
The box contains some oni gauntlet which would give Musashi tremendous supernatural power. Musashi joins a group of people for a mission. The Mission is to defeat a rebel scout named Lemon.
With the help of Genma’s evil power ( Genma once had wiped out the Oni box), Lemon was able to kidnap an entire village and keep them at work in a gold mine. To ensure the availability of weapons to fight his enemies, Lemon was the only one to have access to the mine.
On his hunt, Musashi has the company of a skilled swordsman named Matsuki Kensuke. They also had the company of Lemon’s discipline named Gensai. Gensai would give them knowledge about Lemon’s fight tactics.
Upon reaching the mine, Musashi was shocked to see three Yoshioka brothers as he had already killed them in the past, however, they were reanimated by Lemon with the help of Genma’s power.

Analysis and Review
Onimusha anime brings back the nostalgic memories of many people around the world. The anime is the adaptation of an old game. It also focuses on supernatural elements which bring a lot of thrill to viewers.
Onimusha shows how a cold-blooded samurai like Musashi also possesses a soft heart as he saves the girl named Sayo and puts himself in trouble.
Greed also plays the main role in the anime. As Sayo, a young girl finds a piece of gold, the entire village fights over to get it, which ultimately leads to a skirmish among the villagers. A lot of people were killed in that skirmish.
