Well, it’s back to basics, and back to black-&-white, with this third installment in the saga of the popular Samurai independent series.

It’s been a year since Hotachi disappeared, following his last clash with the black-ops organization Splinter. During that time, the group’s leader, Velvet Black, has managed to establish a state of martial law throughput the City. But it has come at a high cost, for Hotachi’s former employers are now allied with their own greatest enemy, Dr. Arkoff. The goal of this unholy union is the creation of a new, invincible army of clones, an immortal master race. So far, the only resistance to Splinter’s takeover has been the rebel Black Dove faction, an underground network of freedom fighters. But without Hotachi, without a champion for their forces, and the citizens, to rally around, Black Dove doesn’t stand a chance.
