Basilisk: Volume 5 - The Shades of Night

Four more episodes of the Japanese action anime series based on the popular manga by Masaki Segawa. As this bitter war draws to a close, the cost of hatred weighs heavily on the remnants of both tribes. Confrontation in the night reveals Gennosuke's true intentions, as the hand of reconciliation is extended to the enemy. But death litters the road travelled by ninja feet. Impatience goads political intrigue to seek a more active role in this annihilation of two tribes, and the unseen finally comes to light as those that remain learn of the wager which unleashed this war upon them. But too much has been lost for either side to turn back. No mercy will be spared to the enemy. Contains episodes 17-20: 'Wandering Hearts', 'A Dawn Without Light', 'Conspiracy' and 'River of Mercy'.
