REVENGER ANIME PLOT
Since the series is an original, there is no source material in the form of Revenger manga or light novel, but according to the official website, the plot is described as follows:
Once upon a time, in Nagasaki, a history different from ours betrayed by what he believed in, Raizo fell into a cowardly trap and killed his fiancée’s father.
Burdened with an unforgivable sin, he himself fell into a desperate situation, saved by a jack-of-all-trades who is “undertaking all kinds of convenience things.”
In fact, their true identity was “REVENGER,” a killer who takes revenge on powerless people.
Yuho is an elegant makeup artist who lives by her secret faith. Tetsuha is a former pirate town doctor who is loved by the townspeople. Nio is an androgynous boy who has both innocence and cruelty. Souji, a gambler who lives from day to day, loves sake and gambling.
Half-picked up, Raizō ends up joining a group of assassins who have one or two quirks. A strange friendship is born through the life-threatening work between the five people who were born, raised, doctrines, and claims.
Before long, they become embroiled in a big conspiracy while chasing the truth of the incident that occurred in Nagasaki.
As master assassin Usui Yuen looks into a series of assassinations made on the great samurai clan, the Satsuma, he encounters Kurima Raizo, a member, and survivor of one of the attacks.
Together, they discover the true nature of these murders is bigger than over-stolen resources. As they get closer to the truth, will they come out alive to exact revenge?
