There's nothing worth killing for

I always thought that the herringbone was the tip of the knife. There are always many, many reasons, driving some people to kill others, lust, greed, selfishness, despair, and even love and justice.
It's a love story between two people who kill people in the name of love and justice, yes, it's a love story, as bloody and sad as it is.

That innocent little boy, the first time he raised his knife and slashed at another person, believed that he was righteous. Acting for the heavens and killing people with justice, it is this belief that makes him, who is kind, able to end the lives of people he never knew without hesitation. However, over time, anxiety began to creep in. When the nameless man slashed the first wound on his face, the long-awaited question emerged from the cocoon. His hands were stained with blood, stepping on the mountains of corpses. Is it really justice? Why does it look like a man-eating monster?
When that innocent and beautiful woman was determined to kill someone, love was her only reason. There is no reason, more than love, to make a woman desperate. To avenge her beloved, she can turn into a ghost, a snake, and a cold-blooded killer.

Those who fell victim to his blood-stained knife, they also had friends, they had family, they also loved and were loved. Why must someone die when a new era is established? Why must they sacrifice their happiness for the happiness of others? He came down to this troubled world to save people!
However, it was not only the deceased under his sword that was sacrificed, but also his own life! Should he be sacrificed?
Her heart softened when she found out that he was not so hateful but pitiful. She wanted to forgive him, she wanted to protect him, she wanted to save him. How long do you want to kill? She's going to be his scabbard.

What exactly is justice? In those crazy times, justice of all kinds existed. Justice for avenging the dead, justice for killing the living, justice for maintaining order, and justice for creating a new era, everyone is just.
His justice is to use murder to create happiness. However, she said, happiness cannot be obtained by killing people.
He took away her happiness, but gave her happiness. She wanted to take his life, but she gave her life for him.

Swords are weapons, and swordsmanship is murder. There is no reason why you should kill, but there are always people who you must swing to protect them from harm. Legend has it that there is a ronin with a reverse-edged sword. His blade is always facing himself. Every time he draws the sword, it is like atonement.
