As he adjusts to the changing samurai and shinobi-filled times, he now faces another growing menace. The Yakuza League. A dark, violent take on the Justice League as brutal conquerers. Each member, corrupted by strength and imbibed with the ways of the nether realm, controls their domain with metalized palms and mythic prowess.
