Nowadays, the Japanese commissioner Morio Fujiwara pursues this diabolical, apparently immortal, being. Kodeni has beome the powerful controller of a multinational specialized in combat video games. Morio suspects that their latest game – Dark Bushido – can transform itself into a weapon.

She lives in Paris and it’s here that his henchmen come looking for her.
