16 parts Complete Before the rise of empires and the thunder of guns, Japan was ruled by fire, blood, and gods that walked unseen.
Hino Arakame was once a priest-swordsman of the sacred Kumano Shrines-an exorcist who forged holy blades and hunted demons in the shadows of forgotten mountains. But betrayal by mortal greed bound his soul within a cursed mask, and his body burned in the flames of sacrifice.
Now, centuries later, he rides again.
Reborn as Kagutsuchi no Kiba, the Fang of Fire, Arakame is neither man nor spirit-a revenant astride a black, flame-born horse, his burning blade wielded in divine judgment. Wherever corruption festers, wherever yokai and men alike twist the balance of karma, his fire descends.
But ancient darkness stirs once more. The spider demon Daigan Shirogumo, architect of Arakame's fall, weaves his web anew, binding mortal lords and yokai clans into an empire of illusion and blood. To end him, Arakame must face not only the monsters of the world-but the fire within himself.
Between gods and ghosts, vengeance and redemption, Ashes of Judgment is a haunting journey through myth and flame, where every ember remembers a sin... and every soul must burn to be free.
