Asura Girl: A Blood-C Tale is a live-action prequel to the anime series Blood-C, set in Japan just before World War II. The plot revolves around a small, isolated village and the escalating conflict that arises when a captain of the fascist Special Political Police (SPP) is found murdered.
Here is a summary of the plot:
* Rising Tensions: A captain of the SPP is killed, and the police force immediately suspects the villagers. In a brutal and tyrannical investigation, the SPP oppresses the villagers, creating a tense and hostile environment. The police are particularly suspicious of a young boy named Ren, who is caring for his sick sister.
* The Arrival of Saya: Amidst the chaos, a mysterious, sword-wielding girl who calls herself Saya appears. She is a powerful fighter, and her presence complicates the situation further. Ren, who is trying to protect himself and his sister, provides Saya with shelter.
* Escalating Violence: Saya's arrival coincides with a new wave of violence. More murders occur, and the conflict between the SPP and the villagers reaches a breaking point, leading to a bloody and all-out battle. The film focuses on this violent confrontation and the mystery surrounding Saya's true identity and purpose.
The film is a spin-off of the larger Blood franchise and explores a new story within that universe, focusing on the dark and oppressive atmosphere of pre-war Japan and the action-packed encounters that define the franchise.
