Gamora

In the twilight of Heian-era Japan, the secluded Totsugawa Village lies nestled among ancient forests, its peace sustained by generations of quiet tradition. One fateful day, the three brothers—Ichirota, Jirota, and Saburota—venture into the woods on a routine hunt, only to have their stillness shattered by unearthly sounds emanating from the sacred Kuchihokora Shrine. Drawn by dread and curiosity, they approach the hallowed ground, only to witness a cataclysmic surge of water erupt from the shrine's deepest sanctum. From that churning deluge rises Gamora, a colossal beast of unimaginable might, which descends upon the helpless village with savage fury before mysteriously retreating back into the shadows of the shrine, leaving behind only ruin and haunting questions that will echo across the ages. Centuries dissolve, and the landscape of Totsugawa has transformed into what is now known as Gamora Village—a name forever tainted by the ancient catastrophe. Into this cursed ground steps Sarutobi, a prodigious young genius whose intellect belies his years, accompanied by his loyal assistant, Shikishima. With the past's watery grave still simmering beneath the surface, the pair arrives not as mere travelers, but as seekers drawn into the village's dark legacy. As they navigate the wary silence of the locals and the oppressive atmosphere that clings to the shrine, Sarutobi begins to unravel the threads connecting the brothers' harrowing encounter to the present day—unaware that the monster's return to the shrine was never an end, but a prelude to a terror that has merely been waiting for the right moment to resurface.
