Two seriously wounded samurai find refuge from a storm at an isolated temple, the home of a swordsman and a mysterious young woman. One samurai awakes to find that not only has his comrade died, but that his wounds have miraculously healed. He discovers that he has been given the power of immortality by the swordsman, a man once known as the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, who now lives an endless existence as Aragami, a "god of battle".
The second contribution to the Dual Project, where two Japanese directors tried to make the best "Dual to the Death" film, the other one being 2LDK. Aragami begins with a somewhat slow pace, but builds up and truly delivers a satisfying payoff. All in all, it's a great achievement in the world of samurai film.
