Film Synopsis

In the 16th century, the evil demon Shoshin Kodeni is summoned into existence by a Japanese family to destroy their enemies.  Half a century later, in present day Japan, it appears that Kodeni is about to make another manifestation.   Tokyo police inspector Morio Fujiwara is investigating the owner of a multinational company specialising in combat video games.  The company's latest game looks as if it might be a dangerous weapon.  Meanwhile, Kodeni is about to strike his next target: Akemi, the daughter of his opponent, who lives in Paris.  To thwart Kodeni, Morio must enlist the help of two young martial arts enthusiasts from the suburbs, Marco and Nadir.  If he fails, Kodeni may well destroy the world...
