On Sasuraido official website we can only see images and a brief history about this. A sword made from stone called the Death Blade has been passed down from generation to generation since the ancient times. The wielder of the power of this strange stone sword has ability to incarnate but always has risk his life.

There is a special quality that changes a person's adrenaline but for those who cannot channel its powers properly leads to series of misfortunes. Also the reason why people are afraid of using this sword because "it is unfortunate for the person who uses it as the user has to administer death". 

The stone sword can be called upon and only reacts to people's conscience.




Also shared is a demo CGI video for Sasuraido. It seems like it will be turned to a movie. More info coming soon.
