The movie’s storyline closely mirrors that of the game. It centers on Nariko, a member of an age-old tribe tasked with protecting a mystical sword for millennia. Her mission is to deliver this sword to its rightful owner, a reincarnated deity destined to bring harmony to the realm. However, during her journey, Nariko is compelled to use the sword herself to fend off the forces of King Bohan, who desires to claim the weapon for his own purposes.
