A new demonic invasion surfaces in Japan during the early Edo period, spreading a curse tied to Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s ambitions and his pact with demonic forces.

Jubei Yagyu assembles a group of allies, including Tenkai Nankobo, Magoichi Saika, Kotaro Fuma, and Princess Yuki, to combat the growing demonic threat alongside him.
Jubei and his team confront Nue, a powerful demon general serving the Oni Clan, in a pivotal battle to stem the tide of evil spreading through Japan.
The Onimusha team faces Jacques Blanc, a mercenary allied with the demons, who serves the Oni Clan's interests in modernizing warfare for their cause.
The team locates the stronghold of the Oni Clan, where the source of the demon invasion lies, and launches a decisive assault to destroy it and sever the demonic invasion force.
In the climactic encounter, Jubei Yagyu faces Shiba Shuzen, the leader of the Oni Clan, and defeats him, putting an end to the demonic threat and restoring peace to Japan.
Following the defeat of the Oni Clan, the region of Edo begins to recover from demonic devastation, blossoms with renewed hope, and the Onimusha legacy continues through Jubei and his allies.
