Utawarerumono

A strange man is found by a girl and her family and nursed back to health. He appears to have lost all of his memories, and can't seem to remove a mask of bone affixed to his forehead.

The Queen of the forest, Mutikapa, is angered and begins killing some of the townspeople. Hakuoro works with the others to figure out a way to defeat it.

Tusukuru is thought to be missing from the village though is later found offering aid to a young girl with a strange affliction.

Tusukuru is inadvertently killed and members from the village go on a mission to kill the feudal lord responsible.

Hakuoro takes over command of the station which he captures, beginning to strategically lead a large-scale rebellion. When rallying troops to rise up against the oppressive government, however, he runs into Benawi, the empire's Samurai leader.

Hakuoro gains more men at his command and once again has a battle involving Benawi and the men he commands.

Finally, Hakuoro's small army reaches the castle of Emperor Inkara, to find, when they arrive, that he had already died by Benawi's blade. After this, Benawi and Kurou join Hakuoro.

Several Onkami come to Hakuoro's castle as arbitators and to gather more information on his new country Tusukuru.

As the large country of Shikeripetim threatens invasion, Hakouro devises a cunning plan to hold off Shikeripetim's emperor, Niwe, and his far superior military force.

A powerful mercenary is brought to the castle and held captive until she is able to show her worth as a fighter and joins Hakuoro's army.
