Summary

In feudal Japan a samurai named Igari Juuzou, dying from illness duels across the land looking for a warriors death. He meets an strange, unholy warrior and, once he has destroyed his opponent, inherits the man's Horror-possessed blade. The blade puts him into an ageless coma only for Juuzou to wake in modern day Japan.
It is not long before Juuzou encounters Rei and challenges him to a duel upon witnessing Rei in his Zero armor. Rei relents and agrees to fight with sticks, abandoning the duel upon his victory.
Juuzou, sick of the Horror blades constant demand for blood, rams the sword into himself, thus becoming a Horror.
He draws Rei in and forces him to a rematch, revealing he once saw a Makai Knight when he was a child. As they battle Rei is torn as he believes the man before him could have/should have been a Makai Knight and not a Horror.
Rei eventually transforms and defeats the honorable warrior, granting him his desired death in battle.
While leaving, Rei thinks about Juuzou's final words, which reminds Rei of his friendly rivalry with, and of his desire to become a better Makai Knight then Kouga.
