Synopsis

edit

The series follows an unnamed young man (voiced byTakeshi Kusaoin Japanese andJason Gray-Stanfordin English)[3]who huntsogres(oni(Quỷ)). The young man was born of an ogre's corpse, like the ogre born of human's body, making him pure ogre blood. Though he was born like an ogre, he has the appearance of a human. Instead of being born with horns like traditional Japanese ogres, he was born with a sword called Onikirimaru(Quỷ thiết hoàn),the Ogre Slayer.
