Onimusha warlords

There's a game in the PS2 called Onimusha Warlords. You can see from the name itself that the game is Japanese. The game is really hard to finish and it took me a quite a time before I could finish it. Some people who likes to play games might know this game published by CAPCOM.

The game is all about a young samurai named Samonusuke Akeshi and his quest to rescue someone he loves, a princess (princess Yuki) that has been kidnapped by monsters. The game is violent and full of blood and gore. Everywhere you go (in the game) you'll se blood. So that makes it so unpleasing to see.

But let us not focus on the game itself being violent and bloody and all that. Let us focus on what the story of the game tells us. Let us focus on the heroic role of the samurai. He sacrificed everything, and I mean everything even his life just to save someone he loves. The game does not have an happy ending cause in the last cut scene, the hero of the game died and the princess whom he loved was saved because of his sacrifice, his life.

Like the story, I come to think that our soul can be kidnapped and be trapped in darkness. We sometimes be the spitting image of the monster that is within us. Then God comes in who would do just everything just to save us from what makes us fall to the darkness.

The Lord is always there, saving us but we just don't see it...
