score is used to represent the blood he accumulates to
activate his powers. A vampire, therefore, loses 1 point of

ended up facing a gaijin named Lucius, who
defeated her easily because of her speed and
endurance. And at the end of the fight it became

bloodthirsty beast. Since then, Tomoe Gozen has
ceased to exist, releasing all her most secret
desires, repressed by Japanese society.
