action

Near the mountain on which the stone statue of the god of war Dai-Majin resides, the people are forced by the tyrant Arakawa to build a fortress for him. Workers who are no longer needed are about to fall into a sulfur pit.

Four children - Tsurukichi, Daisaku, Kinta and Sugimatsu - whose fathers are among the slave laborers, pass the mountain of the god of war on their way and pay their respects to the statue through worship. The children are killed by a stone avalanche, but come back to life by a magical wind; one of the children is brought back to life by Dai-Majin when he voluntarily throws himself off a rock to ask the god of war for help for the people who have been subjugated by Arakawa through his sacrifice.

Annoyed that Arakawa and his followers refuse to respect Dai-Majin, the god of war begins to rage and kills his adversaries. Arakawa dies by a sword and falls into the sulfur pit that was intended for the slave laborers.
