A brief recap of Jigokuraku episode 1

Jigokuraku episode 1, titled The Death Row Convict and the Executioner, started with the failed execution of Gabimaru, a ruthless assassin from Iwagakure known as Gabimaru the Hollow. Asaemon Sagiri, a skilled decapitator from the Yamada Clan, interrogated Gabimaru in his cell and learned about his background and failed execution attempts.

Gabimaru revealed his desire to escape his life as a ninja and live peacefully with his wife, who he initially claimed made him miserable. Sagiri confronted him with the fact that he truly loved his wife and wanted to leave the village to live a normal life with her. The chief of Iwagakure had tricked Gabimaru into undertaking a final mission before capturing him.

Sagiri offers Gabimaru a chance to earn his freedom and reunite with his wife by traveling to a mysterious land called Shinsenkyo with other convicts to find the elixir of life that grants immortality.

Gabimaru accepts the mission, showcasing his true capabilities using Ninjutsu and defeating the Magistrate's office staff. The episode ends with Gabimaru's adventure beginning as he embarks on a quest for the elixir to gain his freedom and reunite with his wife.
