This story takes place some 20-25 years after GRIT. It might actually be worth wild to read "Crimson Rage" before this, 'cause of some references to it.

For those that have read the much out-dated "Crossing of the Blades," the character names (and much of the personality) have been altered to such:

Tsurugi-Flirt = Waka Sei
Tsurugi-Binge = Zashi Sei
Tsurugi-Evil = Tsuubo Sei
Tsurugi-Good = Katana Sei
Tsurugi-GRIT = Tsurugi Sei TsukiKaze
Tsurugi-RPG = Tanto

Waka and Zashi are now twin brothers (not identical).
Tsuubo's evil has been tuned down to 'seriously misunderstood.'
Katana has gone from Tsurugi-Good to the 'Good' Tsurugi. ^_^;

From there, enjoy. Feedback is nice, but not required.
