A four act play written by Basamiku Goryápe, The Snake Killer's Betrayal is a tale about a slightly dim thief who is trying to steal from a band of bandits. When the bandits accidentally kill a kojinōmi from a snake clan, the thief is set up to take the blame.
The play is mostly a story about the cruel vengeance of Mifúno on both the thief and the bandits, none of which survive through the play.
Quotes
