In Ancient Japan there are two lands, Mikoshiba and Chigusa. Mikoshiba is a sad land of barren land and poverty ruled by the evil Lord Danjo. Chigusa is a happy land ruled by Lord Juro. Juro is engaged to Lady Sayuri. In Chigusa, there is an island which houses a statue of the Majin in the middle of the lake. Evil lord Danjo invades Chigusa. He kills Sayuri's father, locks up her brother until they will give up Juro, who has escaped. Then they come and blow up the Majin statue. Juro goes to fight Danjo, almost kills him, but is captured. Eventually everyone is captured. Danjo decides to crucify Sayuri, her brother, Juro, and even a boy who threw a rock at one of his men.
While he lights up Sayuri to burn her at the stake, she preys to Majin and crys. Suddenly, once again, Majin is resurrected. It comes out of the water and parts the lake. He moves in on the castle and sets all the people who are going to be killed free. Then he crucifies Danjo on the sail of a ship. The ship catches fire and Danjo burns to death. Sayuri thanks Majin and he disintegrates into the water.
This virtually is the same as the first film. It different points are the location of the film and the fact that Danjo's men actually destroy the statue. This is just as good if not better than the first. The special effects are even better. The scene where Majin parts the lake is as good as if not better than the scene where Moses parts the river in The Ten Commandments. They were apparently inspired before they made the film by this movie.
