But this is all an act: him and his men are actually plotting revenge against Geza and avenge the dishonoring of Bartok's clan.
!Tropes:
* AfterTheEnd: The setting appears to be post-apocalyptic according to the narration, which mentions a series of wars has destroyed civilization as we know it leaving it vulnerable to TheEmpire's influence.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The knights have fulfilled their quest and avenged Bartok's death with Raiden personally beheading Geza, which earns them the people's approval. Knowing that they could become martyrs, the Emperor decides to not punish them for killing his chancellor but still has Raiden executed at the end]].
* GoryDiscretionShot: Bartok's death; Raiden is forced to decapitate him, but the camera cuts away before the blade can even descend. [[spoiler:Raiden's execution is also played this way]].
* OffWithHisHead: Bartok's death by Raiden's hands. [[spoiler:This is also the manner that Geza and later, Raiden, die as well]].
* ProperlyParanoid: Geza is certain that Raiden still represents a threat to him and arranges extra protection for him all the time and Raiden to be spied at all times. It reaches a point even the Emperor himself finds it excessive. He is right to be afraid since Raiden is plotting revenge and the moment Geza is convinced he is no longer a threat, he begins to set his plan in motion.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Geza's retainer and bodyguard Ito is a lot more honorable than is master, executing a {{mook}} for being needlessly cruel while displacing Bartok's property.
* RecycledInSpace: It's almost beat by beat the tale of the 47 Ronin with the setting and characters radically changed, down to the leader faking depression and madness to make his enemies underestimate him to his plan.
