It then becomes his new mission to restore history to its rightful path.
Background
The film shows an alternate history supposing that Hirobumi Itō was not assassinated by An Jung-geun in Harbin, China, in 1909; this change results in Ito's leadership guiding Japan as a military and industrial power that allies with the United States against Germany in World War II (dropping an atomic bomb on Berlin in 1945) and retains all of its wartime conquests (as well as Korea). The film takes place in 2009, 100 years after Ito should have been killed.
