«©NCSX» The kouma (demons) from the first two Sakura Taisen games resurface in America and its up to a new heroine named Gemini Sunrise and her trusty steed Rally to roust them out. Taking place in the wild west of America circa 1927, Gemini relies only on a sword known as Red Sun and a pistol to do her work. Steam punks are nowhere to be found...at least until the secret Sakura characters are unlocked. Gemini makes her way from the west coast to the east, completing missions and objectives in each city that she chances upon.

Control Gemini in full-blown 3-D action where the crimson-maned heroine rides in real time and slashes and shoots as any member of the Hanagumi is apt to do. A new masked villain named Patrick Hamilton in league with the demons provides intrigue and drama along with a new affable cast of characters. Sakura Taisen V Episode 0 serves as a prequel to next year's Sakura Taisen V which follows the traditional Sakura formula.

To whet appetites for the upcoming Sakura V, a region 3 (Asian territory encoding) preview DVD is included inside every copy of Episode 0.
