At
the beginning of the Edo Era, when people enjoyed a time of peace, Lord
Tokugawa Tadanaga holds a fighting tournament. In the past, matches
were fought with wooden swords. This time, real swords will be used.

One-armed
Fujiki Gennosuke and blind Irako Seigen will fight each other in this
match. Both are disciples of Iwamoto Kogan, who is known as Japan's
greatest swordsman. Each of them are determined to prove himself the
successor of Iwamoto's school. However, there can only be one champion.

So
begins a story of intertwining fates, conflict, and strange destinies.
