Jin-Emon is one of
the most loyal servants to the Bafuku government. Having served as a samurai
way back in the dark ages, Jin-Emon lives according the honor code of a
samurai. He lives to protect his master, and defile all those who dare
attempt to dethrone his lord. He used to train under the orders of his
eternal friend, Kuki, the master of the sword. There, he meets several
youngsters who have helped him regain his lively energy: the young son
of Kuki,
Seishiro, who was
always quiet and simple-mannered. The other was Jushiro,
a lively, spirited young man, who saw life as an eternal dream towards
the future. However, several things began to go wrong, which involved his
friend Kuki being killed by his other son,
Tohma,
and the betrayal of Jushiro. As the most experimented samurai, Jin-Emon
is assigned the most dangerous of his missions: he is to regain control
in the prison island of Riten Kyo, along Seishiro. He is also ordered to
kill all those traitors to the Bafuku....
